Quote from: Doctor Someone on April 22, 2008, 08:02Sarah Jane will be returning as The Sarah Jane adventures were the most popular kids' programme of 2007 and 5th of 21st Century.

Oh, god I hope not. That show is an abomination and Sarah Jane herself is just an annoying woman who keeps coming back >.>

I don't think RTD realizes that she's just one of a long line of assistants- she isn't special enough to warrant her continued appearances on the show.

And, yeah, time doesn't exist, what?

Well you *could* say that time is merely a system of measurement we use to schedule actions, and doesn't really exist...

Time travel can't happen, cause time dosn't exist.

Prove it.

Some would say that time travel and being aged centuries by a laser beam and defeating millions of evil witches with a Harry Potter spell also contradict scientific facts.

Time travel hasn't been disproven by any means, and the witches hardly contradicted known science; they just used made-up science.

Oh, I was referring to the version of her that still looked like her, the one he kissed.

For the stardusty floaty blue Tinkerbell bits...

Hm, well... Maybe they were still clumped together?

Or alternatively, artistic license.

Well, I don't think she'd be a blue ghost if approximately half her atoms weren't there... she'd be a mess on the floor, and even if the machine was attempting to 'reassemble' her she'd still have colour (although I imagine she'd be a bit faded/translucent). That bit was down to interpretation really, I guess.

Artistic License is one thing, but really... it's science-fiction, and while things like lazers and made-up names are fine and dandy, contradicting scientific facts can really take away the believability factor.

The human eye can see atoms. You're looking at them now.

It was a collection of atoms just like a real person is. Just, less firm.

Okay, let me put that another way.

The human eye cannot see a single atom on it's own. That's atom. Singular.

And I notice that you haven't decided to explain why an atom would be blue and look like it came from Tinkerbell.

It wasn't a hologram... It was the last stardusty atoms of her mostly lost self. There wasn't enough of her left to be a full, conscious person, but there was the echo of it still there. As I said earlier, it was very Phillip Pullman, that bit.

I'm pretty sure that the human eye can't see atoms, and that they don't necessarily glow all blue and fairydust-like. But that could just be me.

Um...
