Am I the only one that thinks "tweeting" this lowered the impact of the news.

No more so than a mass distribution telegraph wire, or standing on the corner shouting the news.

Gets the news across for those who probably didn't know yet and actively use Twitter. Nothing wrong with that.

Anyway... damn, that was unexpected. :<

No. Nooooooooooooo! Not Sarah Jane Smith! I never got a chance to watch her when she was with the 3rd Doctor, yet I've heard many good things about her in School Reunion. Rest in peace Elisabeth Sladen. :(

Noooo!

She was awesome in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End. I am sad now.
