THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES - S4E10: Lost in Time

[mossyfart]

If i had a nickel for every time a Whoniverse charecter lived through an alternate timeline because of a stupid choice, and then the older version of them fixes that timeline, thus erasing it to begin with, i would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice right?

Edit: Mb gang, at least 4 nickels, I forgor Amy and Donna somehow 🥲

[dandelionjack]

watched the mad woman in the attic. maybe i’m babybrained cocomelon brainrotted or something but why is this legitimately better than torchwood like?? or at least equal to it in complexity and subtext.*

but jesus christ… what a message about possessive friendship and the inability to let go — the parallels between eve mind-controlling the homeless people to do her bidding because she “just wants friends”, sam doing the same to rani (thinking she abandoned him after he stopped being her only friend, and trying to guilt-trip her into coming back) and rani doing the same to the bannerman road gang (becoming overly paranoid and gaslighting herself into believing she’s not good enough for them because they dare mention maria). THREE LAYERS of mirroring… “maria’s the new sarah jane” being salt on the wound of rani’s aspirational “sarahjaneification” … parallels with martha’s early-s3 complex of being unable to live up to rose, too …

^the ship interface is saying this about eve, but it can just as well be interpreted in a metaphorical sense: rani is a child trying to be an adult, rani is trying to become sarah jane, and it will hurt her. funny how the ghost of doctorification haunts the narrative even in his absence, it’s that powerful. The Doctor is a sort of memetic virus that is passed down from mentor to student, and although its intensity diminishes over time, it can still be fatal. gwen wants to imitate jack harkness. jack harkness wants to imitate The Doctor. rani wants to imitate sarah jane. and sarah jane wants to imitate The Doctor

^eve’s Not-Regeneration — proof of convergent evolution among time-active species? river song’s existence says “yes”. potentially, exposure to the vortex itself gives you the “golden energy emanating from your outstretched limbs” perk

also, from a lore perspective… eve’s species are fascinating aliens. a time-sensitive AND time-active people that’s not connected to the timelords in any way, we don’t see that nearly often enough! as for their backstory (being subject to a genocide as collateral damage because a race that can see the outcome of a conflict is dangerous to both warring parties), that’s definitely a main-show rather than kids-spinoff type concept. wonder what they were doing during the War, not the war on their planet, but the universe-spanning one. judging by the capabilities of their spaceships, the time technology they used is pretty advanced. eve may have been lying by omission: maybe the species that genocided them were none other than the residents of a certain planet that tries by all means to maintain a monopoly on time travel. they don’t like other species messing about with the web that they so carefully wove… ah, now THAT’S a plot seed for a short story in a faction paradox anthology if i ever saw one

Old Rani’s plot was also all incredibly 73 yards. the more i watch, the more i realise just how intertwined ruby sunday’s story so far has been with various callbacks and parallels to sja… it’s gotta mean something? something something trickster pantheon something somehow one who waits

*i almost hesitated to post this because the internet Hates people that analyse kids’ media with any degree of sincerity (im usually toeing the line anyway; the main show isn’t really Aimed At Adults either. which we sometimes forget)

I’m losing my mind.

Doctor Who universe ships - Rani Chandra & Clyde Langer

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Generally curious how the fuck the Bannerman Road gang are doing during The Giggle from the looks of shit happening in it so far.

[georgiacooked]

The next in my Doctor Who character sets. Stepping into another spin-off series, it's the Bannerman Road gang, from The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures!

Featuring Sarah Jane Smith, Maria, Sky, Rani, Clyde, and Luke.

and queen Maria ofc

[seed-rom]

The Sarah Jane Adventures is what the Chibnall era of Doctor Who wishes it was:

Diverse ensemble cast led by strong female lead with plenty of presence, that tackles some bold new aliens while revisiting familiar favourites, firmly grounded in Doctor who’s classic history. Kid friendly, yet enjoyable for adults. Strong pacifist, anti-gun morals, cleverly executed in a way that feels natural for the characters, the tone, and the overall story. Importance placed on family dynamics, with some light exploration of adoption, divorce, and being abandoned by parent(s), (and of course, found family). Balanced story telling that allows all characters to show off their personality and skills during an episode.

[fanonical]

the doctor tracks down rani chandra for a quick chat just to make absolutely sure she's not a harbinger of the rani or something

[felicitykings]

A hostage? I'm not leaving you here! I'll be fine. And if this is what it's like, I've had a bellyfull of time travel anyway. Go.

[poopy-pants-gremlin]

I feel like the one thing stopping them from bringing back the Trickster is the fact that The Toymaker and Maestro make The Doctor run in fear, The Trickster have been beaten by children on multiple occasions
