"Mr Smith, I need you!"

[hafital]

I loved The Sarah Jane Adventures! I'm sorry I took so long to watch it.




--I have fallen deeply, madly in love with Alan Jackson.

--I want to be Elizabeth Sladen when I grow up. How gorgeous is she? Jeezus.

--Maria joins Rose, Donna and Martha (oh, and I suppose Gwen, too, to be fair) (eta: oh and, duh, Sarah Jane, too, obviously.) in the Awesome Women of the (New) Whoverse. I love her! I adore all three of the kids, though, quite with complete abandon.

--Clyde, where have you been all my life??

--I'm not sure it's wise to trust Mr Smith after all that. He's just going to turn evil again! o.O

--There is a touch of Donna Noble about Chrissie Jackson, and therefore I have chosen to love her unconditionally. I don't particulary care to know what fandom at large thinks of Chrissie, or if any one thinks comparing Donna to Chrissie is a negative against Donna. Probably everyone disagrees with me, and that's fine. I've had more than my fill of the DW fandom's particular brand of feminism in relation to its female characters, and quite frankly I am fatigued. I swear to God, fandom, you are worse than Sylvia Noble, and how's that for a harsh insult. [1]

[1]The above is a knee-jerk reaction to the widely held opinion that Donna Noble was somehow not every bit as wonderful exactly as she was before the Doctor came into her life. And look at me, using Sylvia Noble as an insult when I'm quite likely the only person in DW fandom who doesn't hate her. sigh.

SJA makes me squee like a mad squeeing thing. fan_eunice and I watched with with calapine over the course of Chicago TARDIS last November, and Calapine was horrified when, after Alan pulled a skateboard trick, I realised, well of course he was a skater boy. He's my age. All the boys in the late 1980s were. And she kept doing the "But you can't be the same age as Maria's dad! He's a grown up! You can't be a grown-up!" thing.

OMG I ♥ LUKE. I wept like an idiot during both "What Ever Happened to Sarah Jane?" and "The Lost Boy". Someday, I very much need to write the story where Alan is stuck explaining girls to him, cos Sarah Jane's afraid he's been actually listening to Clyde, and downloading this off the internets.

I love love love how Sarah is a bit rubbish at all the proper mum stuff--but they are such a perfect pair, cos he vaguely sucks at being a kid too. They just make me glee.

It certainly made me very happy.

ahahha. Yeah. I may have, erm, did a quick IMDB search on the actor and I was all, oh man, like, *exactly* my age. haha.

Aw! I was v. nervous during "The Lost Boy"!! And quite heartbroken for Sarah Jane. :(

They do indeed make a perfect pair. I adore them.

I love SJA too. Clyde! Maria! Alan! Luke! It's all too fabulous for works. And while I do not adore Chrissie, I like her, and I think the world of the show for showing a noncustodial, nonmaternal biological mother who nonetheless is a good character rather than an evil shrew, and who still has a place in the lives of her daughter and her ex.

Alan/Sarah Jane, anyone?

and who still has a place in the lives of her daughter and her ex.

I was totally fascinated by how breezily she comes in and out of their lives. Also, it's rather a nice change from your typical depiction of divorced parents/couples.

Alan/Sarah Jane, anyone?

I wouldn't turn it down. *g*

The boy and I spent an entire weekend watching SJA a couple of weeks ago. We both loved it.

Sarah Jane was not my favorite companion. When she was with Three and Four, she was intrepid and curious, but she also tended to screech. Frequently. And her screech was really annoying.

I adore her now, though. The screech is gone and she's become an amazing woman.

Plus, the fact that Elizabeth Sladen is a gazillion times hotter now than she was a skinny twenty-something thirty years ago is a marvelous thing. If that's what 50 looks like, bring it on.

hee. I haven't seen anything beyond a clip or two of the 4th Doctor's era. I should really got on that Classic Who watching thing...

Seriously, she's incandescent.

When your ready to start watching Classic Who, I can hook you up, if you want. The boy and I just watched all of Seven over the last few weeks. He's one of my favorites and he has a great companion in Ace.

Also worth watching is the Key to Time series, which is Four and Romana I. It took an entire season. Douglas Adams wrote a serial called "The Pirate Planet" for it. Space pirates written by Douglas Adams, it's hard to beat that. /g/

I usually get rather bored with shows that are obviously geared toward children, but I thought The Sarah Jane Adventures was cute. :) Although, other than Sarah Jane I haven't grown attached to any of the characters. I like the kids alright but as with most kids they annoy me a bit.
