The second season of Doctor Who on SCI-FI has ended with the broadcast of the last two episodes-"Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday." This season, we've seen the introduction of a new Doctor in David Tennant, the return of old enemies (Daleks and Cybermen) as well as old friends (Sarah Jane Smith and K9). The Doctor and Rose met Queen Victoria, and the Doctor got to light the Olympic Flame at the 2012 London Olympiad. Christopher Eccleston made a great Doctor during Season One. I really enjoyed watching him take the role and make it his own. I would have loved to have seen him stick around for more than one season. But now, David Tennant has stepped into the part, and he has been fantastic! Tennant has also developed excellent chemistry with Billie Piper, who returns as Rose Tyler. Also returning from Season One are Noel Clarke as Rose's boyfriend Mickey, and Camille Coduri as Jackie Tyler, Rose's mom.
Here is a run-down of Season Two:
"The Christmas Invasion" This story originally aired in December of 2005 as a Christmas special, and it introduces David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor as he and Rose return to London following the Doctor's regeneration at the end of "The Parting of the Ways." The TARDIS crash lands and the Doctor spends most of the story unconscious as Earth comes under attack by aliens called the Sycorax. Tennant's performance is what really makes this story worth watching.
"New Earth" This episode is the official season opener. The Doctor brings Rose to a world called New Earth, where they run into a familiar face. Zoe Wanamaker reprises her Season One role as Lady Cassandra.
"Tooth and Claw" The TARDIS arrives in Scotland where Rose and the Doctor meet Queen Victoria, a group of evil, kung fu monks and a werewolf! T&C is one of the best stories of the season.
"School Reunion" This story is heavy with DW nostalgia as classic series favorites Sarah Jane Smith (played by Elisabeth Sladen) and K9 (voiced by John Leeson) return. Anthony Stewart Head makes a great villain as Mr. Finch.
