Could you explain a bit more about what your dh means? I didn't understand what he was getting at.

I enjoyed it. The ending was a bit heavy handed; I understand what your hubby meant. Since a lot of the Ood had been lobotomized, are they still able to feel, think and communicate as much as the natural Ood?
One thing about this Doctor, you get one chance... no second chances.

I did think it was an above average episode. The part where the Ood guy was attacking one of the guards in the face and his tentacles were wiggling made my 18 you daughter giggle. She also had a friend over and I'm not sure this was the best episode for her to be introduced to Doctor Who.
I do like that they're defining Donna by having a lot of compassion for others (not something we really saw in The Runaway Bride) and of course, that she's not interested in the Doctor romantically...she really views him as an alien.

Manda, what did you think of tonight's episode? I like Jenny, I wonder if we're gonna see more of her?
I'm not sure what I thought. I liked her character, but can't quite bring myself to be comfortable with the whole idea of her being who she is. Something somehow doesn't sit right with me about it.
I am sure that ending was designed to leave the door open for her to reappear sometime. Perhaps during one of the specials that we're getting next year instead of a proper series?

My mom visits me twice a year for a few days and it's the only time she watches any kind of sci-fi or fantasy programming. She used to need everything explained to her, but she's getting better at just watching and appreciating it for what it is...sci-fi.
Anyways, she liked the Ood and got a little choked up about the whole episode. So, I thought that was really kinda sweet.
If you are sensitive to things surrounding new age and such, I could see the implication. Of course, most all of sci-fi/fantasy is universalism - it kinda has to be by it's very nature.

I'm thinking that there's a bit too much thinking going on here. 
yes, I would agree with that
after all...it's just sci-fi

You'll be getting an Agatha Christie Dr Who in a couple of weeks. I just read an article about it and was looking at the photos. Seems to me that there is a certain acress who had botox because her face is as smoother than it was when she was in 'The Good Life'. The same, however, cannot be said for her arms.
