Short: Sweet Jeebus that was good
Long:
Holy. Jeebus. Fuck.
My admiration for the woman playing Sky (ETA: Lesley Sharpe - this is my dumb American showing through) is incredible. Absolutely incredible. Between the amount of lines she had to learn AND the accent switches AND the different speech rhythms of everyone else?
Holy crap. Creepy as hell. And yes, RTD - absolutely astounding technically.
The Doctor's switch into her rhythm of speech was just as creepy. God, between the two of them... *shudder*
IMHO, this is a perfect example of how to control and build tension. It's a piece to be studied, and not just for Doctor Who - but for anyone who wants to learn how to write proper suspense.
Erich's thought about this after the episode - "If there's one thing Doctor Who has taught us through the years, it's that the scariest monster in the universe is a mob of terrified humans."
We haven't evolved much past that group of humans in 10,000 BC, have we?
I forsee watching this about twenty more times this week. Just SOOOOO good.
