DVD Reviews of Doctor Who - The Complete Third Series

DVD Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars

Having seen the other three series I wasn't sure if this series would live up to my expectations, but it has and I'm very glad I bought it!

DVD Review: Dr Who fan
Summary: 5 Stars

For anyone who is any type of Dr Who fan, these episodes are great. I used to watch the old Dr Who shows in the late 70's and these really bring back the same feel they had back then. I have now turned 2 of my 3 sons into fans - the tradition continues.

DVD Review: The final saga of the Master
Summary: 5 Stars

What was the Master hiding at the edge of time?

1. The master hid himself away at the edge of time to avoid the consequences of the Time War between the Daleks and the Time Lords. The Master admits fear of the war with the Doctor. The Doctor seems to empathize with the Master about the Time war.
2. The Master changes himself into a human to avoid being detected by the other Time Lords. The Master keeps time lordliness in watch but never opens it. Martha Jones sees the watch, realizes it purpose, and notifies the Doctor that the Master is a time lord.
3. The pocket watch becomes a junction in time symbol. The doctor also, used the time watch to hide his time lordliness. Interestingly the Tardis travels to the edge of time fleeing Captain Jack Harkness leading the Doctor to the Master. Without the Doctor, the Master would never learn his true identity. During the duel over control of the Tardis, the Doctor controls the Tardis limiting it to travel only beween two points in time -there is determinism here, a design. The Doctor is planning to win. The Doctor forces the Master to a time where he can use the physic network to win, use the people will, to gain power over the master, free will prevails. Utopia to me was the paradox, no diamond in the sky, consignment to a robotic sphere. Captain Jack Harness makes possible Utopia.

How did the Master form the paradox bridge between the past and the future?

1. The Master reconfigured the Tardis to be a bridge between the past and the future. A tachyon has the ability to arrive before it departs a paradox. The Tardis becomes a huge tachyon paradox. If the loop was broke, it would undo the changes to the future.
2. In the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords brought the Master Back from oblivion. The master was to be a weapon to be used in defense of Gallifrey. In the Last Time Lord, the Master is referred to as "YANA" - you are not alone.
3. Doctor Who says tell Martha Jones that the Master after looking upon the Vortex, infinite power, went insane, hence, "the constant drumming".
4. The Master returns to earth, at a time programmed by the Doctor. On earth the Master is known as Harold Saxon, prime minister of England. The master sets up a physic network of fifteen satellites for mind control of the masses.
5. When the rift is opened, 6 billion children of Utopia enter through the rift, and the Master order 1/10 of the world population destroyed. The Master wants to use the earth as a launch site to conquer the rest of the universe. The Master reveals himself to be a destroyer, an evil product of the Time Lords, "a drumming" call to war, since the age of eight.

How does the Master die?
1. The Doctor instructs Martha Jones to tell everyone to think of the doctor at a certain time and date. The doctor held hostage by the master, shortly after invasion. The psychic network amplifies the thought and the doctor over powers the master by sheer will.
2. Lucy Saxon shoots the Master. The Master is the doctor's responsibility. The Master knows he will be a prisoner in the Tardis for eternity. The Master refuses to regenerate and dies.

DVD Review: Dr. Who Series THREE -WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars

David Tenant is an amazing Doctor Who! I liked Christopher Eccleston int he first season, but now three seasons later - David is the man! Sonic Screwdriver and all!

This season has one of the best epsiodes ever - and I would recomend the entire series for this one epsiode.

"BLINK" - it was inventive, imaginative, scarry, funny, witty and frightening all at the same time.

Series Three is one of the best of all and if only American programing could be this good! (Battlestar Galactica excluded of course!)

The interplay with David and Rose and Mickey and and the performers Billie, Noel and David is just incredible. Not to mention Bilie's mom - actually getting in the way and helping the situation in her own weird way!

The production value of the show - from the special effects to the props, sets, lighting and even the costumes is far superior to any Sci-Fi show I have ever seen in a long time. It's just intelligent and entertaining in a witty way for adults. I still can't believe this is a kids show in Europe!

Season three is the best to date of the Doctor Who new series. The extras include David Tenant's personal video diaries of shooting various episodes. And his personal introspective on the show, the cast, the crew and the locations can be very charming and funny! Plus you get the entire seasons worth of 'Doctor Who COnfidential'. A great behind the scenes series airing only in Europe of almost every story and every location with interviews, technical info and behind the scenes fun!

I used to watch the original Dr. starting with Jon Pertwee and then each one from then on...but next to Peter Davidson (My personal Favorite of the 80's)- David Tenant is my favorite Doctor of the 00's!

Great for the whole family and packed with extras! A Must Have! 3-27-09

DVD Review: Hello Martha Jones, hello Donna Noble
Summary: 5 Stars

Where are the Emmy Awards that should have gone to David Tennant for Best Actor for "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood" - the best acting by any actor on TV that season - I was in tears - every single thing about the episode was brilliant; Steve Moffat should have won an Emmy (he did get the BAFTA I believe) for "Blink" (an episode many Dr Who fans believe to be the greatest EVER - with Sally Sparrow) - this episode should have brought the series a prize for best of the year. Still, there are more great episodes. Another favorite is "The Shakespeare Code" - great, great stuff.

Description of Doctor Who - The Complete Third Series

The third installment of Doctor Who is full of new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak and some terrifying new monsters. From the moment the Doctor walks into the life of medical student Martha Jones he changes it forever. In Elizabethan London, they meet William Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre while back in present day London, 76-year-old Professor Lazarus recaptures his youth with consequences that threaten Martha's entire family. And, the Doctor's sworn enemies, the Daleks, who have been hiding in 1930's New York, return with a terrifying plan for humanity.

Doctor Who fans concerned that the departure of popular companion Rose (Billie Piper) at the end of the second season might spell an end to the venerable UK science fiction series' revival were soon reassured by the program's third series, which is compiled in its entirety in this six-disc set. Not only did Freema Agyeman (as Earth doctor Martha Jones) prove to be more than a worthwhile replacement for Rose, but the quality of the series' 14 episodes maintained--and in many cases surpassed--the blend of wit, excitement and drama brought by head writer Russell T. Jones when he revived the program in 2003. Highlights from the third series include the Christmas special "The Runaway Bride" (starring comedian Catherine Tate as a temporary companion to the Doctor as he mourns the loss of Rose), "Gridlock" (the Face of Boe summons the Doctor and Martha to a future New York City to stop an invasion by his old enemy the Macra), "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood" (a two-part serial in which the Doctor changes his biological form to escape the clutches of an alien brood who seek his immortality), and the three-part "Utopia," "The Sound of Drums" and "The Last of the Time Lords," which not only revives the Doctor's greatest adversary, The Master (played by Derek Jacobi in "Utopia" and John Simm in "Drums" and "Time Lords") but also revives Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and introduces his new position with the Torchwood team. Supplemental features are included on each of the six discs in the set; chief among them are commentary by Jones, Tennant, Agyeman, producer Phil Collinson, and members of the writing and production team (in various permutations) on each of the 14 episodes. The Doctor Who Confidential series, which aired on BBC Three and offered behind-the-scenes looks at elements from each episode, is included in its 15-minute "cut down" version (as well as an hour-long episode that covered a live performance of music from the show by the National Orchestra of Wales and hosted by Tennant), as are several video diaries shot by Tennant, who proves as engaging behind the camera as he is on the show. A smattering of deleted scenes, outtakes (mostly featuring Tennant reacting good-naturedly to his own blown lines), BBC promos for all 13 episodes (including the amusing "Vote Saxon" spot, which offers Sharon Osbourne and UK pop stars McFly throwing their support behind the Master's disguise as a human MP in the series' final two episodes), and trailers for other BBC series like Jekyll, Torchwood, and MI-5, round out this terrific set. -- Paul Gaita
