True 'dat. While I haven't seen too much of the classic series, I very much got a William Hartnell vibe from 'Pompeii' and something of a Troughton vibe from 'Planet.' Maybe it's me. And with Sontarans and UNIT on the horizon, well, that's very Pertwee, isn't it?

That's the one major narrative flaw in this otherwise fine episode, yes. I'm a big fan of the Ood, and it was nice to see their "secret origin," so to speak-- including their very bizarre and interesting biology-- I just wish the Doctor actually got to do something aside from run around and nearly get killed. He was too much the outside observer.
