I just rewatched David Tennant’s doctor regeneration into Matt Smith scene and I totally forgot that the Ood sing him a song as he goes. It’s one of the first times in a long time where he’s alone it’s Christmas, he’s scared and struggling to stand and “the universe sings him to sleep”. Even when he doesn’t have a companion the whole universe sings him to sleep, he’s never truly alone the universe is thanking him for his sacrifice and care in his last moments.

Have you ever seen a dancing Ood? Well now you can.
Not to mention… David Tennant geeking out with the Proclaimers, and possibly walking 500 miles just while they film this song.
(Which my Scottish blood can’t help but love & will now have running through my adhd brain all night)

cris watches dr. who: s02e08 - "The Impossible Planet"
"I had that job once, I was a dinner lady. Not that I'm calling you a lady. Although I don't know, you might be... Do they pay you?"
Rose sees the “Welcome to hell"-graffiti and just has to laugh. She has grown so supremely unbothered with this kind of nonsense, it's hilarious
Blackspeak!
Squiddies!
I like that the Ood look terrifying, but are actually kind of sweet
Shakycammm
Danny from Ethics is kinda hot
I love how Rose is immediately triggered by people potentially being slaves, addresses the servants respectfully and instantly tries to unionize them. Good for her
I would love being a chief dramatist
This must be why the last episode was so lame: this one got all the budget. I love the Alien-esque set design of the space station, the claustrophobic hallways and the sucking black hole
TARDES are plants?! I could grow one? Hold on, I suddenly have a great idea for some merchandise...
Any one of you a talented synthetic bioflorist?
gdi, sexy Danny from Ethics is kind of a bigot
SPACE HORROR! Gotta be one of my favourite genres. I really like this episode, it's so much less predictable than the last one
Thomas Babington Macaulay poetry! Neat!
Trap doors? That's not a trap door. That's a seal. Usually used to seal things away. Do not open that thing!
waitwaitwait ABBADON? The literal Beast? We're dealing with THE FUCKING DEVIL?
7 out of 8 TARDES. I can't wait for the next episode, let's gOoOo!

I think a big part of the emotion of planet of the Ood is the fact that obviously we would all like to think that we would be "friends of the Ood" but like. The majority of us probably wouldn't actually be. Society for the most part accepts the exploitation of the Ood, and odds are most of us would be too conformist, or at least too unconfrontational to actually do anything about it. And I think it is an invitation to introspection on Temple's part to look at how we respond to issues of severe exploitation in our own society, and what we as people do about it. Anyway very excited for tomorow
