New Doctor Who episode “The Well” marks a massive return for the 2008 classic “Midnight”. The episode takes place hundreds of thousands of years after the original and introduces a familiar foe with an even more sinister twist. While the Doctor’s quest to rescue Belinda Chandra may seem like an ordinary mission, it leads him to the infamous dead world of Midnight, where he first encountered a deadly alien entity in 2008.
The creature from “Midnight” returns with a vengeance, having spent centuries perfecting its modus operandi. This time around, it’s not just possessing victims – it can also physically attack and whisper poisonous words into their ears. The Doctor’s past encounter has clearly had an impact on the creature’s evolution, leading to a more sinister and adaptable threat.
As the episode progresses, we see glimpses of the Doctor’s previous adventures with this monster, including the doomed coach tour in 2008 where Sky Silvestry became possessed by the entity. While some may have thought they could outsmart it, the creature always finds a way to escape.
The final scene leaves us wondering if surviving soldier Mo Gilliben has taken an unwanted guest back to her ship, setting the stage for a potential sequel or spin-off. The return of this classic villain in “The Well” serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Doctor Who and its iconic monsters.
