Talk:Silence in the Library (TV story)

What's on the TV?

On my 3rd viewing of the episode I caught the Ren & Stimpy soundbite in the TV scene. What are the other shows we see? 23skidoo 04:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Shop

"I want a shop. Just a shop, you know. Where people can.. shop."

I love those words. It's the third time now. --CGW 20:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Pandorica

Just rewatched this episode and Forest of the Dead and couldn't find the reference to the Pandorica. Was it actually in this episode and if so, where was it? Hiroman 06:57, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but I think the reference to the Pandorica is when she says they went to the end of the Universe(I'm not sure when, my DVD player doesn't work). The Universe, in a way, ended, but all of them had memories of it after the Doctor came back. Hope this helps. MistakeFinder 17:48, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Doctor finds a new way to switch on Sonic Screwdriver?

Didn't quite know where this should go, but in this episode and most notibly in Forest of the Dead (when he un-tints Anita's visor) the Doctor pushes on the END of the Sonic Screwdriver, as if it has yet another button. You can also see when he's looking for Vashta Nerada that he's pressing on the end of the Sonic Screwdriver.

So, is that a "new" feature, or did Mr. Tennant make a little error? And if this is noted in the article (and in Forest of the Dead), then where? Lmb02 06:30, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I haven't seen it in a while but I seem to always recall he was just holding it different but not pressing on the end. But maybe since it's something he doesn't usually use it for he has to press in a different place. My personal theory is that it's always been controlled psychically so there may not really be any buttons it might just activate by thought. GrimmShadows ☎ 17:09, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

the face Donna sees

The face that Donna sees at the beginning of The Silence in the Library, the one that the Doctor says is like donating a park bench. Do we know who that is? I thought for a bit that it could be Lee, the guy that she's with in the virtual world of the Library. Remember, the Doctor says that the Library chose a face that she'd like. Wouldn't it make sense to provide the man with that face when she's beamed up? Anoted ☎ 12:34, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Also, do we know how Miss Evangeline's data file was fixed? She said transcription errors lost her face and added intellect, but in the end we see her with her normal face. Anoted ☎ 12:34, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Unless I'm remembering wrong all we know is "The Doctor fixed it, this is a good place now" or something along those lines. Basicly all we know is that the doctor fixed the system. GrimmShadows ☎ 17:03, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Direct-to-brain Downloads

Near the start of the episode, the Doctor mentions the above. That includes Infospike technology, right? --Thunderush ☎ 05:58, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

I suppose Infospike is a form of direct-to-brain download but we don't really know if the Doctor was speaking specifically or generally. Anoted ☎ 17:57, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

River's timeline

How can River be unaware about whether she and the Doctor had done the "Crash of the Byzantium" and the "Picnic at Asgard"? I mean, she knows she did these adventures with the Eleventh Doctor, so how can she be unaware that they hadn't done it yet? --DCLM ☎ 13:33, May 18, 2017 (UTC)

The Donna Node

When I first watched this story I was terrified by the Donna node. I remember going to bed and pulling the covers over my head. Sliderhostmimic ☎ 21:40, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
