Is it just me, but "The Sarah Jane Adventures"? Feels more like Classic Who than Who or Torchwood, y/n? And not just for the presence of one Sarah Jane Smith?

I got that feeling too. It's not just the cliffhangers, I fear it's possibly the whole To Heck With Your Personal Problems, We Gotta Go Save The World Now attitude which is occasionally absent from other aspects o the franchise.

They are just a bit obsessed with Personal Problems themselves in the other series, aren't they? Not that there's anything wrong with romance and sex on telly (one of the more obvious differences of TSJA to the others), but... the way it seems to be written? Very exclusivist and self-obsessive. Which is there to an extent in any sort of story with heavy romance or sex elements, but... I don't think it really has to be to the extent in can sometimes happen in Who/TW. [/rambling]

I sometimes wonder if that may be a point in Donna coming back? Make it less self-obsessed (which, to Rusty, thus makes it less about romance/sex)? *hides from Nos*

oh definitely. and it's the slight goofiness/sometimes unintentionalness of the humor, too. Man, I'm loving it.

It's starting to make me look at Nu Who (not even touching TW) as a bunch of filthy, dirty charlatans posing as the Doctor and companions ok, not really, but still, when in reality, Paul McGann regen'd to Liz Sladen and her companions are a bunch of high schoolers (who happen to be more competent then the lot of Torchwood).
