Agreed. It wasn't even a very good painting - at least not worthy of winning a contest. The picture of SJ would have been awesome! Then Mona Lisa could have blasted SJ into her own portrait. The only problem is that then ML couldn't have stolen a Sontaran blaster since SJ would not have been carrying one.
- It's nice to see there's a realistic ethnic mix in Luke's classmates.
Is that a realistic mix for that area? Interesting. I was griping that there were only 2 "token" black people in the whole class.
- Am I the only one who thinks it's cute that Mr Smith's worrying about Sarah Jane's state of mind after her argument with Luke?
I LOVE the new closer relationship between SJ and Mr. Smith. Just like I love the rivalry between Mr. Smith and K9. I guess I just love Mr. Smith getting a more rounded personality.
Lisa says ( ... )

No, but there were other paintings around with weapons in them. Clyde's prize-winning painting was simply a plot device - a deus ex machina to give Lisa a weapon.

Er, no there weren't! If you look at the group as it's walking towards the ML painting for the first time, there are at least half a dozen non-white faces behind Rani and Clyde - quite apart from them two. I'd say at least half the class wasn't white.

I thought Mona Lisa being Mancunian was hilarious. Why would she be Italian; as she makes very clear, she's not Lisa del Giacondo. Then again, I also laughed at the idea the enigmatic smile was wind...
(And yes, while I understand that the writers don't want to get bogged down in old continuity, I was disapointed that no-one mentioned the painting had "This Is A Fake" written under the paint...)

Oh right, okay...

But she's meant to be Lisa del Giacondo - that's who the painting is of...
I'd seen/heard the joke about her smile being down to wind before.

Mr Smith, at least, should've mentioned it!

Hope The Gift is good because I am not looking forward to Slitheen/Blathereen.

That's the second case of ephebophilia in SJA that I've noticed - the first being when Mrs. Wormwood returns, and comments on how handsome Luke has grown up to be, while stroking his cheek suggestively. Of course, with Mrs. Wormwood, I gave that a pass because she's supposed to be sick and twisted.
Oh Clyde! Fancy worrying that being good at drawing isn't 'cool'!
Nice touch of realism from the show, since art is often considered an "unmanly" pursuit among teenage boys, and Clyde, as the son of an absentee dad, is often motivated by more than a touch of trying to "be a man."
Shame they didn't use Clyde's portrait of Sarah Jane from the other week - would've been a nice contrast to the Mona Lisa.
Agreed, even though that would have amped Clyde's embarrassment up to 11, since it was such a lovingly rendered drawing that all of the kids would know that Clyde has the hots for his best friend's mom. :)
LOL at Clyde trying to banter with the Dark Rider.Clyde is REALLY ( ... )

I would've minded less had they not gone on to portray Miss Trupp as so desperate for a man (although, Phil Ford redeemed himself somewhat by having her reject Harding).

That's true... I guess I just don't get the whole peer pressure thing because I've never taken the blindest bit of notice of my peers!
