I've never wanted to thwack two heads together in my entire life.

My preconceived notions were thankfully wrong. It gave me a little bit of hope that togetherness isn't completely dead and we're not as divided as I thought.

But then two lads were sniggering and making horrible faces right behind her back just for her existence.

It's basically the Cloverfield Paradox of Doctor Who

Alas, we now have a sequel that makes something scary not scary (the monster now has rules?) with a super overblown OST that ruins most of the tension and a bunch of 2D side characters that are just there to die.

Flinging people across the room still isn't scary. Please stop trying.

What bits did you have in mind?

A sense of mystery and wonder is what makes this show stand out above the rest, and stripping that away piece by piece just so people will talk about it momentarily online is just stupid and lazy.

I just hate the idea that the writers didn't have the confidence to make this a completely new mysterious villain and they had to tack on something pre-existing just in case no one was interested. This story DID NOT need a "HeY rEmEmBeR thIS???"

STILL SPOILERS: Like, I know Midnight is one of the most celebrated stories (and with great reason), but who TF asked for a sequel?! I know it's a bit of a weird comparison, but it's like making a sequel to Taxi Driver or the Mona Lisa. Leave it alone, it was perfect and it doesn't need extra.
