So I made some biscuits for Stitch 'n' Witch at the weekend, and burned them. Today I made some more... and burned them again, but not quite so much, so hopefully they will taste ok. FAIL!
I think I am in the minority here, but I really felt for Andrea. If I've understood things correctly, the chaos thingy (which may have had a name, but if so I've forgotten it) altered her memory, so she didn't remember what she did until Maria started yelling at her. And then she was desperate to make it not have happened - she couldn't take it back, so she focussed her anger on Maria, thinking that if no one knew what she'd done, that would be almost the same as her not having done it. She was scared, and shocked, she'd just found out that instead of being the victim of a tragedy, as she'd always believed, she had killed her best friend to save herself. And then she was told that she had to die, that Sarah's life was more important than hers and all she could do was deliberately make herself not have existed. The best thing she could do with her life was... not live it. Ouch. So maybe I am just a big softy but I was sorry for her.
I also liked the fact that Andrea was talking about how much she'd loved Sarah Jane at the end. Much better than the cliché "I was always SEKRITLY JELLUS of her fabulousness and in my heart wanted her to die" response that they could have gone for. The scene between her and Sarah-in-the-mirror was wonderful, the idea of these two friends seeing each other as grownups and knowing that they can never really meet like that in the real world, that neither of them can ever know what the other is like now. :-(
And Andrea asking what it meant that she "should be dead", and not getting an answer, was very good, because although in some ways it's obvious that the world is better with Sarah in it, is it ok to sacrifice another life to keep hers? Would Sarah agree to that, in a different situation?
The person playing the Graske was having far too much fun, methinks.
Aw, Clyde grabbing Maria's shoulder! I assume that he remembered forgetting Maria, like Chrissie did?
Alan was great in this, taking out the Graske on his skateboard was cheesy but fab.
Maria's annoyed expression when she and the Graske materialised in the... big white place!
Oh, Sarah, so fiercely protective of her people.
Didn't realise how much I'd missed Luke until he was back and technobabbling!
(and no, of course I've not just got round to writing up my thoughts cos I've not got much for today's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
soniclipstick, why do you ask?)
