AKA the Clyde Langer show!
Bullet point list with occasional rambling.
Part 1
- Sarah Jane's away for the weekend (naughty minds are convinced she's gone for a dirty weekend with the Doctor!)
- Luke having a sleepover at Clyde's is cute - it's nice to see them being mates.
- Rani's all inquisitive and investigative - go Rani!
- I love Carla! Hooray for another decent mother (and how refreshing that the two best mums in the Whoniverse aren't white!)
- Clyde cooks! Aw, that's cute! And he draws - really, really well! That's awesome! (I want to run away with him now. I've a feeling I like him rather more than is healthy for a woman my age, but it's OK, I don't want to secks him up...)
- LOL at Sarah's post it notes to the kids! As if!!
- Clyde's dad looks like a nice guy but the fact he left Clyde's mum makes me instantly suspicious.
- No, don't be taking your dad up to Sarah's attic, that's a bad move!
- He's heard of Daleks! Finally the Whoniverse acknowledges that everyone must know about aliens by now!
- This guy seems to care more about money than anything else. I can't see Sarah Jane liking him much.
- And now he's stolen the pendant! Ack! Oh and he's telling Mr Chandra what to do, and telling Clyde to forget Luke and Rani. No!!
Part 2
- Maria's back!! And without pushing aside Rani. Thank you SJA, for not being as obnoxious about a "companion" change as DW.
- Sarah Jane's sneaking around a hospital chasing an icky alien slug (who's nevertheless alarmingly cute with its three eyes!)
- Alan's got mad hacking skillz (but Martha better not find out he's been hacking the UNIT site or he'll be in trouble!).
- Sarah Jane turning up to help when the kids get in over their heads - she's the Doctor all right!
- Oh and she trusts Clyde to do the right thing with regard to the pendant. I love Clyde protecting his mum.
- Clyde apologising to Sarah Jane at the end, and her being so understanding about it is lovely.
And I'm totally shipping Older!Clyde/Sarah Jane (and Luke/Rani!) now...
*sigh* That was really good.
And next week the Trickster's back! Dun, dun, dun!!
