The tally for “Spearhead from Space” finally topped out at 57 when all was said and done.

A short series.
Sadly, it wasn’t S!J!S! texting me in this particular dream. I was watching The Sarah Jane Adventures on the computer via hulu (which is ironic, since I’ve never watched anything on hulu in my life) when two things happened simultaneously: the site went down and I started receiving text messages, which were just lists and lists of names. Quite a few of them were preceded with the Twitter hashtag (something else I find amusing and ironic, since I can count on one hand less two fingers how many times I’ve used the hashtags*).
There was someone with me, though I can’t recall who it was,
but I announced there were over a million text messages in the queue, in this list of names. I think the Brigadier figured somewhere in the dream at some point, and I also think Liz Shaw was there. That would make sense, since I was finishing up “Spearhead from Space” last night and finally completed it this morning.
On an unrelated note, for the most part: I have uploaded 44 new screen caps for the rotating Liz portion of strange cousin susan, which officially puts her count at 221, a solid 12 more than I have for Sarah! Jane! Another bit of irony, that, since S!J! was in like, a billion more serials than Liz…and has had two spin-offs of her own (even if one never got past the pilot episode). Plus, there are 19 new sound files from “Spearhead” as well; look for those to be available later today; I still have to convert them to mp3s and work my iTunes magic on them.
*And on an even more unrelated note, Twitter hashtags just flat-out annoy me, especially when #every #single #word #in #tweet #has #one.

“Young lady, the food in this Tupperware is absolutely edible. Confound it all, why are you so worried, hmmm?”
(Susan knows why; she made the mistake of using the TARDIS bathroom right after Ian had and Ian doesn’t believe in courtesy flushes.)

Susan looks on in horror as Barabra chastises the Doctor for eating whatever was in that Tupperware container he found in the refrigerator, while Ian has a sympathy cramp, for he found the same Tupperware container earlier in the day.

The only thing that would make this picture even more perfect would be this: instead of plain blue suspenders, Nicholas Courtney had pulled out the Mork and Mindy suspenders we all know he has tucked in a drawer somewhere.

Where does the awkward end?

Sometimes I wish we’d never learned Susan’s tights were red.

D O N N A !

Seriously, I could apologize for the Liz Shaw spam, but why would I?

Hard-hatted physicist!

Liz puts on her “I’m about to sass you, Brigadier” face.
Also, WHAT IS WITH THAT HAIR?

JON FREAKIN’ PERTWEE! And two other chaps…who are they again?
