I chatted for a bit last night. I was frustrated though and
cranky. I eventually took a nap. I woke up wanting to work
on my BSG project and went over several deleted scenes.
I'm working on Caprica at the moment and hope to finish
an episode or two, but it's complicated by unfinished
special effects (which I may or may not be able to edit so
that they can be reinserted). Mark offered that I might just
put in the unfinished sequences as people have
imaginations and they'll get it...and he has a point...I may
even end up doing a cut like that, I just think if I can find a
better way that I should.

Ooh. They've announced the titles of the final 3 The Sarah
Jane Adventures stories:

5x01 Sky, Part I
5x02 Sky, Part II
by Phil Ford

5x03 The Curse of Clyde Langer, Part I
5x04 The Curse of Clyde Langer, Part II
by Gareth Roberts

&

5x05 The Man Who Wasn't There, Part I
5x06 The Man Who Wasn't There, Part II
by Phil Ford

It's been said that these would have originally been stories
1, 2 & 6 (6 being the season finale) and that Luke will be
appearing the final story. Perhaps the final story will have
a bit of closure? Or perhaps they may add a voice over or
something to give it more of an ending sort of a feel? I
hope so.

It's apparently also been said that these stories will air in
October? So we have Torchwood (both Miracle Day & Web
of Lies) from July - September, then Doctor Who from
September - October or November. And Sarah Jane in
October / November. The Doctor Who Christmas Special in
December. I suspect we'll be getting at least 1 more mini-
episode of Who as well.

As for the writers of these final Sarah Jane stories, Phil
Ford has written many Sarah Jane episodes in the past,
including several of my favorites and none of my least
favorites. He also wrote the animated Who story
Dreamland, which he worked into 2 stories of Sarah Jane
("Prisoner of the Judoon" & "The Vault of Secrets") and he
co-wrote the best of the final 10th Doctor Specials: "The
Waters of Mars". He also wrote the amazingly fun
"Something Borrowed" episode of Torchwood. Gareth
Roberts has also written many Sarah Jane stories including
all the appearances of my favorite villain, the Trickster,
along with some really good Who episodes, including
"Attack of the Graske", "The Shakespeare Code", "The
Unicorn and the Wasp", "The Lodger" & the upcoming 12th
episode of Season 6, which has yet to reveal it's title but is
something of a sequel to "The Lodger"; he also cowrote
the ok 10th Doctor Special "Planet of the Dead". I think
we're in good hands. I just hope that none of the stories
feature the Slitheen, as they've been played to death on
that series.

I made Mark breakfast and got him up for work. He has to
be in early today as he's leaving early to spend time with
his girlfriend. I'm sending along a peace offering; a
thumbdrive filled with Doctor Whoniverse episodes, after
she expressed interest in seeing more Who.

Mark's getting out of the shower. I'm going to have a
shake and some pain killer (my neck and back and head
started hurting about an hour ago).
