unlike other streaming services you can actually offline it to your phone if your home internet is too slow or to take on the road. my wife downloads at work and then we jack it to the tv with a lil' adapter. apple tv not necessary. the lightning-hdmi adapter is 50 bucks not cheap but worth is for us and has a year warranty. prolly can get off-brand for $10.

the issue w/ the oud is they get possessed by the big satan, but the humans disrupt the telepathic field and zap it out of them. then they're starting to recover consciousness. then big satan gets thrown into the toilet but oh yeah, the doctor chooses to rescue one human who turned blue and leaves the 50 ouds to face their death fully awake. and the doctor says he couldn't go back because his time machine didn't have time (!). then he's all cheery saying goodbye. the more i think about it the more it fucks me up. buuuuuuut it's a good story anyway. much darker than it appears tho when you consider the "cattle" angle.

Yeah, I remember. And yes, a very dark story. And yes, not having time doesn't make sense, but I think every Doctor has a moment where they kind of flip shit over "not being able to save everybody," and I'm not sure, but I'm just saying I think the Doctor harbors some regret over that decision.
^ not a spoiler because I really have no clue. Can't remember.
I can't wait until you see [NOT GONNA NAME THE EPISODE BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, BOUNCE BACK A FEW PAGES TO WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT IT WITH DEMONRAIL]. I think you'll like that one. In fact, I think you'll think it's the best.
Yes, the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit is one of the episodes that made me really shit the fuck up and start taking the show seriously, not just as sci-fi fun, but as an intelligent artistic endeavor with some actual balls. I recall some interesting and tense moments when the Doctor is lowering himself into said pit that made me go "Oh wow, this is good television — there's some attempt to weave good and evil philosophy into the writing of this show!"
Aaaand that's how we nerdos feel validated. When sci-fi overlaps with genuinely smart, compelling ideas. Because then we are no longer nerds and spazzes for liking it... we are
