The Doctor takes Martha on her promised 'one trip' in the TARDIS. They travel back to 1599 to take in a play by William Shakespeare only to be embroiled in a fiendish plot of three members of the witch-like Carrionites alien race that wish to unleash a portal through dialog from Shakespeare's newest play 'Love Labor's Won' thus allowing the rest of their kind to bust through. Willian also seems to take a romantic interest in Martha.
I didn't quite take to this episode as much as I took to the previous 'Smith and Jones' for some reason. Don't get me wrong, it was still entertaining and I enjoyed it overall, but the whole scenario just didn't seem as dire as the aforementioned episode & this week's alien race wasn't nearly as intriguing. Lucky some great characterization is in store with this episode.
My Grade: B
