when word come down that Christopher Eccleston be be replace as Doctor who to say the least I be hard to convince . they say that the doctor that you start with forever become `` you '' doctor and I will second that motion . that be say David Tennant do grow on you take it from someone who find out first hand . you have to judge each individual season on its own merit . so as to the episode themselves new Earth be a good way to open up this show the doctor in a most traditional role solve problem that other have never consider the solution to . I consider it the best episode of the entire second season . that be say the second episode tooth and claw be good because we get to meet Queen Victoria and see how exactly the Torchwood Institute be found . for that same reason School Reunion be also good because it actually reintroduce a companion of the Doctor 's from the old day Sarah Jane Smith . a meeting of the mind between the old and the new its pretty awesome . the Girl in the Fireplace be also a good episode it tell with a historical aspect -lrb- the Madam -rrb- but also the consequence of the nature of travel and what it do to those we leave behind . I could see where you would like rise of the Cybermen and the age of steel but the trek fan in I be remind to much of the Borg although the idea of alternate reality be very cool . if the second season have a weak link it be probably the idiot 's Lantern Television suck the life out of people be not my idea of a good storyline sorry . I never blame the excellent actor and the chemistry between they for make the best of a bad script . I know I already say New Earth be my favorite and it still be but the Satan pit and the impossible planet be also very cool . I mean a space station orbit a black hole what be not to like about that storyline ? I know people go nut about Love & Monsters and how funny it be but I never much care for the episode . `` fear she '' be a nice spooky little episode Doomsday and Army of ghost be a nice farewell to Rose Tyler . its always a shame to see a companion go but if you have to go this be a nice way to go out . Overall-Good season with a few misfire but nice solid entertainment
