The follow up to the season premiere, which essentially makes it a two-parter, delivers on a grand scale. Beginning with the Doctor in custody and his companions being hunted down one by one is confusing at first. But this setup really pays off a short time later. Exciting, intriguing, and creepy, the continued battle against the silence is both a fun adventure and a chilling sci-fi suspense tale. And the Silence really do feel like a major threat; you feel the danger the characters are in.
The episode crescendos in a terrific, hilarious and action packed climax (gotta love the flirting between River and the Doctor). And so wrapped up in the fun and suspense one barely notices the subtle threads laid to be developed as the season continues - - which makes it all the more fun to rewatch! 9/10
