kerravonsen | Doctor Who 4x03 "Planet of the Ood"

So, here we have the Ood episode! My reactions aren't very coherent, sorry. Liked it, though.

"Reckon I owe them one." Yes, you do, Doctor, and I'm glad you acknowledged that.

It's interesting that the thing that made Donna want to go home was because she has a big enough heart that she couldn't bear the terrible sadness of the Ood. (Yet more echoes of Tegan "This isn't fun anymore").
I liked how she was all "eeeew" as an initial reaction to the dying Ood at the start, and then was all sympathetic. If she hadn't had that initial reaction, her sympathy would have been less admirable.

"If you don't let her out, you'll be in big trouble. Not from me, from her."

Lots of mayhem, and creepy Ood-speaking-in-unison.
Sadistic guards, just deserts.

Holding their brains in their hands, that's just silly.

Turning the head of the company into an Ood, talk about poetic justice.

I loved how beautiful the planet was.

I was expecting that the Red Eye was a symptom of the Evils Of Humanity bleeding into the poor innocent Ood, what with all the "they are the reflection of us"... and maybe it was supposed to be that, but I'm not sure. I've been very frustrated both this episode and the last, of not being able to catch what David Tennant is saying, he's just speaking so fast. Even when I go back and rewind, there are some things I still don't know what he said. 8-(

I liked that the Friends of the Ood actually did help get the Ood their freedom, by that guy infiltrating the company. The Doctor and Donna may have helped a lot, but they were reaping the harvest of others.

I wonder if the Second Great And Bountiful Human Empire will collapse due to lack of slave labour. I wouldn't be surprised.

Interesting "Your song must end soon." And wasn't that the creepy-Rose-theme (or was that the creepy-Timelord-theme) that played when they said that? I'll take it as another reference to The Return Of Rose.

This is the second time they've mentioned the missing bees. That means either it's significant, or it's a red herring.

Martha and the Sontarans next week!
Does that mean I'm going to have to catch up on Torchwood? I have too much story-writing to get done before that! Aiie! I have to write:
- more Paradox
- my Multiverse assignment
- birthday fic
And decide whether or not I should sign up for
