I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

"The Empty Child" was similarly creepy, though in a slightly different way.
Same writer, not too surprisingly. I love the guy, but he is never EVER allowed in an elevator with me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Some of those two part episodes I think could have been edited down into single episodes. There's a lot of repetition in "Empty Child" (I forget if it's the front or back half of that two parter) and even though I love the double episode that comes right after "Blink" (the one with "Family of Blood") I believe that one of the things that makes "Blink" great is that it tells a complete story in one episode. There is not one wasted moment in it.

Hm, I think "The Empty Child" is when I gave up watching. I did catch "Blink" because people here raved about it, though, and it was fun. I think seeing it with ad breaks made it signficantly less nightmare-inducing, though.

I agree. I liked the Captain Jack stuff, of which there was more in the second episode, but things are always tighter in single-episode stories. Well, almost always.

If any fans of Uno, the beagle who won Westminster, are around, there's a fun video of him visiting the WGN radio studios at the bottom of this page.

The Empty Child is one of the 2 dr. who eps I caught, but I think I caught part 2 so it was a little confused. Not terrifying though.

oh man, when The Doctor says I sent him to his room. This is his room. I get chills. I'm getting chills right now just thinking about it. Now I'm all twitchy and glancing behind me as I type.

"Are you my Mummy?" spooked me. I know it was kind of calculated to do so, but still. Eeeee.

The Doctor Dances (part 2) isn't quite so scary, but The Empty Child is creepy as fuck.
