DVD Reviews of Doctor Who: The Complete Fourth Series
DVD Review: Why do we love Donna?
Summary: 5 Stars
Why do we love Donna?
Because she is the first companion in ages to demand true respect from the Doctor. No moon-eyes or unrequited love for Donna! She's an adventurer at heart.
Truly a great and noble representative of homo sapiens.
DVD Review: Spaceman & EarthGirl
Summary: 5 Stars
The fourth season of the no-longer-so-new Doctor Who is the same emotional rollercoaster of glee and heartbreak as the previous seasons; a ride that thrills and elates and makes tragedy worthwhile. After starting on a slightly weaker note with the flimsiest of the Christmas specials, Voyage of the Damned, season four picks up by reuniting the Tenth Doctor with Donna Noble, former runaway bride.
Although Donna's alternately insecure and brassy personality makes her initially less likable than the departed Martha Jones, Captain Jack and Rose Tyler, watching the character change over the season is one of the best story arcs the new Doctor Who has yet presented. Catherine Tate is superb at making Donna believable in all shades of her transformation from lowly temp to "the most important woman in the universe". With David Tennant's continually flawless Tenth Doctor, season four offers some of the best written, most memorable episodes, including the mystery-laden "Silence in the Library", "The Unicorn and the Wasp" a fantasic historical vignette in which the Doctor and Donna meet Agatha Christie, and the brilliant alternate reality of "Turn Left".
And the ending, as always, is a star-spangled punch to the gut with moments of uplifting delight and crashing lows. Earth faces its greatest threat yet, and the Doctor confronts bitter truths about himself and his impact on the humans he meets. Reuniting all of the Doctor's companions in an epic battle that alters the Doctor's path forever, the finale of season four is the kind of rare, riveting television that you enjoy every minute of and hate to see end.
DVD Review: AN EPIC, EXCITING AND THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING FOURTH SERIES!
Summary: 5 Stars
After three series (Or seasons, if you're American), head writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies, and the entire cast and crew pull out all the stops for the show's fourth year, it's biggest and most ambitious yet! Paired with Donna Noble (The funny and beautiful Catherine Tate), the Doctor (The always-brilliant David Tennant) sets sail on adventures and perils bigger than anything that has come before. Coupled with an outstanding set of supporting characters, including the returns of Jack Harkness, Sarah Jane Smith, Martha Jones, and Rose Tyler, along with new greats such as Donna's Grandfather, Wilfred Mott (Played to perfection by Bernard Cribbins), combined with clever writing, brilliant directing and outstanding visual effects, this season is just brilliant!
The highlights of this stellar season include:
-"Voyage of the Damned," the 2007 Christmas special that combines elements from "Titanic" and "The Poseidon Adventure" with sci-fi for a thrilling adventure;
-"The Fires of Pompeii," where the Doctor and Donna land in the titular Roman City on the eve of it's destruction, only to find the terrifying Pyrovile at work to bring about mankind's destruction;
-"Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead," Steven Moffat's two-part contribution to the season, which brings the Doctor and Donna into confrontation with the frightening Vashta Nerada, along with a future acquaintance of the Doctor's;
-"Midnight," a terrifying scenario by Davies, which has the Doctor stranded with a fearful group of people, and powerless to help, as an unknown alien force possesses one of the passengers, and;
-"The Stolen Earth/Journey's End," the biggest, most epic conclusion to a series to date, as the Doctor joins forces with companions from the previous three series to combat the Daleks and their sinister creator, Davros.
As with previous boxed sets, the series is presented with terrific picture and sound, and a great amount of enjoyable extras. This is a terrific set that fans of "Doctor Who" will want in their collection!
Program/DVD Grade: A+
DVD Review: thrilling family show
Summary: 5 Stars
WE are big fans of Doctor Who and cannot get enough. Our entire family loves this show!DVD Review: Too expensive.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought series 1,3, and 4 before Christmas 2009 for $41.99 each from Amazon. Now I see it's going for $62 a piece. What's going on??? I love this show, maybe it's worth $62, but come on guys, give us a break. Don't take advantage of the situation by increasing the price, you might loose some fans out there who are not willing to fork out that much dough!
Description of Doctor Who: The Complete Fourth Series
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 11/18/2008 Run time: 655 minutesKicking off with a jam-packed Christmas special and ending with a blockbuster extended closing installment, Doctor Who's fourth season since it was revived is a breathless, exciting one that also boasts some exceptional episodes. The ones in particular to watch out for are the outstanding "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead" doubleheader, the almost-single-location creepfest that is "Midnight," and the trio of "Turn Left," "The Stolen Earth," and "Journey's End" that round off the season. In the midst of those is also one of the very best cliffhangers in Doctor Who's long and glorious history.
This is also the season that introduces Catherine Tate as full-time companion Donna Noble, working alongside David Tennant's Doctor across time and space. And it's--against initial expectations--arguably the best combination since the show returned. There's no hint of romance between the pair, as they instead knuckle down to business, occasionally helped by the likes of Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen), and Jack Harkness (John Barrowman). And let's not forget the collection of monsters we meet this time around. The Daleks and Davros are the main attractions, while the return of the Sontarans proves to be a bit of a disappointment. But after viewing the series, chances are you'll be counting shadows around you, and wary of getting on the wrong side of the Ood.
As with most series of Doctor Who, there are one or two uneven episodes and some missteps, but the show is still unmatched at what it does, and even more confident than last time round. That, along with the immense rewatch value, is what makes this a terrific piece of family entertainment. Sci-Fi & Fantasy DVDs
