More back filling today (not that anyone reads this, I know you are all imaginary), because I followed up last week's low-grade illness with this week's resurgence of diverticulitis. So that was fun. Well, honestly, it wasn't awful, it was more going-to-be-awful-if-I-don't-deal-with-it. So I dealt with it. But I barely worked out again this week, and gained back four pounds. Yippee. I also started season three of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Prisoner of the Judoon - Parts 1 & 2
(TARDIS Data Core recap)
Apparently the Powers that Be decided that what SJA really needed was a thirty second series summary at the start of every episode, so starting with this season every single episode starts with Clyde directly addressing the audience to explain who the characters are and what they do. Which... ew.
That aside, the season opener was 50% a decent story about a Judoon prison ship crashing into Earth and a body-jumping alien escaping from their custody and doing terrible things. Unfortunately, the other 50% of the story was Rani's mom Gita attempting to expand her floral business into the corporate world. A real nail-biter, that was.
The main fun of this story comes from Sarah Jane being possessed by the evil alien for most of the running time. This means that Elisabeth Sladen gets to run around chewing scenery like crazy and acting all evil and stuff, which was clearly a great deal of fun for her.
Beyond that, though, it was a pretty forgettable story.
Shortly thereafter I started getting abdominal craps and stayed away from exercise for a couple of days until the antibiotics kicked in. So that was fun.
