You know it's a Doctor Who day when you check the tag and there will be posts like "This was soooo sooo good! Bombastic episode! Instant fave!" immediately followed by posts saying "This SUCKED SO BAD! WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!" Welcome to Doctor Who, babes.

very funny of doctor who to have a "don't trust those crazy rambling conspiracy theorists about our noble government institutions" plot line and then the institution is the shadowy morally dubious military organization with very little civilian oversight

two things can be true: this is a satisfying take down of disinformation profiteers who destroy society on purpose, and also casting UNIT as the victimized governmental agency is a bit weird

Oh thank god we see a companion talking about the PTSD that comes along with the type of travel involved with the Doctor.

whose godawful idea was it to make an episode where the government agency pointing guns at civilians and being explicitly compared to fascists are the good guys and the people protesting against said government are the bad guys in this political climate

Odd coincidence that cosmology almost always parallels the political system the author was living under.

You have a personal relationship with God?? Isn't that sort of problematic? I mean. Big power dynamic issue here. :/

The Great Wave off Kanawaga by Hokusai but make it with thread and micro mini. The finished size is the size of a business card to give you an idea.

Pattern by AlitonEmbroidery, who has patterns for more mini fine art that I'm eyeing

I’m gonna say it. The Well did not need to be a Midnight sequel.

Of course, there are similarities to Midnight: people turn on each other in the face of an entity that is semi-unknowable. But actually, that’s… about all this entity has in common with the one we saw in Midnight. The thing in The Well doesn’t imitate, it doesn’t learn, it doesn’t possess. But it does straight up murder people.

I hold a firm conviction that the Midnight entity should not kill. A big part of what’s so brilliant and so scary about Midnight is the fact that people are so terrified and distrusting that they’re ready to throw each other out the airlock out of pure fear, not even knowing if the entity actually means them harm. The humans were the monsters of Midnight, at least as much as the entity itself.

There’s a tragedy to the fact that they were willing to kill to stop this thing that hadn’t even materially hurt them, that maybe there was never any danger at all except that which they created themselves. But, though The Well shares those elements of fear and distrust, the entity we see there is undeniably a clear and present danger to life. It’s a slightly different type of horror, and one that doesn’t quite fit with this being the same entity we saw in Midnight.
