Sarah Jane Adventure
Nov. 6th, 2007 08:27 pmJust seen the second part of What Happened to Sarah Jane? Also means I've just seen the preview for next week's ep.
Hmm. See, whilst I always accepted that SJA was seriously cracking good stuff, I was also enjoying the relative simplicity that comes with a show being, at the end of the day, aimed at the kiddiewinks. However, in all honesty, that is starting to be left by the wayside in much the same way as DW occasionally would spring moments of quite dark angst on us. The one sense in which it doesn't seem to be going too complex is that the characters aren't really dealing with angst/doubts from within yet. No-one has yet betrayed/double-crossed/etc, the threats have all been from without. To be honest, I do prefer it that way, I have enough torn/anguished characters in shows I adore already.
In any case, SJA is going from strength to strength at the moment - I seem to remember reading a while back that it had only been confirmed for one series, however I am hoping this is just a flaw of the imagination as I would adore there to be a series 2 :)
In conclusion of this latest arc:
(1) Maria's Dad FTW. He is the dude.
(2) ( Speculation regarding a gloriously cheesy SPOILER, yes, THAT one... )
