20 Years Ago, The Oldest Sci-Fi Show Cemented Its Complex Canon
"The brilliance of bringing back Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith in 'School Reunion' lies in its ability to connect the past with the present, showcasing the enduring legacy of classic companions."
"'School Reunion' is not remembered for its monster or plot but for its emotional resonance and the nostalgic return of a beloved character, bridging generations of Doctor Who fans."
The 2005 relaunch of Doctor Who simplified the canon for new viewers, establishing the Doctor as the last Time Lord. The continuity of classic companions remained intact, as demonstrated in the 2006 episode 'School Reunion.' This episode featured the return of Sarah Jane Smith, a beloved companion from earlier series, alongside the Doctor and Rose. While the plot involved aliens in a school, the episode's significance lies in its nostalgic connection to the show's history and the enduring legacy of its characters.
