Discussion of Episode 4.08 "Silence in the Library" - Aired 5/31/08 (BBC1-UK)

[N4H]

The Doctor and Donna enter a world of terror inside an abandoned library. They're given only one warning. "Count the shadows"

BBC - Doctor Who - The Official Site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/)

The best so far, I thought, and another Rose blip. Looking for Rose is getting to be like Where's Waldo. :)

[Mr Pointy]

Bloody brilliant! Loved it to pieces...I'm hoping part two is as good. I must have missed the Rose bit...where was she? I did however note two occurences of 'I'm so sorry' :) The data ghost idea was great and probably the creepiest (and saddest) thing I've seen recently. I chuckled wryly at the 'spoiler' scene.

You know the little girl who's locked in the security cam? Do you remember that part where the Doctor links with her through the television set? After that she scans through the channels trying to reconnect. There's a flash of a girl I'll bet money is Rose. She's holding something in her hands, and adjusting it. I rewound a few times to be as sure as possible.

So is Doctor River Song a future companion do you think? Is it romance? There was a hint Donna will die before the end of the season, right? Aren't those shadow piranha kind of reminiscent of the Angel statues in Blink? I don't mean there's an actual connection. I just mean the one reminds me of the other.

Actually there was a Rose moment.

It wasn't Billie Piper, but the little girl had two drawings on her living room wall - the pictures were a Wolf and a Blonde Girl.

Also I am convinced that the little girls name will be revealed to be 'Cal'.

I think she is the index, that she is the Library computer that has somehow disassociated itself from the mainframe and created this new entity.
That would explain why they are connected PLUS as it is the future, it might even have a chronicle of the Doctor - that diary.

It was very 'The Time Travellers Wife' with River Song.

Alex looked incredibly sexy, and I love the idea of a future companion.
I also got the impression that David Tennant will be around for a while yet, especially if RS was accurate when she recognised him as him.

I've been saying for a while now that Donna will die and it seems that she really will:(

[Angel's vision]

I think that the little girl is the Library computer, and that the Dad and the psychiatrist are the menace, that maybe resp for the Vashti Nerada.

I felt sad for their first victim BUT I knew that she was a gonner when she followed the trap I mean open door.
River Song did tease Ten well! Pretty Boy was a classic! Really enjoyed this eppy. I also got the "Wooden Heart"(Who novel) element and "Matrix" element to this aswell.

[N4H]

Thanks for being the first brave enough to attempt a spelling of Vashti Nerada AV. I didn't have the guts. Looks good. I'll use it.

I actually did see the possible "Bad Wolf" reference BotD, but wasn't confident enough to mention it. So that tells you how confident I am that little television clip really was Rose. I'm pretty sure the wolf and blond pics were a Rose reference too, but I wasn't sure everybody else would think so.
