Ashes to Ashes

[kaliha]

Spoilery rambling behind the cut.


[x] I remember that 9 o'clock news ident
[x] I like the fact Alex knows what's going on.
[x] Do I like Alex's prologue more than Sam's? I'm unsure.
[x] PROPER EIGHTIES TITLE SEQUENCE! WIN!
[x] "Take that seatbelt off you're a police officer not a bloody vicar!" ILU Gene
[x] GENE DIDN'T DRIVE THROUGH THE CARDBOARD BOXES. Gene you are now made of fail. Bad Gene.
[x] My love for Gene is fickle, like the sea.
[x] Stretchy plastic keyrings. Now, that's my childhood.
[x] "This is my bloody fantasy, and I will be listened too!"
[x] I LOVE that gold foil wallpaper. Mmmmmmm. That would look lovely in my bedroom that would.
[x] Asploding dog! Noes!!!
[x] Ouch, noes!
[x] Worth at least a million, can you even imagine it??
[x] "That depends on ... who's doing the thrusting." Sam was never this fun, and I loved him dearly.
[x] Alex does really cope well in a crisis.
[x] Chris is a closest New Romantic. I liked his Clockwork Orange eye makeup.
[x] "I'll let you stamp my bum." "I'll get m'coat."
[x] "Dynamite? Ace!"
[x] I want a red filing cabinet.
[x] It's Drake's mum! And she's a bit of a bitch.
[x] Oh lift doors that won't close! lol.
[x] "You appear to be drunk in charge of a handbag." "Piss off you lardy fascist." I love their relationship, it's so bitchy.
[x] I wonder if Gene's rat of despair is related to Ianto's emo tummy!rats?
[x] Pink wafer biscuits! Can you even buy them any more?
[x] I never thought I'd see Gene Hunt doing the conga.
[x] What a lovely set of moons. Ahem.

Enjoyed it a lot more than last weeks. I think it's beginning to settle down and get into it's stride. Plus Alex can be just as obnoxious as Gene which is refreshing to say the least.

I want to get into it, but I just...I don't like Alex. Or Keeley Hawes. Whoops D:

To be honest, I'm not that sure that we're supposed to actually like Alex. She is rather a bitch.

LOL I love Alex!

I kind of love how Alex doesn't seem to be taking anything seriously. Even when she sees someone being abused. In LOM, Sam would be yelling at Gene about prisoner rights. Whereas in A2A, Alex is all "Whatever... It's all in my head anyways."

I loved loved loved this episode, and I did last week's as well. I think I'm enjoying it even more than Life on Mars, because there's so much more I recognise from that era -- true nostalgia.

Pink wafer biscuits! Can you even buy them any more?
I had them a few years ago, so I'm thinking yes? Mmm, could eat them now actually!

They had them in Sainsbury's this evening. I bought fig rolls, though.

Excellent! Know what I'll be investing in soon!

I agree, this episode really made up for last weeks. Not completely, but a good way. It was very enjoyable :)
