River Song
River Song, a future companion or maybe more appears in The Silence of the Library for the first time. It is here we receive her catch phrase, spoilers. The Doctor seems really puzzled as River Song says things and does somethings.
This is just the beginning of the story line with River. Steven Moffat continues to build on this. She has become a character who reappears from time to time. She comes to the library with a space crew to investigate what has happened at the library. Just before she and her crew arrive the Doctor and Donna arrive to find the largest library in the universe to completely empty.
During the process of things, the Doctor meets an enemy which is absolutely horrifying. They leave in the trees of the forest and the feed on those unexpecting people by attaching themselves to their shadows. They are very scary and very quick to devour their prey, therefore if they attach to you your life span is extremely short. The name of this foe is the Vashta Nerada.
When River Song appears everything begins to break loose. Her crew consist of five men and women not including herself. By the end of this first episode of the two parter two of her crew die. The Vashta Nerada have eaten them.
The reoccurring theme is stay out of the shadows. Then is one of the members of the crew has two shadows the Vashta Nerada has attached itself to them. This is a very scary ordeal, therefore I am glad I am not there with them.
The way this show develops leads us into some things which shock the Doctor and I believe makes him mad. I like the way the program progress and builds to a climax. The second part ends the set very well, but that is for another post.
We will not find out all we need to know about the library until the Forest of the Dead. They episode is very interesting to me. I like what they do with bring a future person of interest for the Doctor. I know who she now because I watch Doctor WHo, but at the time I was like in the dark. The story with River Song continues and we will most likely see her again. But, there are not any spoilers for that yet.
