For the past two months, I've been working on the same Doctor Who picspam. You would think coming up with my five episodes would be a piece of cake, but my mind just refuses to list. I'll watch an episode then want to replace one episode with that one. Or I'll think "Maybe I don't like this episode as much as I believe I do." But finally-happily-I

"Midnight" is one of those episodes that I really, really enjoyed, but I just can't re-watch it. The whole cabin fever tone makes me feel so uncomfortable. That's not to say that it wasn't a great episode, because it was, I just can't watch it too many times. Does that make sense? I'm definitely with you in that I found it so much scarier than "Blink." While "The Unicorn and the Wasp" wouldn't be in my top five, that episode is just so much fun. I got some family members to finally watch Who after that episode, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it.
Basically, A+ choices. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts. They tend to mirror my own. I think I might actually try my hand at doing this sometime in the future, maybe after series five ends, because I have a feeling an episode may creep into that list.

I understand what you mean. I honestly only watched "Midnight" three or four times since it first aired where I've seen say "Love and Monsters" about five or six, and I despise that I episode. I have to be in the right mood to watch Midnight, and it cannot be late at night. Everything uncomfortable about that episode is increased tenfold. I just cannot do it. That's definitely why it's on my list. "The Unicorn and the Wasp" is a perfect episode to introduce Doctor Who to people! It shows what it can do when the program's being light-hearted. It shows what it can do when the program's being slightly depressing. It's definitely a well-rounded episode. I wish we had more episodes like that, truth be told. While I enjoy being emotionally drained, a little silliness does the heart good.
I hope you do! I love reading reading your thoughts as well. It's really nice finding a small group in fandom who has the same ideas over Who. I don't know what I would do without you and glassbomb and the rest of my friend list. The Who fandom can be so serious and picky about the craziest things!
