Be There/Square

Posted: 27 Oct 2008 02:08 AM CDT

Sarah Jane Smith. BBC One. Tonight.

Be there, or be square.

The episode in question? "Secrets of the Stars" part one - though you can also watch the concluding episode afterwards on the CBBC Channel.

Reader comments regarding tonight's episode:

"[It] was different (in a good way)... Mr. Truman is one of the most powerful beings Sarah Jane has ever encountered on the show" - so says Mr or Mrs. Anonymous!

Monseiur Nabu San, "What a fantabulously AWESOME episode this week! Acting, writing, music and special effects - all SPOT ON! Favourite bit was Luke's talk with his mum over not having a birthday, which I found really touching. Even moreso than Sarah Jane's toy clown tear-jerker from the last two-parter. I can't WAIT to see how the story concludes! So far this season, each episode has had at least one weak episode in every two-parter. Hope 'Secrets of the Stars' breaks the trend."

"It's not one of my favourites... if only because I don't care about astrology. Thankfully the show reinforces the fact that it's all nonsense and rubbish!" Courtesy of the majestic Who Cares.

As for the next SJA story, see here.
