 Doctor Who - The WEll . 
  
  
 So Al Generator ChatGPT what do you think?? 
  
 Of course! Here€€€s the review for **Doctor Who €€€ "The Well"**:

 **Doctor Who €€€ "The Well" Review** 
  
 *"The Well"* plunges the Doctor and Belinda into one of their darkest, 
 tensest adventures yet. After leaving 1952 America, the TARDIS rockets 
 half a million years into the future, landing the pair amid 
  a chilling mystery: 25 colonists missing, one survivor, 
  and something very wrong in the air. 
  
 The opening sets an eerie tone, with space troopers, an abandoned colony, 
 and the growing sense that unseen forces are at play. The atmosphere 
 is thick with dread, masterfully built through little details - no masks 
 in a hazardous environment, ghostly sounds in abandoned rooms, 
 and video fragments of the colonists' last moments. 
  
 The callbacks to the *Planet Midnight* entity are a fantastic touch 
 for long-time fans. This isn't just another "monster of the week" - it's 
 a return of one of the Doctor's most haunting foes, and it's just as 
 terrifying here. The unseen creature systematically picking off 
 soldiers evokes classic sci-fi horror, ramping up the tension 
 with each disappearance. 
  
 Belinda gets some of her best material so far, showing her human side 
 as a nurse comforting Alice, the lone survivor, and stepping up when 
 action is needed. Her bravery in shooting to release the entity is 
 a powerful moment - raw, emotional, and messy in a way Doctor Who 
 rarely shows. 
  
 The climax, with mercury flooding the room and the last desperate 
 plan to trap the entity, is pure adrenaline. The final scenes - Belinda 
 recovering in the TARDIS, Mrs. Flood ominously returning with new hints 
 that she knows more than she should - keep the story grounded 
 in the ongoing mystery arcs. 
  
 *"The Well"* isn€€€t just a survival story; it's about trust, loss, 
 and what it means to face an enemy you can€€€t even see. It's classic 
 *Doctor Who* horror wrapped in a thoughtful, emotionally charged package. 
  
 **Rating: 9/10**

 So Al Generator Google Gemini what do you think? 
  
 Doctor Who: The Well - Review "The Well" is a tense and atmospheric Doctor 
 Who 
 episode that throws the Doctor and Belinda into a desperate situation far in 
 Earth's future. The episode blends elements of classic base-under-siege 
 stories with a chilling mystery, resulting in a memorable, if somewhat 
 frantic, adventure. 
 The TARDIS, having departed 1952 USA, arrives a staggering 500,000 years 
 in the future. The Doctor and Belinda find themselves in the middle 
 of a rescue mission. Twenty-five colonists are missing, and initial 
 investigations reveal a grim truth: most are dead. The episode quickly 
 establishes a sense of dread and isolation. 
 Belinda's nursing skills are put to the test as she stays with 
 the sole survivor, Alice, who recounts her harrowing experience. 
 This allows the episode to deliver exposition and ground the horror 
 in a personal story. Meanwhile, the Doctor and the troops delve deeper 
 into the mystery, encountering a ghostly sound and the remnants of 
 a last-moments video. 
 The episode's core horror element is revealed when the Doctor finds 
 himself in a diamond mine on the planet Midnight. The entity 
 from Midnight is back, and it's picking off the soldiers one by one. 
 This section of the episode effectively ratchets up the tension, 
 creating a claustrophobic and terrifying environment. The Doctor's 
 race against time to escape the mercury flood adds another layer 
 of suspense.The entity itself is a formidable and frightening foe, 
 and the episode doesn't shy away from showing its deadly power. 
 The sequence in the safety room, where the entity is already present, 
 is a classic horror trope executed well. Belinda's desperate act 
 of shooting to release the entity, while perhaps questionable, 
 highlights the escalating desperation of the situation. 
 The episode's climax is a chaotic struggle for survival, culminating 
 in a soldier and the entity plummeting into the well. The pacing 
 is relentless, which can be both exciting and slightly overwhelming. 
 Belinda's recovery in the TARDIS provides a brief respite, 
 but the episode's final moments deliver a chilling twist: 
 Mrs. Flood is back, and she seems to know the Doctor, suggesting 
 a larger arc at play. 
 Overall:"The Well" is a strong episode that delivers a thrilling 
 and scary Doctor Who experience. It effectively blends a classic 
  monster-on-the-loose scenario with a compelling mystery 
  and a strong sense of atmosphere. 
  While the pacing can be frantic, and some elements are left 
  unexplained, the episode's strengths lie in its suspenseful 
  narrative, chilling villain, and the performances of the leads. 
  The ending sets up intriguing questions for future episodes. 
  Rating: 8/10 
  
 5/10 for me.  REturn to the Planet Midnight to mine diamonds. 
  
 Midnight was on on the worst 1st Tenth Doctor episode along with 
 Lowe and Monsters, The Lazaurus Expermient, and Gridlock . 
  
 Dare I parallel Midnight and The Well with Alien (I an II) . 
  
 Aliens makes sense.  Midnight did not. 
  
 And The Doctor putting everyone in danger just to see what this 
 creature looks like? How irresponsible. 
  
 Yeah! Midnight should stay dead!
