This show is really good, but I don't have have as much to say about it as I thought I would. I think that some of it may be me having less affinity with cop shows that say medical shows or sci-fi or period drama. Some of it is unfamiliarity with the culture it's set in, Manchester, the 70s, 70s cop shows, even the UK. Like I had no clue what the little girl was all about until I looked up the show on wikipedia and discovered that she is the equivalent of the color bars in the US. Is there some good analysis and review of the show that anyone can recommend that would help me appreciate the show more? I haven't explored in depth, but here's a couple places you might find interesting. domeofstars.com/forum/versaphile.com/lom/discussions.bbcamerica.com/jiveforums/thread.jspa?threadID=1845

I wonder. Is Morgan the real bad guy here? Sam should ditch his bullshit.

Dude! I sooo went to the Normal Again place too. First thing I thought of. What a painful episode that was. Creeped me out big time. Creeps me out to this day! I'll confess that when I watch it now, I often speed thru the "reality where Buffy is crazy" scenes.

Walking toward the light? Not going to endear him to Gene and Company.

So, where does Sam go from here? Only two seasons? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I guess it had to end some time. But, I'm not a happy camper.

Holy crap. Leave them to die, you've done your job Sam, you're strong.
But he can't do that. Oh, no!!
You've done it. One simple move and you're home. Come back to us.
Damn!! And he was in a coma? Tumor and swelling and creepy smile from "Doctor"?
Hyde ward . . . OK this is truly freaksome!
Back to the future and over the rainbow . . .
I have the same questions that he does. Did he travel in time? Was it all hallucination? Was it alternate reality?
I made a promise to someone. And he always keeps his promises.
Will he go back somehow? Save them?

Maybe he meets them all in the 21st century. Annie is real, now. That would satisfy the romantic in me.

What the? How the hell did he do that? Knock himself out or die?
And, this is so very Buffy as well. He chooses his "fantasy" friends and cohorts and saves them.

I wonder. Is Morgan the real bad guy here? Sam should ditch his bullshit. He sure seems to be. I mean, I can sort of see how by symbolically killing off the non-real people, Sam is released from the fantasy world. But it's mean. And the Doctor in the now-future had a not-nice smile too. And now Sam is having trouble dealing with how things are in his "real" life. The one he kept wanting 1970 to be like. And he can't feel. Bowie again. Sam wants to go back. Sam thinks this maybe isn't really real either. Jump! And he's back. This makes me think of that Spanish movie. The one that they re-made with Tom Cruise as vanilla sky . . . Abre Los Ojos! That's it. The jump off the roof into another realit. Heh! Gene doesn't want help after being shot. And he finally kisses Annie and gets back to the reality he wants more. Change the radio. And the little girl turns off your set. Cool! Law man beating up the wrong guy . . .

Now my mind is going to some very odd places . . . like an Annie 30 years older, visiting coma-Sam in 2007 . . . maybe even bringing a 30 years older Sam from the '70's to visit his coma-ized now-time self. My mind is a wacky place.
