you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time
Realised I never posted these and I actually am proud of some of 'em.
I don't know how to word this but
Because Aliss is deaf she never knows what's going on directly behind her
I'm making an assumption but i would guess that she hates people being behind her because of this
The monster means that people can't go behind her
Although the monster was terrifying and evil, it was predictable, so Aliss knew it wouldn't hurt her while it was behind her
I wondered why she didn't immediately tell the doctor why there was something behind her and why she was willing to take it back to her planet and her daughter
But maybe she subconsciously wanted to take the monster back with her because it would ensure that people didn't go behind her
My thought process on a lot of days:
"I've had a shit day I should watch something that will make me feel better. I know, I'll watch a show where every character is constantly stressed and miserable, the main character is a cunt with anger issues and questionable morals, and every episode contains a disaster that is pretty much never resolved
The point of midnight was in demonstrating the ease with which fascism takes hold. The scariest thing was not the possession itself, but other people committing atrocities of their own free will (similar to my favorite scary scene in all of who — choosing the 10% from Torchwood: Children of Earth).
For a short time it seems like the episode is going that route, creating tension between Troop 1 and the Doctor and the squad piling on Aliss. Nevertheless, it quickly abandons it in favor of throwing people à la underwhelming episodes of an arrowverse show.
Having a physical solution to the Midnight entity feels antithetical to the original concept. Forcing the fascist snake to attack itself could be a profound metaphor if the rest of the episode wasn't so literal and the metaphor made even a drop of sense. I think the solution to the episode's monster should be a bit tethered to its real-life counterpart instead of "it's weak to plant-based attacks".
The episode has Aliss know what's happening, withholding the information until later and it doesn't comment on it AT ALL, neither by the squad, the Doctor or Aliss herself. An obvious beat in a better story, this is just skipped. One would argue it's in the subtext, but given RTD2's record so far, I wouldn't rely on it too much.
Can someone please explain to me how I get rid of the ai overview that Google insists on giving me, but in a way that a particularly stupid 5 year old would understand

On a completly unrelated note, does anyone know where I can get a pet camel

I absolutely despise Conrad but I think that part of the reason why I hate him is because he wasn't completely wrong
Doctor Who: the only show bold enough to ask "what if someone was a pacifist, but they were really, really, really bad at it?"
