The whole episode should have been people trapped under the rubble, as those were the scenes that were actually good.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Matt - when was it ever in doubt that Aeryn Sun is far, far more kickass then Teyla?

when was it ever in doubt that Aeryn Sun is far, far more kickass then Teyla?
not Matt, but while this is true, it didn't stop me from immediately thinking of Aeryn giving birth.

So, she gave birth?
(Finally.)
I hope when I get to see "Midnight" on the tv - it will prove to be as intense as the youtube version hinted. Also, whatserface from Afterlife was an excellent guest star. Kind of cool to have a Tardis and Companion light episode.

I felt like Jilli at the beginning of the episode. The hostess said hello and I thought "I WANT that lip colour!"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"Midnight" was seriously intense. I think that's about as helpless as I've seen the Doctor, even before the transference (i.e. the situation having gotten away from him).
Nice shout out to bottle episodes of all stripes (the shuttlecraft episode which was Spock's first command comes to mind), and love (in a saddened way) that no one knew the flight attendant's name.

That's one of the hardest episodes of television to watch. It's as creepy as Blink, but in a totally "you can see it coming" way rather than "don't turn your back" way.

Huh--the Professor in "Midnight" was played by David Troughton, the son of Patrick Troughton, Doctor #2. Much taller than his dad, and IIRC, a big director of episodic Brit TV.

In general the Doctor does not seem to handle possession well. One of variety of monster where "I'm the thing the monsters are afraid of" does not seem to apply.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
- Loved* this episode of Dr. Who--the weeping Doctor and the shaken Doctor at the end when Donna repeats molto benne (sp?) back to him? Yikes.
SGA: So who was that guy who helped them escape the Hive ship? And I suppose it was all meaningful and shit that Teyla's "I knew you would come for me" words were the same IRL as in John's hallucination. I just don't buy most of her lines, so it left me pretty cold.
