Secrets of the Stars, Part 1
OMG, it’s a glowy star… wow, it hit him.
Brilliant, he’s evil.
Constable Habib!
(Or whatever her name is)
Whoa, I totally did not see Sarah there.
Nice subtle eavesdropping there.
OMG, what’s with the Sarah Jane thing?
Nice white suit.
…Hes wearing a cravat pin in his tie.
That’s rather creepy.
xD She’s a plant
A vegetable life-form?
Hee, my mum’s a Taurus.
ZOMGS.
Aw, flashback. But why not of Three or Four?!
Pft, Sarah never loses.
xD EVERYONE’S AN ALIEN!
Psychic channel…?
Mr Smith and his theme song….
Wait. Is Sarah wearing a skirt?
Lol, Luke is being a lazy teenager.
Aw, not having a birthday has to be depressing.
OMGs, companion…
Dude, singing clothing with laser-zapping powers is Not Cool.
Kidnapping is illegal.
No, don’t make Clyde evil! D=
Physics!
But… physics must be physics.
Sci fi is confusing.
Murder on live television on every station isn’t very smart.
But! Luke has no star sign, so he’ll stop it!
Am I right, or am I right?

Did you see the first episode of SJA?
Luke was 'created' by the Bane, or some such thing.

Ah, you may be onto something with the Luke lacking a star sign thing, Kit. Why didn't I think of that?
Ah, Russ Abbot (the creepy overacting astrologer bloke) - as I said last week, believe it or not there was a time, back in the 80s, when this guy was just about the most popular entertainer/comedian on Brit TV. In fact, it's kind of amazing that JNT never stunt-cast him in some SIx or Seven story - we had Ken Dodd, Hale and Pace, and other then-big personalities of similar calibre. See; the things we watched in those days weren't all good like Doctor Who...
Liked the little clip of Ten - disliked the fact that it was him and not Three or Four, but I suspect that's because they don't want to confuse kids who have never seen old school Who ("Mum - who's that scary man with the teeth and the scarf??")
Anyway, I quite liked that - looks like next week we're going to have another "millions of people randomly walk out into the street" type crisis. People must be getting used to them by now in the Whoniverse...
Oh, and did anyone else grin mightily when they mentioned Draconia?

The "creepy overacting astrologer bloke" as Jjpor put it, kept making me laugh. Seriously... lol. Was he trying to do an accent, or was it just his randomly over-the-top Southern Preacher mannerisms that were throwing me for a loop? That said, I enjoyed this. Especially Sarah-Jane smiling when the astrology bloke was going on about stars at the beginning of his performance, and then being all *rolls eyes* when he starts into the glammoury bit. And the Doctor(!) (though I to wish there could have been a Three or Four cameo... hmmm... maybe we'll get some kind of pic cameo when the SPOILERS (though is this really a spoiler anymore???) Brig shows up later?? *crosses fingers*) Oh, and did anyone else grin mightily when they mentioned Draconia? Yep, a great bit nerdy grin. |

You see, now I want to see Draconians in the new series... Draconians and Ice Warriors and Sea Devils... maybe that'll stop them from rolling the Daleks out again (and I love the Daleks, but they've been overexposed and quite honestly I can't see them now without thinking of Journey's End)...

Three has all the best villians... Well, I'll see your Draconians, Ice Warriors and Sea Devils and raise you Magnus Greel, Count Scarlioni and, indeed, Rorvik and his slaver crew... Good villains, in fact, seem to have been quite plentiful during the 1970s...  And I don't know if I'd count the Draconians, or, in fact, the Three-era Ice Warriors as villains; they were more misunderstood noble savages, in the mould of Next Generation Klingons - of course, in real life, the ones who go on the most about honour are often the worst villains - WW2 Japanese Army, for instance... Although - spot my deliberate mistake ;D - Rorvik and co are actually from the (very early) 1980s. |

I suppose if we argued it, we'd be trying to top the Lochness monster with dinosaurs, giant maggots with the creature from the pit, derranged mad scientists with... other derranged mad scientists, the Master with... erm, well, none of the subsequent Masters quite topped Delgado. Some acts are too hard to follow. |

Yes, I think we'd have to agree that Delgado!Master was indeed the best of the bunch - never equalled, never bettered...
...although Anthony Ainley in the Five Doctors does come close...

PART 2 SPOILERS!
Part 2!
No! Constable Habib! D=
Gita. That’s her name. Oh, well.
OW! I just stabbed my finger. Sorry.
It’s like the Christmas Invasion again. Only by star sign and not by blood type.
Oooh, we’ll find out Sarahs birthday. Or some time around then. Or have we already figured that out and I’m just slow?
What… happened…?
It’s the same American news lady as always.
xD Lol at the President.
=D Classic ref! Sarah knows what it’s like to be hypnotised.
Ooh, totally seen photos from filming of this scene.
Hee, Sarah’s car.
Lol at Clyde’s lies.
Oh, crap. I’m Capricorn.
In short, he wants to be God.
Breaking the fourth wall much?
They’re to be abducted by aliens.
Because it’s completely not important at all that Sarah’s last.
xD Luke just has to touch them? That’s kind of a bit anticlimactic.
Of course it wasn’t obvious at all that Luke has no star sign and that would fix everything.
Lol, torch.
She should explain! Constable Habib would be an awesome addition to The Team!
xD You will find love in a Laundrette?
xD Clyde has no mobile.
xD Parent cook-off!
Ha, today’s my I Saved the World Day.
Preview:
Oooh, something’s evil!
OMG, CLYDE’S PARENTS.

This one was...weird. I don't really care much for star signs and stuff, so I couldn't help thinking this was all a bit cheesy, but I tried to put my personal prejudices aside and watch it objectively. And failed. I really didn't like it all that much. Luke and Clyde and Rani were pretty much awesome in it, though. And I'm starting to develop quite an unhealthy crush on both Luke and Clyde, which is bothering me because they're like 14.
