I wanted the shadows to move or creep more. They didn't really do much although I did love the episode. Hopefully they'll be worse next week.

I have to agree with DeepGirl though about her spoiler. Disturbing indeed on many levels.

I still look cautiously at statues or make some funny comment that no one else gets. Just using humour to hide my fear.

Humph! The site ate my last post!

Iwas trying to agree with Hobleit that Steve Moffat does do scary very well.

Just pity those poor parents. There will be many a cry of "Mommmy! There's a strange shadow in my room!" and adding more nightlights will just make things worse!

For me, the best part had to be (spoiler)

I must say that I tend to think "gosh, that's scary" rather than actually feel scared - probably between the aforementioned power-cut during Dr Who incidents in the 70s and walking back alone in the dark after seeing Aliens in the 80s my scare circuits got burned out. Most modern horror seems more pukeworthy than scary.

However, back in the day even the Dr Who title music had me diving behind the sofa (although that was the proper and well spooky Delia Derbyshire title music - not the overcooked semi-orchestral mush of today).

Fortunately, 'Who is pretty good at throwing in more disturbing "layers" to target the older and more cynical viewers, and one of the best at that trick is Stephen Moff...

Just to say...my husband owns a gas-mask (work-related) and the bugger put it on and jumped out of a dark room at me a while back.

Not a court in the world would convict you for beating him to death.

A fantastic conclusion to the story and this is the guy who will be in charge of the show in 2010 (when the next series starts).

Just to say i thought that the whole River Song 'i know him, but he doesn't know me' thing was an excellant idea, plus the chemistry between David Tennant and Alex Kingston (who played River Song, and who apparently used to be in ER as well) was just great, i hope that with Moffat soon taking the helm we might see a return of that character .
On a different note, last saturdays episode 'Midnight'....

Select to view spoiler:

An unusual episode i thought, quite claustrophobic and definately scary. It reminded me a bit of something i saw once about witch trials, where the mob become so convinced that they saw something evil or supernatural even though they didn't and the hysteria lead them to do attrocious things (such as throwing people out the air lock). If anything i think that the human characters, particularly the married couple, came off as being more evil than whatever it was that was possessing Sky. After all if it wasn't for their fear and stupidity the situation could have been controlled.

Any thoughts?
Oh, by the way the episode title for the penultimate episode of this series, which previous been kept secret because it 'gives to much away', has been revealed.

The Stolen Earth

I may wear brown, but theres a little purple mixed in there too.

Yes I really liked Midnight. Something different and very creepy. Confidential gave some insights into the episode.....

Select to view spoiler:

Yes the female of the married couple was supposed to be the most evil one there. Reminded me of the religious woman in The Mist (Stephen King film).
Her son was the one who was on the Doctors side but was bullied into turning against him. The Prof was the one who held his firm beliefs and wouldn't accept anything else. The Profs assistant acted out of pure fear.
And of course the Hostess was right all along - they should have just thrown her out at the beginning.
A very well done episode that must have been tough to shoot.

Apparently it's only the second time in Who history that the Doc has been companionless for a story (the other being Tom Baker in The Deadly Assassin).

Looking forward to the last three episodes. Should be great.

Ok, well if the opening shot from "Turn Left" wasn't Firefly-inspired then I'm an Ood's grandmother.

Only concern is how these dark psychological stories are going to go down with the toy-buying, ratings swelling kiddie demographic.

They could have done with more material like this in Torchwood, instead of relying on metrosexual tonsil tennis and naughty words.
