Yes, it's River Song (Alex Kingston), the mysterious archeologist who has apparently met the Doctor many times in her past — and his future. Are we about to see their first meeting, from her perspective? And what's that gadget she's holding? To be honest, I'm not sure how I'll feel following the relationship between the Doctor and River Song, all the while knowing that in the end, he's going to trap her in an insipid virtual afterlife with two weird children.
