Oh you daft..! Sam! *smacks Sam* Oi. wake up you bloody fairy! Why're you bein' so bloody stupid?!
*ahem* Just chanelling my inner Gene. Poor Gene's got his hands full enough allready. Maybe Gene'll just sling him over his shoulder and run after the guy?
I liked Ray squaring up to Litton, I love to hate Litton, he's a great villian, especially because he's supposed to be on their side :)

Or maybe Gene could pull a little Hot Fuzz action, throw a brick from a hundred yards away and hit the guy in the back of head, never having to leave Sam's side. Gene will definitely need a nice, long break once this is all over.

Oooh yeah! That would be brilliant! Hot Fuzz was fantastic, we should have a Hot Fuzz/Life on Mars crossover :D

dakfinv July 16 2007, 13:46:01 UTC

That would be hilarious. When I went to see Hot Fuzz, I couldn't stop thinking about LoM! I kept watching thinking, gee Sam would get along great with Nicholas Angel, and that Sanford must have been what Gene thought Hyde was like. And then they used "Blockbuster" in the one pub scene. I was flipping out and my American friends had no idea why. Or maybe that was just me.

Love the speedy updates on this :)

I can't single out my favourite part because it's all good :D

Don't leave Sam on the pavement for too long...

dakfinv July 16 2007, 04:30:08 UTC

Thank you! I promise I have a perfectly plot-based reason for Sam's blacking out which has nothing to do with just wanting to torture the poor boy. Okay, so maybe a little bit just for torture's sake, but I swear it's important to the plot!

Oh, poor Sammy! He can never win, can he? ;)
This fic is addictive: more soon, please!

dakfinv July 16 2007, 04:31:10 UTC

Thanks! If Sammy ever had it easy, it just wouldn't be as much fun for the rest of us, would it?

Oh I could give that Litton a kick in right now, he really isn't the nicest of people :/

Loving the whole thing so far, and looking forward to the rest :D

dakfinv July 16 2007, 04:32:43 UTC

You'll want to kick him even more soon enough. We haven't seen the last of him...I'm glad you like it! I hope to have more up soon.

shishmish July 16 2007, 19:21:10 UTC

I love to hate the guy, he was such a swine in the series and still continues to be.

So looking forward to reading more :D

Absolutely fantastic, and it just keeps getting better and better. Your use of Litton is wonderful, too - he comes across exactly as he did in the show, as do all of your primary characters. Amazing characterization, and the plot is shaping up wonderfully well - I still have no clue what could've happened with Sam and the body, and I'm incredible worried for Chris. You have a very, very good talent for creating tension!
