Hey guys!

This is an amazing boxset! Another award winning season for the Who gang. Best episodes being the "Family of Blood" two parter and the chilling "Blink" episode.

I'm going to get it. But not from Amazon.ca! I'm going to Amazon.com. They have it for only $64.99 American....which if you do your conversion, makes it around $62.99 Canadian (current dollar at 1.06 ) Now my question is why Amazon.ca had this movie available for pre order at $88.99 Canadian and now suddenly we find it at the price it is at now!! Somebody's trying to rip us Canadians off! :)

A pretty good 3rd series of the revival of Doctor Who. This series goes from strength to strength, before falling a bit flat at it's conclusion in the final episode because of the deus ex machina ending.

Tennant in two seasons has firmly imprinted himself upon the role and in the years to come, will likely be THE Doctor for a whole generation of fans, just like Tom Baker was to those of us who grew up watching the Classic series.

Highlights of the season would be the stories Gridlock, 42, the Human Nature 2-parter and Blink (a Doctor-lite episode that is a full 5/5 stars regardless).

But, one big problem and that's the price comparison... with the Canadian dollar on par (or higher) vs the US greenback, amazon.ca needs to explain to it's customers why this can be bought significantly cheaper off of it's .com site.

Buying this along with Time-Flight and Arc of Infinity, both released on the same date, from amazon.com instead of amazon.ca will save Candadians over $30, even after paying for shipping.

Lots of really good story lines. I really wish they hadn't randomly thrown the Face of Boe thing in, but it's still beautifully done. I could watch it over and over again. As always totally worth the hours I have to work to pay for it. I plan to enjoy it my whole life.

I have been a Dr Who fan since the beginning,40 odd years.The new series which started with Christopher Ecclestone and Billie Piper renewed my interest and now with David Tennant in the lead role it has not missed a beat and is as entertaining as it gets.Writer and producer Russel T. Davis
with the help of the BBC Wales Orchestra keeps the excitment moving along in fast pace that never bores.Lots of new ideas and stories but the old favourites The Deleks are still the Dr's nemisis.
Don't miss the spin off series Torchwood with our hero Captain Jack.
