Doctor Who’s New Midnight Sequel FIXES a Classic Mystery—But Makes a Major Plot Hole Bigger!
As a passionate movie buff, I must say that the heart of “The Well” revolves around the reappearance of the monster that Ten previously encountered in “Midnight.” This enigmatic being, without a name, has undergone quite a transformation over the 400,000 years since its last encounter with the Doctor. Consequently, Ncuti Gatwa’s portrayal of the Time Lord finds him as powerless as Tennant was during that earlier encounter. It’s no shock, given the villain’s return isn’t the only change over these years. The creature’s homeworld, now known as Planet 6767, bears little resemblance to its previous identity as Midnight, creating a plot conundrum.
