kalleah | Love me some RTD

Midnight scared me. And I loved it. This is what Russell T. Davies is capable of writing and I hope it bodes well for his skill with the next three episodes and then the specials for next year. Oh Rusty, I think I even forgive you for Dobby!Doctor after this episode.

My husband called it RTD's Twelve Angry Men, which is high praise from him. I remember seeing somewhere that it's Tennant's favorite movie, also.

He was utterly amazing in the episode -- the scenes where he was repeating were so wrenching for me. It was similar to but worlds better than his possession in 42, which he was able to fight. In this, he simply couldn't do anything except emote, and good grief, did he ever do that. The sheer betrayal of the people around him was horrible to watch -- he clearly enjoyed their company and would have done anything to help them, and they went so far into fear and groupthink as to turn on him. It's the worst human act in his eyes since LotTL and his revelation about the Toclafane, I think.

Can't wait for next week.
