"Falls a long way short of Classic Who ""I grew up watching Doctor Who and was quite looking forward to Chris Eccleston's interpretation. I wasn't prepared for such poor quality writing, and it became quite obvious that Chris Eccleston didn't really relate to the character. Billie Piper has two facial expressions and is by far the worst companion the Doctor has ever had. The stories are mostly borrowed from such things as Pigs In Space and The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe. There is very little originality, imagination, or respect for the original Who concept. Plus, the monsters are extremely un-scary. Overall,"" this is possibly the worst season of Doctor Who and is best ignored. """""
"better than the TV movie from 1996 that doesn't mean much. The Dalek episode was by far the best. Why can't they travel to other planets? Earth is boring. The WWII episode was not in character with any Dr Who book/episode.This wasn't worth waiting for. http://www.amazon.com/review/R37PJA1J4IVS7F,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"
"Expensive British Triteness ""Five over-priced DVDs worthy of five simple words each: Stupid. Inane. Vapid. Pabulum. Juvenile.While this show clearly has its throng of easily-entertained thralls, someone needs to comment on the sheer Family Guy dvd set price of this boxed-set for any non-fan who Sanctuary complete seasons 2 may accidentally purchase this juvenile collection of what can only marginally be called sci-fi. Save your money is my advice.Whatever whimsical qualities this television show may have once evoked are long gone, and lost in a morass of stilted dialogue, narrow-minded scripts and excessive jokes about flatulence. To be fair, it remains true to its predecessor by keeping the one thing that kept this show from every being truly popular in the U.S. - cheesy rubber monsters. This re-imagined series of Doctor Who is populated by obvious rubber monsters. The first episode features living plastic (rubber) monsters, the second episode is a bevy of rubber monsters. A veritable cornucopia of them - - a spitting blue one, a giant rubber head and even a flat one made of rubber. Ridiculous flatulent rubber ones feature in the fourth and fifth episodes. dvd in Grey's Anatomy What is the British fascination with spit and flatulence? It certainly doesn't make for entertaining sc-fi. It's remedial.The remaining episodes each become more and more ludicrous. For a ship that allegedly can go anywhere in the galaxy, it never does. Three and a half episodes take place in outer space. Not even on another planet, but on the exact same space station. Clearly the BBC is reticent to invest in sets for this abysmal re-imagination. Visit some alien planets like the other high budget sci-fi shows.The companion looks like she'd rather be anywhere than acting in this series. The new Doctor himself seems bipolar most of the time, flinging emotionally from giddiness to disturbed. And what happened to the outrageous costume? That new look just didn't work for me. Doctor Who will always be rubber monsters and clown costumes. With all the fart jokes and spitting, this DVD Box Set will appeal to the nine-year-olds across the country.If you are not aware of this show,"" move along. There are better DVD's out there worthy of nearly $75.00 AVOID. """""
"Reconsidered...... ""I've revised my original review.The general quality of the show, the writing,"" the acting and the plots have overwhelmed my criticisms of the alien effects and I'm It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia dvds totally on board with this new Doctor.Long may he travel in that beautiful blue box. """""
"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 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 though it's a shorter season. I loved the season 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. Prison Break complete box set """""
"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, the appeal of Dr. Who to the viewing public baffles me. Never has 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 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 JAG tv series box sets 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. Save your hard earned money for better DVD fare. """""
