A second set of eyes provided by the reviewer clears up misconceptions the reader/viewer might have developed from seeing the very same scene.

But hitting the “highlights” help those who either didn’t pay full attention to the show in question and/or may have been confused with what actually happened and appreciate clarification. I wouldn’t change a thing you are doing with one small disclaimer…and I have not found this on your site but others’. I like to see recaps because within the recap a reviewer is, consciously or not, providing a glimpse of whether or not they found the show effective and, more importantly, where within each episode the show either was deemed to go off in a bad direction or had wonderful direction, etc. Now once I got here I saw your question on writing style…I think the Supernatural, iZombie and S.H.I.E.L.D.
#Doctor who sleep no more series
That being said we understand what a historic series it is and are keeping one eye on what happens companion-wise at season’s end – I love Jenna from what I’ve seen of her but I do understand her desire to move along. We also have watched (and enjoyed) the Christmas-themed shows.
We did watch last season’s finale and the two-parter to open this season. I originally landed here because I wanted to say Doctor Who was a show my wife and I tried to “join” in the last year or so but it just didn’t stick. But I’m writing this right after the episode aired and I quite like what I’ve written so far without recap. Is it necessary to recap the episodes? Because I don’t mind doing it. PS: I’m experimenting with my writing style (as always) and I’d really appreciate feedback. But it certainly could have done with better execution. No wonder Mark wanted to reuse him after working with him in An Adventure in Space and Time.Īll in all the episode gets a 5/10. It was a bit of a waste of some great actors (like Bethany Black), but I enjoyed Reece Shearsmith’s acting. I know it was an experimental episode, and I don’t think it failed entirely. I expected more from Mark, because he is capable of much more. But unlike a lot of people, I didn’t mind not having the opening titles. I can go on and name all the creatures that can go after you and kill you and they were all scarier than the Sandmen. I can imagine kids being afraid of something like this, but even the empty child was scarier, let’s be honest. Mark Gatiss said it was gonna be like a horror. What causes trouble is that we watched it and the glitches implanted in the video feed, thanks to Rassmussen, has hacked our brains and we will also produce the sandmen. Turns out one of the main characters is also a sandman and them killing people isn’t even the worst thing. So far so logical, right? And it’s not even the monsters that can cause the most trouble. They can form a body that cannot see, but can kill and last but not least they’re also able to produce a video feed of what’s happening. And not only from the outside (like a CCTV camera), but also from people’s eyes. So they’re made of the sleep dust we produce in the corner of our eyes. To add to the odd mix in the episode, the monsters of the week (who come from a sleeping pod, as pods are becoming a theme), the sandmen are just a tiny bit confusing. It felt like it was toned down way too much to be suitable for kids. I could imagine this story being much darker and scarier. I’m actually a bit sad it didn’t really work out. It must have been hard for Mark Gatiss to put all of his ideas with these POV changes, the explanation of the sandmen monsters and Rassmussen’s video logs into a 40-something minutes long episode. There was this crew we did not have time to get attached to emotionally (unlike in Under the Lake/Before the Flood), so their deaths did not really affect me. The episode took place in the 38th century on a space station called Le Verrier, orbiting around Neptune. This was a really strange episode, first it was our first stand-alone episode of the series (with Face The Raven being the next). Anyhow I appreciate that they were brave enough to try something new. But the POV changes could have been better. The found-footage part was great, kept me engaged in the episode, cause I couldn’t figure out where it was going. But in Sleep No More they had a different idea about the way of achieving it and they didn’t really nail the thing to be honest. is a great one and so is the (book and) movie, Atonement.

Now, I’m a huge fan of POV changes used in tv shows and movies (when it’s done right), for instance T.R.A.C.K.S.
This week’s episode of Doctor Who is based on found footage with a dose of POV changes.
