Midnight and the Aliens of Good and Evil


Doctor Who, S04 E10: Midnight

This week: the Doctor is under threat in one of the most chilling episodes yet.

This episode was good. Really, really good. In fact, it was one of the best episodes of the revived Who ever. And pretty much all of it took place in one small space, with hardly any special effects. Well done, Russell T Davies. Your self-penned episodes have hitherto not been among the very best of the series, but this was bloody brilliant.

Checking Out in the Library [Doctor Who]


Doctor Who, S04 E08: Silence in the Library

This is the first episode by Steven Moffat since the announcement that he is to be the showrunner when Russell T Davies steps down at the end of this series, and if we didn’t already know how awesomely perfect he is for this job, then this stellar episode should do the trick. Moffat is funny, he’s brilliantly imaginative, and he knows EXACTLY how to push a kid’s fear buttons. Also, he is the genius behind the glorious Press Gang, and hence can do no wrong (besides the generally crappy Coupling, but I like to pretend he didn’t write that).

Anyway, on with the recap.
