Fear Her - Whoa, it's like "It's a Good Life" from The Twilight Zone meets Dr Who. It's not creepy like Idiot's Lantern, but it's still an interesting one. My biggest issue is really how hokey the last act gets, especially with the way the alien just flies out of the girl. Also, the girl's acting was not exactly stellar, but it's a child, so meh, whatch'a going to do? I wish we had actually gotten to see the father drawing walking around though. That would have been cool.
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday - Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!!! I love that scene. This entire story is just amazing. The second best story of the season. I never tire of watching the Daleks and Cybermen debate who is the superior species. Also, the Cybermen just marching down the street is very reminiscent to The Invasion from Troughton's era. The only thing I don't get is how no one at Torchwood knows who the Daleks are when they have invaded the Earth multiple times. Well, whatever, that is such a miniscule flaw that it's nothing more than a nitpick. Another favorite scene of mine is when the lady is going to have them activate the ghosts and the Doctor just grabs and chair and sits. I'm surprised he just didn't grab some magical popcorn or something to add to the scene.
The ending is quite sad, at least until the Donna scene at the end breaks the immersion. I know they were doing it on purpose to lead into the Xmas special, but seriously? By this point people were going to tune in, so ending it like that was not cool.
Overall, it was a blast to revisit this season after so long. Of course, doing so also meant that it wasn't the perfection I quite thought it was as it has a shaky start and features one of the worst episodes of the franchise in the second half. Nevertheless, this is without a doubt the best season since Tom Baker's third and Tennant was just a joy to watch, espeecially once he found his footing. I'm sad to see Rose go, as I felt they could have gotten one more season out of her, but hey, that's just how the cookie crumbles.
My ranking for this season would follow:
1. The Girl in the Fire Place
2. Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
3. Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel
4. The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
5. School Reunion
6. Tooth and Claw
7. The Idiot's Lantern
8. Fear Her
9. The Christmas Invasion
10. New Earth
11. Love and Monsters
Can't wait to start Season 3 up, but it's going to have to wait a week or so for me to finish up some other series. Plus, I'm thinking about rewatching Torchwood too.
