Ah well, nine episodes without a clunker is a good count. Then we have 'MIdnight' which is decidedly average if I'm being kind. The setting is crap, the cast is bleh, the central 'monster' concept is shit and the whole episode basically comes down to people repeating what other people are saying and a few shots of a pretty crystalline landscape. It's probably more jarring as it comes so soon after a series of particularly good episodes, but whatever the reason, there is simply no excuse for putting a story like this through, especially if you, as the outgoing head-writer commission yourself to write the worst story of the season.
The best part about the whole story was the 'coming next week' segment which promises the beginning of the end of season high-gears shenanigans and the return of La Piper.
Damnit Russell, it was going so well. 'Midnight' my behind.
