Re: Can somebody explain the appeal of "Midnight" to me?

Blink bores the hell out of me. I just feel like it would be too easy to put an end to the angels. (Get a large group, have half the group watch the angels, have the other half move the angels so that they're staring at each other. Done. Or what about blowing them up? Would that work? I'm not sure, but I would definitely move them so they were facing each other.)

Midnight, on the other hand, interested me because it's never explained what it is or where it came from, if it was a single creature or if there were more of them on the planet, or if it's gone. You never saw it and that's a bit more creepy to me because if you can't see it and you don't know anything about it, you have no way of defending yourself or making peace with it. To me, it's about how the fear of the unknown is the most constant fear we have throughout time and why knowledge is so important.

(Ok, I also like it because Colin Morgan is fantastic. If I didn't know it was him, I wouldn't recognize him for a long time. Every role I've seen him in, he transforms. Watch Parked and then a Merlin episode and it's like, "How the fuck are these two characters played by the same guy?!" their walks are different, their intonation/speech pattern - even ignoring the accents - change, the way he stands as Merlin is different than the way he stands as Cathal. /ok, Colin Morgan praise stopping for now. Sorry!)

There is a fantastic fic where Donna, Martha, Mickey and Sean team up, and Donna has a wonderfully practical solution to the problem of the Angels.

Eh, that's assuming they can be broken like a regular statue. Considering they're also super strong, I'm not so sure.

Ditto to everything you said about the episode - but an extra 'Hell Yeah' for Colin Morgan. I actually hadn't watched Merlin until just after it ended, so I didn't know him from anything else when I first saw Midnight. First time I watched I was entranced by his character most of all. It's this thing he does when he's crying, especially, that's just so raw and real... Once I found out that HE was the guy in Merlin ... I was like 'Okay, gonna cave on watching that now!'
