I'm watching "Frontier In Space" right now, and it is quite possibly one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes to date. It's fun, well written, cheesy, and filled with classic Who villains.
I also saw the "Sontaran Stratagem" two parter of season 4, and is now another one of my favorite Doctor who stories. It brings in some new and exciting ideas, and making the Sontarans even cooler than before.
Also, I found this guy's list of the top 12 greatest Doctor Who villains of all time.

So, who do you think are the best Doctors to date? In my opinion, they are(in no order).....
David Eccleston - Eccleston had an extremely alluring and fun charm to him, able to feel mysterious yet lovable at the same time. He also really had the serious moments down to a tee, especially in "Dalek", which, in my opinion, is one of the best Doctor Who episodes of all time. It's a real shame that he was only around for one season.
David Tennant - The current Doctor is also one of the best of all, in my opinion. He's a funny fast talker that you can't help but love, and always uses his brain in the best ways, especially when it comes down to hilarious wit. And like Eccleston, he too has the drama down perfectly, but on a more explosive level.
Jon Pertwee - A very suave and calm version of the Doctor that always seems to say the right thing at the right time, and always knowing what to do. He definitely gave the likes of the Master a run for his money.
New ideas in the Sontaren Strategem??
The biggest problem with that story is that it was a recycling of all the same old stuff they've been doing since Rose- I mena, it's bcoming a game of "Which celebrity newsreader is going to tell us the world is doomed THIS time?" That and that the Sontarens were pretty useless, once their opponents were armed.
You mean Christopher Eccleston, of course. Who was extremely good.
That was actually really good. Rose was actually not useless for once and I liked her more in this episode than I did during most of her run as an actual companion. As always I loved Donna. I did not expect the
Spoiler:at the end, so that was cool.
Bad Wolf bit
Can't wait for next week...
(and personally I'm curious about how the meeting between Jack and Donna will go 😛)
I've been pleasently suprised by the past couple of episodes. They've both been really really good. And next week looks awesome, but I don't really see how they're going to fit everything into 2 40 minute episodes. Going to be fun to find out though. And as long as it doesn't end with some form of turning back time so that nothing ever happened, I'll be happy.
