It was okay, but in a few places it felt like a re-working of the silence in the library scenario - understandable given Moffat's role in both. But the Angel using Bob's voice sounded like a straight out rip off, and a little lazy. Soldiers/Priests substituted for scientists in the library story, a building that has been empty for 4 hundred years seemed like other aspects from the library template. And the River Song character wasn't as enjoyable second time round. (I don't know why.)


I found it to be a bit of a hybrid of Silence in the Library, Blink (obviously) and the Empty Child, all together. I don't remember why it reminded me of the latter, but it struck me.

I agree about River Song. I watched the library episodes afterwards, and she really is more subtle and acts with a wider range in the older episodes. I don't know why. Maybe there was a better director?

The Doctor and Amy are starting to bond well, and I am seeing Matt Smith as the Doctor in his own right, and his own character. Still, it was much better than last weeks Dalek story.

PS Still not sure where they are going with the glowing wound that is unsubtely seen in every episode.


It looks like something will happen with that in the next episode. It might explain the weird discrepancy between real time and what we have seen before. And possibly also the oddity of River Song showing up only after the Doctor has regenerated.

If the universe has cracks, it could conceivably be due to something the Doctor did in his semi-mad period, if he failed to respect something that was a fixed point in time for example. I don't know. I am very intrigued.
