Watching The Ark in Space and sniffling.

RIP, Elisabeth Sladen.

This news felt like a punch in the gut. I don't think Doctor Who as we know it today would exist without Liz Sladen's Sarah Jane. She was the Doctor's partner in crime in a way that really hadn't been done before and was my favorite of Four's companions (no slight to Leela and Romana, both of whom I love desperately.) It's obvious in every frame just how fond Tom Baker's mercurial madman is of his Sarah Jane.

Goodbye, Sarah. Say hello to the Brig for the rest of us.

(I wonder if they'll do an episode. They'll almost have to, don't you think? Sarah leaves such a hole in the Doctor Who universe. God, just thinking about Martha or Mickey calling the Doctor with the news.)

62. Fuck cancer. (Apologies for the language. But seriously, fuck cancer.)

Let's have a meme (grabbed from musesfool: Name me a character! I will tell you:

* How I FEEEEEL about this character
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character - NB: I'm taking this as meaning platonic BFFs or hetero lifemates or whatever
* My unpopular opinion about this character
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Any character! If I don't know them I'll just make stuff up.:)

That's it. I'm starting the Angsty Fic of Angst tonight. It has been decided.
