Re: Life On Mars: "The Man Who Sold the World" 11/20, Grading & Discus
Finally got a chance to watch this off my DVR tonight.
Up until now I gave most (if not all?) of the episode an 'above average'...but this one was great! Gave it an 'excellent'.
They really moved the plot along in this one, I thought. They dealt heavily with his family (particularly his dad, obviously) and also with that 'woman in the red dress' thing, which leads me to believe that Annie is a big part of why he is in 1973. And finally, that cliffhanger ending...wow! Wonder who that voice is and what's in the basement.
January 28 is too far away.
I like the way he gets clues in 1973 - that whole bottom right corner thing was an odd little twist. And I still gotta give 'em serious props for the period stuff - they don't miss a beat with all the early 70's memorabilia. If this show makes it to DVD release though, I have to worry about music rights becoming an issue. Tons of cool 70's music that was very popular at the time...but it's bound to be expensive to include in a DVD set.
