Narrative:

We were flying to ile and a lot of WX around dfw, en route and ile area. We were heading, as assigned by ATC, 190 degrees. Iresh OM was west of our position and we were heading for a pretty good sized thunderstorm. Communicated to my first officer to ask ATC (gray approach) if they were going to turn us towards iresh (first officer did not mention to gray why we wanted to turn) and gray said turn right heading 270 degrees direct iresh cleared ILS runway 1 approach into ile. Gray did not tell us how far we were from iresh, so I turned up marker volume and we were very close. I configured for landing and we blew through localizer. We were high as well. We cut back to right to correct and gray wanted to know what we were doing and we told them we were trying to catch localizer. We caught localizer and then I started my descent. We were still high and at this point I felt that approach did not meet stabilized approach criteria and I elected to go around. We did and came back and landed without any further problems. I feel that I probably should not have accepted the approach, or should have done the full approach procedure.

Narrative: WE WERE FLYING TO ILE AND A LOT OF WX AROUND DFW, ENRTE AND ILE AREA. WE WERE HDG, AS ASSIGNED BY ATC, 190 DEGS. IRESH OM WAS W OF OUR POS AND WE WERE HEADING FOR A PRETTY GOOD SIZED TSTM. COMMUNICATED TO MY FO TO ASK ATC (GRAY APCH) IF THEY WERE GOING TO TURN US TOWARDS IRESH (FO DID NOT MENTION TO GRAY WHY WE WANTED TO TURN) AND GRAY SAID TURN R HDG 270 DEGS DIRECT IRESH CLRED ILS RWY 1 APCH INTO ILE. GRAY DID NOT TELL US HOW FAR WE WERE FROM IRESH, SO I TURNED UP MARKER VOLUME AND WE WERE VERY CLOSE. I CONFIGURED FOR LNDG AND WE BLEW THROUGH LOC. WE WERE HIGH AS WELL. WE CUT BACK TO R TO CORRECT AND GRAY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WE TOLD THEM WE WERE TRYING TO CATCH LOC. WE CAUGHT LOC AND THEN I STARTED MY DSCNT. WE WERE STILL HIGH AND AT THIS POINT I FELT THAT APCH DID NOT MEET STABILIZED APCH CRITERIA AND I ELECTED TO GO AROUND. WE DID AND CAME BACK AND LANDED WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBS. I FEEL THAT I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THE APCH, OR SHOULD HAVE DONE THE FULL APCH PROC.
