Ashes to Ashes Series 2

[ITL]

Yeah, I'm liking the show fine - but I can see the "LoM crappy ending" looming in the distance. I really hope that something unexpected and cool happens instead.

It probably won't, but I live in hope.

 

[captcalhoun]

well, there is another series to go yet...

good ep.

Well there are rumours going that they've only said they're planning series 3 so it's a surprise when it turns out this series is the last one... and who knows with tabloid reports.

 

[firehawk12]

Maybe it's because the American series was so close, but with all the messaging from the "future" in this one, I got a Yankee Life on Mars vibe from this episode.

 

[Starkers]

Yes but even in Life on Mars Sam got bits of messages from the future too.

 

[firehawk12]

Hrm, yeah, probably. I guess the US version is just fresh in my mind still.

 

[Starkers]

Poor you! (Of course I'm basing that on the last 10 mins which is actually all I've seen of it)

I'd heard about Gene taking Drake up the shitter over the Tardis console. Something of a jump the shark moment, I feel.

"Christ lads, this fookin' show's well shagged the DI Drake" /SeanBean

He was singing "Hungry Like The Wolf" as he did the deed. Make of that what you will.

 

[Jim Steele]

And then, I believe, he pulled out and came on Eileen. Ridiculous!

 

[ITL]

Right in the mush. While she was eating her chips.

 

[Jim Steele]

Fuck! I still haven't seen last week's ep. Iplayer, I need you.

Hey Jim, you asshole, why do you care so much about missing a show you hated on upthread?

Quiet you.

 

[wamdue]

they might as well have just spray painted some Bad Wolf graffiti on a wall, and had done with it, based on the end of tonights episode, if this show doesn't end with an apperance by Rose, I will be shocked

 

[Pingfah]

Gene doesn't really seem like the dog shooting type to be honest.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

^ Is this 1982 in Pete's World?

I'm rather enjoying the fact the have a strong overarching story to this series, and I liked the fact we got to hear more about Sam's life post LoM.

if it was not for that one line in Life on Mars, where Anne mentions Doctor Who, then the web would have alot more Doctor Who & Life on Mars crossovers. Sam Tyler turning up as the Master only makes it more fun.

I like the story arch to, S2 is better than S1 no question

 

[Captain Shaw]

Never thought they would take Mackintosh alive but thought he would be in it till the end.

Me too, I was expecting he'd be there all through this series thwarting them a little more blatantly each time.
