In other news, I've watched half of series 2 Life On Mars and I luuuvvss it, yes.

-- This was me for the first three episodes of Series 2: OMG GIBBS! Gibbs! *waves* Hi Gibbs! OMG Hiiiiiii! What are you doing in my surreal 70s buddy cop show?? HI GIBBS, WHERE BE YOUR SEA TURTLES, MATE? WHERE IS CAPTAIN JACK, WHERE'S THE RUM??

-- I *loved* the episode where Sam and Annie had to go undercover as a married couple at the Creepy Swingers' party. Sam busting in on Annie weilding a whip! priceless.

-- Also loved the episode where Sam has that weird drug overdose and he's stuck in a deeper coma and can only watch through a TV. Bizarre.

-- So, no offense to any Ray fans out there, but he's the one character I can't stand on this show.

-- Still love Gene, still wouldn't want him anywhere near me. But I truly appreciate him as a character: nicely complex, not simple, not defined by any one characteristic, capable of compassion, a man who doesn't bend except for when he bends. It's great.

-- Love the Gene Hunt/Sam Tyler dynamic, but I think I'm a Sam/Annie girl. <3 <3 <3

I leave you with some Gibbisms.

Jack Sparrow: Mr. Gibbs.
Gibbs: Captain.
Jack Sparrow: We have a need to travel upriver.
Gibbs: By "need," do you mean a trifling need? Fleeting? As in, say, a passing fancy?
Jack Sparrow: No, a resolute and unyielding need.

Gibbs: Come on, lads! Lift it like a lady's skirt!

Gibbs: Well, slap me thrice and hand me to me mama!

Gibbs: Look alive, men! It's not for naught it's called Shipwreck Island where lie Shipwreck Cove in the town of Shipwreck.

d'oh, forgot the footnote:

[1] Not the Civil War era story.
