Doctor Who 3x1 Smith And Jones | Full Reaction

The Doctor seems to have a penchant for "bring your Doctor to work day." In Rose the Doctor met Rose at her workplace. In Runaway Bride, the Doctor and Donna went to her workplace to get access to where the Racnoss were. And now in Smith and Jones, the Doctor is at the hospital where Martha works. Not sure if this is on purpose or just a coincidence lol. As far as character introductions go, this is probably my favorite one at this point.

Loved the reaction as always, cant wait to see your reactions for this series as it is a really good one and it has one of the all time greats in it

Anyone else notice that the doctor who was drained of blood by the vampire-lady was named Dr. Stoker? As in Bram Stoker, the author of DRACULA?

During the '80's and 90's, BBC1 ran a comedy show starring Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones. The show was called, appropriately enough, ALAS SMITH & JONES. I don't know if this episode's title stemmed from that. But it makes sense.

This has already been referenced, but yeah, the BBC is famous for re-using actors for fun and profit. Fun drinking game: take a shot whenever you see an actor in another role, and see how many you can achieve. So far, I'm up to 'Why is the room spinning, and where did I put my trousers?'

I've been watching Doctor Who since the late seventies, my Doctor was Tom Baker. Going into "New Who" with some trepidation I found myself pleasently surprised with just how good Chris Eccleston was in the role. However, Tennant's Doctor rapidly became my absolute favourite. There are some amazing episodes this season and an overarching story that is truly brilliant and for which the first seeds have already been sown. Great reaction again, can't wait for more. <3

The judoon are galactic police, mercenaries and bounty hunters. So, Mandos.

During the classic run The Doctor had a number of companions or 'assistants' as you can imagine. Not all the were necessarily human, from earth, were different time periods or a combination thereof.

So, Martha. Not sure how I feel about her yet. Granted, I've only watched the first two episodes with her so far and I'm sure I'll warm up to her soon enough, but man I miss Rose! As for this episode I liked it well enough and thought it a decent introduction to the new companion. I also liked the design of the Judoon and was immediately reminded of Rocksteady from the TMNT cartoon that I used to watch when I was a kid. Not the best bad guy we've seen, and pretty easily thwarted, but I guess the emphasis was really on establishing the new companion so that's understandable. I'm looking forward to seeing what this season has in store, I'm sure there'll be some great episodes along the way. Juliette, thanks for another fun reaction. Have a great day!

And now we meet one of my favourite companions! Martha Jones is ICONIC! Strong willed and a bad b*tch!! I adore her! Fun fact: you’ve already seen this actress. Freema was in the finale of S2 where she, in fact, played her now deceased cousin Adeola! I think after her performance in the S2 finale, production were so impressed by her and wanted her back as a companion! They then had to write into the story that Martha’s cousin was the one that died, so as to not confuse audiences since it’s the same actress but playing different characters!! I hope you love her as much as I do 🩷
