As someone who's growing to love the Sarah Jane Adventures, I definitely watch with the target age-group in mind. The daft humour I tend to love (if I could get a Gadget for Christmas, I totally would), but the number of Significant Looks and Portentous Posing in the episode was just a little bit too far for me. I can absolutely see how it worked for people (seriously the number of "scary Doctor is disturbingly hot" posts on my flist yesterday...), but for me, the part that was most effective was the quiet contempt with Adelaide at the end. Those are the moments that speak more to me, I think.
I really can't wait to see where they're taking the breakdown, though. It was long due - the build up to it has been great - and I really want to see how he struggles on with this to the end. If nothing else, it's ramped up my anticipation for Christmas - maybe this year will be more to your liking!
