i'm afraid i may now have a wild crush on Gene Hunt. i might have to write fic about him set between Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes in which he is angsty (but of course he doesn't admit that he is) and misses his Sam and drinks a lot and throws punches. so pretty much just him being him then. but i doubt there is an audience for that kind of thing ( Read more... )

ashes to ashes, tv

Check out trinityofone - she's an awesome SGA writer who recently started writing Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes stuff.

I didn't like A2A as much as LoM - the music was cool, and some of the cracktastic plots, but the whole interaction between Alex and her mother made me squirm - eventually the MIB and I agreed to fast forward through those bits, and our enjoyment increased.

The show sort of pushes the Alex/Gene ship very hard without ever resolving anything - I was rather inclined to shout at Alex - if Gene is a figment of you imagination, what can possibly be wrong with shagging him!

I suppose what I am saying is that A/G is a very unconventional het couple, because Alex is a sort of honorary bloke in the 80s, and this is why they do not offend your non-conformist sensibilities?

i need some relevant icons. well, MORE relevant - though this one still applies, obviously. johnnypurple August 15 2008, 11:27:43 UTC

i am loving the music! and the costumes! gee, alex gets into it, doesn't she? it's like she was just waiting for the 80s fashions to come back in, or to be invited to an 80s fancy dress party, or better yet, TO GO BACK IN TIME TO THE 80s! it's awesome! and it's not like i can relate or anything!! ;-P

don't spoil me! i am still holding out hope for some alex/gene/quattro action! i'm sure the writers would be fully on board for a threesome with a car in the season finale! i live in hope. :D

Om nom nom, I would eat any fics you write that involve Gene Hunt right up! Never got around to watching A2A, but LOM Gene Hunt was definitely a beast and a half.

johnnypurple August 15 2008, 11:29:05 UTC

A2A is worth it for Gene alone! OMG! so much love.

he seems like he might be difficult to write. i'll have a think. :)

MY HAND COULD NOT GET ANY FURTHER UP. PLZ TO BE WRITING ANGSTY!GENE HUNT FIC AND THERE WILL BE FURTHER FLAILINGS.

Did Ashes to Ashes not irritate the everliving fuck out of you? It did me. :P

Did Ashes to Ashes not irritate the everliving fuck out of you? Nope! I am loving it right down to it's off-the-shoulder tops and home perms! I am a child of the 80s through and through. :)

ILU GENE HUNT!

If you are looking for any LoM fic, you can head to my del.icio.us lifeonmars tag.

We've still only seen one ep of A2A but I do want to watch the rest. The main problem is that there is no John Simm. So it isn't high on Essie's viewing schedule.

johnnypurple August 15 2008, 11:33:53 UTC

ooh, thanks for the recs! I'll check 'em out - probably when i'm meant to be doing my taxes or something. ;-)

Doesn't she go in for some Gene action? I was all SamSamSam in LOM but watching A2A it's BAM! GENE! GENE ALL THE WAY! And the ever lovely Keeley Hawes doesn't do it for her either? Not even with a lovely perm? *shakes head* Well - if you need a viewing companion, I'll watch it with you!! :D
