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.

And lots of exclamations, apparently. Ohh, but I really liked it. So much slashy goodness! And Sam went blind and I cared, even though I'd never seen the thing before.
And Gene helped him up. It was brilliant.
Although, to be fair, you've pretty much got me hooked as a viewer when you start the episode by having one half of a male police team kick the door down to the other's flat/house/bedroom/whatever and the rudely-awakened one acting like it wasn't that huge a deal. *brain goes boom*

This isn't a great one to start with, really, because you haven't really got to know Sam yet and in this episode he's behaving somewhat unusually due to the urgent circumstances, but I am very glad that you enjoyed it!
Sam and Gene are so insanely slashy. It is glorious.
