It is a very divisive ending. I like it and I think tere are lots of theories to be worked out from it, which is cool, but the literal facts of it are kind of bizarre - but I wonder if A2A will eventually shed more light on this. Very intriguing!
(And, btw, waiting a week was cool - they showed it in Feb/March time the first time around, and it lit up the dullest bit of the year with waiting for each ep to come round).
Heh! No, Camerbwick Green is the TV moment of the decade for me. Plasticene Gene and Sam, :lol:! ("Oh dear. Is he beating up a nonce?")
It is something else, though, and I'm so glad you got to see it and weren't disappointed.
(A2A, if you do get to see it, feels very different - Simm's absence takes some getting used to, but S1 is brilliantly circular. And oh-so-very 80s - I could get the visual humour in that one as I never could with LoM).
I watched the last episode with a friend who'd never seen the rest and she kept referring to Gene as the bad guy, and me and her other friend kept having to go, "No, no, it's not like that!" Ah, Gene Hunt is just fantastic. (And Philip Glenister for that matter.) And Liz White as Annie, yes.
I'll try and stop being incoherently gleeful that you like it now. ;-)
