Review of The Impossible Planet by KieranCooper

2025 REWATCH (Review posted on both episodes)
- I always look forward to this story, I just love it so much. The set up, the ideas, the design, the music, the characters, the everything!
- The Ood and conception are brilliant; they serve (literally) a purpose and look iconic to the show. While the Beast is amazing and perfectly voice-acted, the CGI for the physical body still looks amazing today. If they could bring the beast back, do it, please!
- Bringing a paranormal/demonology trope into the show is an instant win in my books. I'm always likely to be interested if that's where the story is going to explore
- They pack so much into this story, You explore a lot, have time for some deeper questions, get a bit existential, and have enough time for some action. It's amazingly put together
- I feel the side cast is equally as great. We get so much time with them, but with 2 random soldiers, we never learn their names of. I felt myself drawn to Ida; I always do. I like her character
