Hands Down Best Season of Doctor Who! |
Most wished Catherine Tate Stayed on after Runaway Bride; but alas she returns for the best written, consistently fresh stories of the series. Doctor Who over all 4 seasons have been the best in contemporary Science Fiction; Silence in the Library 2 parter and Midnight stand out as stellar in this series, as well as episodes Stolen Earth and Journey's end. Davros was extremely welcome and well done; Torchwood and Sarah Jane return also with Martha, Rose, Mickey and Jackie for an extra thrilling, fun and exciting 2/3 part final.
Enjoy, thanks~ |

David Tennant Is Brilliant! The WHOLE show has me watching certain episodes more than 5 times! I've been a fan since the 70's when it got grat each time. Now, with all the special effects, bringing back Sarah Jane, K9!, and current chacters is just brilliant! Espicially in the last episode of this dvd, just OUTSTANDING!! I wish I could meet Russell T Davies and tell him what a great job he is doing! I wish I could be on the show! I love outer space, and these special effects are just fantastic, keep up this fantastic work!! I never thought I'd be this much into Dr. Who again since Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson and all the rest.....Mike |

1 star to Marketadvisory Intl. shipping fees |

And what of us poor guys who live in third rate countries where the postal system isn't safe and/or run by thieves? The only safe way to buy items is choosing the option Priority International Courier (averages 2-6 days). But the total cost of placing and order thus becomes ridiculously expensive: For me in Mexico City: Shipping & Handling: $32.98 plus Import Fees Deposit $32.50 I'd be paying more of shipping and fees than the actual cost of the DVD box set and with this world crisis the mexican peso keeps devaluating in relation to the dollar (20 percent in a few days) Do you want us to download Doctor Who illegally from Internet? One wants to be legal but you don't leave us another option. |

Already on the 4th season and no signs of slowing down |
It wasn't too long ago that the new series of Doctor Who started up, and before that day, I had only heard of the show in passing. I gave it a shot, and coming from a clean slate, I found I loved the show and have been watching it even since. One of the things that really captivated me about the show was anything was possible. You could be watching an epic space battle one episode, then on to meeting Shakespeare in the next. All the while, the show delivers on comedy and even some drama, the show is definitely a step higher in that department from what I have heard and seen since I started watching this show compared to the original.
A basic summary of your average episode would be that the Doctor and his current companion(s) travel through time and space, sometimes visiting famous events and helping out the locals with and alien related problems they might have. David Tennant has done a remarkable job in his acting, always coming up with odd yet funny quotes to relate to the situation.
One thing that I imagine might turn people away from buying this is the price tag. Compared to most other shows, it costs 2-3 times as much, but if you are a fan of the show or even have just seen a few and like it, I have found that I have been rewatching the episodes over and over again. Now season 4 isn't out yet, but in my opinion, the show is continuing on as strong as ever, even with fairly regular cast replacement, most new characters I have found to be just as good if not better than the last. |

Great Series But Overpriced |
I have copies of Dr. Who back to the original 1963 Doctor and the "new" series has indeed sparked some of the best episodes ever. But... The chemistry between Donna and the Doctor, as with Martha and the Doctor, just falls a little flat. Very good actresses, some great stories, but somehow just doesn't make this a five star season. Yes the series is changing and we now know more about how lonely a Timelord's life can be; but like "Scarlett" did nothing for "Gone With The Wind", sending "a" Doctor off to Rose falls flat. Better to have left it hanging. Having Rose "calling" the Doctor and showing up now and then was FANtastic, but why? Martha shows up for UNIT. Could have been better.
Each element: the acting, the writing, the music, the settings are GREAT, but somehow they just don't seem to flow together like they did in the first two seasons. It faltered a bit in season three and more so in season four.
As a fan, I WILL be buying season four one day. But a dozen episodes for $100 (discounted to $65)? Just too expensive for a three star season. I'll wait. If it doesn't drop, I'll just watch the TV versions I recorded.
I am intrigued as to what other extras might be included. Torchwood season 1 had commentary on EVERY episode yet season 2 had none (on the set I bought). What will be included here to justify the $100 SRP?
