Almost the end?

Okay, so, only one episode of Life on mars remaining. Woe! I haven't been rambling about this series much, have I? I assure you, it is not because I dislike it! I am repeatedly reduced to incoherency by it! It is glorious.


I spend a lot of time going, "Oh, Sam, what're you doing now?" because clearly Sam is completely insane but I still adore him, even though he keeps doing stupid things, because he is adorable and wonderful. (I am surprised no one has asked me what or who I am talking to. Perhaps they are as used to me talking to my computer as they are used to me talking to my video games.)

Chris is adorable and fantastic and I love him, and Annie is adorable and fantastic and I love her. Ray is... I don't know, he annoys me a lot, but it really wouldn't be right without him! Gene is somewhere beyond the bounds of adorable and fantastic and words cannot express my utterly bizarre adoration of the man. And the writers have got to be aware of the subtext between Sam and Gene. It just cannot be unintentional, there is no way. THERE IS SO MUCH OF IT.

I feel rather pathetic about it sometimes, because really, they only need to be in the same room and there it is! Subtext! IN YOUR FACE. Which, er, kind of runs counter to the idea of subtext, but, well, what can you do?

I love the actors and the way so much is said with little looks or just slight shifts. It is amazing and wonderful and I do not see enough of that kind of on-screen interaction, which is a shame, because it is brilliant.

I don't like Morgan. The uneasiness he caused me simply by appearing did not lessen at all throughout the previous episode. Creepy man. Why are you trying to destroy Gene?

The destruction of Gene / the department being necessary for Sam to go home came up earlier in the series, too. I don't remember when, exactly. First season somewhere. Watching it all very quickly tends to make 'what happened when' blur, I'm afraid. Sam, you can't destroy Gene! If you do, and you wake up, you will regret it.


I'm still not sure about the coma thing. I mean, yes, I'm quite sure that Sam was originally in 2006 and ended up in a coma. (Which is to say, I don't think he's a completely lunatic who had always lived in 1973, which was an idea I entertained for a very brief while). The whole thing is just rather bizarre.

Anyway, maybe Morgan exists in 2006 and is leaking in the way so many other things seem to be.


I kind of hope that Sam makes it back to 2006, just because I feel so awful for his mother. He can go back to 1973 after, though. He likes it better there, everyone says so. Except Sam, but he lives in a state of constant denial, so of course he doesn't count.

He would probably wake up and think of how he could prove he was right about himself, and then, ooh, right. Reality. They aren't there.

Then he would go play in traffic or something.


The Silent Hill instances really freak me out. No wonder Sam's so crazy. Creepy-freaky girl-with-clown (I really hope she's gone, she scares me), disconnected phones ringing, radio static (why does he always go towards the radio when it spews static at him? That's the wrong way, Sam! That's where the monsters are!)

Do I have anything else to say...? I am not sure.


I finish this series tomorrow!


Blast it all, I can find most all of Top Gear 7, 8, and 9 (heck, I, er, have most of 9), but 6? Forget it. And 6, of course, is when Mirage the GT came in. Oh, it figures.

Argh. I've no idea what happened then, and it's really starting to bother me. It's also preventing me from writing the beginning of this ridiculous crossover. Aggravation. Aggravation, I say!
