Silence in the Library revisited

I wasn’t a big fan of Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead when they first came out, There were many better episodes that season.

But with Series 5 behind us the pair of them take on a whole new meaning and Alex Kingston’s performance looks both better and more poignant. Kingston’s River Song has (along with Arthur Darvill’s Rory) have been an incredible addition to the show. Darvill’s character is the geek that so many of us who watch the show are. Song’s character transforms the Doctor into the Geek for us to identify with.

I hope Kingston stays a while, she adds an incredible dimension to the series that we haven’t seen since Romana.

Kingston current performances combined with Stephen Moffat has really raised the series. They are so good they even make two year old episodes better.

You’ve gotta love quotes like this:

Amy: Have you thought about what happens if the Gravity fails?

The Doctor: “I’ve thought about that.”

Amy: “And?”

The Doctor: “We’ll all plunge to our deaths. See, I’ve thought about it.”

From Series 5 episode 5 Flesh and Stone

Another reason to love Dr. Who

Doctor Who The Big Bang my thoughts

I don’t want to give away any spoilers to those who want to wait the 3 weeks to see it in the US but here are my thoughts.

The episode was absolutely nothing like I expected.

I always liked the character of Rory, I liked him even more after this one.

The tone was the exact opposite of the previous episode.

There was an Inigo Montoya Moment and a side reference to something from the Princess Bride.

There is a significant contradiction from a particular 5th Doctor episode that will have to be explained or resolved.

Something happens in this episode that has never happened in the 47 years of the series, thinking back it’s actually amazing that it has never been the case.

Alex Kingston has the best part in television.

I absolutely loved the ending.
