Visiting the iMac for the weekend. Okay, I'm supposed to be babysitting the eldest half-sibling, but I come for the computer really. I have nothing to say, but... I do have a computer to say it on!
The ending of Life on Mars sucked. Even more than I thought it would. And now it's over I've realised just how much I fancy Philip Glenister. Disturbing. Although, still not as disturbing as the day I realised I fancied Warren Clarke.
I worry about me sometimes. At least James Marsters is pretty.

I was prepared for silliness in LoM. I didn't have high expectations because time travel? got to be a little bit silly. But geez. And the guy who played Sam seemed to be doing an impression of his Dead Ringers caricature.
And yeah, I think I'm kinked. 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.
