Also, Alex/Sam. Yes? No?
Somewhere along the line, Ashes to Ashes appears to have become something that I actually watch and enjoy, rather than something that I watch only because I feel on some level that I ought to. Alex is annoying me far less than she used to, and I am gradually recovering from the tragic lack of Sam and Annie. In fact, I may even be developing a certain fondness for Alex/Gene. Don't tell anyone.
It's still not one of my favourite programmes, but it's something I can actually look forward to now. I am interested in seeing how it ends. This pleases me. (It bothers me a bit that the writers are trying so hard to make Shaz awesome, though. Do you know what I mean? Am I imagining things? Because I am contrary, I cannot love Shaz until the writers stop throwing a bunch of awesome at her and saying 'LOVE THIS CHARACTER; SHE WAS CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING AWESOME AND ADORABLE'.)
I think I like the fact that it has more of an emphasis on the crazy mind stuff (shut up, you know what I mean) going on than Life on Mars did. And, all right, maybe I 'ship Alex/Gene a lot. Shut up. At the beginning, my attitude was 'DON'T YOU DARE GET TOGETHER WITH GENE, ALEX'; now I seem to be going 'ASJHFJHGDHJGH SNOG ALREADY SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS'. This was unexpected, but, um, all right?
(I think I may find Gene less attractive in Ashes to Ashes than I did in Life on Mars, though. Alas! On the other hand, Chris and Ray are brilliant in it. Ray definitely gets the 'Most Improved Since Life on Mars' award.)
