I love Steven Moffat's writing and "Silence in the Library" did not disappoint! Very creepy and will keep me guessing until next week how they are going to be able to resolve it. A great cliff-hanger (and another example of why I feel they should change the show's format to do a majority of two-part stories instead of single episode stories). I can not wait until Steven Moffat takes over as Executive Producer next year to see how he changes the direction of the show.

Yes, Moffat's name on a project seems to be the watchword for quality. I have loved his writing ever since I fell in love with the wit of Coulping and he manages to keep that up even during a dark and spooky story.
Plus, Alex Kingston? Still very hot (I fancied her when she was in Moll Flanders and ER and she's not changed!)
The plot's a lot more complex:

I can't quite work out what's going on with the little girl. Is she a sentient computer who's created a fantasy life perhaps? However it turns out, I thought she was a cracking little actress!
P.s. I'm not talking to ImNoHere, he's a mean mean person. Or possibly possessed.

Its not my fault - I was traumatized as a child: it was the 1970s - winter of discontent and all that. There was a miner's strike, and scheduled power blackouts across the country. Guess at what time on a Saturday evening the lights went out?!
(Shudder!)
Still, this reinforces how great it is that Steven Moffat is taking over from Russel T Davies: he has a deep understanding of what Who is all about: (1) Scary monsters for the kids - look out behind you! (2) Make every-day objects scary (3) Add deeper, psychologically disturbing layers to rattle the adults (4) remember a time machine can do much more than just take you to interesting places! It will be interesting to see what other writers come up with when he takes over the helm.
Only real criticism is that maybe he used up a few too many good ideas in one go on this one (e.g. the Dr River Song subplot deserves plenty of space)... hope he's got plenty more where they came from.

Yes, I thought if felt a little cramped, plot wise.
Oh I forgot, I'm not talking to you. You spooked me!

Steven Moffat is going to take over from RTD? I hadn't heard that yet.
I love the stories he write. Didn't he write The Empty Child/Doctor Dances in season one as well? Those are still my favourite Dr Who episodes ever.
I thought yesterdays episode was great. The right amount of scaryness. Invisible monsters are always the scariest.

Steven Moffatt is a nasty, nasty man. I need my sleep. I've only just got over those bloody statues.
He has an instinctive grasp of just exactly what will scare the go-se out of a body, don't he? Let's just hope he and Tim Minear never have occasion to join forces. People will be stapling their eyes open a la 'Clockwork Orange' and twitching in very brightly lit corners.
And now there's a character called River?

Oh I have to agree with you there. Stephen Moffatt just doesn't want me to sleep at night by creating those creepy characters.
I still can't look at Angel statues without thinking they have an ulterior motive, lol

I guess I don't scare easily anymore (then again, I did watch in broad daylight, so that may have something to do with it). 
For me, the best part had to be

the data ghosts. Not just disturbing, but moving on a deeply emotional level. Makes one ponder some really fascinating questions about death.
