All I can say in my defence is - I've never crushed on a cartoon character.

*whistles innocently*

What pissed me off about LoM was that the silliness actually appeared to have deep psychological meaning - right up until the last episode.

ut geez. And the guy who played Sam seemed to be doing an impression of his Dead Ringers caricature.

Well, I have a different take on that. I thought John Simm was wonderful in the part, and that the weird 'actor-iness' his character developed in the second half of S2 was there for a reason. But in the light of the finale, I may have been wrong.

For the time being, I'm blaming the success of the show - and the clamour for a sequel (after S1) and for a spin-off (after S2) for ruining its artistic integrity. I'd love to tie the writers to a chair and shine a naked light bulb in their eyes (a la Gene Hunt) and find out if the ending was really what they were going for or just a cobbled together fudge so that they could keep the franchise going.
