[doctor who] things i didn't expect to cry about today: Farewell, Sarah Jane

skarme
RTD went and wrote an epilogue in memory of Lis Sladen and while it's not immediately obvious it's a video for a reason

skarme
god i just

skarme
sja was definitely not like, the best show ever and also it was a show literally for children, but even though i was a little over the target age at the time, it was formative for me like those years of dw were

skarme
and rtd in general had his issues as a writer (which even peek into this thing lol) but i never got the impression that he didn't love doctor who, the show with decades of hilariously messy history and baggage, with all his heart

skarme
unlike... some writers.... whose love seems to have been for what doctor who stood for in white english cultural memory

skarme
and this thing suddenly reminds me of that, and how everything felt back then in the late 00s

skarme
first peeking into the dizzying kaleidoscope of a vast subset of capital-F Fandom

time passes, and people have to go. goodbye, sarah jane.
