New Who Review for "Smith and Jones"
Spoilers behind the cut and in the comments.
It is always interesting to see how a new companion is introduced and how they act and react with the Doctor. Martha Jones is a medical student who is working towards becoming a Doctor. She has a pretty ordinary life over all but she keeps her eyes open to the world around her which is something that the Doctor likes in a companion.
I liked this episode over all. I thought it was a good introduction to a character that is supposes to become our POV character in the series. The villain of the piece is rather creepy but you do have to suspend your disbelief about her weapon of choice. I did miss the call on one of the monsters because of the photos made them look like another old Dr. Who Villain.
Not the best of the season, but worth watching more than once.
This had a Caroline Scare Factor of None. She watched the whole thing without hiding her eyes once.
I am grateful for new companions who are made of stern stuff.
