Mad Dogs - ep2
AKA "The Life on Mars Fanservice Hour"
I am envious of Tiny Blair. I would stroke Baxter/Simm's face with something MUCH nicer than a pistol. >:(
Double duty - gather DNA from someone, AND scare the living hell out of them at the same time. *is glad I wasn't in his seat, otherwise Mr. Tiny Blair would owe me a serious laundry bill*
Oh, lord...all those with a John-Simm-covered-in-blood kink...Merry Christmas.
LOL @ Quinn panicking and slipping in the blood...not too bad at slapstick, our Phil.
"I know what he did. With the gun and the-the-the spitting. DNA. DNA! I'm like a walking fucking peh-petrie dish. Of evidence. They can put me in any cruh-cr-crime they want now. You can't fuh-phone the police, Quinn." Oh hell. Oh serious lordy fucking hell. John Simm with a stutter...WTF HORMONES??? Well this is a new one on me. Appropriate icon is appropriate. O God I hope he keeps it up for the rest of the series...
Ahem. Anyway.
*several years later after replaying the scene ad infinitum*
"Dog Days Are Over." Okay, does anyone have the first idea what this song is about? It's been haunting me and popping up everywhere ever since whoever it was playing St. Christopher on Twitter linked me to it right around the time of the Ashes to Ashes finale.
*cringes at Baxter folding up the bloody tablecloth* Aw, Jesus, man, at least wear a pair of gloves!
0_0 Holy shit bathtub Simm YESPLEASE. (Merry Christmas, Simm tattoo fans.)
Will accept a fresh-from-bath-towely Simm as well, please.
Along with a Glenister-topless-in-the-sunshine, thankyouverymuch.
Y Halo Thar, Simm's lovely mild Manc accent. I have missed you. *strokes and pets*
See, Baxter, that's what you get for trying to put suntan lotion on yourself...you know that Quinn's supposed to rub it in for you. Tsk tsk.
"Why don't we just find Jesus and tell him we made a mistake?" :)
*admires Marc Warren in his fetching Huckleberry Finn hat*
Quinn, I hope you continue to be the voice of reason throughout this film. And hopefully suggest that they leave the money in the boat and GO AWAY.
Brilliant plan, Quinn...all except for the HIDING THE MONEY part. *keeps mouth shut because otherwise we wouldn't get two more episodes, but still*
Ahhh...hello, Simm and Glenister two-shot that I've been waiting since Life On Mars to see again. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
And Rick takes the dvd player. Screamingly obvious plot point, you think?
"Two tickets to Rio. Me and you. What do you say?" Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, and Mazel fucking Tov, Life on Mars slashers!
Wtf Day of the Dead mural??? Lucky location find there, I'm guessing. *shudders*
Again with the creepy facial creme ad. "Yendo a ninguna parte". *Babelfish* "Going nowhere". Hee! Clever. Liking it.
*sees Simm driving the Jeep*
*tries to hold it in*
*trembles*
*loses willpower*
"This is not my car! I was driving a Jeep." "You were driving a military vehicle?" Gah! I'm sorry, you guys, I tried, I really did!
"You know that bees can count?"
Mmm. Sweaty Simm.
"Rick!" *whispers* "Shut the fuck up." 0_0 I think I just came a little bit, there.
*admires Simm's little hip-swish as he closes the gates...oh bless him, he just can't help it, can he?*
"So Alvo's on the boat. Then what?" THEN YOU PUT THE MONEY BACK AND LEAVE.
"That was a fuck of a lot of money, though, wunnit?" *accent-gasm*
*They all talk about keeping the money* "Don't be fucking stupid." THANK YOU QUINN ILU.
God, Simm looks like such a kid in those shorts. *feels pervy*
*Baxter hears that Jesus has been murdered* "...Oh." *frowns* ABSJKL:WOTJ$%EUYOP!!!! He just did a Peter Davison! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I wish I didn't know he'd watched some old Who in prep for playing the Master, because I am now completely and utterly convinced that that's totally where he nicked that move from. *fangasm*
LOL @ Quinn's face walking in on them butchering Alvo
Okay, I hate that Spanish policelady now...just being able to hold your hand out and have a Simm character take it and follow you = LUCKIEST BITCH ON EARTH.
What is it with Simm's characters being sexually harrassed by women? If a male police officer did that to a female suspect/witness...
:) A policewoman interviewing Glenister...while smoking. :) :) :) :) Must either feel right at home or like a complete role reversal.
"So...you know about 'good cop, bad cop'?" *nearly snurks tea through nose* "Which do you think I am?" Both, lady. Both.
Um. That phone was a bit...convenient.
Okay, so...spec. I reckon the policewoman...*looks*...Maria, isn't actually with the police but the criminals. Jesus Whatsisname isn't really dead, and they're toying with these guys trying to find out where the drugs/money are. After all, four "Herberts" as Quinn called them would be much more likely to open up to the police than the mafia.
Also, one of the producers said the ending was left open for a second series, so I'm hoping no major character deaths. That would suck. I want to keep them all please. In my closet at home.
