Very well done.

Thank you. Seeing Sarah-Jane in School Reunion brought back so many memories of Classic Who. I guess this is my tribute to her.

A beautiful insight of SarahJane emotions during the episode. I love the bittersweet feelings in it.

Thank you! It mus have been so hard for her to see how easily the Doctor had moved on after leaving her behind.

I didn't like the way RTD made it look like the Doctor "dumped" Sarah Jane. Anyway, the Doctors reaction to seeing her for the first time after so many years was nice.

It was, he was certainly surprised.

However they parted company (and I don't remember because I haven't seen any fourth Doctor episodes in decades), it's only natural for Sarah Jane to feel that she'd been abandoned and left behind, even if it was her own choice, because letting go of something so wonderful has got to be hard.

Thank you.

I know that Sarah Jane asked to be taken home temporarily. She explained it in "School Reunion".

She thought he was coming back for her. But you know how the Doctor is. By the end of the episode she has closure because at least she knows what happened to him. She just didn't expect it to end that soon.

It was the insinuation that Sarah Jane had a crush like Martha did on the Doctor. I don't think it was like that. Sure they were close. He referred to her as his best friend. He did not refer to a champion that way until Donna.

RTD just wanted to make some "cat fight" between Sarah Jane and Rose.

Thanks for the reminder! I should do a re-watch but I never seem to have time.

That's why I said Sarah Jane envied Rose, she wishes she could be the one still adventuring. Mostly, the Doctor and his companion ARE simply two friends travelling and exploring together. Sarah Jane misses that while Rose has it all before her. The Doctor has easily found someone else to show the universe to, SJ is no longer the one who gets to share it.
