Pirates of the Burley Griffin

A schedule bears the same relationship to reality as Astrology.

It occurred to me today that:
a) New Dr Who exists in a world where some people are weeks ahead of other viewers
b) Moffatt knows this

So, is River Song warning the Doctor or us about spoilers?

Could be both

True, but nearly as interesting.

Also, only warning us creates all sorts of red herrings in universe. :)

I believe her original appearance was, in part, a comment on well-connected Doctor Who fans spoiling the plots in advance in web forums.

Really? I didn't know that. The question then becomes is it now a running gag?
