Solving a Problem Like Maria
I have a feeling that there’s going to be a once weekly love letter to SJA appearing in this journal, because The Sarah Jane Adventures, in a word, wins. The series seems to be getting better with every episode and I think I may actually love it more than New Who.
Eye of the Gorgon (Part One)
The only possibly close to bad thing about this episode was Mr. Smith’s dramatic entrance (good sometimes, but this time didn’t really fit). Other than that, close to perfection.
I can’t believe that there’s a regular cast of six and I like every single character. Usually there’s one I dislike, or am indifferent to, but no, I want more of them all. Even Chrissie, yes she’s self absorbed and rather horrid without noticing, but she brings the conflict, and with that something for Alan to do. And all three teens have such a wonderful chemistry with each other, and individually with Sarah. Oh, it’s just wonderful.
Love the three generations of earth protecting, believed-to-crazy women, Bee, Sarah and Maria all together. Bee is a wonderful addition to the Whoniverse, and Phydilla Law was brilliant (and quite the casting coup), I want to seen young Bee and her husband running around having adventures. Love also the message to kids about old people suffering from Alzheimer’s in retirement homes.
The nuns were incredibly sinister, and got the best line of the episode (nuns making Sound of Music treats FTW) and the Gorgon was effective. Far better than last week’s pantomime-like Slitheen. I do like how there’s a line of dialogue explaining why she hasn’t got snakes, so you put it down to embellishment rather than giving her snakes being way too expensive.
Oh and I just love the cute little things, such as Alan unknowingly saving Luke and Clyde and making an adorably bad nun joke while doing so, or Sarah deciding the best way to cheer up an upset Maria is to take her on a girls only alien investigation trip, or Sarah having a stash of fake IDs (Best. Roll Model. Ever.)
And a Sontaran mention (calling them potatoes as well!). Not to mention the sly references to the Cybermen and Patrick Troughton.
Oh, I love this show. So so much.
Though the promo person must stop giving away the plot resolution in the flaming promo.

Mr Smith plays that music to announce his presence. It is not merely soundtrack. I have decided this is truth.
Agree with pretty much everything here - SJA is brilliant.

That old movie they were talking about, The Gorgon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058155/), has Patrick Troughton in it (and Peter Cushing as well for that matter).
