Can’t help but think that RTD wanted to return to his darker classics, but in the process of making a Midnight sequel, he accidentally made one for Turn Left (ā€œThere’s something on your backā€)

Was he hot? Sorry I just don’t see it. He was a great actor though.

I dont feel that at all. I think that Midnight was very much present in the whole script.

It did remind me of that whole gimmick.

I also noticed the line, ā€œfive miles deepā€¦ā€ which, I believe, was a rumoured title at one stage.

I feel disappointed we didn’t hear from the writer on Unleashed at all. They didn’t really even mention her, it was all ā€œRTD’s writingā€

Oh very. When his casting was announced I stalked his insta :sob:

I don’t watch Unleashed, but this is super disappointing.

We all like different things. I think that I thought the rest of the cast was hotter then him. But that is just me :joy:

As a Midnight sequel in terms of the returning monster, I could take it or leave it. As a Midnight sequel in terms of its core ideas (paranoia and mob mentality will destroy us), it makes perfect sense to me. Like, any niggles I had about the lore specifics fell short of just how much I felt this story.

If by the other cast you meant Ncuti I’d agree lol.

Ncuti crying as the Doctor ā€˜saw’ the Entity would’ve hit a damn site harder if he didn’t cry every week. Just saying.

Didn’t bother me this time, mostly because it was more tears of terror and fear than anything and I felt that

Also, maybe it’s because of somewhat similar imagery, but it reminded me a bit of Vincent And The Doctor and its rearview mirror identify-this-monster gadget. Like… things like this only become obvious when we look back on them; that’s the vibe I got from it.

Great story in its own right, I rate it highly for that, but I did feel it shouldn’t really be a Midnight sequel. It really didn’t have that vibe for me. Midnight scared the doctor, it broke his faith in humanity for a bit there. I think if this leaned more into the soldiers really trying to kill Aliss, then it would have struck that nerve properly.

I disagree. Then again, people complaining about him crying has ruined moments where he cries for me which is annoying.
