"Silence in the Library"

[adelaidesean]

No spoilers, I promise. Just wanted to say that Steven Moffatt managed to fit more ideas, world-building, character development, plot, and genuine scares into half a story than the rest of this season of Doctor Who combined. He has such a skill for teasing iconic images--zombie kids with gas-mask faces, murderous statues, and now shadows--out of clever SFnal ideas, thereby pleasing both sides of my brain while blowing it at the same time. I'm sure those qualities will bleed into the show as a whole, once he's producer. The sooner he takes over, the better.

Imho, of course.

Haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

But Moffat freakin' rocks.

Can't wait!

You'll love it.

At the very least, you'll appreciate the jump from formulaic, half-baked stories to something with a little substance.

Moffatt might even be laying the foundations for 2010 already, in which case I am more excited still.

I know nothing about it, but I like the title.

However, in my twenty years of working in libraries, I have only worked in two that were actually quiet.

You'll love this library. Apart from the monsters, of course. :-)

I've got it, but haven't watched it yet.... in fact, I may go and watch it now!

Iain tells me that Stepjan Moffatt wrote my all-time favourite Dr story (Sorry, Kate, sorry, John), about the Dr trying to get access to a restricited text in the new Library of Alexandria, and having problems with the Librarian..... It's in the Decalog 3: Consequences collection.

Stephen Moffat is definitely what Doctor Who needs. "The Girl in the Fireplace" is my all time favorite episode, and I really don't like what the other writers are doing with the series, so this is good news.

Of course, I've been a long time SM fan, ever since his "Coupling" days.

One of these decades I'm gonna shut you in a room with my other half & let you both drool together.

I had the old one being a very happy chappy with that & the not so young one going 'Argh' on the finale for Lost.

For a non-Whovian it wasn't bad at all, especially given the fare this season.

Personally I'm in Dexter mode, to hopefully be followed by Pushing Daisies (which when written is kinda scary sequencing *lol*).
