torquillShe's gone.
It floored me to hear it; I hadn't realized she'd been ill. It hit me harder being so soon after Nick Courtney.
My thoughts, of course, immediately turned to Tom Baker, who's no spring chicken -- but (as far as I can tell, he's quite private) he seems to be hale and hearty, and having a good time recording new Doctor Who stories with Big Finish. The fact that those rumors turned out to be quite true has buoyed me a little.
I'm just glad Lis Sladen hung around long enough to make the Sarah Jane Adventures episode "The Death of the Doctor"; I thought that was the best story I had seen in quite a while, a cross between SJA and DW proper. It seems to offer a bit of closure, for me at least.
I didn't start crying until I selected the icon for this post.
