Teh Moff
"Spoilers", eh? :)
There were perhaps one or two too many nods toward fandom last night, but there's still a whole different quality to Steve's writing (and, to an extent, to the production). As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ramtops said to me, I hope he still has time to write when he's running the damned thing.
On The Book: I can only assume that its not full of static dead-tree-equivalent pages and, presumably, Prof Song could have found the Doctor's first encounter with her in there is she'd bothered to look? After all, she managed to give us yet another damned presentiment of Donna's demise (I'm guessing she gets restored from wherever she's been backed up by the library/girl next week).
The girl is obviously the library AI itself; what does that make Dr Moon, and her "father", who has to be out of "earshot" when Dr Moon tells her the Library is reality?
Elsewhen, Miss Evangelista's buffered personality decay was one of the most genuinely moving moments in this season's Who thus far, and a rare bit of what I probably shouldn't think of as Proper SF in the show.
Overall, without knowing how it's going to be concluded, joint best with "The Fires of Pompeii" this season.

For me, it was the best so far. I didn't think "The Fires of Pompeii" was as good. Certainly that and "The Planet of the Ood" were enjoyable compared to all the others (particularly the excreable episodes 6 and 7) but it's taken up to now and Moffat to make this series really shine.
