oh sad RIP Sarah Jane Smith

I'm still at work and I was doing a refresh-tabs break and learned via Twitter that Elizabeth Sladen has died. What a shock -- isn't The Sarah Jane Adventures still going on, despite the fact that we haven't been getting it over here? And isn't Sarah Jane resilient enough to be with us always?

This has made me cry, in a somewhat unexpected way. I mean, I'll tear up at the drop of a hat but more of an actual cry is unusual for me. Good thing there's no one else left around.

(and this on a day when I've had Doctor Who running in the background as I work. and well on a day when I've had a lot of frustrating work to do, which is undoubtedly a factor.)

Seems so close on the heels of the Brigadier, too. Off having an adventure together, maybe.
