Well, so I told myself I that I would wait to come back until I had some really epic fic to post. And…I do. Only…it’s a big Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes crossover WIP
( Read more... )
*raises hand* Love Life on Mars. Have seen first 4 eps of Ashes to Ashes and am not sure if I like it, I spend to much time being horrified and embarrassed at the sexual harassment and sexism she has to put up with and saying Was it really that bad in 1981? OMG REALLY? I continue to love Gene Hunt though!
I just posted a link to a LoM/AtA vid that's really cool, in case you haven't seen it.
Ooh, yes: I LOVE that vid. So clever and well done. Plus, that song is totally addictive.
The sexism in A2A doesn't bother me so much (I've dealt with worse shit at work recently); my issues with it stem more from the feeling that the creators don't really know what the show's about anymore. Still, the fun bits and the AWESOME AMAZING HOTNESS OF GENE HUNT sufficiently outweigh that, I think. ;-)
Sadly, I'm learning that it's ALL too possible in 2007 (or 2008). I spent much of last year at a horrible job with a creepy boss who gave unsolicited shoulder rubs and called the female workers "sweetie." (Can I have an EW?) My current position's much better, but I'm a woman in a male-dominated industry (car craft mags) and some of the offensive sexist shit that they print just blows my mind. I've tried to gently call them on it, but I've been completely rebuffed. LE SIGH.
Three would be nice! I read an interview with Philip Glenister in which he said he thought they might stop at two, but maybe he can be persuaded? NEED MORE GENE HUNT KTHX.*
*'Cause he puts the sex back in sexism? I confuse myself sometimes.
It's definitely worth watching. It's also definitely not as good as LoM, but despite some headdesky moments, I enjoyed it a ton and am really looking forward to next season.
Aww. :) You're so nice, and I feel like such a schmuck-I never said thank you for your lovely birthday note. I should definitely try to do you better than my grocery lists. They're pretty much: "Lean Cuisine meals. Oranges. Shampoo." But then sometimes I just go CRAZY and buy empanadas or something. TWIST ENDING.

I was reading the other day that the creators plan to do "bold" things with the plot (more than LoM!) because they're looking at three seasons.
