Alright everyone, this is it - the final recap of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon. Tonight, we finish up with a story from the new series, believe it or not - the episode Midnight, which featured David Troughton in a supporting role, but one I'd say he did well with

Eee! Congrats on the completion of your degree in Two-ology! :D It's been fun seeing your recaps, especially as I've been working on my own rewatch. I hope you won't mind getting random comments from me on your past entries, as I've now just made it to about the beginning of your rewatch. (Just finished The War Machines last night and hopefully on to The Smugglers this evening!)

...this is a rather . . . well, disturbing story on some levels. It's extremely disconcerting to see how easily such a small group of humans could resort to murder & basic savagery & how fast they turn on the Doctor, even when he's trying to help & keep everyone calm...
This is what drew me into this episode. I think the direction in this story is rather fantastic. It's so well-paced and structured in that you see each moment when the entire mood changes.

Interesting, your comparison with Midnight and Edge of Destruction. They're both creepy, in their own ways. Not sure if it's just me, but Edge of Destruction always felt Twilight Zone-esque... I really liked EofD and wish that the Classic series had more episodes like it.

And I had no idea that it was David Troughton guest-staring in this episode! Sometimes I'm so clueless! I may have to check it out again, just to see him.

♥ Congrats on finishing your rewatch! I hope as you watch new serials, you'll post about them too, even if (as nentari said) your posts aren't as extensive as full-out recaps!

Thankyou! I've loved how you've also been doing a rewatch as well - it's been a summer of rewatch-athons! :D & I totally won't mind random comments to my recaps! I'll try & answer all of them, naturally. :D

I have to admit it, I did like it a lot more the second time - this time - I watched it than I did the first. I agree that the direction is really good for this story. :D

& yes, David was indeed in this story! I couldn't believe it the first time I found out. :D He's pretty good in it!

Thankyou again! & I will, but it won't be as interesting as my recaps, I think. :P
