I was the Pink Panther with the Eleventh Doctor’s brain and I had to gather the Winx to help me fight the Vashta Nerada (in a hospital, with a giant swimming pool outside).

Always trust your librarian. Especially a Whovian librarian.

It said that Steven Moffat invented the word "Vashta Nerada" for the name of the shadow piranas in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead because it would sound really great when David Tennant says it.

Well, Steven's not wrong.

Ah, we finally have it. The holy Trinity of Doctor Who horror.

“Are you my mummy?”

“Hey, who turned out the lights?”

And now…

“My arms are too long.”

Though I’ll never forget the absolutely terrifying-

#doctor who #doctor who spoilers #weeping angels scared me so much when I was younger that one year for Christmas my dad got a mini Angel statue with a piece of paper #taped to it that read ‘don’t blink’. I was horrified #and then every night when I was sleeping he’d sneak into my room and move it to freak me out #the Vashta Nerada do still give me some anxiety though lol really plays on the fear of- #‘I’m not scared of the dark. I’m just scared of what could be hiding in it’ #in this case flesh eating darkness swarm termites #vashta nerada #and zombies just freak me out I dunno why

[alannacouture]

Who’s your scariest Doctor Who antagonist (it seemed wrong to say villain)? Mine’s the Vashta Nerada, hands down. I already don’t like the dark, so the idea that flesh-eating creatures could be hanging out there? Nope nope nope

The latest in my Doctor Who sticker series! Aliens and Creatures, as voted for in my last twitter poll.

We have the Vashta Nerada, Zygons, Judoon, Hath, the Silence, and Sontarans!

Just a bunch of Little Guys. Hanging out. Causing trouble.

While out at a local event, we found a small business selling 3D printed fidget toys.

These caught my eye immediately. I purchased the grey one.

S4E8 & S4E9 - Silence in the Library & The Forest of the Dead

★★★★★

Count your shadows. Because you never know just what's lurking in the dark...

Ooof. What a two-parter. There is so much to unpack. I could go on about how sinisterly brilliant the Vashta Nerada are, hidden among the pages of the books that were harvested from the forests they lived in. Or how eerie it is to hear the dying thought patterns of someone who has just been killed. Or the concept of the Library itself, and the little girl CAL whose computer mind is so powerful that she can 'save' the Library patrons in a simulated world. Or the disappointment when Donna's simulated husband looks for her in the real world and misses her by moments. It's utterly brilliant.

But at the heart of this story is the real tragedy of time travelling. We meet River Song for the first time, a character we will become more familiar with in the Eleventh Doctor's time. She's a time traveller too. But she's going the other way. This is the first time the Doctor is meeting her. And so it is the last time she will see the Doctor.

There are so many questions when we meet her. How does she have a sonic screwdriver? A squareness gun (referred to in S1E9 The Doctor Dances)? A TARDIS themed diary? What sort of life has she led with the Doctor? He is as confused and bewildered as we are. And I wonder if it's the first time he has ever felt this way.

River sacrifices herself to make sure the Doctor gets a chance to meet her in the future. The only thing the Doctor can do is to 'save' a copy of her in CAL's simulated world. It's a bittersweet ending to a story that opens up so many possibilities for the Doctor's future.

This is a masterpiece in telling a story of science fiction time travelling and moving emotions. I cannot find a single fault here.

QUOTE: "River you know my name. You whispered my name in my ear. There’s only one way I would ever tell anyone my name. There’s only one time I could." "Hush now. Spoilers."

I've seen "hey, who turned out the lights?" way too many times since Wild Blue Yonder. And I still find myself incapable of reading it in a normal way. it's always a robotic voice, always. and I'm genuinely like dude, stop it, its YOUR brain.

Okay, hear me out. I think that 11, Amy and Rory met a post library River. Or at least post Husband's of River Song.

Why? You may ask.

Because of one piece of dialog from the Pandorica episodes.

"I dated an SD duplicate once.... swappable heads."

She's talking about Ramone and Nardole/Hydroflax.

Therefore, she either escaped The Library and is running around through time and space. OR... she had adventures during her time on Darilium.

But the way she says it: "ONCE," makes me think that she's talking about more than 24 years ago.

So I think, she escaped The Library. She had to have. But she also knew at the library that she couldn't give out 'Spoilers.'

So what did she do? She told the doctor about Darilium.

But how did she escape the library? Who helped her escape? Did she even need help?

But also, because she has to keep the timeline intact she acts like she's not from the future when Amy mentions the Weeping Angel's at the Bizantium. So she hops around and makes sure that things play out the way they're supposed to.

All of this makes me think that Amy, Rory and 11 had more adventures with a post library River.

So, this means, IF I'm right, that I need more Alex Kingston on DW. Like right now.

So in conclusion, 11, Amy and Rory met River after the Library in my headcanon.

Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead always freak me out no matter how many time I watch it. One of my greatest fears is being helpless and I think the Vashta Nerada embodies that. You cannot escape them, they will kill you, that thought terrifies me. That's why I love Doctor Who, taking the most simple of fears and using a sci-fi setting to explore it.
