Is there life on Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars...

So, me and father sat down to watch the last ep of Life on Mars.

It was the right ending for the show, and the right ending for Sam. It was also a cracking good ep.

John Simms is wonderful. Whilst I'll miss Sam and the show, it was a not utterly empty comfort to think that the next time I see Simms it'll be on Doctor Who.

And incidentally, if anyone has a copy of Bowie's 'Life on Mars' close to hand and feels inclined to share, I would perhaps love you just a little. Can't imagine why that song is still going through my head :)

Freshly ripped for you: David Bowie - Life On Mars?

I am literally DYING to watch the LoM finale. Part of me doesn't want to, but I love these characters and I want to say goodbye to them (even when I actually don't want to.) Gawd. ;_;

You are an absolute saint - Thank you! *smishes*

It's a good ending, and worth it, and it ain't really goodbye because a good thing doesn't really end when the credits roll :)

It was the best possible ending for the show. I mainlined 5 eps today to get caught up ready for the finale and I wasn't disappointed at all. As soon as I saw where he'd gone when he left the meeting I knew what was going to happen, but I still held my breath when he did it.

I could watch that all over again. :D

I think the biggest giveaway was the fact that there was still a good ten minutes or so to go by the time the meeting rolled around, so we knew somethingn had to happen. But yes, it was only when you saw where he'd gone that you realised just what that something was going to be.

*happy sigh* And of course, it had to be done to Bowie :)

Totally bonkers ending. I laughed heartily throughout the whole thing, which I'm pretty sure was not the intention of the writers. Great fun, though. And John Sims gives good emo tears.

I'm telling you though, that is so not my idea of heaven. LOL

John Simms and Philip Glennister hit just the right note, the whole concept really is a little ridiculous but damn do those guys pull it off :) I never bought the storyline Morgan tried to sell us, but I did believe that Sam had been there long enough to get truly and hopelessly confused.

Heh, there was an interview with one of the writers on the radio this morning. He was being asked if he was trying to say that 70's Manchester is heaven. He was very diplomatic, but said whilst the 70s has great fond nostaglia, personally for him the answer was most definitely 'No'.
