I finished Life on Mars. To be honest, I started the show pretty much knowing how it would end (having absorbed a lot of information about what happens in the finale simply through reading my flist during the time it aired, though not intentionally trying to spoil myself) but I still enjoyed the finale nonetheless. My recollections were vague, but because I had the notion in my head
that Sam Tyler dies, I picked up on a lot of foreshadowing in Sam's freaky dreams and even the music itself. So I ended up being quite certain how it would end. This did somewhat lessen the HOLY SHIT! factor when he leaped off the roof, but still - HOLY SHIT!!
I'm watching Ashes to Ashes now, which is also entertaining, but very different. What amazes me so far is how they've created UST between Alex and Gene - seriously, how did they turn Gene Hunt into a viable candidate for a romantic pairing? Also, Ray Carling somehow managed to act like a non-misogynist human being for once. I was amazed.
ETA: This is unrelated but I felt the need to express my love for Park Bom of kpop girlgroup 2NE1. I just adore her, bloated face & corn eating notwithstanding.
