But I'd like to see 2050 or something...

Jack's been through a lot, but the Gene Genie could show him how a REAL man would do it...

After that amazing ending it still had me answering some questions....was this his sub concience and if so, why did I care after he died. The characters died with him!! But then Ashes to ashes opened up a whole new ball game. Why was the same characters in her mind?? Why did she have the same flashbacks and warnings about her life. Does the things they do in their past REALLY change the future outside the hospital bed??
Its confussion but in a good way. Not like Lost, were I just stopped caring. This really has me intrigued. I hope Simms turns up and wraps it all up. Maybe its a new method of transporting injured police officers back through time to clean up the Mets problems!! I said maybe.
Maybe its all just a coincidence.....but if theres real emphasis on conecting the 2 series, I cant see it being that simple or that boring!!
Roll on the finale, I cant wait.

Is it going to resemble the American "Life on Mars? I thought that while imperfect, that was a nice twist.

As for 'Ashes to Ashes,' I wish they'd just skipped the time travel angle entirely, and just made it 'The Gene Hunt Show.'
I absolutely couldn't stand Alex Drake for most of the first season (which I thought was more or less an episode-by-episode rehash of 'Life on Mars' with a few cosmetic changes) but think the show immidiately picked up as soon as they got past the obligatory mommy/daddy issues.
All I ask is that they don't go for something retarded like making both series the coma hallucinations of Gene Hunt, or a VR game from the future, or turn the entire 3rd season into a hunt for Sam Tyler.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you...

'Ashes to Ashes' kind of circled the drain for a while, but really came into it's own once they introduced the Martin Summers character.
I have to tell you, I sure as hell wasn't expecting the outcome of him meeting himself.

Life on Mars Series 2 Disc 1 - Very Long Wait
/sigh
Oh well, Disc 1 of Prisoner on Blu-Ray today, so I'm not going to complain too much...

When Sam and Alex ended up in comas, they became entwined with Gene's memories on the police force.

The back half of the second series of A2A did a fine job of making me absolutely positive Sam Tyler was about to show up. Here's hoping they do it for real this time...

Other than the god-awful last episode, about the only thing I didn't like about the US version was Harvey Keitel. Glenister is just a force of nature, and Keitel came off as too old and frail to pull it off.

I wanted to like that remake, but I was deeply unsettled by the similarity - I was expecting new weekly plots, for starters. (Okay, I admit; I just wanted more new LoM)
