Life on Mars

Recommended Posts

I am so pissed at ABC! For cancelling this show!!! That was one of the best endings to a show ever. Can you imagine how much better the ending would have been had you been invested in the characters for three or four years?

I am so depressed now... I haven't been this depressed in a show ending since ST:TNG or DS9

F*CK!!

I thought the ending was OK since the show was kind of short lived. However, if I had invested 3 or 4 years into these characters and then all of a sudden found out that those "characters" weren't real...I would have been pissed.

I think I would have preferred an actual time travel scenario, however difficult that might have been to be believable.

BTW...anyone going to check out that new show that is going to replace Life On Mars? I like a couple of the actors on there so I might check it out.

Damn, I completely agree, 100%. The ending was so crazy, yet it made complete sense. They really did it right. Kudos to the producers and writers for going out like this. One of the best series ever.

Yeah, the ending made sense. I'm glad it wasn't a time traveling scenario. I would like to think that I would have been satisfied with that ending. And with the title of the show, that's the way it was always going to end. So, they didn't make up something stupid just to end it. Like what will wind up happening with Heroes...

And the new show? The Unusuals. Yeah, I'm going to watch a new ABC show so they can not bring it back next season. I'm so sick of cop shows, they are lucky they got me to watch LoM.

The Unusuals looks dumb to me... I doubt I'll watch it. ABC's pissed me off anyway... I won't be watching much on there since they cancelled LoM... come to think of it, there's not another show that I watch on ABC, LoM was it. Heroes is on NBC, 24 & Terminator: SCC, and Fringe are on Fox and 'The Unit' which is also cancelled is on CBS... ABC sucks donkey balls. What else do they have???

Look at this list, 15 out of the 26 listed are for humans with vaginas... and the rest are marginal anyway...

As far as I know, The Unit has not been cancelled.

As for The Unusuals, I have my doubts. It definitely has "dumb" potential, but I'll check it out just in case it turns out to be one of those quirky, interesting shows. I will say that Castle is actually pretty good. Nathan Fillion from Firefly is in it, and it's actually a fun cop show.

I also liked the finale of LoM. At first, I couldn't make up my mind, but then I realized that they fooled me. In a million years I would have never thought that is what was going on, so I am glad they didn't take the obvious route and make it actual time travel or a coma. And I liked the twist of "Gene" being his dad.

Pretty good article about the show...

http://www.tvshark.com/read/?art=arc3323

"Few days before we shot it, we handed the actors the script and it was pretty extraordinary," Appelbaum says about the reaction of the cast to the ending. "I remember Michael Imperioli calling us and leaving us these amazing messages. Someone whose had a history with a controversial ending, with 'The Sopranos'. He was over the moon with it."

One question... since "Gene" turned out to be "Sam's" father, and "Sam" had sex with "Gene's" daugther... was it incest??? :eek:
