  • On the planet Midnight, the shuttle bus the Doctor is riding on is attacked. Sky Silvestry seems to be the most affected, repeating everything said but if she isn't in control of herself and her words, then what is? Subscribe: bit.ly/SubscribeToDoctorWho

      Right? Even he doesn't know what it is, which is scary, goes to show that there's some things beyond even the Timelords understanding, personally I think it was one of the Great Old Ones from before the universe like the Beast or the Great Intelligence.

      The Doctor always bumped into entities he didn't know about in the OS. The mistake of NuWho was turning the Doctor into some universal travel guide who, despite only having lived 900 years or so, has somehow familiarized himself with every baddie in the cosmos. There are BILLIONS of galaxies, with BILLIONS of stars in them, with each of them having BILLIONS of years worth of time periods. Even if you confined your stay to just 24 hours per stop, in 900 years you'd have only visited 327,600.
      Relatively speaking, that's not even out your front door and in your car yet.

    I think the creepiest part about this being is the fact that we never learned what was out there. We never learned what could take over a person’s mind. Even the Doctor was clearly frightened by this being.

    • @LittleHobbit13
      @LittleHobbit13 Год назад +194

      I would say the creepiest part is that the monster didn't have any power of them except what they gave it. If they had just sat down and been silent, it would have remained quite powerless, but instead they let their own fear make the situation worse and worse. Human fear was the real monster, and we saw exactly how it would take over a person's mind, how it could be so overpowering that it could unsettle even the Doctor. Something as ordinary as human fear.

    2:55 I just realised that Jethro is the first to realise that Sky’s now syncing along while the Professor is speaking. The Doctor only realises it after he sees that Jethro looks alarmed so he looks and then he realises that Sky is syncing too.
    I do feel sorry for Jethro though. He looks like he’s having a panic attack or mental breakdown later on when the professor and his dad are trying to throw The Doctor out of the capsule. I mean, he does try to help them but I feel like he was being overwhelmed and pressured by his mum’s hysterics.

      Methyl was easily the most capable person in the room aside from the doctor. He kept his head until the end, and he was able to look at things reasonably done objectively, unlike his mother who is, in my opinion, the driving force behind the entity. Without her to shout at the men, they probably wouldn’t have tried to toss out the doctor.

    The only Doctor Who episode that I held off rewatching for years because it terrified my teenage self that much. Not just in scares, but by how utterly raw and disturbing it is.
    This is the one of the closest times the Doctor has come to being outright murdered and it came at the hands of humanity, the species which he protects and favours the most. His own intelligence and confidence proving to be his downfall for once. And as far as we know, the creature is probably still out there.
    Absolute masterpiece from Russell T Davies, IMO the scariest New Who has ever been.

    Hands down the best ever episodes of Doctor Who in my opinion.
    • You don’t ever see the Monster/Alien
    • The acting from Lesley Sharp is incredible and her stare is terrifying.
    •The simple idea of an episode based purely of human panic and what happens when people get panicked and scared
    •The whole mystery of the episode is what happens next.
    •The soundtrack in the background complements that atmosphere of the episode perfectly.
    •David Tennant’s acting is also incredible even when the monster/alien takes over his body

  • @kitkat2702
    @kitkat2702 3 года назад +24

    I get the feeling the Doctor could've easily been traumatized by this episode. I just say this bc sometimes in traumatic events, you're quite literally paralyzed with fear (or in the case of the midnight entity, being 'possessed' Ig, which isn't the same thing, I know) or unable to move at all. Then on top of that being forcibly grabbed by everybody in else in the cabin while he couldn't move...that would definetly mess with the Doctor's mind (or anyone's) to say the least.
    And then there was also some sense of the 'after effects' the experience or trauma implied by his convo with Donna at the end of the episode, something *residual* about his last lines--in telling Donna not to repeat what he said (bc it was still too terrifying/too close to joke about), and then the fact that he *repeats himself* "don't, don't" like the entity knocking on the door twice or just the fact that the tendency to repeat is still there after the experience.
    You almost get the feeling that if he could have said a single word as everybody was fixing to throw him out of the cabin, it would have been, "Don't," but of course he couldn't speak, or maybe it was what he would have said before the Hostess sacrificed herself, and maybe that's why they are the final words we hear from the Doctor in this episode (but this is just my opinion obviously)...
    Lol I know it's probably not that deep, I just think "Midnight" is really well done...Thanks for coming to my TedTalk

But in how quickly everyone turned and went on a witch hunt. A monster, and turning the humans into monsters through fear. We don't know what the creature would have done after absorbing the Doctor's words (thoughts? soul?), but that's the wonderful part.

Or at the very least, another one of its' species? Or like a cousin or something? They just give off the same vibe. They all enjoy a spot of mimicry, they all seem to come from nothingness (Midnight Entity came from the vacuum of space, Not-things came from the edge of the universe), and they all seem to be non-existent in some respect, but they want to exist, so they take a body (Midnight Entity is in the very literal sense here). Idk, but they seem very similar.

    Imo, this episode is a masterclass in horror done right. No jumpscares or other cheap ways to keep the viewer in suspense, it’s truly a scary scenario, given on how quickly the monster is to learn. Though I do believe the real “monster” in this episode isn’t the alien creature, rather it’s all of the other passengers, given how quick they were to turn on the Doctor to cast him out. Even my non-DW fan friends admire this episode. Incredibly well done.

      Yeah, the horror of this episode feels much more psychological in nature than pretty much anything else we've seen in the series. The creature repeating everything is creepy for sure, but what's truly terrifying is how the people on the shuttle react to it (and the fact that those people could really be any of us in a similar situation, afraid for our lives). It's chilling watching the Doctor struggle and ultimately completely lose control over the situation, when usually he can command a room with just a few words.
