(no subject)
I just started watching Ashes to Ashes (literally, just- I'm only 18 minutes into the first episode), and so far I'm liking it. I was really ambivalent about watching it. I put it off for about two months because I was really worried it would suck, even though everyone says it's great. My boss (who got me into LoM in the first place) told me that if I didn't get a move on so she could have someone to talk to about it she would dock my pay (I think she was kidding), so I've finally gotten started.
I like Alex, which was one of my biggest fears. She seems nice and interesting, and she's actually a lot like me personality-wise, which is always good. I like the WPC with the bowl haircut, too- she seems sweet (I'm trying to remember her name, but she's only been on screen for about a minute so far).
Of course, it was a great moment when Gene & Chris & Ray got out of the car- it's great to see the boys back in action. Ray still looks like a div, but with even div-ier hair, and Chris seems sweet an floppy as usual. Gene- well, what can you say about Gene. He's a sex god. Loving the boots and the black shirt, not loving the new car (the Cortina can never be replaced in my heart).
It feels weird not to have Sam and Annie around. I actually found myself really missing Phyllis too, of all people. But it's Sam and Annie I really miss. WPC Bowlcut seems a bit Annie-like, but they're really irreplaceable. I'm still a little upset about Sam not being there. It doesn't feel the same without him. It just makes me a bit sad.
Anyway, I'm gonna go have some dinner and then finish the episode. I've got a journalism final in the morning (Urgh) so I've been studying for that, but now it's Gene Hunt time :)
