Thinking too much

[binidj]

So this week's offering from Dr Who "The Time of Angels" had me pondering something in the small wee hours:

If River Song wasn't taught to fly a TARDIS by the Doctor, doesn't it follow that she was taught by a Timelord? So does that mean that she is a Timelord who has somehow managed to avoid the whole Time War thing by dint of hiding? Or that she has made contact with one who isn't in the time bubble? Of course she might have been lying and it's possible that the Doctor did teach her, just not this Doctor. Man this timey-wimey stuff is confusing.

In other news, hurrah to the adorable Catpooka anf Jimfer, at least one of whom is going to have a baby in the next few months. Yippee!

Time stuff is brain hurt.

Assuming stable time lines and no big reboots, she's from the Doctors future so post Time War, so there should be no other Time lords about to teach her. Either it was not a Time lord, it was a later regeneration of the Doctor (though she seems to know the different regenerations as the same person) or someone survived. what about the Rani? Romana? Drax?
Though the crack in the world, apart from spawning lots of 'amy's crack' jokes, may be foreshadowing a big dimensional collapse and plot reset.
