"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.

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.

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/
