dbskylerSaw "Midnight" last night: "Midnight" was probably the most original Doctor Who story I've ever seen -- definitely a break from the typical formula, but still Doctor Who, and very, very good. The Doctor was vulnerable being alone in this one, and all his usual strengths were turned against him -- the fact that he knows more than others, the fact that he's not human, his tendency to take charge, and above all, his voice, his ability to talk. Just great, and the mob psychology was fantastic and very believable. I also liked how the script pointed out the Doctor's flaws as well as his strengths, specifically his tendency to be a little arrogant and to enjoy when things go wrong. I haven't always liked RTD's scripts -- he can go way over the top, like in "Voyage of the Damned" -- but when he gets it right, he really gets it right.
In other news, my latest story on Teaspoon is still a dismal flop. Oh well, it was a bit of an experiment anyway -- more about trying that style of story again, and less about really wanting to write the story itself -- and that's probably the problem, actually. I'm very very tempted to delete it, although it did get two people favoriting it even though it doesn't have any reviews. Well, maybe I'll let it go a few more days and see what happens first.
