Season 2, Episode 5:
Sam takes a backseat for much of this episode as the others try to solve an old case.
Good on the flashback sequences and seeing things unfold of what really happened. |

Season 2, Episode 6:
In hindsight now it probably should not have been a surprise on who Layla turned out to be.
When Sam mentioned Starsky and Hutch to Gene, Gene had not heard of that show. That is because it would not debut until a couple of years later in 1975.
Overall this could have been a better episode without Toolbox and that ferret.
Chris gets a very good shot in this episode. Bravo. |

Season 2, Episode 7:
Very good penultimate episode in which Gene got framed as a murder suspect.
The night this episode was shown turned out to be a double for John Simm as he narrated Making the Monkees which followed Life on Mars in transmission. |

Season 2, Episode 8:
What a confusing episode.
The series had a great soundtrack, but I was rather hoping they'd get a chance to play James Blunt's 1973. It would have been perfect when Sam got back to 2006 and if he was thinking about Annie:
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973 |

| That would have been alot better if it had simply ended when he jumped OR skipped over the whole bit in 2007. He should have turned back rather than leave them to die and then go back. That was just dumb. And the ep was so good up to that pt as well. What a tremendous shame. |

Got a real shock when that little girl turned up at Sam's door.
Surprised there is explanation about the Mars part of the show's title.
Stunned upon seeing Sam running on top of the building when the Life On Mars song was playing.
Honestly I do not know whether to be happy or sad about Sam deciding to go back to 1973.
What's left now to watch is the spin-off Ashes to Ashes as well as the US version. |

Me neither. I really enjoyed the series, and the last episode was sufficieintly suspenseful and creative, whilst tying it all together. It does seem fitting that he returns to what has been his 'reality', even though it is in a coma. It is weird, though -he jumped off a building.... wouldn't that kill him, rather than reinduce a coma?! I know I'm thinking too hard about it  , but I don't know how I feel about the ending! |

Colm Meaney is Gene Hunt and fellow Irishman Jason O'Mara is Sam. Rachelle Lefevre is Annie Cartwright.
It is produced and written by David E. Kelley. So far it is on a pilot stage which completed shooting last year.
Article says that it is likely to be shown later this year in the States if it gets a full series commission. |

Quite surreal seeing Sam shaking the hands of his mentor.
Historical note: Sam mentioned the number of policemen consuming alcohol by the time Margaret Thatcher becomes Prime Minister. In 1973 Thatcher was Education Secretary, a couple of years she would oust Ted Heath as Tory leader and become Prime Minister in 1979.
Quite harrowing seeing the last moments of Harry Woolf as a free man. |

This episode featured an Irishman called O'Brien. Incidentally Colm Meaney, an Irish actor, who will play Gene Hunt in the US version had played a Miles O'Brien in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Then again O'Brien is a common Irish name.
Nice use of the IRA as a plot device.
Annie remarked about a woman one day running the country. Like the previous episode, this foretells the future of who is going to be in charge of the UK. |

Nice to see Georgia Taylor who I have seen before in Blackpool and its sequel Viva Blackpool.
Gene says that Roger Twilling pushing a bird off a car does not make him a bad bloke. What!!! Unbelievable.
Funny the way Gene reacted to Stuart Bator's name.
In reference to Sam, Gene says "We should all learn from the Master." How prophetic.
Amusing the names which would become well known in future are used here. It's like the name that Marty McFly used in Back to the Future Part III. |

Found out from Andrew Mercado in the Sydney Sunday Telegraph that David E Kelley has given up the rights for the US version of Life On Mars as a result of securing a deal for his other show Boston Legal to be made for a final season.
The US version of Life of Mars will still be made under a new producer.
Also according to TV Tonight the series may go straight to Foxtel. |

I'm glad David E. Kelly isn't producing the show.....all the girls would be stick-thin and fake
I like the British version as when a main character dies, that's it! No bullsh*t like the yankee ones |
