Forest of the Dead

Wow. That's about all I can say. Wow.

They were all saved to the hard drive! I love it! Moffat does it again!

River's death scene was one of the bestof the season so far, a close second behind Jenny's gun shot wound and Hath Peck's sacrifice. Moffat does yet another time loop, with the Doctor always knowing River's fate during his times with her.

Anita's gaining and losing of shadows, besides being a giving away factor, made the episode all the creepier, as anyone in a spacesuit could potentially be a Vashta Nerada.

Donna's continuous forgetting and remembering by the aid of Doctor Moon was interesting, as it leaves the audience confused. Having real things in the Library turn into programs and files in the computer that is the Library was just a really clever idea.

The most ironic piece of the episode was clearly when Donna promised Lee that she would find him in the Library, but she is unable to fulfill her promise, and he is teleported away before he can alert her of his presence, and all because of his stutter. Donna believes that she had made him up, like her children, in the computer that is CAL, but he was real, and will never see her again.

A fabulous episode overall!
