I LOVE this. The palpable nervousness and brittle, sharp edges she's trying so hard to keep managed...it's so very Sarah. I like the choice to have her living her life but with it deliberately spare. Really excellent work.

ETA: And Maria, managing thing, reassuring, giving a well deserved shove when needed and a sharp reminder that this is both something Sarah can do and something she must do well? Awesome.

That means a lot. Thank you so much! I'm fascinated by Sarah in the earlier seasons especially, but some of those edges are still there as late as season five; she's such a great character to explore.

ETA: And again, thank you! My love for Maria probably shines through here, but I've always seen her as being just as much a rock for Sarah Jane as Sarah Jane was for her. This is pretty obvious in season one, but before Clyde showed up, I can see Maria feeling torn between Luke and Sarah Jane and finally giving that well deserved shove, as you said!

And I've loved her since 1979, and those brash aspects of her have always been there, her passion and indignation and...*mouth* getting away from her before she thinks fully. I think you did a GREAT job showing that, and showing that once she DOES think on what she's said, she recognizes that she's overstepped her own abilities...or thinks she has for a bit. :-)

Yeah, I think Sarah's always had a habit of leaping before looking, from The Time Warrior on - obviously it pays off sometimes, but even in classic Who we see a lot of her going back and forth on her decisions (a la the way she kept threatening to leave the Doctor). Taking on Luke is an even bigger commitment, and after so long alone and what with her major abandonment issues, I think she'd have a really hard time once the initial euphoria wore off. I kind of wish it had been explored a little more on the show, but there's only so angsty you can get on CBBC, I suppose!

That said, she usually leaps into pretty awesome situations, and they certainly worked out in the long run :)
