OMG PICSPAM. YI love picspams! You can get me to read anything with lots of shiny pictures and capations. Loved this; I don't think anybody else could have come up with such a clear but concise presentation of history. And having faces to put to the names of a few more companions is always good.

This was Very Very Tragic and I get all wibbly inside just thinking about it.
Oh God, there COULD have been worse things than Doomsday! Stupid Time Lords! I no longer pity their extinction in the slightest! ...and now back to the picspam.

Sarah Jane is quite independent and does not make coffee at the behest of strange men in frills.
*giggles* But Sarah Jane, it's such a logical-sounding request!

Anyway: excellent Prelude. I am quite excited for part 2, but just with this I think you've convinced me to officially put the Sarah Jane episodes on my mental equivalent of a Netflix cue. Once I stop giggling at her early hair (how long til it looks like it does in the 2nd pic? Speaking of which, said pic was the first thing that ever tempted me to watch Classic Who, even before I saw 'School Reunion.' She and Rose really do have a lot in common), I have to admit that I'm really quite intrigued.

Not so intrigued that I feel a need to actually watch any of the episodes *before* her, but...you know. We're getting somewhere.

That's right. Granted, we do meet some nice and semi-nice Time Lords later in the series, but as a species they're still Those Bastards What Killed Two and Stole His Jamie and His Zoe.

I think Sarah's early hair lasts until Robot, her first story with Four. After that, she gets tossed around so much in the next serial (The Ark in Space) that her hair quickly de-poofs itself. And silly though it may look now, the hairdo does sort of make sense, considering that in The Time Warrior she was trying to look mature and professional and such.

And hey, the Sarah Jane stories are an excellent place to start! There are quite a lot of them, for one thing, and they include some of the best stories in the entire Classic series. Hope you enjoy them!
