Summary: "I'm Sorry, I'm SO Sorry,......"
Comment: that David Tennant has stepped down after next year's periodic specials.
My family and I were vacationing in England and just happenned to turn on the telly when 'Stolen Earth' was being broadcast. Of course, it is a TBC story, and as we were leaving the UK before the week was out, we thought we would miss the second half- only to discover 'Journey's End' was broadcast the next night! I finally received this box set we were able to view the conclusion after five months of waiting.
All I can say about Tennant's Doctor is he is POSITIVELY BRILLIANT!!!!! I was a fan from the Tom Baker days, and after college pretty much forgot about the Doctor until this past July.
The difference in special effects, stories, casting and overall packaging of the show is the difference between the original Flash Gordon B/W films and Star Trek TNG- not to say the Who series suffered terribly from low budgets- the stories and the characters were what really caught you, wasn't it then?- but it was great to see modern CGI effects and a bigger budget for sets and music elevating the Doctor series to its present glorious heights.
Solid writing, great callbacks to earlier series, and just a wonderful exploration of the Doctor's character and his companions is outstanding- Only the Davros at heart can be disappointed!

Summary: Hands Down Best Season of Doctor Who!
Comment: Most wished Catherine Tate Stayed on after Runaway Bride; but alas she returns for the best written, consistently fresh stories of the series. Doctor Who over all 4 seasons have been the best in contemporary Science Fiction; Silence in the Library 2 parter and Midnight stand out as stellar in this series, as well as episodes Stolen Earth and Journey's end. Davros was extremely welcome and well done; Torchwood and Sarah Jane return also with Martha, Rose, Mickey and Jackie for an extra thrilling, fun and exciting 2/3 part final.
Enjoy, thanks~

Summary: Brilliant!!!!!
Comment: David Tennant Is Brilliant! The WHOLE show has me watching certain episodes more than 5 times! I've been a fan since the 70's when it got grat each time. Now, with all the special effects, bringing back Sarah Jane, K9!, and current chacters is just brilliant! Espicially in the last episode of this dvd, just OUTSTANDING!! I wish I could meet Russell T Davies and tell him what a great job he is doing! I wish I could be on the show! I love outer space, and these special effects are just fantastic, keep up this fantastic work!! I never thought I'd be this much into Dr. Who again since Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson and all the rest.....Mike

Summary: 1 star to Amazon Intl. shipping fees
Comment: And what of us poor guys who live in third rate countries where the postal system isn't safe and/or run by thieves? The only safe way to buy items is choosing the option Priority International Courier (averages 2-6 days). But the total cost of placing and order thus becomes ridiculously expensive: For me in Mexico City: Shipping & Handling: $32.98 plus Import Fees Deposit $32.50 I'd be paying more of shipping and fees than the actual cost of the DVD box set and with this world crisis the mexican peso keeps devaluating in relation to the dollar (20 percent in a few days) Do you want us to download Doctor Who illegally from Internet? One wants to be legal but you don't leave us another option.

Summary: Already on the 4th season and no signs of slowing down
Comment: It wasn't too long ago that the new series of Doctor Who started up, and before that day, I had only heard of the show in passing. I gave it a shot, and coming from a clean slate, I found I loved the show and have been watching it even since. One of the things that really captivated me about the show was anything was possible. You could be watching an epic space battle one episode, then on to meeting Shakespeare in the next. All the while, the show delivers on comedy and even some drama, the show is definitely a step higher in that department from what I have heard and seen since I started watching this show compared to the original.
A basic summary of your average episode would be that the Doctor and his current companion(s) travel through time and space, sometimes visiting famous events and helping out the locals with and alien related problems they might have. David Tennant has done a remarkable job in his acting, always coming up with odd yet funny quotes to relate to the situation.
One thing that I imagine might turn people away from buying this is the price tag. Compared to most other shows, it costs 2-3 times as much, but if you are a fan of the show or even have just seen a few and like it, I have found that I have been rewatching the episodes over and over again. Now season 4 isn't out yet, but in my opinion, the show is continuing on as strong as ever, even with fairly regular cast replacement, most new characters I have found to be just as good if not better than the last.
