Since no one else has posted about the finale of SJA series 3, I thought I would. What did everyone think about it? What were your favorite part(s) of the story? My favorite parts were Clydge/K-9 oriented (cunning plan to use K-9 for cheating) as well as the lovely mother-son moments between SJ and Luke. I have to admit, unlike with most new DW stories, I was actually worried about the main characters, especially Luke. There's nothing protecting him from being suddenly killed off, particularly knowing RTD's love for shocking the audience. I really was glad to see how far SJ was willing to go to save him. It inspires my plot bunnies! Of course, one of the best and funniest parts was the ending. What an explosion of slime! LOL XD And the expressions of the entire teams face as they were literally covered in orange slime was just so... so.. brilliant! I liked the fact that they let the actors just go with it... no dialogue needed... just loads of side-ways' looks, blank expressions, and then Elizabeth trying to deliver her lines, while wiping it all away.
I really she was trying hard not to laugh as she was saying that last serious line about not killing the aliens. Oh, the things you do for the love of acting and Doctor Who.
I'll definitely be watching this story again, if for nothing else the humor of it all.

I still haven't managed to see this one yet, but will try to do so very soon. To be honest, I find Slitheen a bit off-putting, but I've still got to watch it. That and Dreamland.
Any news anywhere on whether there will/will not be a SJA Season 4? I have been hearing for a long time that S3 was going to be the last one, but I saw a comment on lj the other day that they already have scripts for the next one...

You aren't obliged to watch. I've either skipped, or watched at least partly on fast-forward, every Slitheen episode of SJA... Of course, one of the best and funniest parts was the ending. What an explosion of slime! ... though that didn't prevent me writing an episode tag with my take on the above scene. If you don't want to bother with the fic, here's what I was driving at: ] While I'm as amused as the next guy by seeing orange slime thrown over actors, in-universe Sarah Jane deliberately and knowingly caused the death of two aliens by making their digestive systems explode from the inside out, when having K9 or Mr Smith just shoot them would have been quicker, less painful, and considerably tidier. If that doesn't merit an "Oooh, nasty" I'm not sure what does.[

As far as I know, there will be a series 4. In fact, I thought I remember hearing that their ratings were actually doing better this series, especially due to the episode with DT. That might indicate they will be a main stay.

I hope so, because I've enjoyed this series even more than I did the last one; there have been some great stories this time round.
Still haven't watched the Slitheen one, though...
