The Beast

Story: The Satan Pit
Written By: Matt Jones
Length: 45 Minutes
Year: 2006

The conclusion is slightly better than "The Impossible Planet". I always find this two parter to be among the best of the season. The Doctor faces off with what may be the Devil, and it’s pretty exciting and thrilling. Tennant gives a great performance in these scenes.
There are also great chase scenes with Rose and the crew of the ship they’ve landed on. Characters are pecked off in Classic Who fashion, and the pacing is all right. The Ood continue to be awesome. It’s all around a great two part episode.

If you were just starting with any random episodes of Doctor Who, the new series, I would say that Impossible Planet/Satan Pit wouldn't be a bad place to start.

NEXT TIME: L.I.N.D.A.
