That's BRILLIANT! I love it! I had noticed the shortness of his hair in that ep, previously, but had not pondered the variable length. Love the little captions, particularly the "stomp on toys" one.

Do more!

I knew my massive screen cap collection had to be good for something... although to be honest I had to go back and re-cap this entire episode to obtain the time-stamped hair evidence necessary for this post. God is in the detail, hmm?

Glad you liked it! I'm sure you can expect more absurdity from me in the near future (when can't you). :P

"A short haired Gene appears" - This makes me think of Pokemon XD <3

And the BONUS FEATURE that is that little sticky outy bit of hair! I love it!

There needs to be more Gene hair!watch in the next episode XD We'll keep a tally!

I honestly think I almost lost my marbles while constructing this post. I even briefly considered a Me/Piece-of-hair-sticking-out-the-side-of-Gene's-head OTP. I'm sure we would be very happy together. 0_o

But yes. Looking forward to the future adventures of Gene's hair, and perfectly happy to be the default captain of the Gene Hunt Hair!watch patrol. It's like neighborhood watch, only more obsessively creepy. ^_~

Oh, I doubt you'll be able to get rid of me now. I've been lurking around here for awhile, but I'm like a jack-in-the-box. It's hard to put me away once I pop out. ^_~

Glad you liked the post, I had a lot of fun making it!

ROFL!!! I love you! Admittedly I've been massively obsessed with the hair continuity in this episode for months, but I'm glad to see there's someone even worse than me out there! This is TOTALLY MADE OF WIN! Unfortunately I'm at work so I can't repost and crack up all over Tumblr, but you deserve some sort of award. Yes. Some sort of neurotic, extra hair/sideburns, now you see it--now you don't kind of thing....

Hahaha well if I'm ever to have an award I really do hope it has extra sideburns. Otherwise why bother? ^_~

I actually don't think I noticed this hair continuity problem until a few weeks ago while viewing with my re-watch buddy. It stayed in the back of my mind until Sunday's chat,where I realized I *wasn't* the only one who thinks about this sort of stuff. HAHAHA!

Glad you liked it... I'm at work, too, so I better shut up now. Shhhh, don't tell on me! :P

This post made me laugh so hard that the girl behind me wanted to know what I was doing! Fortunately I was on my lunch so I got away with it. I have seen each ep so many times and my tv screen is quite large so I end up focusing on all sorts of little things. After seeing your screencaps of Gene running out the door on Tumblr, I think I may have grounds to disagree with the chatgirls about Gene having "moobs", since your caps don't really show anything like that! It may just have been the way he was bending when they were cuffing the suspect! *g* I think this calls for another post for us to peruse the expanse of British, white & pasty that's on display there...maybe after we watch the ep on Sunday? *bats eyelashes and begs*

Oh my my my. Did you just give me an *EXCUSE*?! Believe me, I've already envisioned the potent combination that is Gene running around in little swim trunks and my love of annotating photographs with helpful, carefully placed arrows. They'd better not ask me to come into work on Sunday, because I'll tell them I ALREADY HAVE PLANS. ^_~

Regarding recent caps of Gene in trunks, I believe you may be referring to those posted by the lovely rangerg... not that I haven't posted caps of swim!Gene before (I have-- several times), but she was responsible for the recent frame-by-frame account of Gene running our the door.

If anyone has a worse screen capping problem than I do, it's the ranger. We've started an anonymous support group... which isn't much of a group as there's only just the two of us. And it's not very anonymous, since we know each other. Oh well! I guess we'll just have to continue upon our current bent of codependent behavior-- a.k.a. lots and lots more screen caps! <3

ROFL. Oh, dear god, I knew Gene's hair was unnaturally short compared to the rest of the series in 1.01, I just hadn't noticed how all over the map it was in that one episode alone until you broke out the caps. Existential crisis! *flails*

And of course, come the last screencap I totally forgot why it's a problem because I got distracted by Phil's pretty, pretty eyes. *facepalm*

Hahaha, it's a sad state of affairs when you've reached the point in your evening (as I did last night) when you can look at a screen cap that shows Phil's eyes looking soooo pretty and all your brain can manage to think is "SIDEBURN". -_-

I've done a lot of S01E01 re-watches recently while trying to ensnare new LoM minions, so I guess the timey-wimey hair issue finally stuck out a bit too much to ignore... just like that little piece sticking out the side of Gene's head. <3
