The latest of the Doctor Who spin-off series, The Sarah Jane Adventures, premiered on SCI FI Channel on Friday to begin a ten episode run. Though the episodes will run only a half hour going forward, the pilot, “Invasion of the Bane” was a full hour and a delightful one at that.

For me, a big adventure is going to the Ralphs Grocery store on the north side of town instead of the one on the south side. Oh, look! They have that special guacamole that I’ve been looking for! Now that is an amazing find!
