"Probably the best Doctor Who season yet, but ... ""This is probably the best season of Doctor Who yet. While there were a few subpar episodes, there were no stinkers. And the run that started with Human Nature and continued through the end of the season -- a run that included Blink, which should walk away with next year's Hugo award -- was outstanding.So, why isn't
24 hours en movies this item amongst Amazon's best sellers? Easy -- it is overpriced. It's nearly twice the price of most other DVD TV seasons -- Heroes, Lost, etc. -- even
Brothers and Sisters tv shows box sets though it's a shorter season. I loved the season
Ally McBeal series but haven't bought it, because I think the price is outrageous, and I'm willing to wait until it's on a better sale (putting up with my recorded-from-the-SciFi-network copies until then). If this had been $40 instead of close to $70, I'd have bought it in the, er,"" blink of an eye. """""
"British Banality of the Highest Form ""Five DVDs. Five words. Stupid. Inane. Vapid. Mind-rot. Pabulum.As has always been the case with this ridiculous series,
Brothers and Sisters on dvd the appeal of Dr. Who to the viewing public baffles me. Never has
24 hours series box sets this been more true than viewing this sub par re-imagination of an already below par television show.The equally ridiculous price of this DVD boxed aside, there's very little you could honestly term "genuine entertainment". Unless constant jokes about flatulence is your thing, mind you. The new Dr. Who is annoying and has an extremely bad crew-cut. Forget flamboyant costumes, this guy wears normal clothes. If I remember correctly all the other Dr. Whos wore flamboyant costumes. Those are gone. So are alien planets apparently. He calls his ship a spaceship, but it never goes to an alien planet in any of these DVDs. Then there's his spoiled and whiny assistant who looks like she'd rather be anywhere than filming this series. She also brings along an equally whiny boyfriend and a grating mother along for the ride. As for Dr. Who's aliens, please. You'd think that in 2006 they could at least do something about the quality of the creatures. The first episode has ridiculous rubber mannequins, the
seasons one Army Wives second has a plethora of bad rubber creatures: (i.e. a giant rubber head, a miniature little blue rubber one, a flat rubber one.), they must've run out of rubber by the third episode as it had zombies. What are zombies doing in a Sci-Fi series anyway? The most idiotic alien had to be the (again) rubber monsters with gas trouble. The British fascination with bodily functions may be humorous in the UK, but to the rest of the world it's childish and not very good television.Look, this show clearly has its fans,"" but someone needs to be honest to anyone out there who isn't and thinking of buying this overpriced DVD boxed set. If you fall into that latter category AVOID this ghastly re-imagination.

"Oi! Martian Boy!!! ""After the crazy, wonderful,"" "Fan-TASTIC!" roller coaster ride of <a href=""""""""http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JBXHRI"""""""">Seasons 1 & 2</a>"", with their "Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways" and "Army of Ghosts/Doomsday" finale's, it was almost inevitable that Season
Bones tv show box sets 3 would not be able to maintain the sheer excellence of what had gone before. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying
Boston Legal dvd series Season 3 is bad, not by a very long shot! You'll have noticed, I hope, the 5 Star rating, but to my mind at least, Season 3 didn't quite reach the same dizzying heights of 1 & 2, and the reason why is, I think, obvious... Rose Tyler. Her development, from London shop-girl, to time traveler, explorer of the universe, and killer of Daleks, helped drive the stories in a new more mature, more emotionally fulfilling direction, and let's not forget the heartbreaking finale on the beach in Norway! No,"" <a href=""""""""http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JBXHRI"""""""">Seasons 1 & 2</a> became the story of Rose - and Mickey"", and Pete,"" and Jackie! - much as <a href=""""""""http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001M3MXY"""""""">Babylon 5</a>"", when looked at from the perspective of the entire 5 year series, was the interconnected story of Londo and G'Kar. So, after all this bleating
24 hours dvds box set and whining about Rose, is Season 3 worth getting? If you've enjoyed the first two, the answer to that question is a definite and unequivocal "YES!!!" The new season gets off to a rollicking start with the now customary "Christmas Special" called, "The Runaway Bride." For me "Donna," the titular Bride, played by Catherine Tate, is the reason this episode works so well. Walking up the Isle on her Wedding Day, she's inexplicably transported to the Console Room
Boston Legal dvd box of the TARDIS whilst it's in flight; alternately yelling accusations and questions at the Doctor while barely stopping to hear answers she can't possibly comprehend, she's loud, brash, and obnoxious. Basically, she's the "Anti-Rose!" Her withering retort to the Doctor of, "You're just making it up, that's not even a real word!" when told that "this" is the "TARDIS" is typical of her approach, as is her repeated reference to him as "Martian Boy!" The episode also features the return of the robotic Santa's from "The Christmas Invasion," this time in the service of a far more dangerous and malignant master, or should that be "Mistress?!"The season
Army Wives dvds proper gets off to a good start with the first official episode, "Smith and Jones," which introduces us to the Doctor's new Companion, "Martha Jones," a medical student who gets caught up in the hunt for a vampire-style alien that's taken refuge in the hospital where she works. Played by relative newcomer Freema Agyeman, Martha is Book-Smart AND Street-Smart; so, once again we have a companion who's almost the exact opposite of Rose, but without all the yelling and verbal abuse dished out by Donna! With the entire hospital somehow transported to the Moon and taken over by the Judoon, a kind of intergalactic police force - "Judoon on the Moon" the Doctor quips as their ships land in the distance - Martha more-or-less
Bones dvd 5 accepts the situation and works with the Doctor to find the "alien" before the Judoon find HIM. They may be cops and technologically advanced, but they're not very bright; they're looking for an alien and if they find the Doctor first, he'll be clapped in irons and hauled off to a cozy cell on one of those Judoon ships for
Breaking Bad tv series boxsets transport to who-knows-where! Needless to say after being returned to Earth after many a close call, Martha can't wait for another adventure, so the Doctor whisks her off to meet "The Bard" himself in "The Shakespeare Code,"

30 Rock box set dvd played by Dean Lennox Kelly, who greatly admires Martha's "fitted" attire; but oh dear, what did/will the Doctor do to upset Her Majesty?!?!?! LOL! So, Season 3 gets off to a very strong start, but as a whole, this is probably the most uneven season so far. All the stories and concepts are wonderful as always, even if a few of them feel somewhat derivative, which is not a problem in and of itself, just look at Season 2's "The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit" two-parter which gave us some great Alien-esque thrills! For me, the most disappointing story of Season 3 was one I couldn't wait to see, "Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks." The story concept is great, possibly one of the most ambitious to date, unfortunately the execution fell very short indeed. To save themselves we saw
30 Rock tv show box set the "Cult of Skaro" perform an Emergency Temporal Shift when the Doctor opened the doorway between Earth and Parallel Earth at the end of Doomsday, for one last time. We then jump to 1930's New York and the construction of the Empire State Building, and who should be behind the project but everyone's favorite homicidal pepper-pots. There're some truly wonderful visuals in this story; there's something about the 30's Art Deco look and the new blinged-out Daleks that's
30 Rock tv series box sets just perfect, and the production team did a great job of invoking the look, feel, and sound, of Depression Era New York. From an army of untold millions the Dalek race had been reduced to just four. Teetering on the brink of extinction they came up with a radical, some would say "sacrilegious," plan to not only save themselves, but to breed a new Dalek army. Working in secret they kidnapped the destitute, down-and-outs, the homeless, the unwanted, and fused human DNA with
box set tv shows Army Wives their own. These Dalek/Human hybrids are empty shells, waiting for the spark of life to be introduced, and
Brothers and Sisters complete box set it's here that the Empire State Building comes into play. The building is going to be the conductor for a massive blast of Gamma radiation emanating from the Sun as part of an enormous Solar Flare, waking the new Dalek army. But Dalek Sec, the leader of the Cult of Skaro, has an even more extreme plan in mind; "The Children of Skaro" he says, "must once more walk outside the Shell!" He plans
House MD on dvd box set to physically join with a Human host, thus creating a true Dalek/Human hybrid, and a creature that the others will surely view as an abomination!

But oh, the horror... when the hybrid - which I immediately dubbed "Hat-Sec!" -
Breaking Bad on dvd was revealed, I was suddenly transported back to the bad old days of rubber monsters, cardboard sets, and cheesy FX!

24 hours the complete series The last 6 episodes of the series are simply
Ally McBeal complete stunning"", and are, quite frankly, worth the price of admission all by themselves! "Human Nature/Family Of Blood" has the Doctor on the run from a group of aliens who want to harness his ability to regenerate. Hiding out in pre-WWI England the Doctor "becomes" Human by downloading his Time Lord consciousness into a fob watch, and Martha is tasked with protecting him at all costs. The final lines of the episode, "They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old/Age shall not wither them nor the years condemn/At the going down of the sun and in the morning/We shall remember them," (from "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon, a commemorative poem written for those who lost their lives in WWI) is especially moving when seen in the
24 hours seasons one dvd context of the story. The next story "Blink" barely has the Doctor or Martha in it at all, and yet is, without a doubt, one of the most imaginative, inventive, and scary
dvd in Big Love episodes of all the new seasons to date... "Beware the Weeping Angels!!!" This then leads us into the three-episode finale, "Utopia/The Sound Of Drums/Last Of The Time Lords," which is quite simply magnificent! A new/old favorite returns and travels with the Doctor and Martha to the
