DVD Reviews of Doctor Who - The Complete Second Series
DVD Review: Amazing love story
Summary: 5 Stars
I like season two because of the love story between Rose and the Doctor, ending with Ghost plane and Doomsday.
Season two is symetric. It start with the creation of torchwood and ends with torchwood opening the portal too the parallel earth allowing the cyberman and void sphere to breach the current earth.
The love tradegy was amazing. I was very surprised to see the quality of the story.
DVD Review: Welcome 10th Doctor - Bartie Crouch Jr
Summary: 5 Stars
I love David Tennant. The second season is as good as the first - and Tennant is a marvel. "Tooth and Claw" is a great episode featuring Pauline Collins as Queen Victoria being chased by a Ware Wolf (one of the all time great episodes). Gatiss returns to write the wonderful "The Idiot's Lantern" (set in the 50's); "Love & Monsters" is hysterical; "School Reunion" brings back Sarah Jane and has Anthony Head (Giles from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as a baddie); "The Girl in the Fireplace" is wonerfully inventive; and the Cybermen are back. DVD Review: Worth the money.
Summary: 5 Stars
When word came down that Christopher Eccleston was being replaced as Doctor Who to say the least I was hard to convince. They say that the Doctor that you started with forever becomes "your" doctor and I will second that motion. That being said David Tennant does grow on you take it from someone who found out first hand. You have to judge each individual season on its own merits. So as to the episodes themselves
New Earth is a good way to open up this shows the Doctor in a most traditional role solving problems that others have never considered the solution to.
I consider it the best episode of the entire Second season.
That being said the second episode Tooth and Claw is good because we get to meet Queen Victoria and see how exactly the Torchwood Institute was founded.
For that same reason School Reunion is also good because it actually reintroduces a companion of the Doctor's from the old days Sarah Jane Smith. A meeting of the minds between the old and the new its pretty awesome.
The Girl in the Fireplace is also a good episode it tells with a historical aspect (the Madam) but also the consequences of the nature of travel and what it does to those we leave behind.
I could see where you would like Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel but the trek fan in me is reminded to much of the Borg although the idea of alternate realities is very cool.
If the second season has a weak link it is probably The Idiot's Lantern Television sucking the life out of people is not my idea of a good storyline sorry. I never blame the excellent actors and the chemistry between them for making the best of a bad script.
I know I already said New Earth was my favorite and it still is but The Satan Pit and the Impossible Planet are also very cool. I mean a space station orbiting a Black Hole what's not to like about that storyline?
I know people go nuts about Love & Monsters and how funny it is but I never much cared for the episode.
"Fear Her" is a nice spooky little episode
Doomsday and Army of Ghosts are a nice farewell to Rose Tyler. Its always a shame to see a companion go but if you have to go this is a nice way to go out.
Overall-Good season with a few misfires but nice solid entertainment
DVD Review: Enter Number Ten
Summary: 5 Stars
I was worried about how much I'd like the new Doctor, who was essentially replacing 'My Doctor', but it couldn't have been a more natural transition. David Tennant is just as wonderful as the Tenth Doctor. He brings his own quirkiness to the character of the Doctor, while still keeping some of the dark, emotional side brought in by Eccleston. Billie Piper is back, as well, as his companion. The chemistry between Tennant and Piper is equal to Eccelston, and possibly even better than the first season.
Season 2 brings back all the good things about the first and adds yet more to the Doctor Who universe. It brings laughter and tears and a bittersweet conclusion that will have you reaching for a tissue.
If you have any doubts about continuing on past season one, don't. Tennant delivers, as do the creative staff who have brought us yet another great season of our favorite Doctor!
DVD Review: Great Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this a a Christmas gift for my brother. He was so thrilled when he opened it and saw what it was. It arrived quite quick, and was a definite hit. I ordered Season 2 as a birthday gift since he was so thrilled with Season 1.
Description of Doctor Who - The Complete Second Series
Can Rose trust a man with a new face? David Tennant (Viva Blackpool, Harry Potter) steps into the role of the Doctor, now in his 10th incarnation. Following on from the phenomenal success of the first series, the second series is full of more thrills, more laughs, more heartbreak and some terrifying new aliens and old acquaintances. The Doctor and Rose meet Queen Victoria, an evil race of Cat Women, K9 and Sarah Jane, and the dreaded Cybermen.DVD Features:

Christopher Eccleston's tenure as the time-traveling title hero in the venerable UK sci-fi series Doctor Who lasted just 13 episodes, but he left enough of a impression on fans to make some wonder how his replacement, veteran television performer David Tennant, might fare in the role. As this second-series boxed set proves, the answer is: he's a near-perfect Doctor who combines the eccentricities of earlier incarnations (most notably Tom Baker) with a fresh and youthful interpretation of his own, and even brings a healthy dash of romantic chemistry with his sidekick, Rose Tyler (the equally charming Billie Piper). And their adventures retain the solid blend of thoughtful speculative fiction, pulp action, and quirky humor that typified the series at its best. Among the 15 terrific stories contained in the six-disc set are the "Children in Need" (a.k.a. "Pudsey Cutaway") mini-episode from the 2005 Children in Need telethon that showed Eccleston's transformation into Tennant; "School Reunion," in which Elisabeth Sladen returns as Sarah Jane Smith; "The Girl in the Fireplace," which draws together robots in 18th century France with a derelict space station in the distant future; and the season finale, "Army of Ghosts/Doomsday," which not only revives the series' most popular villains, the robotic Daleks, in a head-to-head struggle against the Cybermen, but also marks the final appearance of another series regular. For fans and first-time visitors to the TARDIS alike, the Second Series is simply thrilling sci-fi TV.
As with the First Series set, the supplemental features are plentiful here; commentary by the show's cast and crew is provided on each episode, and four feature picture-in-picture commentary tracks; deleted scenes and outtakes are also included, as are video diaries by Tennant and Piper, and a lengthy featurette, "Doctor Who Confidential," which covers nearly every aspect of the series' production, including the introduction of the Torchwood Institute and the return of Sarah Jane, both of which would be featured in their own respective spin-off series (the first in Doctor Who's long history) in 2007. - Paul Gaita
