one week and counting!
7 DAYS UNTIL SARAH JANE ADVENTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very, very excited.
As for "Death of the Doctor," I think I'm even more excited to see that than I was to see "The Big Bang." I hope it's just as good!
In other news, an apparent prop from SJA has shown up in the bookcase of BBC's new series, Sherlock. The prop in question is a book, Teleological Response of the Virus by Lavinia Smith. Lavinia Smith is, of course, the name of Sarah's aunt, and the work in question is mentioned by the Third Doctor in Sarah's first episode, "Time Warrior."
I have a couple of responses:
1) It's way, way cool that this prop book was created for SJA. I haven't ever seen it on the show, but maybe it will show up in this new series? Or maybe it's always been lurking in the background in the attic, and we just haven't noticed it yet.
2) I like that the book has traveled from SJA to Sherlock. In fact, I now want to see it make an appearance on other BBC shows! Because let's face it, every series can be improved by an obscure Doctor Who reference in the set dressing. : )

Or that Sherlock and Doctor Who exist in the same studio...?
So, the running theory is that it's an SJA prop. Although wait, maybe it's a Doctor Who prop! Maybe it was in the background of the TARDIS console room! I swear, I want that book to show up everywhere now.
"Hello Sarah Jane."
I haven't seen that trailer; would that have been Matt Smith's voice, perchance? SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess my one fear is that we'll only get the Eleventh Doctor for, like, five minutes at the end of the episode or something. I want some real interaction, I want at least one whole conversation, and, while I'm demanding things of an episode that's already written and filmed and won't change now, I WANT THE DOCTOR AND SARAH TO HUG! There.
Oh, and the Doctor can hug Jo, too. That's fine with me. In fact, it would be kind of sweet.

This is THE AWESOME TRAILER! (also points to shiny new icon)
This episode DEMANDS hugs, LOTS and LOTS of HUGS!

Now you've presented me with a trailer-watching dilemma. I like to avoid spoilers, but I don't avoid official announcements like episode titles and guest stars. Trailers are in between -- sometimes I watch them, and sometimes I don't. I've seen one SJA trailer so far, but I've been avoiding clicking on the others. But look, here's this one right here, and it looks very shiny. And it has Matt Smith's voice in it.
Yeah, I have a feeling I'm going to be clicking on it before the week is up . . . : )

Ah, that's right, you're the master at avoiding spoilers ^_^ Try as I might I can't seem to avoid them, though actually, I know very little about SJA at the moment. However, I do watch any trailers when they come out.
I'll just say that, I think this is the best trailer (read: it's the one thatgot me most excited) of the ones I've seen and leave it at that.Whether you choose to watch it is up to you.

Great trailer! Except now it's even harder to wait than before! I want to see that episode NOW!!!!
And oh yes, the rest of the season looks like it will be awesome, too.
no subject
I really can't wait. I hope the episode has alot of past references. There was already one in the trailer itself so I assume there will be XD.
This is the first time I'll watch the show as it airs, and this series looks really exciting!

The episode is bound to have at least some references in it given that the last time Jo saw the Doctor was in, what, 1973? RTD knows his Doctor Who history, so sky's the limit on the references that he might have put in -- from Jo's husband to UNIT and the Brig to the Metebelis crystal to a throwaway joke about Drashigs, it's all possible.
