Ashes to Ashes Series 2

this is the 3rd series, Gene Hunt gets hit by a car, and falls into the mirror verse, where he meets his mirror self.
 
Well the effect of Summers shooting himself would depend on the theory of timetravel they're goping with. One school of thought suggests that all old Summers has done is create a branched off new universe where he died young. Since he's still from the original universe he continues to exist, the question is whether he and Alex could ever get back to their universe?

Pretty obvious Summers is the guy in hospital from the first ep.
 
It only works if it IS time travel. If it's all a fantasy then all bets are off. Did you learn nothing from the previous shows? What a brilliant episode, I was actually unable to watch when she was trying to dispose of the evidence in case anyone saw her. We immediately said "Ray" to the 'who is it?' question but I think that's what everyone was supposed to think.
 
I'm glad they made it who it eventually was. The good boy is the one that gets caught into the corruption scam.

As for the meta story stuff. I don't know anymore... shared hallucination by proximity? I hope he's just a figment of her imagination like the made who "helped" Tyler escape his dream. The contrast would be that Tyler wanted to ultimately stay but was "tricked" into leaving and here Alex wants to leave but is tricked into staying.

Oh yes I know it only works if it is time travel. The bit where she disposed of the body was gruelling to watch, as was watching the interview with the traitor later on.

Funnily enough Ray was probably the only person I figured was above suspicion! I'd have been annoyed if it had been one of the no names who swan about in the office...

I suspect he is quite real given the hospital scene near to the start of the season. Whether its time travel or a shared hallucination is another matter.
 
Well, if they are trying to be logically consistent, shared hallucinations are impossible. Well, at least I imagine that they are impossible. I've never had the chance to interview two comatose patients who were in the same room together. :lol:

Of course, there's my other theory that EVERYTHING is just a hallucination of a depressed Gene Hunt. First he wants a best friend, then he wants a hot girl. I'd be impressed if they went that far.
 
Ratings have remained very strong this year from reports and the guy behind the show is already talking about plans he has made for a 3rd season so looks like we will get one.

There's rumours going about that he's only doing that to make the ending a surprise. But who listens to rumours?
 
I would like a 3rd season it seems bad buissness these days not to tell everyone your ending when that final episode would be only days away...want to build up as much buzz as possible surly. I would like to see a 3rd season personally I love the old Gene Genie.

Not us. No siree bub.

Nope.

I hope it's not true, because it would be nice to be surprised for once.
 
im not going to comment on S3 until we see the S2 finale, other than to say it would be a shame if this is the last we see of Gene Hunt.
 
I love Hunt reading a children story.
I wounder if Ray enjoyed his sausage:eek:
I have not laugh so hard in ages:guffaw:

Series finale's started. Interesting start.

Series 3 has already been announced as the final series, so we know it's not resolved tonight.

I almost wish that they could help kept it two series just to maintain some kind of parallel to the original. Oh well.
That's what I expected, but it sounds like they have something interesting planned, so I'll be happy enough to see where this is going.
 
Sam Tyler returns. That's the only thing that would surprise me now. :lol:

Oh, and not the Manchester one... the NYC one. ;)
