Day Two: Doctor Who S04E03: Planet of the Ood

Oh my. Doctor Who is one of the best series that I've ever came across thanks to Netflix. I've been watching it in the beginning a lot, and I try to watch at least one episode a week now. This episode has to be one of the best.

 Episode #191 is called Planet of the Ood. The Ood are a species that are used as butlers to serve the owners. Something most people would like to have in real life, including me. Quick recap, David Tennant is now the doctor, Rose is gone(I have a crush on Billie Piper), and Martha too. Now we have Catherine Tate as Donna Noble. I knew her from The Office, but she is doing a sublime job in this series.

Back to the episode. The Doctor sets the TARDIS(Time and Relative Dimension in Space) to random and they come into a snowy planet. When they are outside, Donna finds an Ood who is laying in the snow. The Ood is injured and needs help. Just before the Ood will die, his eyes turns red and Doctor is trying to find it what it is. When they are looking in distance, they see a factory. It's the Ood Operations, where Oods are kept and sold as servants. The Doctor that they are in the year 4126, in the Ood-Sphere. The CEO tells the Doctor that the killing method is always the same. The victims are being electrocuted by the Ood's spheres, that helps them to translate it to a language that people will understand.

The Ood's in their natural habitat.

 Donna is getting more and more sympathy for the Oods and is not coping well with the enslavement that the Oods have. When the Doctor and Donna are going off track to check everything out, they are captured by the security force. Not a long time later, the Oods will begin a big revolution and the complex is being evacuated. When the Doctor follows the CEO, he sees a big and large brain. That brain controls the Ood's collective consciousness. It's limited because there is a force field made by pylons in a circle.

The CEO wants to kill the brain, but is stopped by the Doctor, Donna and Dr Ryder. He reveals that he is a activist for Friends of the Ood and has infiltrated the company. When the CEO finds out, he throws the doctor into the brain. Ood Sigma, the loyal servant of the CEO, has been using the CEO's hair medication to convert him into an Ood. He tells the Doctor and Donna that he will take car of the CEO. The Doctor is able to shut down the force field and the bombs that were placed by the CEO. After this, the Doctor and Donna go back to the TARDIS and begin their new adventure.

My Verdict: This was a great episode. It might be my favorite one yet. It's good written and the Ood's get a big role. 9,5/10 4,5 out of 5 stars.
