Jun. 26th, 2008 10:02 pmI keep wanting to say things and reply to posts, but I'm so fatigued. If nothing else, the last few weeks at work have been showing me how tough I am and how tired I can get. It's showing me how far I can push myself and it's far, far beyond what I would have believed. That being said, I'd love a few days in bed!
With all due respect to the immesity of the situation. With all due respect to the fact that this is Doctor Who and not The Sarah Jane Adventures or Torchwood, which means that the Doctor is the hero. Those are not the companions who travelled with the Doctor, who do nothing but crumble and cry in the face of terrible, terrible odds. Jack and Sarah Jane are both more than that. They get up and they endure and they fight until they can't. I can almost, almost buy it from Jack, but they had both better shape up over the course of the episode and, I hope, before the Doctor shows up. Right now, they're just poised to lie down and let their loved ones die; I don't buy that for an instant. Try, dear ones. Try.
