Fantastic.
Bit of a cop out in the first few minutes as the cliffhangers are all resolved
quite easily, but the rest of the episode is the greatest yet in the new
series of Doctor Who.
The Beast attempts to split up the team by preying on their fears and regrest. Rose is told that she will die in battle in the near future (End of season 3?)
The security guard dies helping the team escape via a ventilation shaft-like access tunnel. The team get to Ood central and broadcast a brainstorm to knock the Ood out. They succeed but they have to leave the base. The captain orders that they leave via the rocket and they drug Rose to get her to come with them.
Excellent, excellent, excellent. 10 out of 10. I was a bit disappointed by the Doctor's admission that he didn't believe that the beast was before this universe. Doesn't he remember the creature in Terminus that jump-started this universe from the one before? Otherwise this is definitely the story to show potential fans interested in a serious science fiction story akin to Alien, with a bit of Event Horizon for good measure. Here's the BBC blurb:
With the planet threatening to fall into the Black Hole, the Doctor must make the ultimate sacrifice – but can he save the entire universe from the Beast?" David Tennant plays the Doctor, Billie Piper plays Rose and Will Thorp
plays Toby.
