Damn! I forgot my UNIT Training Tonight!
The world was against me today. Fate intervened and conspired against me watching the Sarah Jane Adventures and I’m going to write about every single incident that stopped me.
1. I was told to be at uni for 11.30 for a group meeting…that was pushed back to 3.30, without me finding out until I got there so I had all that time to hang around. But it was fine as long as we were done by about…4.00
2. 4. 20 we were done by…it takes me over an hour to get back from uni.
I thought…if things go well I can be back in time. I (practically) ran to the metro station - with two minutes to spare before it got there. And then I headed for the bus stop…
3. In which everything and anything got in my way to getting there…people, cars…roads.
I got there in time for the bus (for a change) and I looked at my watch and saw it was 5.15. The bus trip takes half an hour; it was rush hour and a match day. I was never going to get back in time for the episode on CBBC, so I decided that when I did get in I wouldn’t touch the TV and spoil the end before seeing the beginning.
Moving on I got home, waited until I could…*cough* acquire *cough* the episode and then about ten minutes after Hell’s Kitchen was on it was done!
4. All hell broke loose on a forum I’m on and I had to deal with it alone
5. And I talked to somebody about the things that took place on the board (and some things I hadn’t been told) and that lasted a couple of hours. Though I did enjoy talking to her so I’m not annoyed about that. Worth it.
And now, I’ve finally seen it. Thought…it’s almost two in the morning. Worth it, I’m happy now, but fate really screwed me today - ok it’s been doing that for the last few months but never mind.
Anyway, 'Warriors of Kudlak' part 2:
Damn it Sarah Jane! Why carry a stupid handbag! It gets in the way and when you're running away from aliens and it flails madly behind you! You didn't have one in 'School Reunion' why now? Given you had a silly tin dog back then, but still...he zaped things. Its not like you attack things with the handbag is it?
And UNIT training? You never forget it? Classic Who Squee I say!
At times this part of the story was a little...slow I guess, not as engaging. I don't know why...possibly due to a bunch of teenagers getting out of crates...I don't know.
Ok, I love the 'Mr Smith, I need you line' but does he have to come out of the wall to that music every time? Come on, if it's actually the computer making that noise and it's not just dramatic effect in the edit then...the computer is big headed - if it had a head. And Sarah Jane was practically bitching about him with Maria right in front of him - can you actually call a computer 'him'?
Moving on!
OMG...that smile when Sarah first sees Mr Grantham in her house, I think I died for a moment. Though Sarah obviously picked some hints up from the 'Nuns of Kink' if she decided to tie him up . Maybe she insisted that the nuns tie her up that time and then made it look like it was all their idea. And why threaten him with the sonic lipstick when she'd had an alien phaser gun in her hands only a little while ago? What is the lipstick going to do if he takes his ear piece out?
Aww Luke is the hero again, though I really wish it had been Clyde, I think it really should have been his turn to save the day. Though, once again grat moments between him and Luke. He picked Luke up on his incorrect use of slang again.
And who the bloody hell stop and admires the Earth through the window when you in danger? They all did it. 'Oh men with guns, lets just look out the window and go wow'. I know that it's expected, they are in space, but come on people get your priorities right!
Nice twist at the end with the crazy ship computer. Nice touch, I didn't see that coming, but then I would see a fist coming towards my face so what does that say? I felt sorry for Kudlak a little when he was talking about wanting peace. And I know what he did was wrong but he wanted to go and make up for it.
Luke had his first kiss! Aww...but...right in front of his mum and nobody seemed at all phased or embarrassed by this. Though at the very end when he asked about girls and the car was driving away I'm sure it swerved slightly. Maybe he asked SArah about all the ropes lying about the house and why she keps the blindfold the nuns put on her.
Now...Sarah and Maria can be taken two ways. Firstly, Sarah should have adopted Maria - is there still possibly time for this? Or Secondly there's enough slash material (which I know is most probably very wrong) stored in all those hugs they share that the screen may possibly explode.
*Sigh*...rant over.
