More rumors about Sarah Jane. It's unknown if these rumors are true, but I believe there is at least SOME truth to them. The rumors are that Luke Smith & K-9 Mark IV will both be leaving the series in the 2nd story of the season (4x03 The Nightmare Man, Part I & 4x04 The Nightmare Man, Part II) and that both character will therefor be absent from the following story which will feature the Eleventh Doctor and Jo Grant. If Luke & K-9 Mark IV do leave in those episodes (and I have very little doubt that they are indeed leaving the series at some point) then those episodes should prove memorible. I'm slightly worried that Season 4 will mirror Season 3, which surprised me with 3 good / great stories right out of the gate (the 3rd of which featured the 10th Doctor and the Trixter) but were followed by 2 mediocre stories and horrible finale. Hopefully this will be avoided. There are also rumors that I have less faith in, such as a return of Eldrad (the villain from Sarah Jane's final 4th Doctor story "The Hand of Fear"). Still no word on why Amy Pond isn't in the episode, but I'm thinking (and almost hoping at this point) that she's just not sticking around past this season.
