Smith and Jones is an excellent start to series 3. It does a great job of introducing Martha and her family dynamic, which becomes important later. It also is just fun. It brings back that mystery and excitement you felt in Rose, where everything starts again. The Doctor is still heartbroken from the finale of series 2, but Martha has lifted his spirits with her charm and smarts. Martha always was my favorite companion and her work in this episode really exemplifies that. She does so well and makes herself important, not just another scared freaking out doctor in the hospital. Her being a doctor also presents a very interesting dynamic, making it so that she can really help and prove herself in the eyes of the Doctor.
