There is something about Doctor Moon from Silence In The Library that always puts me in mind of General Smyth from The War Games and vice versa. I'm not sure if the former is a nod to the latter, but the way Dr Moon speaks to the characters when doing his 'remember/forget' speeches, along with the specs he wears, just seems really similar. To me at least.

Interesting thought. Yes, there is a similarity.

It had never even occured to me, but I can definately see the similarity. It would be nice to think it's intentional but I think it's more likely a coincidence than anything else. I might be wrong though.

I would never assume parallels with the classics are a coincidence when Moff's writing.

You know, Dr Moon was the first thing I thought of when he started doing his hypno thing in this. Great minds And also I think Nyki is right. Probably not a coincidence.

I can't say I noticed it at the time, but now you mention it I can see the similarites. But now I need to know if it was intentional. I feel a google hunt coming on.

I already had a look online to see if there was any mention of it but I couldn't find anything. Glad I'm not the only one to see it though. Makes me feel less mad
