Unexplosion?! : The Hand of Fear

[barkinmad]

Goodbyeeeeee Sarah Jane! I really loved you. Especially in the last few episodes. Why does that always happen? The characters become exactly who I wanted them to be in the last few episodes.

"Are we dead?"
...
"No."
"Are you sure?"
...
"Yes."

The Andy Pandy outfit made her look like she was five, but that's okay because she's adorable anyway.

I can't tell whether I liked this episode or not. It seemed alright, and had some good writing, but the plot seemed kind of...haywire. Like it didn't have a strong story that stuck together from beginning to end.

How did Sarah get her own K9? And would this be a good place to start watching SJA?

The next time I see you you'll be duking it out with Rose.

ON TO LEELA. AND THEN ROMANA!!!

:D I know just what you mean about the context of everything. I almost feel like I need to watch all the episodes twice, because different details stand out and you notice their connections to other episodes and such. Maybe I'll watch everything in chunks and then do a straight-through-in-order watch. Someday!

My notes from when I watched Hand of Fear literally say "I am SO confused" by about the third part. It seemed like the story had a lot of potential, but just didn't quite work out.

K9 & Co. was quite fun, though the plot wasn't very well-edited towards the end of the show. And S1 of SJA... yeah, I think it does run concurrent to S3 of DW, but it might also overlap a bit with S4 of DW. Cause Journey's End comes right between S1 and S2 of SJA... I think... It is *very* confusing. Sometimes this timeline can help, but it's apparently under a great deal of revision at the moment.

I look forward to seeing the squeeing! I adore Leela, particularly her fierceness, her inquisitive-nature, and her common sense. I think it's the combination of those qualities that make her a great companion for the Doctor!
