Life On Mars

[Slaky311]

BBC's new detective show. Guy trying to solve murders in 2006 gets hit by car and wakes up in the same spot in 1973. Only been one episode so far, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing more of them. Anyone catch this?

I meant to watch it because of all the pub, but only tuned in about halfway through and decided to wait until another time.  Is it super-heavy on 1973-references?  Is there a lot of disbelief to suspend?

Changing topics, the guy who covered all the David Bowie songs on the Steve Zissou soundtrack did a great version of "Life On Mars."

Seu Jorge is a bad ass in Life Aquatic. But then again, I'm gay for that movie, if it were a man anyway. If it's a chick then I'm straight for it.

Anyhizz, I think it was heavy on 1973 references, but not super-heavy. It would help to live or have lived in Manchester to get everything I'm sure. They have the part where he gets crushed by a car and sent back to the past on YouTube...it's fucking awesome.

Also, suspending your disbelief is part of it a little...it's so unclear whether he is in a coma or actually in 1973...they made it really murky in that regard which is what really made me enjoy the episode. Just watch it.

I'm sure you have it, but FEEI (for everyone else's information), The Life Aquatic is $5.99 previously viewed if you have a Netflix account.  I just ordered it.  Awesome.

So that was the first of many FEEIs, eh Kermit? I can only assume that's why you abbreviated it and then typed it out right after that.

Oh, yeah.  How is that job at the MLA going anyhow, Slaky?

If I can't give you shit, my life is meaningless even more meaningless.

I know.  I was just lamely trying to return the shit with a little note that says, "No, thanks.  I already have some of my own."

Let's shirtless hug it out, you little bitch.

Finallly finished the first episode, very cool stuff.  The writers could have made his situation a lot more desperate (not that it wasn't desperate enough) by making his co-workers a hundred times more obstinate, but they held off.  Too much despair makes Kelly bored.  Very good start.

Life on Mars = British Quantum Leap?

If it is, I am upgrading my cable package so that I get BBC America.

[James Westfall]

It's leap without the leaping...

Damn.  That doesn't sound nearly as cool.  They really need to start making Quantum Leap again.  There was no reason for that show to come off the air.

Well, it did get a bit preachy at the end...
