Next episode seems knee-deep in absolute ball-dropping shit. Chris and Ray beating the shit out of each other, Gene alone in a room looking somewhat pissed off and menacing, Young Summers...
I saw the first 6 or so epsiodes of Life on Mars. I liked the police procedural aspect of it, though I thought Sam's predicament was easily more interesting (including the images accompanied-- the buckle shoes walking through the woods, the title card girl). Nothing beats the Gene Hunt character though, that stark hard-boiled contrast to Sam; British comedy (In Bruges, Black Books, A Fish Called Wanda) is great at turning something gritty, dark, and/or cynical into something comedic in an overblown and cartoonish way. Gene Hunt is a fine example of this.
I'll definitely watch the rest of the series, though the effect will be dulled. Upon looking up Ashes to Ashes on wikipedia THE END OF LIFE ON MARS WAS RUINED. Oh well.
Good lord, what a belter. Bricks have been shat. On a random note, I really do look like Summers' younger self. Same hair colour, same eye colour, similar features, similar hair.
