I Think The Main Reason I'm A Bit Let Down About The Well's Monster Reveal Is That Midnight Wasn't So

I think the main reason I'm a bit let down about the well's monster reveal is that midnight wasn't so much a monster-of-the-week episode than it was a study on human behaviour, especially in high-stress environments.

the well had it's own story to tell. in fact, I really enjoyed it, especially how it incorporated a deaf character into the narrative and explored her isolation when people turned her back on her, disallowing her the ability to lip read or sign. the fact that the monster on her own back would sooner kill if she was to do the same thing speaks volumes, it was a really poignant message.

in fact, it was such a poignant message that I sort of fail to understand why we needed the story to have any connection to midnight at all. the monster worked in such a different way from midnight that it really wouldn't have been noticeable if they took out the parts that tied the episodes together.

midnight stood strong as a stand-alone, it didn't need any further examination or lore because it was never about the monster to begin with. adding any depth to that doesn't improve upon the story, it just waters it down.

in short, I really liked the themes of this episode, I just think it would have worked better with its own monster, instead of borrowing from one that needed no further development.

I know I've talked about this before, but I love the idea of the doctor and the master regenerating together in mysterious circumstances, and having the audience be kept in the dark about which one's which for an episode or three

וואו קיבלתי את כוח 12 באירוע לבני ובנות מצווה בעבודה של אבא שלי והייתי כזה: מה אתם מנסים להכריח אותי להיות דתיה?

אז תרמתי את הספר ושכחתי מקיומו עד לרגע הזה עכשיו

כשהייתי בחטיבה נסעתי לקאמפ אמריקאי ונדהמתי לגלות שלא הייתה חובה להיות עם כובע או קרם הגנה, כל יום בצהריים הלכנו לבריכה בשמש, וחצי מהבנות שהיו איתי בחדר נשרפו כל כך שהן לא יכלו לישון וכל העור שלהן התקלף. וזה היה במקום שלא היה בו המון שמש (ירד גשם!!! באוגוסט!!!) פשוט היינו בחוץ כל היום. אז אני חושבת שבסך הכול התוכנית הזאת והחינוך להגנה בשמש בארץ טוב

I'm low-key studying ceramics (if I keep going like this, I'll have a ceramic degree in 30 years. So really low-key. 3 hours a week) so the ceramics wait for me in a damp, warm bag for a week. Naturally I have seen more mold than in all of my like combined, and I now know there are different smells to different molds. I mainly interact with white fluffy mold and green flat mold, and the green one smells like the first rain of the year. Amazing. The white one is disgusting and I hate it (even though it's really nice to touch). So I wonder if you can also taste the difference.

One of the bummers of being a super taster is how Big mold tastes. And because I can taste it before it’s actually sprouting I’m often disbelieved. Like, sorry restaurant. I know I’ve gotten this sandwich before and I know your cucumber is usually fresh, but today it’s moldy. I understand you can’t see the mold. But I swear. It’s there.

Tonight we had hot dogs and we picked up the buns today. Unfortunately neither of us realized the best by date was also today. The first bun I had was fine but I hit corruption midway down the second bun. I just ate the hotdog bun less, but we had to scrap the rest of the bag.
