Commentaries, one with MATT SMITH, as DVD Extras and Two Christmas Specials! Hurrah!
On 7/29, BBC issued a press release with the official list of Complete Seventh Series episodes and extras for Region 2 (U.S.). Both DVD and Blu-Ray will have six-discs, to be released September 24, 2013. The thirteen episodes (already released as Parts 1 & 2) are included plus two Christmas specials. For a synopsis of each episode and special, as well as the bonus features that have already been issued on DVD/Blu-Ray, check out reviews of the previous DVD issues. Season 7 has some really great writing. Sometimes, though, the shorter 45-minute format hobbles the story-telling:
Season 7 Part 1
Doctor Who: Series Seven - Part One
Season 7 Part 2
Doctor Who: Series Seven - Part Two
"The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe" (aired 12/2011)

Excellent and almost perfect
I pre-ordered this item 2 months before the release, which is in 2 days as I write. I have no problem writing a review of the product, though, having seen all the episodes several times through the wonders of my DVR. I have to admit that, when I first saw the episodes, there seemed to be something lacking in each of them that made them not quite up to par. I have since decided, however, that overall, the 7th is a good season. I think I succumbed to the hype around the episodes that raised my expectations. But, the hype aside, and some time between first viewing and now, the season is satisfying. There are just a few things:

1. The stand-alone episodes in the first half of the season, for me at least, are less satisfying than those in the second half that are crossed by a story arc. While many people criticized the timey wimey story arcs in Season 6, I loved them. So, the stand-alones were lesser episodes for me. That doesn't mean they weren't good or that I didn't like...
