Yes. Although I think it was more to do with using the same stock sound effects, rather than the similar-ish plot.

I have one question: When the Ood are advancing up the stairs and talking about the beast, did they really say "There are some who call me Trogdor", or was my hearing playing up?

Maybe it was Tregard ?

I really enjoyed that. I'll have to go an rewatch Pyramids of Mars now (Gabriel Woolf who did the voice of the Beast tonight did the voice for Sutekh in Pyramids)

I enjoyed that too! Although now I will have to dig out my copy of Aphrodite's Child and 666!

I was waiting for him to say he was also known as Cthulhu too.

So much better than the Doom movie.

Indeed, that was cool. Plenty of WTF is going on moments and mystery and we're still wondering just what and why it's happening.

Liked that one a lot. Although it is a little bit Doom or Event Horizon, the atmosphere of it actually reminds me more of stuff from years back like Star Cops and Murder in Space (showing my age there I'm sure).

They do seem to like throwing pretty girls into space through windows on this series though don't they?

I've got a horrible feeling there's going to be a huge Deus Ex on this one though.

They do, I was disappointed too

It wasnt as crap as Event Horizon.

Some great lines, but a very random plot and too much "forced" emotion.

Could someone post the ending (spoiler-ified as necessary)? Fucking Dancing Bollocks that was on before overran or something so media center carefully cut the end short.

I'd got to:

Don't read this wrote:The pit had just begun to open

I ge the feeling I pretty much got to the end, but if there's any more then that would be cool if someone could fill me in. Got a torrent primed and ready to go anyway

Cheers

If anyone can find a torrent of this episode please PM me (or just post here if you like), my UKNova account has lapsed.

The room they spent a lot of time in (not the control room, the other one with the opening roof) was quite similar in layout to the break room in Star Cops.

There are few on torrentspy. Buyer beware though, as Age of Steel had an audio fuckup.

Top episode...loved it to bits...real shame about the pretty girl floating in space, tho....was hoping she'd stick around.

Now...only problem is that I'm gonna be in Spain this time next week!
