I will look into that vid rec. I know zero about Dollhouse but I'd probably still be interested in reading it.
And three: FLAIL! OMG, you are SO, SO right. "blew up the time machine that helped make her what she was, on the very date she was conceived" And hell, they blew up the time machine WITH HER IN IT. If you look at it as an attack on her, that really, really works. And it's later in her timeline too, so if she ends up doing something with the Doctor later in *his* timeline, earlier in hers, it would make sense that when they're attacking her, because of something she does in the Doctor's future, it would be in those early episodes. Which makes one wonder. That's very close to when she dies in the Library. When the TARDIS bring her to that date and then goes haywire (perhaps because they are attacking River/trying to kill her), doesn't it say, "Silence will fall"? And then people have been talking about the title, "Silence in the Library," which makes me wonder . . . Did they actually get her? Meaning, was she set up to go to the Library as a progression of this unseen force trying to unmake her? After all, the Doctor nearly died there. If he died as Ten, that would definitely have affected River being born. Was it a trap to get her (and/or the Doctor)? Starting to feel a bit like a conspiracy theory, but still! I think there's something in what you were saying. Until proven otherwise in canon, this is now my head-canon. And that makes that episode even more interesting for me. Thank you for that.
