#doctor who s4e10

[piwo-zero]

Just rewatched midnight. I forgot how good this episode is.

The doctor is known for beliving in humanity and hoping people will always make the right choice in the end. And that belief is crushed here. THAT'S the scary part. The thing itself is fucking creepy, of course it is, but what makes this episode so frightening is the panic. The worst comes out of people when they are scared and the setting of this episode has it all to scare someone: small, almost claustrophobic space, middle of nowhere (and the said nowhere is deadly), weird fucking thing that turns up by smashing into the shuttle and killing someone. So what does the doctor do? He acts hopeful. He is kinda fascinated by what happened. He wants to help. But the people in the shuttle decide that they should kill the thing, so he does what? He believes they won't really do it, will they? AND you can see the surprise, hurt and horror in his eyes when he can't talk them out of it. AND you start to feel unsafe BECAUSE of it. The doctor loses control and the viewer feels it. Doctor knows those people are capable of killing him - he's totally at their mercy and they've just dissappointed him.

This epiosode explores human flaws and the psychology of fear and that's what makes it scary. people. people are the scariest part of midnight

Doctor Who | S4E10 | Midnight

[marlenacantswim]

favorite scene from Russell T. Davies's The Second Coming (2003) has gotta be when the Ninth Doctor (who is, in fact, the son of god) starts eating pasketti in front of the unwitting host from s4e10 "Midnight" and she immediately breaks down.

I HAVE A SHITTY MEMORY

but so real so true <3 you are doctor who

YOUR FUCKING QUEUE TAG IS A MIDNIGHT REFERENCE?

Like I saw the tag and I was like ha I wonder if this is a Doctor Who blog (I follow one Doctor Who blog) and lo and behold it's you

YEAH MAN YOU HWLPED ME COME UP WITH IT??

turns out i am every doctor who blog is actually just Me

[bite-risk]

the doctor who S4E10 emo guy

[knowlessman]

idfk knowless got a pokemon game and then got pinkeye edition, bhna s4e10-14

oh yeah it's the plague doctor faction, with the tiefling kid

"you need to heal up so I can fight you to the death properly!" okay so this punchy guy wandered in from dbz then

yup. lockdown got redshirted -- so vampire girl can create clothes with her disguises, but because this writer is the way he is, that doesn't mean she can just transform her clothes when she morphs? wheretf did she put them, then? also aizawa fell for that ruse for like 0.5 seconds longer than he should've -- also also I have a feeling deku isn't gonna get the news that she infiltrated a school to whoever needs to know in time (or maybe that was revealed to them ages ago? I forget)

handface: "no, I don't know how to play chess. take your fancy-pants stradgedy and shove it, I do what I want"

"I can only read the future once a day, but luckily I'm also Batman"

"but we don't wanna work for the yakuza!" "we're gonna double-cross 'em." "on it!" he probably coulda just said "deku will be there" and the token protagonist-obsessed knife-licker would've shown up in a plague mask

(twice and vampire girl got hypnotized into saying how their abilities work) …wait, "my clothes transform with me, but they overlap with stuff because I purposefully wear clothes that sabotage my own ability just so I have to take them off?" …the fuck

mr zone of truth keeps holding his gun by the trigger. idjit's gonna shoot his own kidney out any moment -- sidenote, I imagine this confession guy's quirk is very popular in fanfic

"ultimate move: phantom threat!" you can't fool me, subtitles, I know what I heard 'XD it's jojo all over again

maybe don't scream your target's name when making a surprise attack tho? -- running time? you got the girl, I'm pretty sure chisaki's quirk is touch range… run away time?

…togata's not the main character tho. they ain't gonna let him solo this. …probably. -- ayup. hella move on the yakuza's part, tho - oh wait no, the dart probably wouldn't have erased eri's quirk, that's just her own quirk. he just guessed that togata wouldn't realize it wasn't a bullet, I guess. or that he wouldn't realize that it probably (?) wouldn't have any effect on eri.

…ngl, they did have me going for a second. I wasn't sure whether togata had somehow avoided the effects of the dart, or was gonna just Karate Kid it and beat chisaki to a pulp without powers, or what

goddamn after-credits scenes. -- oh wait so the after-credits bit here was just preview or something. well, fucked if I know

I still say Nighteye's future sight shouldn't make him able to dodge perfectly since it doesn't give him the superhuman speed to match his opponent's. -- …and there it is.

oh right, he ate the confession guy. …huh.

"then who was the deku we just saw" I was wondering how he got up there that fast. -- "…how DID we, kronk?" "well, you got me. I guess we copied that other teammate of ours and used his pokeball quirk to dig our way out" - wait a minute holy shit this is a lot of quirk copying going on. both these two can do it, Ditto from Class B can do it, it's a whole subgenre of superpower, huh

…subtitles, tiefling kid has been in the opening and outro for this whole arc. she's the macguffin of the whole thing. I know who Eri is.

"I have to go back…" eri's homura. calling it. we're about to re:zero this whole arc.

nighteye you have rock where most of your torso is sposed to be and an arm off, how in fuck are you still talking

"eri rewinds humans, so I just gotta keep taking damage to balance it out so I don't overheal and turn into a monkey!" …okay??? I guess??? -- I was just thinking how deku's power is kind of like if saitama's body wasn't immune to damage

you, sir, are a resident evil boss

hehe deku's hair kinda makes him look like a Bluper Saiyan here

(chisaki's backstory) "that girl is a person. does that mean nothing to you?" and I'm sure you, a mob boss, would be saying that even if she weren't your granddaughter

"midoriya… he changed the future…" actually I'm pretty sure that was little miss groundhog day who did that. -- altho, I guess it'd be a little much to assume that her ability actually fucks with the time continuum or whatnot, given that it seems that it just reverts bodies to earlier versions of themselves. it is pretty wonky that the first thing it does is healing and the second thing it does is erase quirks tho, rather than de-aging, and we haven't actually seen if it has any middle grounds (like other kinds of de-evolution) between that and complete annihilation.

(seer's gone) huh. …well, he did have a big ol' spike replacing most of his internal organs. maybe eri coulda done something, but tbf she can neither steer nor control what she does, so (according to chisaki) she'd probably have just turned him into a monkey anyway

[magicalqueersarah]

Doctor Who S4E10 is scary
