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.
