Currently I’ve been rewatching all of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit from the beginning to the end on Netflix.

During my watching I’ve noticed a defense attorney played by actress Alex Kingston. The same Alex Kingston who plays River Song in Doctor Who.

What makes this more interesting is that the character River Song in Doctor Who has a mother who’s name is Amy Pond and her characters name in Law & Order:SVU is named Miranda Pond!

Coincidence? Or maybe River Song did a stint as a legal defense attorney in New York?

Is it possible that Doctor Who and Law & Order are not linked? Either by River Song workings on a defense attorney or could Law & Order just be called an alternate reality?

You decide.
