More on Sarah Jane
I would like to repeat that EVERYONE should go and read neadods's story "Wendys".
I am still just giddy happy. This is what happens when one of your VERY first crushes shows up again and is Just As Wonderful as when you first fell in love.
Aberdeen!!! THAT was worth waiting 30 years to hear the answer to.
The glowering, the one-upmanship, the giggle-fits!!!. And the Doctor telling Sarah and Rose to stop it as they point and laugh. At.
The Buffy comments of taraljc and lizbetann are spot on.
For Sarah, the Doctor always clearly mattered as much as was clear in "School Reunion," and I'm all gooey to find that she was as special to HIM as he was to her and as she was to me.
There was an interesting point at Wikipedia commenting that this eems to negate the occurrences of "The Five Doctors" or indicate that her memory of same is gone. I'm finding that I'm too giddy to CARE, as much as I LOVE "The Five Doctors."
Also...this is the first I've seen Ten, and, as mtgat said to me, I LOVE his body language. The way he stands, the hard edge, the way he leans slightly forward in deadly seriousness at the, "If I don't like it, it will stop," in the confrontation with Giles (who should NOT slick his hair back).
They did everything I wanted. They had Sarah call him out on not coming back for her, at leaving her in the wrong place, for breaking her heart. They had the Doctor be defensive--and honest--with both Sarah and Rose about, "Do you want me to apologize?" They showed us what she's done since, what she's still doing. Sarah still held her own, got to see the new TARDIS interior, yelled at the Doctor with the, "What have you DONE?" and the like, she tried not to have the emotional reaction about the "daft metal dog" with the typical Sarah-like attempt not to show vulnerability.
I LOVE her forcing him to say a real "Goodbye" and saying she can't come again, and telling Rose to look her up when she eventually and inevitably needs to.
I loved Sarah mentioning that she was sure the Doctor would show up when the spaceships were over London, and the hurt that he was there but didn't call.
I love the picking-up-twirling-"My Sarah Jane" (though she's MY Sarah Jane...).
I am beyond content, and very grateful to taraljc for the icon I've finally gotten around to uploading.
Also...how sad is it that my grin is still plastered across my face and ever few minutes I'm still just (literally) *sighing* with contentment?
