The Best Odd Story!

Warning: Spoilers
The Tenth Doctor takes Donna Noble to her very first alien planet: the Ood Sphere. There, the Doctor encounters the Ood once more, and red-eye strikes again. But what is causing it this time? He and Donna soon learn the horrible secrets kept by Ood Operations, and they discover just what mankind is capable of. Elsewhere, what is the secret Warehouse 15 holds within its walls? The Doctor arrives, and everything will change. The revolution begins.

God, I love this episode to death. The Ood singing just gave me The End of Time vibes, had a very wonderful ending, great acting, the human-ood transition is still terrifying 12 years later, love it, anyways about that Ood singing, well done Murray Gold!

What also surprised me about this episode is that the snow scenes were shot in a boiling hot week in August, using fake snow. This was done using tiny pieces of paper, how impressive is that? Also, I think the Ood glowing red eye thing may be a reference to the Robots in The Robots of Death.
