The Ood episode was pretty good, I thought.
The episode that aired in the UK tonight, however, was shit.

So they lied then?
The main problem for me was how rushed the development of the Jenny character was. She's created in the first MINUTE (just so they can have her saying "hello Dad" before the titles...why would she say that anyway?) she's a ruthless killer for about two minutes, then she can't kill some guy and suddenly she's the Doctor's fun daughter! She was cute and the acting was fine, but the writing was poor. The ending screamed "CBBC spin-off".
The whole thing with the dates stamped all over the ship/city whatever it was either made no sense or it was too complicated for me to understand.
Martha was pointless again. I suppose it was sad when her fish alien friend died.
As soon as they ran into the Genesis Cave I knew everything else that would happen. It was funny too how they made such a big deal about how beautiful the new planet was and we didn't even get to see any of it (because of the budget I'm sure.)
Still, she was cute.

Jenny's arc was basically:
"Hello I'm a clone of you and a girl HI DAD how do I even know you're my dad? OH well I'm basically a disposable character I HOPE I DON'T DIE AT THE END OF THE EPISODE."
"Why yes I'd love to travel with you in the TARDIS I can't wait! I REALLY HOPE I DON'T DIE AT THE END OF THE EPISODE!!!"
"WHAT A SHOCK I'VE BEEN SHOT AT THE END OF THE EPISODE! DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! AT LEAST I DIDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING TO ADVANCE THE PLOT WHILE I WAS ALIVE."
"Oh wait nope I'm back. Not really sure why, BUT LOOK OUT fOR ME KIDS AS I'LL SOON HAVE MY OWN SPIN-OFF OR I MIGHT EVEN BE IN THE FINALE. Oh cool my t-shirt has also regenrated magically! Wow!"

She was back because the writer had watched Star Trek 2.

I just feel sorry for the die hard Who fans who were probably really looking forward to some juicy details on the Doc's mysterious family relationships, only for it to turn out to be shit. And not even normal shit. It was especially shit.
Of course, RTD will claim they're too funny when they complain.
Martha's interaction with the fish was ludicrous. It was like Sooty and Sweep talking to Sue. Woah.. I just noticed, all the characters in Sooty have names beginning with the letter S. Sooty's nephew was called Scampy iirc. Wow, that's much more interesting than this week's Who.
Anyway, I didn't care when the fish died and I felt sorry for Freema having to act in such a stupid, stupid scene. And as previously mentioned, the ending was obvious right from the word "Dad".
The time thingy that Donna was figuring out did make sense, but it didn't really change anything. 7 days or 7 centuries, they were still fighting a pointless war, although looking back, it doesn't seem realistic that none of them could survive for 7 days.

A look into Gareth Robert's technique in writing "The Unicorn and the Wasp."
1) Open "The Shakespeare Code.txt"
2) Replace "Shakespeare" with "Agatha Christie"
3) Replace "Carrionites" with "Giant Wasp"
4) Add the line "WE'RE BRITISH" to random line. Copy/paste at least five times.
5) Save as "The Unicorn and the Wasp.txt"
Job done!

Nor was there actually any point to it apart from "LOOK! THEY'RE GAY! IN THE 1920s!!! LOOOOOK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Although the line about it not being likely there'd be any children in the house again was a little more subtle.
I don't really get how the whole episode was supposed to appeal to kids. I was nearly falling asleep by the end. Why is season 4 going downhill so much?
