Ugh. Really, Sarah Jane Adventures? This is how you are going to end your third season? Ok.

The Gift - Parts 1 and 2

(TARDIS Data Core recap)

I had really hoped we were done with the Slitheen forever. And, ok, sure, the main baddies in this story were actually Blathereen and not Slitheen, but that's a distinction without a difference.

So. Much. Farting.

The story opens with a pair of Slitheen up to no good, they are foiled partially by the Sarah Jane crew but mostly by the timely arrival of the Blathereen (another family from Raxacoricofallapotorias). The Blathereen sweet talk the Sarah Jane crew about how much they appreciate her good works, and they give her the gift of a plant that will supposedly end all famine and hunger on Earth. Of course it all turns out to be an evil plot, with the plant rapidly germinating across London. Stuff happens, other stuff happens, Clyde and Rani make googly eyes at each other, the plants are destroyed, and then the two Blathereen (and I swear I am not making this up) fart themselves to death.

The fart. Themselves. To death.

Sigh

I can't even.

The first half of this season was great. I am starting to think the entire series should have just ended with The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith. It would have been a lovely send-off. Instead, here we are with more farting aliens. Please, please tell me it gets better again in the next season?
