Review(s): DVD Doctor Who - The Complete Second Series
FANTASTIC
David Tennant is brilliant as the Doctor. Taking over for Christopher Eccleston was no easy task but Tennant has lived up to the task and in many ways surpassed Eccleston. Tennant is a lot like the Doctor of old. Very eccentric, child like and full of enthusiam and charm. Tennant was the original pick to be the Doctor but contracted to another show Christopher Eccleston filled the Doctors shoes till Tennant was released. And again back is Rose. The Doctor and Rose have such incredible chemistry together. They compliment each other on many levels. Sarah Jane returns with K-9 in this season. She picks up right where she left off in a very touching and thrilling episode. No wonder she is the Fans favorite companion. She fits right in along with Rose and the Doctor. This episode sheds light on the doctor and his feelings for his companions. It shows how special Sarah is to the Doctor and also shows the tradgegy and pain being an immortal time lord can be. A great episode. Also back are the evil Cybermen. We see there creation in an alternate universe and what a thrilling episode. The Daleks also return in a battle of baddies. But what makeS this second season so incredible is Rose and the Doctor. And how gut wrenching and terrible a loss for the Doctor when she is sent into an alternate universe and the Doctor is unable to get her back. Not a dry eye can be had at there emotional fairwell. Leaving the Doctor again alone in the universe. This second season like the first concentrates on the loneliness of the doctor and the tradgedies he faces and through all the devestation and loss he still goes on . The tradgic hero. Tennant as the Doctor brings all the emotion and strength of this hero to life and is an adventure not to be missed.
Dreadful...
David Tennant's mugging doesn't help the tired, repetitive scripting. Apart from the magnificent The Girl in the Fireplace, a bland rehash of the first season. They would've been better off cancelling the series after Christopher Eccleston's perfect season.
I didn't think it was possible.
I loved Chris E's doctor. I thought, "NO! They can't take my doctor away from me after only one season!" I was distraught. I started to watch the new season with an air of "how can they ever come back from this," and "sure, the series has to go on...", but then, then I slowly feel in love. David Tenant has a way of looking into Billie Piper's eyes and making you feel like this terribly intelligent and easily bored demi-god is completely bound to her, and at the same time, is self-assured and full of life enough to make a complete arse of himself with her. It looks like, from their chemistry on the show, that they are having a party every day on the set.
And again with the snarky humor. David delivers it spot on. Why oh why are there only 12 episodes in a year? What torture waiting for the next season.
