It's only because it doesn't make sense Danny, much like Merlin aging backwards. Apart from that it is fine. They state this is happening - but why and how does she know? Maybe it has happened in that order for a number of times but where is the logical explanation that it will happen the next time they met or the time after? I suspect a DEM explanation at the end somehow which is never really satisfactory.
But it does, they are both time travellers, perhaps it is our own perception that time must be linear, but the concept has been there for ages.
To both of them their time is linear, but to us (because we are only seeing the Doctors side..) River song seems in the wrong order. I am sure there will be people (ot even DVD extras which will show everything from Rivers POV and you know what... then the Doctors timeline with seem in the wrong order).
I'm only half joking when I say use Groundhog Day as a primer, to Andie MAcDowell she's hardly spent anytime with Bill Murry, yet he knows all about her because he's lived the day over and over. So in essecence his past is her present, but I didn't see many people not understanding that... maybe if there were mulitple days... perhaps Back to the Future 2 might be a better example.
