It’s during the time of the 11th Doctor that things truly get strange on the Doctor Who timeline. The season-long arc based around the death of the 11th Doctor in a lake in Utah takes numerous twists and turns, making for one of the show’s most convoluted stories.
The sixth season begins with the Doctor being assassinated by an astronaut in a lake in Utah. As he begins to regenerate, he is shot again by the mysterious, space suit-wearing stranger. This interrupts the regeneration process and the Doctor’s life. Following a funeral by the Doctor’s companions Rory and Amy Pond, they find the Doctor waiting in a nearby cafe. He explains that the version of himself they all saw assassinated was him, 200 years in the future.
On top of this mystery, viewers learn the true identity of River Song. Song is the daughter of The 11th Doctor’s companions Rory and Amy Pond. Her conception inside a time machine has given her some of the powers of a Time Lord, including the ability to regenerate. Throughout the season, we see River inhabiting different forms, including Amy’s childhood friend Mels.
