"Mr Smith, I need you!"

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.

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?

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*
