(Howard M. Kindel, 2009-08-05) Though I still have a few episodes from Series 2 left to watch, I've already decided that - in my view - this is the single best season of Dr. Who. I know that's saying a lot - and I know a lot of people would disagree with me. It's pointless to say all the stories in Series 2 are great - because virtually all Dr. Who episodes from all the seasons are great. I think, more than anything else, it's the character of Rose Tyler that puts this season over the top. She was great in Series 1; but she's almost sublime in Series 2. Plus, this season contains the single most poignant story in the entire Dr. Who history. Though I agree with Colin Baker, who reportedly said that "The Empty Child" (from Series 1) is just about the best Dr. Who episode; to me "The Girl In The Fireplace" from Series 2 is the most poignant. It's far from the best Dr. Who; the alien menace is almost comical in the way that some of the aliens from the earliest Dr. Who episodes were; and the story line does seem stretched a bit. But there's something so almost magical about the episode, and so unexpectedly sad about the ending. You get the feeling that if Dr. Who could have chosen a true soul-mate from among all the women he had ever encountered, it would have been this "Girl In The Fireplace." And then the two-part episode "The Satan Pit" shows the depth of the bond between The Doctor and Rose more succinctly than any other episode; he is willing to place his life entirely in her hands - that's how much he's come to trust her instinct for doing the right thing. All in all, this season is nearly perfect.
(Joshua Lucero, 2009-07-04) David Tennant's first series as the doctor proves a worthy follow-up to Eccleston. Geeky and manic, Tennant's energetic Doctor is quite possibly the most charismatic to date. Billie Piper returns as Rose and together, they take on some new monsters and old foes. Every story's a winner in this season, ranging from Daleks vs. Cyber-men, to the return of K9, to battling the Devil himself. While new viewers can easily pick up from here, this series will especially please fans of the old series. And don't forget, there's also a plethora of great special features, most notably some fantastic deleted scenes.
(Jorge Dejesus Sanchez, 2009-06-17) This Box set features the debut of David Tennat as The Tenth Doctor and all episodes are great!!! al 13 episdoes are good solid fun!!! the best Debut of any Doctor in the series. The Team up with Rose is as great as Tom Baker - Sara Jane was in the 70's, and she is back! even the Confidential is great here, if you like David as the Doctor, this is a must have...
(Golden Lion, 2009-04-26) I like season two because of the love story between Rose and the Doctor, ending with Ghost plane and Doomsday. Season two is symetric. It start with the creation of torchwood and ends with torchwood opening the portal too the parallel earth allowing the cyberman and void sphere to breach the current earth. The love tradegy was amazing. I was very surprised to see the quality of the story.
(I. Sondel, 2009-03-22) I love David Tennant. The second season is as good as the first - and Tennant is a marvel. "Tooth and Claw" is a great episode featuring Pauline Collins as Queen Victoria being chased by a Ware Wolf (one of the all time great episodes). Gatiss returns to write the wonderful "The Idiot's Lantern" (set in the 50's); "Love & Monsters" is hysterical; "School Reunion" brings back Sarah Jane and has Anthony Head (Giles from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as a baddie); "The Girl in the Fireplace" is wonerfully inventive; and the Cybermen are back.
