Army Wives complete

"I was disappointed ... ""With Series Five, at least for our family, Saturday nights were set aside for watching Doctor Who. However, as the season progressed, we found ourselves actually forgetting to watch. The stories were just not intriguing enough to keep us interested.As for Matt Smith, I loved him. He is cute and reminiscent of Tom Baker enough to engender a love of him in the role. However, while Karen is a good actor, I did not care for her character at all and I especially hated her too short mini skirts.All in all, I think I will purchase a couple of the Tom Baker episodes rather than the Fith Series. Hopefully,"" the next season will be an improvement. """""
"The Devolution of Doctor Oz dvd Who ""It's taken a long time for me to finally admit what has been obvious from the moment the new rebooted series first graced the screens in 2005, the "new" Doctor Who is pure schlock and an insult to the original classic series. I've been a fan of Doctor Who since accidently stumbling upon it on PBS since the mid-1980s. I eagerly awaited its inevitable return. But what came back was not a revamped, serious adult science fiction program, but a childish, poorly written cringe inducing cross between the Power Rangers and Lost in Space.The "Big Bang", the final episode of this series is emblematic of the failures of the new series as a whole. The Doctor is bestowed with nearly super human abilities and a near total fixation on his sonic screwdriver, which has gone from merely opening doors to doing everything just short of revitalizing the dead. The plot is riven with Sci Fi mumbo jumbo that doesn't even attempt to make any sense, complete with interwoven time streams that break all "laws" of time travel that the series has put in place.Nearly half this "epic" episode is filled with a rehash of the adventures of the current series and an emphasis on the personal life of Amy Pond. Its climax is literally a fairy tale.What has been most disappointing about the new series, putting aside its near relentless multicultarism, political correctness, fixation on the Earth, and soap opera focus on the Doctor's companions personal lives, has been its failure to introduce anything new and memorable. What interesting new companion has traveled with the Doctor, what new alien species has arisen to threaten the universe? Destroying Gallifrey and the Time Lords in the Time War was a questionable maneuver, (especially in light of the series continual story lines involving the Daleks, who were supposedly destroyed as well), but at least it opened up new possibilities. The Time Lords kept order in the Universe and the Daleks kept lesser species at bay. Who has arisen in their absence? Although there are vague references to the "Shadow Proclamation" controlling some kind of international constabulary, this angle is never explored. What's left is hardly worth watching,"" let alone reviewing. """""
"False short AND exceeds expectations. ""I own every Doctor Who available (even discontinued) so I've followed the old doc from the November 23 debut (delayed a day because of the JFK assassination) in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 1-5 box set which William Hartnell had parked the TARDIS in a London junkyard The Hills tv series box sets in order to send his granddaughter to school.The sets and effects were poor even by the standards of the time but the stories were most always solid and generally had decent science. I feel that this fifth season of the 'new' Doctor falls short on story and science.I have to agree with several points made in the Richard C. Drew review but maybe less harshly.The quality of writing is down a bit.Logic and science are often ignorned.Explanations are often thin (like how did Rory recycle).The 'love' factor where emotions trump science.Lack of origaninality shown by bringing back the same old revived bad guys.Big drop in special effects (remember the TARDIS flying through traffic a couple of years ago?).The new TARDIS looks too junky inside. Also, bring back all the rooms - could even do a show on it.The eleventh doctor... not so bad. A always miss the old doctor for awhile then get used to the new one. As to Matt Smith, I didn't like anything about him at the very first, but he grew on me. By the end of the season I liked him quite well (but a return to David Tenent wouldn't upset me). He just needs a better writer.Finally, I'd like to see some fresh stuff; new planets, new aliens, solid science, Married with Children seasons eleven better stories, an updated K-9 (like a robot that looks like a real dog),"" possibly a multiple-doctor story (that happened a few times before).P.S. I like the new companions. """""
"Monsters and Monster Dissapointment ""This is not the first time that a wonderful show has turned the corner and gone off the path. The last Doctor is hard to replace so I did not expect someone to try to be him. The new doctor is a good actor and appears to read the lines with some energy,"" but he just is not into the role. He has no expressions what so ever. Many of these episodes involve monsters and those are not very good. When there is mostly people involved the Dr. and the stories are at least pleasant. His new side kick is a twenty something who looks 17 and adds little to the show. Once River Song shows up there is relief from the slow moving slog through a season long storyline. In my opinion the last 4 episodes are pretty good. THe first 9 not so much. When paying $60 plus for a season of a show why do we have to be subject to advertising that is hard to get around? This season actually makes Torchwood seem like a better show. """""
"Just not my Doctor Who ""As a lifelong Dr. Who fan who is 52 years old, I have to say, this is just not my Dr. Who. First off, he's just too young. But, more so, he's just not The Doctor. He is a kid who is full of himself and clearly out of his league. I have watched every episode of this new season with Matt Smith desperately looking for something to like. I cannot, and have not found it. I believe that the writers are going back to the original plan in writing the story for children this time around. It's sad, because David Tennant was One Tree Hill 7 dvd an excellent doctor. As was Christopher Eccelston, and all who came before him. I even liked the Peter Cushing doctor, and the Paul McGann Dr. as well. I know many fans liked neither. I feel I am a true fan. I loved William Hartnell and the so called clown Patrick Troughton. Though, to this day, Jon Pertwee is my favorite, Tom Baker second, and Chris E. third, then David Tennant. There has not been one story with Matt Smith that I have felt worthy of wanting to own.{****Spoiler Alert**** Read on at your own risk} The final episode as pointed out by another reviewer just wipes out the whole story of the Matt Smith's first season, what a cop-out. That in itself is the kookiest (for lack of a better term) choice the writers ever could have made. The whole was that Amy brings him back by remembering him makes no sense at all. I guess the main thing about science fiction that makes me love it, and always has, is the science part of it. They seem to have taken the science out of this season of Dr. Who with this particular Dr. I won't buy it, I have purchased most of every other dvd out there containing Dr. Who. I have all 4 of the prior seasons, and most of the specials, most of the dvd's of the earlier doctors as well. When the prices come down on the newer releases I will own them also. But, I doubt I would want this in my The Big Bang Theory the complete series collection. Sorry,"" Matt. You are just not my doctor. Wasitchu """""
"Packaging and content issues ""The packaging was a real disappointment in that it was cheap paper that scuffed almost immediately when putting the DVD case into the sleeve. The case itself is an embarrassment because the plastic disc holder is held in place by a single piece of tape that has come free a month after receipt. I'm hoping I can still return this.As for content, that is more disappointing than cheap packaging, which for any collector is saying everything. While the production values seem to have increased and the FX have improved, the storylines and characterization have gone back a step. While they seem slightly interesting while watching them, they do not have the sweetheart characterization needed for repeat viewing. I won't be pulling this out on a whim like I do the previous four seasons. It seems to me that Moffat has cached a couple of great episodes into a fantastic ego trip. In the extras he talks about how great his Weeping Angels are but he doesn't seem to realize that the actress who played Sally deserves half the credit because it was her reaction to the situation that gripped the viewer, not the statues. Great lines AND a great actress made that episode great. That doesn't translate to this season, but to be fair it wasn't because of the acting. Matt Smith has a good Doctor but the poor man has to deal with too many ad absurdum one-liners that distance his character from the viewer. Karen Gillan is ok but has more leg than talent, "I'm dressed for Rio!" seems to be a poor excuse to keep her dressed teen-skimpy.After seeing this,"" I won't be getting the Christmas Special or the next season unless they great outrageously rave reviews.
