Television Review #5: Doctor Who Series 3

It's been a while since I posted one of these so I thought that I should.

Spoiler Alert: Spoilers will follow from here on out. Do not read this if you either haven't seen Series 3 or you could care less about spoilers.

In series 3, the new companion is Dr. Martha Jones. She is the prettiest companion in my opinion. Even though she is stunning, there's more to her than just looks. She's intelligent, funny, determined. Did I mention beautiful? Her mother is perhaps the most unlikable character I've ever seen on Doctor Who. You just want to see her die she's that unlikable. I hated her more than the main villain in the series!

In the season finale, we are introduced to The Master. In case you don't know, the Master is a Time Lord like the Doctor. He actually was the Doctor's mentor. The only difference between him and the Doctor is that the Master is evil. John Simm, the actor who plays the Master was perhaps the funniest a villain could be. He was able to walk the line of sinister and hilarious without coming off as too goofy. He was occasionally goofy, but not so goofy that it took you out of the moment.

Captain Jack Harkness returned for the season finale and I am a huge fan of Captain Jack. I love his character and his personality. It also doesn't hurt to have an American on the show! I have not watched his spin-off show Torchwood but it does intrigue me. I might check it out one of these days.

Final Report: Doctor Who Series 3 is a great season with fantastic adventures and a season finale that raises the stakes to a whole new level.
