Why can I never remember the titles of SJA episodes?

By dint of typing it many times for today's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
soniclipstick I have remembered that this one is called Secrets of the Stars part 1. I had to think just then before I typed it out though. Anyway, here are some thoughts on it:
- I absolutely adore Gita and Haresh! (Also I love Haresh's ears.) The way they're so relaxed and comfortable and affectionate around each other, so lovely, and it's great that Sarah hangs out with them of her own accord. She's really opened up since last year and it makes me happy. Mostly because I am a big softy and I like it when the little people that live in the telly are friends.
- Oh, poor Luke and his lack of birthday having.
- I loved the casual rapport between Sarah Jane and Rani in the scene by the car. "Need another pair of feet?"
- Meant to say this last week, but am very amused by how much taller Anjli Mohindra is than the rest of the cast. There was a scene last week when they were all in a line and she was visibly stooping to be the same height as everyone else.
- Would have liked to see Four or Three in Sarah's flashback as well as/instead of Ten, but SJA is usually so good at the Classic Who references that I can't mind too much. Plus, the "more than just romance" thing pleased me - I think it leaves it open for shipping them if you want to, but describing any Doctor-companion relationship as "just" romantic, or paternal, sibling, comradely etc always strikes me as a bit reductive. So I choose to interpret that line so it fits with my own biases. :)
