Silence in the Library

Of course the trouble with having a two-parter is that it gives you plenty of time to think as to what might happen before the nest episode shows.

So here's what I'm guessing...

Well – we know it being only half way through the series – Donna is in no way going to be dead for long. She was hijacked mid-transportation for her own safety – just before the Vashta Nibblers were able to grab her...

Indeed -from the horse's mouth as it were, she has been saved. Saved like a computer program. I know from spoilers that Donna pays a little visit to her own past – where she chats to a certain Miss Evangelista who's wearing a black funeral veil and is seen in a playground with some young girls all dressed in identical red coats – at one point even wearing her wedding dress again.

We know they're on the biography section of the Library planet... I'm guessing that all the information that makes up Donna (her soul if you like) -her Data Ghost - has been stored within her own biography file (good filing) – which is why she's visiting her own life. Bet you gets a few spoilers of her own from that – this is foreshadowing on steroids.

We also know the Library has flesh banks – where the donated faces are stored. I'll guess the rest of her body is stored there... apart from her fce... yeeeesh.

Which is all pretty gruesome really... ew. But better than being nibbled to death by shadow-dwelling dust motes.

But after the Vastna whatsits have been vanquished by next week – there's a way CAL can rejoin the two again – along with the other 4022 Library people who were saved.

What's CAL? I think it's the Library's security computer system – which is so mind-bogglingly vast – that it's developed sentience – it's even dreaming – and it currently believes it's self to be a little girl. I don't know what her father represents but I doubt if it's up to any good. Although he and Dr Moon could represent other aspects of the computer's OS. Yeah. It's all very 'matrix-y' but what you gonna do?

How's the Doctor going to thwart the Vashta Nerada? Not got a clue – but zooming through some sort of vortex with his sonic screwdriver will have something to do with it...

These shadows - mmmm just wondering if they have anything to do with that there coming darkness Rose mentioned in the trailer.

Quibbles:

I hope Stephen Pembleton has a lot more to do next episode – because he had so little to do in this one. It seems a waste him even being there otherwise...
