Doctor Who:
Midnight
By Russell T. Davies
“Just stop it, all of you. Stop
it, please. Now then, Sky. Are you Sky? Is Sky still in there? Mrs Silvestry?
You know exactly what I'm going to say. How are you doing that? Roast beef.
Bananas. The Medusa Cascade. Bang! Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble,
Tardis. Shamble bobble dibble dooble. Oh, Doctor, you're so handsome. Yes, I
am, thank you. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O. First she repeats,
then she catches up. What's the next stage?”
Well going into this episode the
first time it aired I wasn’t expecting much or expecting it to be that serious
considering the track record of the one who wrote it. Well I have to tell you this story, Midnight,
is one of the best Doctor Who stories to have aired since the show returned in
2005. Well it was definitely the best
one RTD has written for the show.
With that being said the acting
performances were superb as you could really get a sense of the tension and
strife each actor conveyed to make you believe what the character was really
feeling. Speaking of characters the
character of Sky was one of the creepiest villains that the new show has
produced. Lesly Sharp did a wonderful in
conveying the creepiness and adding paranoia into this story. What was really remarkable was how she was
able to say the lines at the same time as David Tennant and vice versa. That was amazing and mind blowing at times
listening to the two actors act those scenes out. I thought it was amazing to watch and find it
incredible every time I watch Midnight.
