The other 2 were okay. Usually precocious brats annoy the shit outta me but the other two were not that annoying this episode. I really thought it was sweet
that Sarah Jane finally had a "child." I loved that upstairs room. Was sad about K-9 essentially being written out of the series on that excuse.
So far I like this show. The kids in Britain must be more sophisticated than the spoonfed, braindead ones over here because this isn't the level of action you'd get from a kiddie SF show produced here. |

Russell Davies used to write for kids TV. One of the reasons he created this show was he thought kids needed an alternative to the usual crap.
The casting is very good. My favorites are Sarah of course, and Maria's hot father. I liked that they had an alien from the same race as a Torchwood episode (the alien who masqueraded as a woman and got together with Tosh), but they didn't make a big deal out of this, so people could just connect the shows if they wanted to connect them. |

I'm a huge fan of the Sarah Jane Adventures, even more than Torchwood, I think. Some of the later episodes are absolutely fantastic, and even though
it's for kids, it doesn't feel like a kid's show (save for the teenage main characters).
I like most of the characters, but I'm especially fond of Sarah Jane and the three Jackson's (especially the hot dad) |

If you wonder what was edited out of the Sci-Fi Channel version (so they can run a million commercials), here's a list.

K-9 was written out?? I loved K-9. I was planning on starting to check the series out on-line but with no K-9, I'm not so sure.

The men who created K-9 still own the rights and are trying to sell a spinoff show for him. They allowed him to be used occasionally on SJA.

I liked the episodes but Luke's continued naivete was annoying, It may be true to the nature of his character but it still became annoying as it was the
predictable way the plot developed. I hate it when a plot advances on a character's stupidity. I would have thought that he would have learned that bad
people, mean people were to be avoided, that not all people deserve to have questions answered, etc. that basic suspicions and cautions would have already
started developing.
Also, back to my earlier post that child actors annoy the crap outta me....Clyde. What a butthole character that is. ANNOYING. The deleted scenes might have had me liking him better, I would have made better connections about 'who the hell was he' and 'from where did he show up?' I don't know, but as shown I couldn't stand him. I couldn't figure out why someone who was so condescending should continue to hang around with them. Don't like them? Don't hang with them unless you're an actor being paid to play a poorly written excuse for a part. I like this show better than Torchwood. If Torchwood gets back to more SF and less snogging then I'll start watching that again. If it doesn't, I won't miss it. I still like this one but it has more to do with Sarah Jane, the neighbor, the girl and the aliens. Luke and Clyde? No. Let the aliens get them. It would be funny if the nuns in the current episode had a side nursery business selling garden statuary. |
