NewWho: The Library Part II

Otherwise known as something about a forest.



(a) Thank the gods Donna is back with us. Whew! I was actually concerned we'd lost her there.

(b) I hate River Song. Hate hate hate hate. Now I've got that out of my system, I suspect it's because of her condescending attitude to our Doctor. There's a big difference between Donna's "Don't get too big for your boots, sunshine" sass, and Song's *whine whine whine* "You're not good enough. You're not finished. You're nothing like him."

(c) More Steven Moffat love. Not every shadow. Any shadow.

(d) Ah the irony of my self control this last week, avoiding spoilers.

(e) Re (b), note to self: It's Only A Television Show.

Jules and I were strong, too. Hooray for will power!
I missed a fair bit as the story was too hard for Jules to follow so she kept talking over it and asking long winded questions. I think that now I deserve to re-watch it on the interwebby.

I must admit, I was disappointed in River Song. Mainly because she was not Bernie. As in Bernice Summerfield. Who is more full of winnage than a lot of the Doctors!

OTOH, It was interesting to see how someone from the Doctor's future reacted to him... I hope SM writes another ep showing how she meets him for the first time! Turnabout is fair play and all!

And on the SM line, shadows, statues, small children in gas masks ... and The Sofa of Reasonable Comfort* - what will he make us afraid of next?








*The Curse of Fatal Death. A fine, fine episode.

I won't expect to see River Song again.

She called a thousand year old Time Lord in his 10th regeneration 'young'. 'Her' Doctor is a long, long way off.

Curse you, trying to dash my high hopes with mere facts!

I see your facts and raise you three unsubstantiated speculations, complete with internal inconsistencies! Have at thee!

I think you should save them for... later.

I enjoyed it much more this time because I wasn't trying to work out what was going on, but just enjoying it.

And I liked Ms Song.

That's Professor Song. What did you like about her?
