Sarah Jane Adventures, Season 3, Episode 1
So Sarah Jane was renewed for yet another season - it seems RTD's strategy of marketing sci-fi to 'tween girls is paying off.
The feature alien for this story is one of my all-time favorite of the new series, the Judoon! Not so much a "baddie", but not protagonists either. They're dangerous, yes, but they're also the law, albeit kind of rigid about following rules (which was the source of much of the humour in this story).
Of course, beyond the Judoon-squee, don't expect too much meat on the story. It is marketed for ~11-15 age bracket, so it never gets too complex. It's the usual stuff - aliens pop up, Sarah Jane + kids investigate, keep the villains at bay and stave off questions from meddling parents. I do prefer the chemistry between Gita and Haresh to that of Maria's parents. The latter were just annoying, whereas the former are almost cute.
Anyway, not much to say on this. The SJA formula I've noticed to date is that the first episodes go heavy on camp and simplistic storylines, and by the time the season rounds out, the content becomess almost grownup-worthy. However it never really loses the family squish factor, so expect many declarations about how much people care about one another. Bleh.
