Halpen Transforms Into An Ood! | Planet of the Ood | Doctor Who 

@@custard_paradox oh dam I just forgot I had dandruff

​@@theeguy9022I didn't know you had dandruff

It came off so easily it was unsettling

Yes The Beast brainwash The Ood.

@@MatthewsStopMotions Not really, no. They're kinda cute, in an unconventional sorta way.

But, didn't the Ood serve as the Grim Reaper when the doctor rewrote history for some captain of a mars base because his feelings got the best of him?

I love an Ood.

It's fiction you crit

TheFounderUtopia maybe they thanked him for supporting them? I mean, it's no secret that once the doctor disagrees with something he puts a stop to it. Maybe they thanked him for not opposing, and inevitably stopping them from doing what they intended to do.

He was the first person who had shown up in god-knows-how-long that didn't treat them like disposable trash. Yeah, he didn't free them, they did that themselves. But once they were free, they remembered those few who treated them like they were worth something. It speaks to the inherent gentleness of the Ood. They praise those who are just nice to them. Think of the phrase "those who wear their heart on their sleeve." This is a species who offers their brain in their hand. They offer good thoughts willingly to those who would accept them.

you made me laugh! XD

They thanked him for doing what he does best: Run around, talk a lot, and pull all of the attention on to himself. It left them free to finish what they had started. He was their distraction.

@@nralbers Hey he also disabled the bombs

Worse by human standards. Not by Ood standards.

He said we'll take good care of him....yeah im suspicious bout that......

@@barbkhan2323 He's Ood Kind now, no harm shall come to him, not by Oods anyway

@@Sekulture yep......i noticed

But really....what WAS in that stuff ?

Josuke Higashikata the orb is it's brain (or one of them I think idk)

@Mitchell Patterson Ok, noice? I never watched that episode and the only things I know about the Ood are from an encyclopedia so Imma assume you're right. Thanks for le information :)

Coincidence I think not

@Flibbertigibbet6 Welp, thanks, now I can't unthink this.

@Flibbertigibbet6 C-Can you not!?

I get that reference!

Well done Darling.

darling

Rex Plays lol blackadder

Rex Plays Time to move that drinks cabinet!

I wish people who hate would turn into the people they hate XD then maybe hate would be gone.

@@okidokidraws be alot less Christians in the us and alot more gay people

@@dragon22214 that isn’t a bad thing really

@@snakezase2998 YES. IT IS. LOL

@@dragon22214 a lot less atheists too. Lot less of every religion.

When I first saw the odd flesh under his scalp, I thought it was his skull which disturbed me.

Ood*

@minamo It looked like Mr Haplen was puking up noodles, I guess his weak stomach couldn't handle take-out Chinese food.....

It was like a baby just popped out with the umbilical cord and everything

@@girlgarde At first yes, but now it's no different than certain insects molting from their shells.

"Fantastic!"

Philipp Tapsell Hahaha! Thank you for saying that!

Philipp Tapsell don't you mean nOODles? Hehehe....

When Halpen vomited the tentacles... oodly gross

Noodles yum I wanna be an ood

A classic battle of ood vs evil.

yup indeed lol.. i didn't expected that when i first saw the episode.

dID U JUSTTTT

Qari Anderson that was the best answer EVER

It was so ood that it caused a pair-a-docs.

NWP Broadcasting im here to face my fears.

The RoboNerd Indeed.

We all know he deserved it.:

NWP Broadcasting Beautiful. They were overrated anyway lol

same I found this disturbing when I first saw it too

Yes! But I don't think they will return in series 10 :/ But a two parter in series 11 would be awesome! :D

Wouldn't it be interesting if they were the main villain for the Twelfth Doctor's Regen? though I feel like they'll want to go grander for that episode

Definitely! But why would they be the villians? Yes they could bring the red eyed Ood back but still I don't think they should be villians :D

PikaPlayzHD Ood aren't villains.

The Puresh eyyyyy

Love and monsters? Oh yeah, we are not talking about love and monsters...

EpicToaster love... love and what? I don't think there was such episode in Doctor Who

What about Amy screaming in horror upon waking up and discovering that she is pregnant and a creepy woman with a patch on her eye tells her to push?

Ailin Ell That's where you're wrong

Not sure, the empty child transformation is pretty horrible too

​@@Silverwind87 No, they don't become judges of morality, they're the opposite of judges of morality. I wouldn't say that judging morality is less human, or, rather, I wouldn't equate "being human" with "being good". You have to judge morality, that's what uncertainty does, that's what doubt does. You have to judge the value of a certain mode of being in order to choose whether you should continue that mode of being. Therefor, what Mr. Halpen hasn't done is judge his mode of being, which is why he hasn't considered its rightness or wrongness. Personally, I think judges of morality are "good", but I think those humans, who judge all morality even their own rigorously, are exceptionally rare, therefor, I wouldn't say they are very "human".

Stop acting like this is deep, it’s just a bunch of cartoon villains.

brandothefish 1 minute ago Lol you say that like it's a fact, which it's not. There are obviously things you should know for certain,. For example: rape is bad, child murder is bad, love and compassion are good, gravity exists, etc, etc. The point of this episode isn't to say "Don't think you know something for certain". That's just silly. I know many things for certain, like how Wild Berry Pop-tarts are amazing, and I'll enjoy them until I'm dead.

I would disagree to a degree. If you don't have faith in some absolute truths then that means you don't morally stand for anything. And I would never want to be the type of person who won't stand for anything.

There's a fantastic line from a villain in the tv show Dead Zone which has a similar sentiment. The bad guy is a politician aspiring to become President, and the hero is a psychic who's had a vision that if he gets elected the country will be wiped out in a nuclear war. But this bad guy is such a charming sociopath and incredibly sure of himself in that fundamentalist Christian sort of way, so he doesn't give a shit. When they meet, he just says "you're right a lot, aren't you? It's a powerful feeling, to know that you're right." And it just shows you everything you need to know about the character. The most powerful villains are those who KNOW that they're right.

I don't like that they basically have no mouth, though.

​@@ImThatGirl101 They're homages to Cthulhu

Despite being freaky looking, their minds and souls are beautiful like those of angels. God created them to show that even the strangest looking of beings can be angelic too.

Based on his muffled screams hes aware and The Dr's "It's better that way " after Donna says she's doesn't know what's right or wrong

Merciful? I'd prefer the blood eagle as a punishment compared to being mutated into an inhuman creature incapable of controlling my own actions and being subject to an alien hive mind. And I'm quite certain Halpen would vigorously agree, if he had enough free will remaining that he could do so.

I would rather be killed immediately.

@@tathemrelag3123 Exactly. Being altered in every way both physically and mentally isn't merciful. It's just a murder without physical death.

@@DivineFalcon Yep, that's not Halpen anymore. Just something that looks a bit like he used to. Horrible fate.

@@tathemrelag3123 I don’t think the Ood are controlled by the hive mind, per say They’re certainly CONNECTED by the hive mind, and they CAN be taken over if either something goes wrong with the hive mind, or a malicious entity replaces that hive mind, but they ARE separate individuals mentally, who have free will & all. It’s just that their main emotions are love & compassion, both for each other & for all living beings in general. As the Doctor said, they evolved literally holding half of their brain in their hands, forced to implicitly trust anyone & everyone they meet with their lives So they evolved to be kind & compassionate above all else. So, my interpretation of it is While Halpen was transformed physically, and certainly also changed mentally, he didn’t become a mindless Ood drone So he’s still himself, but his greed and selfishness were replaced by love, compassion, and an acute awareness of his deep connection to all other Ood. So if I were to guess, I’d say he’s probably not happy at the transformation, at least not at first, but he’s almost definitely more remorseful than anything else. So, overall, I think this transformation does Halpen more good than bad in the long term, and it’s not like he was taken over by a hive mind, more like he was gifted the Oods’ love and compassion. So overall, I think Halpen still has free will, and even most of his personality still intact as it was before, it’s just that the greed & selfishness was replaced by love & compassion.

Absolutely

I believe I can. On an unrelated issue, please have a drink, Sir.

SakariWolf13 oh no

DnD?

@@dreademperor2094 yeah

IKR

Same

It didn't make me freak out you reap what you sow. They were trying to save their leader and free themselves. Sounds a bit familiar to me.

It still does

Very Ood...but handy!

just.. just

DON'T BLINK!!!!

+Kale Ling They are quite cute. I think the Daleks are cuter though

Bill Krayer,Jr. don't even blink

Nah, not really. There's a clip of Tennant obsessing over the strangely satisfying sponginess of the ood masks.

Golden era of doctor who

Slitheen, (sigh) Abzorbaloff, can't think of much more

BionicNinja 123, I'm not talking about disguising themselves as human and being revealed, though, that's quite a bit different.

Oh right. But it has a similar idea of 'becoming' something else

BionicNinja 123, Yeah, I guess there is something of a thematic connection.

As disturbing as this was, this was AFTER they toned it down. It was originally far more graphic.

The BBFC gave it a 12 rating for the whole show so it’s not really for kids, but it’s such a staple family show that most people look over it. It’s like with top gear, it’s 15 but people still watched (past tense because who watches the new top gear) with their children and families

@@hegg9312 did u just have a stroke?

Yep, it's called Goodbye Ten

I honestly just noticed quite recently too! It sounds beautiful here and it fits perfectly in that heroic scene when LITERALLY EVERYONE is in the TARDIS in Journey's End towing the Earth back.

@@TimeToSlashZoom that one was Vale Decem; this is Song of Freedom

@@TimeToSlashZoom It's Song of Freedom

Everyone in this comment section is wrong. The one in Journey's end when Earth was towed was "Song of Freedom" "Vale Decem" (pretty sure Vale Decem 1 but maybe 2) was played when ten regenerated. This one is "songs of captivity and freedom".

And now I have nightmares about that. Well played.

*Puts box of Ramen further back in pantry* Guess I’ll be sticking to sandwiches for the next month or so😐

It would have cost you $0 to not write this comment.

I had way too much spaghetti once. The transformation looked almost as bad as I felt then, and made me feel almost as sick

I think he wanted to freak out but he decided not too. XD

Given how much strange stuff he's seen in his life, that probably doesn't even register at this point.

I think in the end, all that mattered to him is that they wouldn't kill Mr. Halpen

He probably see worst, like really worst

I doubt this is even in the top 50 weirdest things he’s ever seen

The Outcast heh, it isnt as bad for me either, i remember aLOT more happening

Same with lot's of movies/series

art? please it's far from art

Totally art dude, best art ever. am I right?

Ruairi Logan baka

Ruairi Logan its a reference

Say Hi To Hatty! Is there any other form?

Did you forget about the great Rory Williams?

... And then immediately forgets about that reaction, completely switching gears on a dime.

Doctor who's tone can often be summarized with "And then they switched gears on a dime"

Series 1 to 2009 specials were great ever since Series 5 it#s just felt uninspiring bland as hell with little to no action at all. All talk blah blah blah morals blah blah....

+BadwolfGamer so you want more action and explosions and flashing lights??? glad doctor who doesnt pander to your kind anymore

I wouldn't lick an ood if he was glazed in honey!

Of course, not all Humans treated the Ood as slaves as not all Humans are assholes like Haplen. Still, the villains WERE Humans, just not all Humans. Haplen and his lackeys give the rest of Humanity a bad name. I'm definitely on the side of the Ood here as slavery is an evil institution that Humans have fought other Humans to put a stop to.

The doctors daughter was shit but thats about it

I liked the Doctor's Daughter

Series 4 and 5 were the absolute peak of DW

Not the daughter's doctor imo

I miss Russel T. Davies being able to write fantastically

Think the point was Donna and tennant showed them compassion from the start to the very core of saying friend of the Ood others saw them as slaves or property the journey end the ood came back in his dieng moments as a friend to friend moment a really heartfelt moment

Well the doctor did break the circle

As some people pointed out. The Doctor was a great distraction for the Ood. He also disarmed the bombs that were gonna destroy the ood brain. He also treated the ood with rare kindness and compassion, and didnt get in the way of their revolution. He might not have led the revolution, sure, but the Ood clearly feel grateful for what he did do for them.

It’s like he thinks it’s beautiful.

Well, you can't always be the cause/resolution to a problem. Adds more variety to the show rather than Doctor shows up and fixes the problem.

I think that was the point. He cant always be the one saving everyone all the time. I think he relize the only way they could be truly free was to do it them selfs

You think The Doctor is part of every solution ever? This kind of thing probably happens thousands of times across the universe, without The Doctor present

Their sympathies with the Ood were what they needed, the psychic boost for their will to freedom.

It would be nice seeing the Ood again.

who doesn't?

I see what you did there.

Imagine getting succ off am ood
