Quotes from "Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith"

Rani: When was the last time you took a holiday? A proper holiday?
Sarah Jane: Oh no, I love my work! I don't need one.
Rani: When was the last time?
Sarah Jane: Look, I can't put a sign on the dark side of the moon: "Ooh no, don't invade this week, 'cause old Smith, she's on her hols"!

Mr Smith: So, I take it the combined effects of myself and K9 were satisfactory?
Sarah Jane: You called him K9.
Mr Smith: He's not so bad after all. I've met worse.
K9: It is an equitable arrangement.
Clyde: Get a room, boys.

Ruby: I need to feed. I can't help the way I am.
Sarah Jane: Yeah, but you didn't have to enjoy it so much.

Quotes from "The Nightmare Man"

Slitheen: You think you can stop me with a bucket?
Clyde: A bucket full of vinegar! (throws the vinegar at him) 
Slitheen: Ohhh.... bum! (explodes) 

Clyde: (about Luke) I don't get why he wants to go to Uni anyway. We've got K9 and Mr. Smith. He can learn everything from them.
Rani: He's got to meet new people, do new things. Don't you want to see the world?
Clyde: I've seen it. From space.

Nightmare Man: Children of earth, I demand you sleep. And you dream. And you fear... You will fear me.
Sarah Jane: Come on, come and sit down. And I'll tell you all about my brilliant son.
Nightmare Man: No.
Sarah Jane: His name's Luke Smith. And he's going to live, happily ever after
Nightmare Man: Noooooo!

K9: Goodbye, Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith: Goodbye, K9.
K9: You were... adequate company.
Mr. Smith: You could always contact me, if you need to.
K9: I knew you would miss me.
Mr. Smith: Goodbye, K9.

K9: (Trying to contact Luke) I regret I have insufficient power.
Mr. Smith: Perhaps I could help. If I were to connect to K9, I could boost his energy levels.
Sarah Jane: What would you ought to need, Mr. Smith? I've stuff here from planets across the universe. Mind control devices, alien implants... Just tell me what you need.
Mr. Smith: ...I need a USB lead, Sarah Jane.

Nightmare Man: (watches Rani sleep) What sweet dreams... soon change that!

Clyde: Wherever you go, whatever you do, don't forget about me. I'm still your best mate, remember?
Luke: Super alien brain, remember? I never forget anything.

Quotes from "The Gift"

Rani: That Rakweed plant could be really incredible. It could feed thousands!
Clyde: But I bet it'll still taste like salad. Like the world needs more salad.
Rani: Do you know what cynical means?
Clyde: It's what I call being realistic. 

Dave: Sarah Jane Smith. How predictable.
Sarah Jane: I prefer reliable.

Sarah Jane: If the Slitheen are back, it could mean chaos on a global scale.
Luke: What do you think they're after?
Sarah Jane: Same as always, I imagine to convert the Earth into cash.

Clyde: K9, can you link to Mr. Smith?
K9: Possible, if required. However, contact with that computer interferes with this unit's synaptic circuits.
Clyde: You mean he gets on your nerves?
K9: Affirmative

Sarah Jane: You're as bad as the Slitheen.
Tree: Don't insult us! We're much worse!
Leef: They don't have our class, our vision, our good looks!

Rani: You're really gonna go through with it, aren't you? Cheating on the test. You've got no morals, have you?
Clyde: And that's why you love me.
Rani: Dream on, Clyde. Dream on.

Series 2 Episode 3: School Reunion

Summary:
Mickey has told the Doctor and Rose about strange things going on in a school and so the Doctor works there as a teacher and Rose in the canteen. The Doctor is quite surprised when Sarah Jane Smith crosses his way and starts her own investigations at the school. First she doesn't recognise him because he has regenerated since they last met but then they are both happy to see each other again. Rose is a bit jealous because of the relationship of Sarah Jane and the Doctor but they have other things to think about. The headmaster and a big part of the staff are bat-like aliens who use the children to solve a puzzle, which would give them the power over time. Can the Doctor stop them with a little help of his companions and K9?

This is the first time where Rose is confronted with a former companion of the Doctor and she sees what he does to the people who travelled with him. Sometimes the people decided that they don't want to travel with him anymore but more often they either die or he leaves them behind like he did with Sarah Jane. Rose has to deal with the thought that the Doctor will leave her behind one day and will never return. This episode has some great emotional moments especially when the character of Sarah Jane Smith comes back and when the Doctor tells Rose that she can spend her whole life with him but not the other way round. In moments like this you can also see that being a Time Lord is a burden most of the times. It's funny to see similarities between Mickey and K9 but I'm also glad that he got some space in the series to evolve from Mickey, the idiot, to a very brave man and good character. A great reunion episode, which connects the old Doctor Who episodes with the new ones.

Quotes from "School Reunion"

It is quotes Monday again and today you get some from the episode "School Reunion" which was the return of Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.

The Doctor: So... physics! Physics, eh? Physics! Phyyyysics! Physics. Physics. Physics. Physics. Physics. Physics. Physics. I hope one of you is getting all this down.

The Doctor: Correct-amundo! A word I have never used before and hopefully never will again.

Sarah Jane Smith: Hello.
The Doctor: Oh, I should think so.
Sarah Jane Smith: And you are?
The Doctor: Uh, Smith. John Smith.
Sarah Jane Smith: John Smith? I used to have a friend who sometimes went by that name.
The Doctor: Well, it's a very common name.
Sarah Jane Smith: He was a very uncommon man.

Sarah Jane Smith: I thought you died. I waited for you, you didn't come back and I thought you must have died.
The Doctor: I lived. Everyone else died.
Sarah Jane Smith: What do you mean?
The Doctor: Everyone died, Sarah.

The Doctor: And you decided to scream?
Mickey Smith: It took me by surprise!
The Doctor: Like a little girl.
Mickey Smith: It was dark! I was covered in rats!
The Doctor: Nine, maybe ten years old. I'm seeing pigtails, frilly skirt.

Sarah Jane Smith: I used to travel with the Doctor.
Rose: Oh! Well, he's never mentioned you.

(Rose and Sarah Jane have just met for the first time)
Mickey: (to the Doctor) Oh, mate. The missus and the ex. Welcome to every man's worst nightmare.

Sarah Jane Smith: You were my life. Do you know what the most difficult thing was? Coping with what happens next. You know, what doesn't happen next. You took me to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, you showed me supernovas, intergalactic battles and then you just dropped me back on Earth. How could anything compare to that?

Rose: I wouldn't touch that, though. That dinner lady got all scorched.
The Doctor: I'm no dinner lady. And I don't often say that.

Mickey Smith: So, what's the deal with the tin dog?
Sarah Jane Smith: The Doctor likes traveling with an entourage. Sometimes they're human, sometimes they're aliens, and sometimes they're tin dogs. What about you? Where do you fit in the picture?
Mickey: Me? I'm their man in Havana, I'm their technical support. I'm... Oh, my God. I'm the tin dog!

Rose: I've been to the year five billion, right, but this... Now, this is really seeing the future. You just leave us behind. Is that what you're going to do to me?
The Doctor: No. Not to you.
Rose: But Sarah Jane... you were that close to her once, and now, you never even mention her. Why not?
The Doctor: I don't age. I regenerate. But humans decay. You wither and you die. Imagine watching that happen to someone you...
Rose: What, Doctor?
The Doctor: You can spend the rest of your life with me... but I can't spend the rest of mine with you. I have to live on. Alone. That's the curse of the Time Lords.

Sarah Jane Smith: I saw things you wouldn't believe!
Rose: Try me.
Sarah Jane Smith: Mummies.
Rose: I've met ghosts.
Sarah Jane Smith: Robots. Lots of robots.
Rose: Slitheen. In Downing Street.
Sarah Jane Smith: Daleks.
Rose: Met the Emperor.
Sarah Jane Smith: Antimatter monsters!
Rose: Gas mask zombies!
Sarah Jane Smith: Real living dinosaurs!
Rose: Real living werewolf!
Sarah Jane Smith: The... Loch Ness... Monster!
Rose: Seriously?

Mickey Smith: You're working! Okay, no time to explain, we need to get inside the school. Do you have, like, I don't know, a lock-picking device?
K9: We are in a car.
Mickey Smith: Maybe a drill attachment.
K9: We are in a car.
Mickey Smith: Fat lot of good you are.
K9: We are in a car.
Mickey Smith: Wait a second. We're in a car.

Mr Finch: (referring to K9) Forget the shooty dog-thing.

The Doctor: Goodbye, old friend.
K9: Goodbye, master.
The Doctor: You good dog.
K9: Affirmative.

Rose: What do I do? Do I stay with him?
Sarah Jane Smith: Yes. Some things are worth getting your heart broken for.

YouTube and the Copyright issue

Sometimes I'm really annoyed when I want to watch a Doctor Who or Torchwood video on YouTube and get the message: "Due to copyright issues the video is not available in you country. We are sorry!" (Or something like that)
One problem here in Germany is definitely the GEMA which wants money from YouTube for certain music titles etc. and that's a reason why I can't watch a lot of the videos because it has a music title which is restricted here. I always ask myself why it's possible to use the music in the US and they just add the iTunes download link but not here. Here they have to block the whole video or sometimes only the sound which is even worse. The additional "We are sorry!" isn't really helpful then.
It's the same with the blocking of TV show uploads and then blocking channels of users. I know it's illegal to upload this stuff but it's normally the only chance I get to watch the episodes when they are not broadcast in your own country and I don't have the money to buy all the DVDs. Sorry. But I'm also not one who downloads the episodes illegally I just want to watch them which is still a kind of grey zone on the internet.
I always ask myself why they are allowing uploads of copyrighted stuff in the first place and don't have a kind of filter so that these things don't get online at all and they have to block users later. Well, I guess I won't see the rest of K9 which I really enjoyed and I don't know if I like it that much to buy the DVDs.

Tidbits

I only have some tidbits for you today.

My timeline is now a bit longer but I still haven't added anything about Torchwood or the K9 series. The dates of the first Doctor Who series are added to the timeline and most of the Sarah Jane Adventures. Your help is still appreciated.

I'm also still looking for more birthday dates. I haven't found anyone for August yet. So if you have any birthday dates of actors from the Doctor Who universe please leave a comment.

You still have some time to vote for your favourite Torchwood character.

Summer break nearly over

Now we can already see the end of the summer break before us with a date when Doctor Who shall be aired again. I'm not sure if the 26th of August is the date for the US or UK or both but maybe someone can enlighten me there.
I think Torchwood saved me from falling into the deep Doctor Who free hole which opened beneath everybody this summer. I really enjoy the series so far and in a while there will be the double dose of Torchwood and Doctor Who. So don't plan anything else for these evenings.
Up till now I have also caught up with the episodes of the Sarah Jane Adventures but sadly we won't be able to see more than 6 episodes because of the too early death of Elisabeth Sladen. But I think it's better to leave the series like this because nobody could replace Liz in her role as Sarah Jane Smith. The last episodes are scheduled for late October or November this year.
When you have read my post from yesterday you will have noticed that I started to watch the series K9 as well and I really enjoy it but it you know that it's more for children when you watch it. But nontheless it is still a way to get over the summer break without Doctor Who.

K9

Thanks to Tardis Newsroom I came into contact with the K9 series which is filmed in Australia but still belongs into the Doctor Who universe.
I have to admit I really like the series although it is more for children like the Sarah Jane Adventures. Sometimes I think the single episodes are a bit short because the are only around 20 to 30 minutes but it's really something you can watch in between and I like the design of the new K9.
It would be nice to have a connection to Doctor Who in the series on day but that is probably difficult because it's produced in Australia. Well, I think I will enjoy the episodes which I haven't seen yet and maybe I open an episodeguide for this series as well.

Something totally different now. I have discovered Sherlock for me. I've missed the first episode of series one but I liked the second very much. Great work Mr Moffat!
