And having someone killed by falling into/getting eaten by a brain is beyond annoying, and seen it in some terrible horror movies before this one. <br /><br />Although the jerk that treated them like crap getting turned into one was a fun bit of poetic justice, this one was mostly forgettable.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1385201911701194882013-06-29T10:49:40.515-04:002013-06-29T10:49:40.515-04:00Strange but compelling episode!

I think whatever impossible force that is keeping the brain alive will keep that guy alive too. He'll be happier with his friend ;)KennyTeeologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619747109442823201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-16539336882920856062010-06-16T22:44:01.481-04:002010-06-16T22:44:01.481-04:00I really liked Donna in this episode.

Compare her with the PR rep - Donna knew what the right thing was. I loved the line of "not knowing what's right or wrong anymore". I think that if Martha were still with the Doctor, we would have seen a very different outcome. So bravo to DonnaDoctor!Michael Colvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652603242977963534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-29449791777707263802010-05-29T03:18:07.446-04:002010-05-29T03:18:07.446-04:00So the dissapearing bees are this years Bad Wolf/T...So the dissapearing bees are this years Bad Wolf/Torchwood/Saxon? <br /><br />And i guess the Ood at the end (your song is about to end) ment that John Smith will change his name to Matt. But that's a bit too early to be foreshadowing that, isn't it?Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90100705713375892602009-12-02T17:48:57.748-05:002009-12-02T17:48:57.748-05:00I think is a great episode, bit heavy handed in so...I think is a great episode, bit heavy handed in some places but still a good idea.<br /><br />The Ood are technically most successful recurring new series alien we've had and their backstory was satisfying enough.<br /><br />Some of the music in this episode was gorgeous and the snowy backdrop on the Ood-Sphere was preferable to a jungle or quarry planet setting.<br /><br />Halpan certainly got his in the most unusual of ways.shawnlunn2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/14242367250345323622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-17982839912061422422009-12-02T14:48:19.291-05:002009-12-02T14:48:19.291-05:00“I think your song must end soon”

We got another great performance from Catherine Tate, some further development for the Ood and a decent villain in the form of Captain Darling. But as you pointed out a lot of the supporting characters were weak or so OTT they were downright laughable. And I despite my best efforts I just couldn’t take the giant Ood brain the least bit seriously. <br /><br />All in all a fine episode with some forgivable flaws.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.com
