# Talk:Ood

Just thought I'd give the page a bit of a going over: not too much, just enough to make it scan. Absurdtrousers (talk) 17:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

The Ood have a minor appearance in a montage sequence in "Human Nature" when Timothy opens the fob watch. Worth noting? Absurdtrousers (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Their appearance has "made them a referent in British popular culture".  What is a "referent"? Or is this simply appallingly bad English?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 07:55, 16 May 2010 (UTC) 

Wiktionary has an entry for the word if you're unsure what it means: wikt:referent. AnemoneProjectors 12:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone have a source for the Ood Sigma scene being cut? Babelcolour5 (talk) 14:13, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Has no-one else noticed how much the Ood resemble Cthulhu?  Could the idea for this have been derived from Cthulhu and if so, should that be noted on this page someplace?  Anyone know where there might be a source for such a connection?  — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 01:31, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Even more than that, complete with their human size and telepathic powers, they resemble Illithids (aka mind flayers) from Dungeons & Dragons. But without reliable sources indicating they are inspired by them (not just a message board can let noticing their similarities to either Chutulu or Illithids), it's too trivial to mention. oknazevad (talk) 02:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

An Ood was shown in a pre release trailer for Doctor Who: Flux. Worth noting about the upcoming appearance?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pokelego999 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 30 October 2021 (UTC) 

Hello! I wanted to stop leaving messages on our talk pages about the article. I reviewed your copyedit and found a few sentences where I would like to bring back the Em dashes (though not for all).

tricks Halpen into drinking—under the guise of hair tonic—a liquid that turns Halpen into an Ood. The em dashes here are a substitute not for commas, but parantheses, which are generally not used in high-class articles
those who own them, with scanners in one story bring back the redlink, as the reader does not know what scanners are, correct? I didn't.
Despite some plans to bring the Ood back for the 2007 episode "42"—which would have seen a group of Ood stored away in a ship's cargo hold for black market sale—the Ood did not re-appear until the 2008 episode "Planet of the Ood". The em dashes flow nicer here, I think, than commas.
I approve of your other changes, thank you. - OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 22:10, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
