its possible. the justice dudes obviously time travel and they wanted to kill hitler before he got 'bad', so maybe they imprisoned her before she could commit her crime.

I don't think so, no. They tried to abort the capture of Hitler when they realized that they were too early in his timestream, and even explained that they pluck war criminals out of time at the end of their particular established timelines.
I think the thing with River was not anything to do with crime prevention, but rather the zealousness of war criminal hunters having the biggest prize in history appear right in front of them. Imagine if Hitler or Himmler had survived WW2 and French/German/Israeli war criminal hunters found themselves unexpectedly face-to-face with one of them. They'd leap at the opportunity to capture them, consequences be damned.

Not sure I think that's it, but the thought occurred to me.

I actually thought the episode was going to be about them fighting Hitler at the end of WWII *shrugs* but of course never EVER judge anything by its tittle.
I loved this episode. I love the many instances of off beat humor, like Rory, Amy and The Doctor screaming at Mel's car charging at them, them regretting saving Hitler only to have Rory push him in a closet and Rory beating up the robotic human.
I also liked seeing River's development, why in the end she goes from being urged to kill the Doctor to instead saving his life. Personally the River/Doctor Shipper in me squealed at the part where she used all her regenerations to revive the Doctor, it was just beautiful.
And of course...Matt Smith's performance was brillant as usual!BALCONIES

Does your head hurt yet?
I've given up trying to make sense of whether or not the Cracks still exist or not or whether they happened or not. I just roll with the Doctor's notion that time can be unwritten as well as rewritten. Either that or the whole thing's just hopelessly FUBAR anyway so I don't bother trying to wrap my brain around it.sigpic

I thin captain Janeway had a couple of better quote.
Time travel. Since my first day on the job as a Starfleet captain I swore I'd never let myself get caught in one of these godforsaken paradoxes - the future is the past, the past is the future, it all gives me a headache.
Or there this one
My advice on making sense of temporal paradoxes is simple: don't even try.
