DI Tyler Thinks He's From The Future. Cuckoo.
I loved that it said "And now, Life on Mars. In colour." before the episode. Hee!
OH MY GOD, SAM IS INSANE. (Well, we knew that already, of course, but he spent this episode being even more insane than usual.) I thought it started slowly at first - at the beginning, I was thinking 'oh no, do I not love Life on Mars any more?' - but then oh my God, I was absolutely hooked.
It's very different to the last time Sam had a very personal interest in a case (Episode Six in the last series, the case parallelling his mother's decision to have his life support turned off): there, he was being especially cautious for fear that somebody might die; here, he is being especially ruthless for fear that the suspect will get away. It was interesting to see Sam and Gene being, essentially, completely reversed. And then, of course, they eventually joined forces and were awesome, as always.
I somehow managed to find "we thought you'd like to die together" adorable, which is weird, frankly.
I loved it when Sam came out of the car, and he stumbled and collapsed and told Gene to go after the criminal, but instead Gene came back and helped him up. The Sam/Gene is still alive and well in this series, obviously.
And Gene respects Annie now, which is really rather lovely.
THERE WAS, HOWEVER, NO WALLSLAMMING. HOW CAN THERE BE NO WALLSLAMMING? DID GENE PHYSICALLY ATTACK SAM AT ALL? HOW CAN THERE BE AN EPISODE OF LIFE ON MARS WITHOUT GENE PUNCHING SAM IN THE GUT OR SLAMMING HIM AGAINST A WALL?
I was not able to watch Episode Two tonight, so please don't spoil me for that.
