You're kidding, right? Doctor's Daughter and Murder on the Shitty Express were fucking abysmal.
On topic, gave this a fantastic. Moffat never fails to deliver.

It seems like someone from his future. The "Sweetie" reference was huge to it.
Agreed. I had to watch it again, as it was that good.
I just had the weirdest thought in my head. Ripping off a Muscles song.
Oh, duh! This isn't the first time I confused the two.
As for the spoiler code talk, I'm not going to look at your response, although I'll say I'm both surprised and relieved that my speculation isn't true. Curiouser and curiouser...
Nope. It was a dialogue reference.
When Professor Song used the sonic disruptor to open a hole in the wall, the Doctor exclaimed "Squareness gun!", which, if you remember, was how Rose referred to the device in "The Doctor Dances", where Captain Jack had one.
See - told you it was oblique.
There's a painting of a (bad?) wolf right under the painting of the blonde girl... A more likely Rose ref.
Thanks for the screen cap. I definitely missed the first time around. I was too busy looking at the robot model. 
Oh, duh! This isn't the first time I confused the two.
Robby the Robot did appear in an episode of Lost in Space. There's an urban myth that they're actually the same prop (they aren't) that stems from this.
i've never met any black people without black or white/grey hair that was natural.
Dangit I was completely underwhelmed by this one. It's a vast improvement over the previous two episodes, but it didn't really grab me. Here's hoping that next week'll bring a nice payoff.
And Tennant really needs to tone it down.

If I have my facts straight though, I think Robby and the LiS robots were both designed by the same person.
Ugh, thats what I was afraid of. Lord people are a bnch of tasteless plebs. No doubt if they showed shit like 'Dancing With The Stars', and 'Idol' over there, they'd be top rated programs as well.
Sad that probably the best epiosdes this season (This one, and 'The Poison Sky') have gotten tne worse ratings.
People of Britian, seriously WTF

They do and they are. In fact, those formats originate in Britain.
He's not saying anything unreasonable.

Robby did guest star on Lost In Space but he wasn't the main robot.

Fantastic.
Purely because I absolutely adore Alex Kingston's character. I haven't liked a new character this much since the introduction of Captain Jack, also Moffatt's work.
To hell with Rose, lets keep River Song around for as long as Alex Kingston's willing o stay, IMO.
But, hey, "spoilers"!
I'm definitely curious as to how the little girl is interfacing with a library planet 3,000 years in the future. That's going to be an interesting explanation.

I thought she looked remarkably like a young Gwen from Torchwood.

I marked it as Above Average as it definitely needs part two to complete the story, there are so many great unanswered questions the episodes could easily be the best so far this year.
Can Mr Moffatt do a 'normal' Doctor Who story? I wonder how much the tone of the series is going to change?

I think the little girl is the library computer as is her "world", what I'm curious about is who the other figures with her represent (dad and Dr. Moon).

Well, there was this Algerian girl in Strasbourg...
But all the same, Alex Kingston isn't black
