Oh Doctor Who.

This such a wonderful season (and I do say that about a lot of the seasons).

First off, we have Donna back as the companion. I do love that she’s not pining after the Doctor as others have been want to do. And she’s just so delightfully snarkily–human. They really do play off each other well.

On top of that, we have The Fires of Pompeii, with both a future Doctor and a future companion (in other rolls), Planet of the Ood (delightfully creepy), The Doctor’s Daughter (actually his wife…), Silence in the Library (well, okay maybe she is), and Midnight (for such a limited set it’s so intense).

There are just so many solid episodes this season!

Onward, to the 2008-2010 specials! Man those can be a pain to find/categorize. I’m still not sure why they weren’t just considered season 4.5 or even season 5.

Onward!
