favorite word?

poison

have you ever accidentally asked somebody about their favourite word twice?

Nope! I have never doubled upped on asking someone literally ever. There has not been a time where I asked someone their favorite word on like five separate occasions, because I would simply never let that happen!

No matter how good or bad Doctor Who is ever gonna get again, there will never be an episode better than series 4 episode 10: "Midnight". It's the episodification of perfection: It has perfect pacing, an amazing score that's really creating a scary atmosphere and extreme tension, the acting is fantastic - especially from David Tennant who's perfectly portraying the Doctor's fear and powerlessness, increasing the tension even further during the climax, and Lesley Sharp who not only proves impressive skills by having had to memorise everyone's lines and speak them perfectly synchronised but who also managed to give the creature this uncanny eeriness which is further amplified by the fantastic sound mix.

I love how not a single character is portrayed as bad or evil, just scared and irrational. And at the same time, while some characters - especially Jethro and Dee Dee - are clearly more likeable than others - Jethro's parents and the professor - no character is constantly right and everyone makes decisions or says things that the more knowledgeable audience probably disagrees with. "Midnight" isn't about a morally wrong villain, it's a comment on human nature and how under the right circumstances the most ordinary people are capable of extreme and immoral behaviour. It's basically lord of the flies but way better!

I could keep rambling about the cinematography and the amazing ending that really makes you feel the trauma the Doctor has experienced on this adventure and the beautiful design of the planet and so much more because really everything is perfect about this episode and I love it so! so! much! I've watched "Midnight" more often than any other Doctor Who episode and yet I still can't get myself to look away from the screen for a single second whenever I rewatch it because - again - it is the perfect episode!

tl;dr: I love Doctor Who series 4 episode 10 "Midnight" because it's the most perfect episode of all perfect episodes ever no I'm not exaggerating
