The Doctor and Donna visit the snow, and Find the Ood. But the Ood are being controlled by something, and they are being turned Rabid, crazy., 29 July 2008
10/10

This is a good episode, with the return of the Ood.A great episode, and worth watching. The Ood first featured in the 2006 series of Doctor Who,in the Impossible Planet,and the Satin Pit, were they were also controlled by a being, known as the beast, the devil, or satin. Donna is disturbed by the song of the Ood, and how they are slaves, and by their song, the song of the Ood. In some bits of the episode, there are some unusual bits, but, their are very good special effects. In the 2006 series, Rose was also questioning the Oods part in serving humanity, and why they serve. The Ood say they are born to serve. The Ood are an excellent addition to the vast section of monsters and villains of Doctor Who. The Confidential of this episode is also worth watching, it shows how the did some of the special effects, and which is costume and which is not.

All in all, the Episode is an excellent one, starring David Tennent, and Cathrine Tate, and is worth watching by anyone who likes Doctor Who, or Science fiction, or anyone at all.
