Trust the Gene Genie.

Mayhaps I need a Life on Mars icon.



--That was a lot of fun and I'm eager to watch S2.

--Gosh, an actual honest-to-goodness slash pairing! Well blow me down. *snicker*

--Excepting, of course, that I think I may be just as happy with Sam/Annie as Sam/Gene. D'oh!

--I love Annie. Don't anyone say anything bad about her, please.

--I find myself inappropriately head over heals for Gene Hunt, in that way where I'm perfectly happy to never ever meet him in person ever but if I did I'd cower somewhere behind him and expect him to save me from the bad guys.

--Everyone should have a Jamaican bartender offer random but timely pearls of enigmatic wisdom.

--The little TV blonde girl with the clown doll scares the crap out of me.

--If I have a critique of the show is that a) it was a tad predicable here and there in the actual crime solving part of the story and b) a bit one note with the Sam vs Everyone Else at CID, but neither of these things bothered me all that much.

--So, was Sam's dad acting as those brothers (Gene) or was he more or less innocent and at wrong place at the wrong time (Sam)? The show didn't seem to clarify that, unless I missed something.

--I figured out pretty early on that the tragedy of it would be that Sam would not be able to change history but only that he would be faced with some distressing truth about his father, but I didn't twig to the girl in red being Annie until the reveal, so that was cool.

--In conclusion, trust the Gene Genie.

In other news, I'm seriously unprepared for yuletide. D'oh! *big eyes*

Yeah, it's weird that he just disappeared. I guess I did what fans do, and imagined that he crossed the wrong person and ended up in a shallow grave somewhere. Poor Sam.

Yeah, I thought that too. If you tally up all the loose ends, it doesn't add up (if he is a rising criminal, why are his wife and kid still barely making ends meet? etc etc). I mean, this is just me on one viewing alone scratching me head, so I don't think I'm overthinking it (although definitely looking at it as a writer), but at the same time the show leaves open the question of whether or not what we see is real, a very nice example of an unreliable narrator, so, you know, the plot was not the point. The point is Sam and Sam's personal revelations and discoveries. Don't look over there! Look over here! *g*

er, okay, maybe I am overthinking it. haha.

That show's enough to make one's head spin, definitely!
