Yes, yes, I do want to get a hold of Ashes and will make every effort to do so just as soon as they decide to release it in this region. Guh. I need to stop falling in love with foreign shows... they're expensive, difficult to get a hold of, and no one ever knows what I'm talking about...
I'm intrigued though, by the idea of seeing the LoM team working without Sam, because one of the things I thought was clever about the show was how Sam was ALWAYS on screen and you never saw anything he didn't (well... except when he was high that one time...). But given Annie's comment in the first episode about how, if she didn't exist, then she must blink out of existence every time she left the room... yes. Very well played by the production team.
(must've been a lot of work for Simm though, making me even more impressed with his acting skillz).
And Gene is fantastic. I think my room mate has made the same mistake. She stumbled in on him making some awful racist comment, as he does, and she was all :O
Now I need her to actually watch the show and find context.
