Loading ...A good night for TV. Sarah Jane, Dr who, and Battlestar Galactica.
I can’t stand Callie. I was so happy to see that stupid breeder bitch fly out the airlock, I nearly peed myself. Thank fuck we don’t have to hear her whining anymore. Woohoo! Big hug goes out to Tory Foster for ridding us of the biggest annoyance since Jar Jar Binks.
Anyhoo… Richard and I are thinking of doing a bit of writing this weekend. I have 4 family birthdays I’m being forced to celebrate. Not to mention the 3 different jobs I’m working. I’m super-busy these days, but I’m determined to take at least a small amount of time for myself this weekend.
Buy me a beer!

As President Roslyn said, “Through that thing out of the airlock.” I too liked seeing whiny old Callie take a trip down the raptor tubes. No more whining from her (though to be fair, the Chief can whine like the best of them.)
Doctor Who was a lot of fun. Poseidon Adventure in Space, with the very talented Debbie Chazen playing Shelley Winters. Debbie stars in the variety show “Tittybangbang.” And no, I did not make that up.
And Sarah Jane was delightful as always! “What if I make more mistakes?” “Then you won’t make the same mistakes again.” I do like me some Sarah Jane.
If people want to rent or buy some old Dr Whos to see Sarah in her heyday, get “The Time Warrior” — Sarah’s introduction. She was never as plucky or spunky as this again. Stowed away in the TARDIS and took Jon Pertwee to task for asking her to get some tea. Polly always just smiled and nodded and got the flipping tea. She also got to fight the Sontarans in their first appearance on the show.
Also very good “Genesis of the Daleks.” Sarah, the Doctor and Harry fight the Daleks at their creation. The Doctor asks “Have I the right?” to destroy the Daleks when they are first being created and Sarah says, Hell yeah you do!
“The Ark in Space.” While fighting papier mache wasps, the Doctor uses reverse psychology on Sarah, telling her women are useless when she gets stuck in an air vent. Sarah gets mad, tears her way through the vent, and gives him a piece of her mind!
“The Hand of Fear.” Sarah says goodbye to the Doctor in a very touching scene. It was, however, slightly ruined by the Andy Panda outfit she’s wearing. It is an outfit so horrible, they actually changed it on the cover of the novelisation.
Sarah also starred in the very first spin off of Doctor Who, “K9 and Company.” But, honestly, as good as Sarah Jane is, you’ll want to give this one a miss.
Instead, go and get the best Sarah Jane story by far — “Pyramids of Mars.” She’s bright, resourceful, and just as plucky as always. But in it, she does two amazing things — Says she’s from 1980, thereby totally destroying the UNIT timeline (which introduced Who fans to the enticing sounding but ultimately boring phrase “UNIT dating”
and she becomes sexy as all getout by showing us that she knows how to handle a gun.
While wearing a floor length dress no less.
There is no end to the amazingness that is Sarah Jane Smith.
comments from my group re: callie finally leaving us in merciful peace and quiet:
“no, we’re not evil. but we’re much, much hotter than you.”
“damn right. where can i get a pair of pants like that?”
“could we please stop with the poignant flashbacks?”
“right. ’cause, not so much. we don’t care. turn. the. key.”
“huh. callie not too shiny, huh?”
“we’re still not evil, but we’re much smarter than you as well.”
“we’re also a far, far better actress.”
“with sexy back…. yay!”
“yay!!”
“roslyn gets to change her number again!”
buncha cynics and lechs, we are. that’s bsg’s target audience, right?
Perfect audience for BG!
Callie always got on my nerves. Apparently she was supposed to be on like one episode and die, but the producers loved her performance so much (!!!!) that they asked her to be a regular.
Don’t see it myself. But I guess in space, just like on earth, you have annoying whining people.
We should have two rules when we go into space (because you know they aren’t going to let us continue living on earth with them, right?)
1. Strictly no whiny annoying people.
2. Strictly no gibbons.
Since Mojo hates all non-human primates, he’ll agree with your no gibbon rule.
I once used the expression (in jest, in jest!) “More fun than a barrel of Monkeys” and Mojo said “Root canal is more fun than a barrel of monkeys.”
He has deep monkey loathing.
Hell, I’m not too fond of human primates either.
PERFECT! No gibbons, no whiners! And let’s screen the human primates very carefully. If they don’t like tequila, be suspicious… very suspicious. I bet they’re skin jobs.
Oh, and while we’re making a universe of our own, I got dibs on Helo.
