I know what you mean about Life on Mars. I was really annoyed because
SPOILER
I didn't agree with him deciding to take a long run off a short roof at the end, I felt firmly he should have stayed in reality. But that end bit with the chargin' off in the car was so awesome that I decided it was the right choice, in the very end.
I know what'll happen to him. But when I say 'stay', I mean 'not even leave in the first case, Sam you utter plonker'. Although, having Sam stay in 2006? Only if he had somebody to be a Gene. And I don't mean the beatings/bigotry/stuff, I mean the bleedin' friendship. (I also do not like Annie, not one little bit, and I think she's a representation of Lying Death.)
-shrug- You know, like the old thought puzzle. You come to two doorways/a fork in the road, and the two aspects of death are standing before you. They will not let you pass. One one side of the path/door is eternal damnation, and on the other side is salvation (other versions have death or life, but they are boring. Also, the concept that death lies and that life tells the truth is really rather wrong once you think about it). You must choose which path, and once you start down it you don't get to return. You may ask the two deaths one question. But! One of them lies, while the other tells the truth. I see Annie as the lying death of this puzzle. Oddly, however, the Test Card Girl occupies the space where I'd put the truth-death.
Exactly like in Labyrinth. Except, of course, in Sarah's case it wouldn't have mattered. No matter which door she might have chosen, she would have been safe.
It's like Life on Mars, except I don't find myself wishing he'd stay...
Made of win.
This had so better not be the last bit.
