Life On Mars S02E08 WS PDTV XviD-AFFiNiTY

as a whole i enjoyed the complete series of "life on mars" but, i have to say i
was dissapointed with the ending, it was so preictable. as soon as he went into
the tunnel i knew he was going to wake from his coma & even ray charles saw the
suicide ending coming. bring on the 80's, & now as gene hunt would say "it's
beer o'clock."

*spoiler alert*

during the train scene where sam tells annie - "i promise i won't leave ya" the picture squeezes and has
two dots in the top left.

maybe it is just my download. i am going to try and redownload it to see if it continues.

sorry for the double post. my browser was acting kinda wonky.

it might have been predictable but it was a very brave thing to show - dorothy
preferring "oz" rather than "kansas" - but sam had to kill himself to get back
there and suicide is never easy to show on tv and they nailed it. when the time
came for the jump i bet everyone wanted him to jump really bad. i was afraid
they'd pull a bad cop-out or cut it right there so i was so delightfully
surprised when he did that i jumped out of my seat in joy.

btw, ashes to ashes might be a rehash but i adored the character so much that
i'll watch it if only for hunt's great quotes.

oh, thanks for whoever posted it! :d

y'all might want to read stephen donaldson's "chronicles of thomas covenant the
unbeliever" ... clearly (to me, anyway) a big chunk of inspiration for the
underlying concept: hero hit by car, wakes in unfamiliar cercumstances (sorry
... wouldn't let me spell it right <g>), and grapples with the question of which
is "real." the covenant books (2 trilogies, and a new series in the works) were
ny times best sellers starting in the early 1980s. (a fantasy backdrop rather
than 1970s cops, but a phenomenal read!)

i watched it on tv so haven't downloaded this yet. i'm a bit concerned that a
member posted that they had "wierd video issues" with this rip as i'm
collecting them all to have on dvd. i've been half waiting for river to proper
this release. can anyone who has downloaded it and watched it comment on
whether it played alright for them or not please? thanks!

in case you all missed it abc(the us network) has picked up life on mars,
apparently this is one of the reasons it wrapped in two seasons. the disney
bucks bought it, and it will be americanized soon. the man at the helm is the
same man that brought you (drum roll please)......

you can form your own view point on what that will mean, but i am already
breaking out the beer and getting ready to cry in it. there goes the cutting
edge and here comes a cross between starsky and hutch and the streets of san
francisco, plus a warm and fuzzy feel, too.

hats off to the british version, one of the best shows in years. really enjoyed
and started with s1e1 to show the new wife last night. good to go back and see
where it started, rough, edgy and very topical.

thats been one of the best shows i have seen in years....still there's a
saying "end on a high", it makes better veiwing than dragging it out.

i second that, it is very odd, but i didn't have chance to watch it when it was
aired on tv, so dunno if its intentional or a fault with the capture.

the ending for me felt abit like they didn't know how to end it. i usually get
a "feeling" after a good episode, something that leaves an effect on me, but i
didnt get it with this last episode. i'm going to re-watch it and see if it
changes my opinion.

what a great ending - i somehow knew they wouldn\'t let him stay in the dull
\"real\" world, it just didn\'t seem right.

has anyone read the novel \"neverwhere\" by neil gaiman?
because there is a huge similarity to the book concerning the story of lom. it
just popped into my mind when sam was on the roof and i knew it would end the
same way gaiman\'s neverwhere did (people who've read the book know what i
mean). maybe one of the writers was inspired by it 😉

i had those video-issues too, the video shrinks a little, producing a black box
around the picture. for me, this is not a problem, everything is there, nothing
is missing, just a few pixels smaller for a short time.

brilliant ending, kind of perfect in my opinion. i am totally watching forward
for the spin-off featuring dci hunt (i read that somewhere a few weeks ago)

this was the best "last episode" i have seen since startrek the next generation 🙂

the co-creator of life on mars has stated that lead character sam tyler
definitely died during the last ever episode of the hit bbc show.

the ambiguous ending to the finale left viewers uncertain of the policeman
