Topic: Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead
Ok, who survived the emotional one-two punch at the end of the second part w/o significant damage to their emotional well-being? The Moff does it again!
For me the best episode of Doctor Who has been The Girl in the Fireplace simply because of how well it was written and because the chemistry between Tennant and Miles (his real-life girlfriend) was something extra-ordinary. I love Blink as well, but I missed the emotional core that made The Girl in the Fireplace so exceptional.
Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead combine for me the emotions of The Girl in the Fireplace (especially the "death" part) and the inventiveness of Blink (the backstory of River). Simply breath-taking. The Moff does it again!
