Liveblog Doctor Who S04E10 Midnight by Russell T Davies

I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. I am publishing a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.

This episode is the tenth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called Midnight. From the site: The Doctor is trapped, powerless and terrified, on the planet Midnight, as the knocking on the wall begins…

* Sapphire Waterfall? Antigravity restaurant with bibs?
* What could possibly go wrong? Uh huh.
* DUDE! Look at all that complimentary stuff! I can’t even get a drink refill most of the time.
* Wow, what a lovely pair they are, he introduces himself but she’s bothering him? Hm.
* Oh goody. I was worried there was no emo in the future.
* What is she singing? I’m guessing retro 60’s TV.
* If I were on that flight I’d kill someone and it wouldn’t take long.
* We’ll have to talk to each other? You know the Doctor LOVES that! Awesome.
* Oh gee, he mostly has you do his grunt work. Imagine that!
* I hope she does find Poosh or whatever it is.
* She needed her space? Interesting it’s treated as no big deal. I mean it should be but it usually isn’t.
* Nobody ever there ever? I call shenanigans!
* Way to sashay up front Doctor! Woohoo!
* I’m a Doctor I’m very clever. Heee!
* Hi Claude! Hi Driver Joe!
* Let’s look outside? OK let’s see it!
* Poisoned by the sun? I have a hard time believing that…
* We’re the first? Cool. Worked out by computer though? Oh I don’t think that was random…
* Was there really something to see? I watched it twice and couldn’t tell.
* Completely unnecessary? She’s all worked up.
* She knows about the engines? Interesting.
* Oh look hysteria! Fabulous! Awful woman, that mother.
* WTF was that!?
* I am really over the Professor. It is impossible for someone to be outside! Someone maybe but not someTHING. Tard.
* Ooh! Knocking three times!
* Cripes, two of the women on this trip are complete basket cases. This is why the Doctor should REALLY be travelling with me. I wouldn’t stay and sunbathe!
* And why isn’t Donna in this episode anyway?
* It’s coming for me? She said she’d get me?
* Are we going to find out what it is? It screwed up the ship well and truly!
* Yikes! Why is there no front of the ship?
* STFU Professor! It can TOO be gone!
* Oh she’s not quite right is she? But how did it get in if nothing really opened?
* Good eye Jethro! I hope they pay more attention to you later.
* Oh that copying is freaking me out!
* Yikes! At the same time was even weirder!
* Why would he bring up the Medusa Cascade and list all his “new” companions?
* shamble bobble dibble doodle (:
* Creeeeeeeeepy!
* Mrs Kane SHUT UP!!! You basket case!
* Just stop looking at her too, that certainly isn’t helping.
* Goblin Men?
* There is no it? Oh really?
* At least Jethro is trying to reason it out. Good!
* We should throw her out? Oh good you horrible judgmental khaki wearing JACKASS!
* Yes they could murder her, Doctor. They’re no better.
* Oh look how I was right that all humans would do is kill the new one.
* Now turn on the Doctor, brilliant! What a good idea, the one reasonably calm person here and you turn on him.
* At least he is smart enough to know not to tell them who he really is.
* Sure, toss out the one calm person! Jeez.
* She’s ahead now. oh goody.
* She’s traded him somehow. This isn’t right. It took him somehow and now he’s the one stuck but she can move again.
* She took him and yet she’s still the evil one! How did that happen?
* She’s safe! She wasn’t but now she is but just STFU Mrs Kane!
* Oh whenever you decide Jethro agrees with you his opinion counts eh?
* She is TOTALLY preying on him!
* This is miserable for him!
* You go DeeDee!
* She’s the voice! Of course she is!
* I saw it with my own eyes? YOU DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING!
* Look at the smile! You can tell she’s doing it.
* I hate Mrs Kane!
* Did the Doctor catch his foot or was that just coincidence?
* HELP HIM STAY JETHRO!
* FINALLY someone saw through it.
* And it’s gone. Poor Doctor!
* Poor Hostess! She didn’t want to do that. Good for her but she sacrificed herself for a bunch of ingrates.
* I said it was her? Hit her in the face immediately! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!
* So what was it?
* No really, what?
* What was the Hostess’ name? Nobody knows?
* Tell them, it won’t REALLY help will it? I mean honestly!

* I know I saw Rose calling for him on the video screen behind him. AGAIN. I know I saw her on the Sontaran one too. FREAKY!!!!!! What does she want or need and how is she doing it?
* What does Rose want? If she needs him so then why did she disappear at the beginning of the season?
* What is it they’re setting up? Why does she keep popping up like this?

I missed Donna, I really didn’t notice how much I liked them together until I had to do without her. But the moments of her laying poolside (?) and seeming completely adjusted were awesome. Not a bad episode, all things considered.
