RIP Elisabeth Sladen

[rm]

Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith on The Sarah Jane Adventures, has just passed away.

I came to the show only in the last few months as I worked on a paper that focuses on it. But I enjoyed her work on Doctor Who and fell in love with SJA. Her performances were always everything I love about Whoniverse: the wonder of the universe and the beauty of sadness and how you find a way to keep going in the face of both of those things.

It's an absolutely gutting loss.

My thoughts are with all who knew her.

Sad, and not looking forward to telling my son, who's very attached to her. I think I'll have to wait a few days for that.
