* Another question about "Enemy of the Bane." Why did they bother stealing the scroll from UNIT in the first place? By stealing the scroll, Sarah Jane only gave Wormwood the chance to steal it from her. Wouldn't it have been safer if they'd left the scroll in UNIT's care? True, the Bane had a spy in UNIT but Sarah Jane had no way of knowing that.

Has absolutely nothing to do with Headscratchers. Removing Season headers. There\'s not enough on this page to call for that.
** It's not frequent, but it's certainly not an outright ''sham''. She's seen working on stories infrequently. I think it was in ''Revenge of the Slitheen'' where the power going out made her lose her work.

* Rani and Clyde seem to of become more annoying or is it just me?
** Well, This Troper has never liked Rani, but she has definately become even more annoying in Season 3 (Talking back to a Judoon like that? I get that the writers want to establish that Rani's a strong, confident young woman, but doing it like that is, in character, a very good way of getting Rani in serious trouble).
* The narration with unnecessarily high amount of clips from other episodes is a pain to go through at the beginning of each episode.
** {{MST}} it. ''Much'' more entertaining that way.

** She was probably actively involved, or pre-occupied with a larger threat.
*** If she was involved, then they couldn't have shown it; SJA is a bit young for Torchwood, and Torchwood is a bit too dark to be on SJA.
