tardis_stowaway: TARDIS under a starry sky and dark tree (specs diagonal)
Note to self:  watching Midnight just before bed is a Very Bad Idea.  Even when it's a rewatch and the outcome is known, that is still a seriously terrifying episode.  I was struck by the highly effective use of music and sound to build the dread.  The part where the entity is moving around and knocking* on the outside of the shuttle creeps me the hell out, but the portrait of ordinary people teetering on the edge of becoming monsters is scarier yet.  The unresolved ending (what WAS that thing?  is it still out there?  will it stay out there and only out there?) is the perfect icing on the scarycake.  These are not new observations, but I felt the need to point them out.  I am going to sleep now, hoping that my dreams can remain uninfluenced by my poor choice of bedtime viewing.

*Speaking of knocking, I want it to be time for more Doctor Who already!  *taps foot impatiently four times*
