The Doctor writes to and rounds up his friends, Amy and Rory, Professor River Song to meet up in The USA. An Astronaut comes out of the water and shoots the Doctor dead, but soon later, a younger version of the Doctor meets the three companions. They travel back to 1969 to meet up with the forth person the Doctor wrote to Canton Everett Delaware 3rd, a former FBI agent drafted in by President Nixon. Nixon is receiving calls from a young girl in trouble. The Doctor, Amy, Rory, River and Canton go in search of the little girl. On the site where she had been River and Rory discover a control room, the same as we last saw in 'The Lodger,' underground are monsters with massive powers and the perfect defence mechanism, once seen they are instantly forgotten.
It looks great, the setting is so different, it feels very fresh and new. Series 5 looked a little dull in parts, on this offering Moffat really upped his game.
Fans of the Edvard Munch will love the Silence, clear influence for the wonderful monsters, great concept that you see them and then forget.
I liked how River talked about her timeline and how it worked in opposite directions to the Doctor's, she said 'the day is coming when i'll look into that man's eye and he won't have the faintest idea who I am,' does she mean the library?
Series 6 opens up in a big way, this was an excellent opening episode, big scale, interesting series arc beginning, some big shocks and lots of clues to get you interested. It is seriously cleverly written and a huge cliffhanger is left.
Fantastic 10/10
