@BlairScots : I believe "stimmt's" or "stimmt es" here means something along the lines of "isn't it?" or "right?".

Can one say, "Es ist doch nacht" ? Does the doch not imply the "isn't it"/oder?

Can someone please explain this sentence...I've read all of the comments and gone to the links...but I don't understand yet where "doch" and "oder" come in...did we learn this somewhere before? I want to understand.

I looked it up, and apparently "doch" is used in affirmative responses to a negative. Basically, the "isn't it" (emphasis on the "n't") makes "doch" necessary, if I'm understanding it correctly.
