So, if you occasionally check out my website you'd know that I'm looking to write reviews on Doctor Who episodes (check out the poll). I want to know what you people think of this review that I whipped up. Is it good? Here it is:

Smith And Jones
Russel T. Davies

This episode is a wonderful season opener to the third series. Everyone's upset about the disappearance of Rose (Billie Piper), but Martha (Freema Agyeman) makes up for the loss of the Doctor's old companion perfectly. Russel T Davies wrote this episode, just like he writes every episode. Perfectly. It's full of action that'll keep you on the edge of your seat and witty humour that will keep you laughing for hours!

The story begins with Martha receiving calls from each of her family members. From this we can tell that Leo is soon to turn 21, and that Dad's new girlfriend, Analise, is hated by Martha's Mother. After meeting the Doctor, the hospital gets sent to the moon, by the Judoon. Not long after, the Judoon land on the moon and charge into the hospital. They analyze each person, as they are looking for a shape shifter, who murdered their princess. Martha finds the shape shifter, Florence Finnegan, checked into the hospital. Her 'boys' chase them all through the hospital. The Doctor blasts the slab (leather thing) with massive radiation. The Judoon captain catalougues the Doctor and registers him as 'Non-Human'. He finds Finnegan, and after acting witty and stupid, she drinks his blood! The Judoon Chief catalougues Finnegan, and as she sets off the scanner, they blast her with their lasers! The Judoon escape the moon, as Martha revives the Doctor. He disables the scanner, and fortunately, the Judoon reverse the effect, and send the hospital back down to Earth. After many happy reunions, and an 'unfortunate' ending to Leo's birthday party, Martha flies off with the Doctor, and we all wait in anticipation of episode 2!

I give this episode a rating of 8.5/10!

Well... To be honest, no. I think the problem is that the second part is just detailing what happens, you're not giving any reasons about why you liked it so much. It's a plot synopsis, not a review.

Hmm, thought so. I guess I'll redo it and post the new one. Thanks!

When I change my poll, we'll see who's really Doctor Who.

You lie, there are no other forums! There is only
one and that one is the Dink Network!
All hail the DN. We're not worthy, we're not worthy!

This may comes a little late, but the review needs more about the Story, characters, and maybe a few things that will ruin everything for you. (You know what I mean? If you don't, then ask).

That 'review' practically does ruin everything. As scratcher said, it's more of a plot synopsis.

I redid my review. Here it is:

Smith And Jones
Russel T. Davies

This episode is a wonderful season opener to the third series. Everyone's upset about the disappearance of Rose (Billie Piper), but Martha (Freema Agyeman) makes up for the loss of the Doctor's old companion perfectly. Russel T Davies wrote this episode, just like he writes every episode. Perfectly. It's full of action that'll keep you on the edge of your seat and witty humour that will keep you laughing for hours!

So, what's good about this episode?
First, the Doctor is funnier than ever. He cracks so many jokes in this episode, and him pretending he didn't know a thing about Finnegan, had me rolling on the floor. Second, Martha is superb. The way she handles herself in this episode is amazing. And the story, now, the story is excellent. A hospital gets sent to the moon, by the Judoon, in search of a shape shifting alien!

But there are bad points about everything, aren't there?
First, let me say, the ending was a bit of a disappointment. Yes, it was exciting, but they could've thought of something better. I mean, the Judoon just sent them back. There was no screaming, no running, just another earthquake.

Apart from that one bad point, everything in this episode was amazing. It was a fantastic season opener, and I loved it. I give it a rating of 8.5/10!

I redid your review, so it's more accurate and cool, just like me. Here it is:

Smith And Jones
Russel T. Davies

This episode is a fun season opener to the third series Of Dr Who-doo-dee-doo. It doesn't matter that there's been almost 750 episodes - It's series 3. Don't argue. Everyone's upset about the disappearance of some chick who was married to Chris Evans, but Martha (Freema Agyeman) adequately performs the sidekick role in her absence. No worries there then. Russel T Davies wrote this episode, just like he writes every episode. By imagining if alien stuff happened and if we all got to watch it through our magic tellybox's. It's full of action that'll keep the whole family (particularly the young ones) entertained and a few pieces of humour that will keep you quite amused for the duration.

So, what's good about this episode?

First, the Doctor is funnier than ever. Well, almost. He can't quite live up to the memory of PATRICK TROUGHTON. But then again, PATRICK TROUGHTON was probably the greatest servant to the British Isles that has ever existed, so any comparisons to him are like comparing a beetle to GOD. David Tennant (The 10th Doctor) cracks a few too many jokes in this episode, which may start to grate on some viewers. Humour is all well and good, but seriously? Stop making wise cracks and get on with helping people. Second, Martha is superb. The way she handles herself in this episode is amazing (She does luvly acting yeah). And the story, now, the story is excellent. A hospital gets sent to the moon, by the Judoon, in search of a shape shifting alien! Wonderfully inventive! Well done Russell!

But there are bad points about everything, aren't there?
First, let me say, the ending was a bit of a disappointment. It was just... bad. You'll have to watch and see. I mean, the Judoon just sent them back. There was no screaming, no running, just another earthquake. Ooh, was that a spolier? Never mind.

Apart from that one bad point, everything in this episode was average to good. It was a decent season opener, and could only have been improved by better writing, better direction, or the introduction of PATRICK TROUGHTON. I don't give ratings.

Patrick Troughton is dead. Well, almost dead. Well, in the media world, he is dead. But, he should be dead soon. Wait, is he already dead? Cuz I know William Hartnel is...

Oh, and just so you know, Tom Baker was the best classic dude.

And, so you know, I would write reviews on the classics, cuz I like them. But I just can't get a hold of them anywhere.

And I gotta admit, Sabre, that got quite a laugh out of me.
