In my opinion, both of these next two are tremendously overshadowed by their final 5-10 minutes - and rightly so. They're certainly an idiosyncratic pair.

Well, the episodes following the next two are pretty decent for the time, I guess. The next two though,

This is the only thing I really, really don't like about these episodes (at least, I think it's the only thing; it's been awhile since I've seen them). I'm not really sure what the purpose is of introducing a "slave" race if they aren't going to comment on it or liberate them. I think the point of science fiction (or fantasy, which Doctor Who sometimes is, really) is, at times, to pop open that Intro to Philosophy textbook and replace the "what if" moral conundrums with story scenarios, but what on earth is interesting for us, right now, in the idea of "What if a race of people simply were engineered to be space butlers with little to no reward?" In fact, if you extrapolate its meaning to anything in our lives, the implication is sort of disgusting. I find it difficult to accept that the story they were telling needed it, and the Doctor sort of shrugging at the end and saying "Well, I couldn't save the Ood, whoops" is really uncomfortable. People have mentioned that the Ood show up later, but Doctor Who is episodic enough that you sort of have to take the individual serials on their own merits, and this left a really sour taste in my mouth.

On one hand, I was looking forward to the LMS S4 thread. On the other hand, you're probably right and it's too tired and was never going to be as good as the S2/3 thread.

This next one's probably the one you're thinking of. sbaldrick posted:You know once you finish this he's going to make you watch all the early series right I actually think Toxx/Occ looking at a sampler of the various classic Doctors could be interesting. Like 1-2 stories each (a best/worst kinda thing), but only if this thread catches up to the present and still hasn't worn out it's welcome.

FWIW (that is: not much), I loved the next one except for the last couple minutes and found the one after that so utterly unremarkable that I was surprised when I recently found out that it was so hated.

Are The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit the episodes where they used the goddamn door opening sound effect from DOOM? Because that alone makes them pretty alright.

They're standard sound effects created by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Ideas , so they turn up everywhere

"Rusty gate opening number whatever" is one of the most distracting things about television and film. You hear it so often, it's actually getting to be kind of annoying.

Does anyone with more behind the scenes knowledge know why these were the only two episodes written by this particular writer? If a writer can pull off a two-parter as well as this one you'd think they'd bring the guy back for another round. Or did Rusty have to do a lot of work to salvage the scripts?

Writing isn't his full time job, most likely because the stars never aligned, so he works as a Producer instead which is a very time consuming job. It's possible that he wants to come back, and would be welcomed, but just has never been able to. Rusty must of liked his scripts because he invited him to write for Torchwood.
