Season 3 Episode 1: Smith & Jones Rewatch and Discussion

Smith & Jones
+I love this episode. I think this is one of the strongest season openings of Doctor Who so far (although “Partners in Crime” is a very strong 2nd). Acting, plot, pacing everything was great

The one-trip nonsense, more than anything else, pissed me off immensely. Martha didn't deserve that - no one else, however, unwelcome they were, had to put up with that crap. Geez, even Mickey got a proper invite from Nine, back in World War Three

Excellent points.

Preach girl. I thought that that was complete bull as she was the first and only so far to have that pulled on her in the history of Doctor Who. Not only that, but that that nonsense Continued on for like 3 more episodes in? No that really pisses me off and then I start asking questions.

Yep Rose got invited on, Donna practically begged to stay (none of that, you're replacing her nonsense), but poor Martha was constantly reminded how less she was in comparison to Rose by the writers, fandom, and the Doctor...ugh my love/hate relationship continues

Actually it continued for SIX episodes - nearly half the damned season! She only got a proper invitation to stay at the end of The Lazarus Experiment...

Damn skippy and that as a black woman, and as a FAN in general is completely unacceptable.

Yes it is!
