Fuck me that was fucking brilliant Dr Who. That must have been Moffat right? Soooo glad he's taking over. |

Yes, it was Moffat. Only bit I didn't like about it was the repetition of certain lines. "Donna Noble is no longer in the library. Donna Noble has been saved." being the main one. There's no reason for the "computer" to say that more than once. |

Moffat has now managed to scare the shit out of kids re: statues, shadows, libraries, and being inside their own heads. Next: the Doctor vs. cracks in the pavement. And it'd still be a fine episode, too. |

It's creepy enough seeing Donna's face stuck in a bit of concrete (echos of Love & Monsters, anyone?) without the repetition. In previous Moffat episodes, the repetition has been spread out a bit. The "Are you my mummy?" repeat is in character with Jamie so I'm not bothered about that. "We did not have the parts" in Girl in the Fireplace is only repeated as an answer to another question. "Don't blink" is spread out throughout the episode... see what I mean? The cracks on the pavement idea is genius, though. Be interesting to see what he'd do with that. Like, the paving slabs are actually sentient beings and the cracks are their way of breeding - i.e. they start off as one giant slab and, through mitosis, split up into lots of other slabs. Or something like that. |

I think the girl 'ghosting' is one of the most incredible emotional moments in Doctor Who this series and possibly since Human Nature/Family of Blood. |

I genuinely felt a bit chokey throughout that bit. A brilliant idea, and a very affecting one.  I'm thrilled that this episode was a genuine avalanche of mysteries. The girl's world seemed quite strange as well, it had quite a dream like atmosphere. I loved it. Certainly the best so far this series, 5/5 from me. |

As I said ('in another place'- Ed), its got a very Matrix-y feel to it... I'm guessing that Donna will turn up in the girl's 'world', as it exists in the library computer. Being 'saved' literally means being saved, as in 'computer file'. I assume that there's some way of getting Donna out again. |

Between the neural doodads and the library's storing of "flesh" (I guess "DNA and stuff") there seems to be plenty of scope for reconstituting people. |

To be fair, even without a trailer, I can think of 2 obvious ways that they can get out of that situation. Not including these alternatives: David Tennant gurns his way to freedom. They run away. |

Wasn't it that the communicator had a clone of the speech part of the brain or something with a psychic link that could replicate voiced thoughts in the event of a besuited person being unable to call for help verbally. However, the 'pattern buffer' of the cloned brain part sometimes stores and loops information post death. I think that was it. But yes, for poignant scene and zombie voice. |

Sitting on a wall(?) with your right leg on top of the wall, and your left leg dangling over. Your right elbow resting on your right leg, with your right arm in turn supporting your head, chin in hand, hand with index finger out, left hand resting on left leg. Fear my stalking abilities.
