Somehow I just knew you would choose this one. ;) As I have told you this episode scares me to death and I have only watched it once and never watched it again. I like the first bit and the last but everything inbetween is just to much for me.
You know you are right I usually write happy endings as well in my fanfictions. It is my nature but in this one nobody wins.
I'm still working on Midnight but I agree that it's one of the best episodes of NuWho out there. At first I wasn't entirely impressed, probably because it was before my official Who beginnings (I watched it as an episode out of no where), and each time I view it the episode gets better and better. It definitely has dark undertones and, for once, the Doctor really has no way out. No fob watch, no Martha, no companion, just himself, a monster you never seen (still the creepiest form of cinema you can do, imho), and a bunch of people who portray the worst of us: the ones who are racked by fear. Brilliant

Whilst I can see that Blink is an incredibly well-crafted episode, it's never been at - or close to - the top of my "top 10" list. It's great, but on rewatching, it's just a little bit too clever, a little bit too look at me - aren't I brilliant?!.
I've said this elsewhere, but I think it bears repeating because I think it kind of encapsulates one of the main differences between RTD's DW and Moff's.

Blink scares my kids - Midnight scares me.
