The Ood also had the ability to rebel at any time since they had the communication balls, but they didn’t until the demon possessed them. African slaves did not have weapons, they were outnumbered and if they fought back and killed their “masters” they wouldve had nowhere to go. The entire south was racist and would’ve eventually killed or recaptured them.

2019-12-01 12:27:17 +0000 UTCWe also never saw the humans mistreat them so I guess the show leaves it up to the audience to decide or ask these questions. But the fact that they were able to be possessed to be violent kind of tells me they had lower brain activity than the humans.

2019-12-01 12:15:17 +0000 UTCI picked up on the slavery and mentioned in the reaction that it made me uncomfortable , but I don’t feel it’s the same as the slavery on earth because these were aliens who actually had low brain activity. I wouldn’t say the same about black people who were forced to come over from Africa to be slaves. Africans did not have low brain activity, they were overpowered by men with guns

2019-12-01 12:05:26 +0000 UTCYou've made me want to read up on black holes... :D Your views are almost always diametrically opposed to the Fandom lol (which is fine - it makes for more interesting and unpredictable reactions). For example, in recent episodes you liked Rise of Cybermen/Age of Steel and The Idiot's Lantern ranked 124 and 213 out of 267 on the Doctor Who Dynamic Rankings but didn't really like Girl in the Fireplace and Impossible Planet/Satan Pit ranked 6 and 28 on the list. IP/SP was so scary to me when I first watched it and it was interesting you didn't pick up on any of the slavery symbolism for the Ood and the commentary on humanity's desire to have someone subservient to them. I felt that would be something you'd find interesting (and completely distasteful obviously).

2019-11-23 16:09:58 +0000 UTCAs I understand the rudimentary principles of black holes and maybe someone with better knowledge will correct me. Black holes pull in everything around them including light which makes them more difficult to detect. So scientists discover them more by the effect it has on its surroundings. The strength of its gravitational pull is related to its mass. But also time increasingly slows down the closer to are to them. As it does with other objects of a large mass. So its ability to pull in all the universe is dependent on its size, its effects on time in relation to the over all size of the universe. I'm not sure I made it easier for myself to understand it better after all that. lol

2019-11-23 15:31:21 +0000 UTCOh wow happy Who Day then! That’s cool😄 Interesting about the Sensorites. I feel like my opinion is always different from most viewers because this was just so so for me. I liked aspects of this 2 parter like the Doctor finding his faith and that the devil is an idea, but there were so many characters and I find that I’m drawn more to the smaller personal stories where we really get to know one or two guest characters.

2019-11-23 13:52:01 +0000 UTCThanks again for a great reaction, and Happy Who Day! You may not be aware, but today, November 23rd, marks the 56th anniversary of the very first broadcast of Doctor Who in 1963. While much has changed in that time, the core spirit of the show, and it's sense of humanity, have remained the same. This 2 parter epitomizes that, and while exploring themes of faith and cosmic evil/Satan, in the end it is the Doctors faith I people, and Rose in particular, that wins the day. I like this story. I think it has a great ensemble cast, well paced tension, and some really thoughtful moments of dialogue, such as between the Doctor and Ida. Incidentally, the Ood are based on a peaceful species of telepathic aliens called the Sensorites, who appeared in a story from the first season of DW in 1963.
