I guess it won't be really spoilery so no cut today.

It was a good episode, but certainly not the best. (Maybe I just had problems with the Ood-factory and its people but something wasn't right.) BUT! Lovely Ood with lovely Ood-blinking always buys me. And Donna, of course.

It should have been a two-parter. There was a lot of backstory that could have been told better: the first ep could have been: intro to Ood-sphere; history of the Ood; history of mankind's exploitation of Ood; end on suitable cliffhanger - probably Donna stuck in the crate with the Red-Eyed Ood and the Doctor almost getting killed by crane hook. Second episode: more about Friends of the Ood; more about chairman; ending the same, really (except for the guy falling into the giant brain).

There. :) I should write DW scripts. *lol*

It could have been good, but it was sadly lacking in something and quite predictable. I never liked the Ood though, so my expectations were low anyway.
But Donna was still fab and one of my weaknesses is telepath!Doctor, so it was alright.

(Maybe I just had problems with the Ood-factory and its people but something wasn't right.)
The 'slavery is wrong' topic was exaggerated a bit too much, I think, and that made it grotesque.

yeah i felt the episode came off as slightly not right as well - although i have to say the more i see of Donna the more I enjoy her with the Doctor. She is very genuine.

Well, I'm a big Ood-fan, so I was amused by them (and Donna, of course, she's brilliant).
The plot really was predictable, but I loved to learn more about the Ood. :)

The two-parter idea is pretty good actually ;)
