The Sarah Jane Adventures

[ssurgul]

Huh.

Yeah.

I loves me some Russell Davies. He truly has a visionary outlook on SciFi, and it's a wonderful mind that gives us so many wonderful twists and turns for Doctor Who and Torchwood. Now I'm watching Sarah Jane, and it's AWESOME that she got a new lease on fun and show, but WOW is this show built for tween girls. And thus there is a whole lot of zero-sense in this show as far as logic or reality. A kid who has the accumulated memories and knowledge of tens of thousands of people (kids and adults) is making simple faux pas in school? He can then look at a physical circuit diagram and determine that a computer control program is lacking critical formulae, when the code for the program is listed nowhere? Yeah. There's clearly a LOT of suspension here, and that's fine too. But it's turning out to be rather taxing indeed.

Oh, and Sarah Jane definitely does NOT do a 'good' villainous person of herself. Like, at all.

It's a shame that the actress died earlier this year.

She had cancer, and told nobody... just went about her filming of her last season.

Yeah, I was entirely floored to have heard about it while researching TSJA and downloading them. I was reflecting earlier this year on how ... startling it is to see so many actors/entertainers of note that have died from cancer or other 'sudden' illnesses. Sure some make it through life with no problems, but .... it just seems that the ones that 'make it' have a much higher probability of dropping dead from such things. Very not cool.
