Sarah Jane Adventures

alixtiiWhat I loved about SJA was just how deeply ethical Sarah Jane was. Her constant reactions to Clyde's taste for violence (and don't get me started on the BBC's apparent need to have the male:female ratio among the kids be 2:1 rather than 1:2), and her dismay over the death of the twelve-year-old Slitheen, not to mention how upset she was at kids being dragged into what she was doing (so unlike the Doctor?!), just made her so incredibly awesome.
It occurs to me that SJA is, in a lot of ways, the flip side of Torchwood, and Who is the synthesis of the two. Jack is the Doctor's dark side, Lonely God and Lord of Time, answerable to no one and capable of genocide with a quip, and Sarah Jane is his ethical side, the part that says "This is where I stand; I can do no other."
Which is of course yet another reason why TW/SJA crossovers need to happen. (Spunky investigative journalist takes down secret illegal extragovernmental organization, with the help of teenagers! Would hit my kinks so hard.)
