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. : )

Is it bad that I'm more excited to see SJA nowadays than I am to see the main show?

Also: that sneaky little crossover is AWESOME. Even if the idea of Sherlock and the Doctor existing in the same universe does slightly terrify me.

(I thought I had a SJS icon, but it seems ot have gone walkabout. Hmm.)

Given how dark the set was at that point, I'm amazed anyone even spotted Lavinia's book!

With all the SJA stuff that's been pouring out this week, the amount of excitement I've been feeling has been riaisng to LUDICROUS levels. I've been watching trailers on repeat during various intervals of the day XD. I don't think I'm quite as pumped as I was for "The Big Bang", just because waiting for "The Big Bang" meant waiting for the resolution to that killer cliffhanger (of course, that was more like nail-biting anticipation, not bouncing-up-and-down-with-glee anticipation), but I'm definitely more excited for this than I was for "The Pandorica Opens". I had this ridiculous grin on my face the second I heard "Hello Sarah Jane"on one trailer, and it hasn't gone away yet.

I saw that post about Lavina Smith's book! Oh my god, that's awesome! Nice job of Moffat or whoever decorated that set connecting the Sherlock universe with the Doctor Who one somehow XD. I do have a question though, I know that it doesn't make sense to be anything else but do we know for sure that was a prop made for SJA? Hopefully it will make an appearance, or someone will find an old screencap that actually has that book in it.
