Next Who Sunday: “Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead,” Steven Moffat

There’s a reason Steven Moffat is considered the best Who script writer for Nine and Ten, and he showcases all his humor, his compassion, and his outside-the-box storytelling in this episode, which is also the debut of River Song. The resolution in this one creaks for me, but the rest is really wonderful; just skip the saccharine epilog and you’ll be fine (although trying to find a non-creepy still photo to illustrate this post reminded me of how suspenseful this one really is).
