Doctor Who: The complete seventh series, September 24th
This Blu-ray set will be available September the 24th, and this set features all 13 episodes of Series 7 as well as two Christmas Specials: *2011 Christmas Special: The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe *Asylum of the Daleks *Dinosaurs On A Spaceship *A Town Called Mercy *The Power of Three *The Angels Take Manhattan *2012 Christmas Special: The Snowmen *The Bells of Saint John *The Rings of Akhaten *Cold War *Hide *Journey To The Center of The TARDIS *The Crimson Horror *Nightmare in Silver (The Last Cyberman) *The Name of The Doctor This set also has the following special features: *Audio Commentaries *Behind the scenes featurettes *Episode Prequels *Doctor Who on the Nerdist *Doctor Who in the U.S. *Last Days of the Ponds *Pond Life *The science of Doctor Who *The Companions *Doctor Who at Comic Con *NOTE* This set is more slim than the previously released series 5 and 6. Aside from being slimmer, the slip case fits very tightly around the trifold that houses the discs. I have to leave my set protruding slightly from the slip case or it would take few minutes before I could shake it free. Not a big issue, but not the same exact design used in the series 5 and 6 releases. The special features are set up the same way as the last two series, a few bits of supplemental material per disc. There is an insert pamphlet with Doctor Who merchandise. The first trifold houses the episode listing and supplemental material breakdown just as the complete sets for series 5 and 6 have. So this set aesthetically looks in line with the series 5 and 6 sets, just fits tighter due to being slimmer. Overall I am happy with this set and its design. I know some people have complained about the beginning of this series, my only complaint was with "The Angels Take Manhattan" episode, and in large part because it reminded me of Ghostbusters 2 (The worst sequel in the history of film sequels) because of the Statue Of Liberty Angel. A small complaint and not really a valid complaint at that, I actually liked this episode quite a bit. I think this is the best series to date (I realize a lot of fans will disagree and I perfectly understand). I think Clara "Oswin" Oswald is a much better companion to the Doctor than Amy Pond was. That being said, I am extremely happy with the direction of the character arc for Amy and Rory. A couple as the Companion to the Doctor and their struggle to maintain a life of normalcy when apart from the Doctor I thought was a really cool concept, and very well executed. Steven Moffat is a brilliant writer, and I loved spending the first part of this series wrapping up Amy and Rory's story and the second part of this series with my new favorite Companion, Clara. I personally liked the second half of series 7 even more so than the first half. My favorite episodes were "Asylum of the Daleks" and "Cold War". I also liked the Christmas special "The Snowmen" mainly because I watched it Christmas day and I think it's the best one they've done so far, plus I like Strax a lot. This is the last series with Matt Smith as the Doctor (aside from the upcoming 50th anniversary special and the 2013 Christmas special) and I will miss him. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
