Doctor Who 4x10 ("Midnight")

[moonlightrick]

Dude. Doctor Who kicked ass today. Episodes like these (and besides the obvious, long-reaching plots, companions, Rose, etc) are the reason I am going to miss RTD when Moffat takes over. And then we had that preview for the next episode. Seriously, none of you have any idea how excited I am for next Saturday

Ah, well, the alien--despite what Ten's constant talk about something "entirely new," I rather assumed that it was one of Midnight's unknown natives, considering how the group was talking, in the beginning, about how there was no history/life at all on Midnight before the pleasure company settled in. And if not something old, than a being that had been slowly evolving and finally making a grab at these newcomers--the flight was unlucky, going into new territory. But I suspect that the mystery was deliberately left unsolved, because the alien/possessor played on people's fears of the unknown and their reactions to the unnerving/strange in nervous situations; had they given a name, it might have made it less frightening, more susceptible to being controlled/faced. /2 cents theory.

I'm glad you're enjoying CitR, though I'm afraid Sanar doesn't really start softening to Kyp until ItM--and, really, you have to admit she has some good reasons, right? ;p Also, she's just...Sanar :P Krista's very amusing, too, though--if you want some of her backstory, I wrote a pre-CitR Krista short story here that you might enjoy, although it might be more meaningful once you've completed CitR, just for the sake of the Krista & Miko stuff.
