Okay, so that was awesome, with a large dollop of weird, creepy on the side.
So, the guy in the hospital at the beginning, is this our Doctor McCreepypants?
Bad enough being shot/in a coma/in 1982, but some weird Princess Di obsessed wackjob follows you there? Tracks you down? Takes you captive and ties you to a hospital bed in his mad scientists lair of massive heebeejeebees? Not a good day for Alex. That's on top of the telly starting to talk (never a good sign), and the talking dog, and the little old man/lady.
And the Guv ... oh, the Guv. An abrasive asshole with a soft spot you can see from orbit. God, I love the Guv. The bit where the girl dies in his arms that was just killer. And "I know why you're here, Bolls. You only had to ask." He's the keeper of the faith. I'm kind of feeling like I need to watch Life on Mars again. Hello, divx playing dvd player, how awesome you are.
Chris's stripping? Hilarity.
Man. I don't have any thinky thoughts or detailed comments, mainly because I need to watch it again and digest it some, but mostly I'm just damned happy it's back, and I don't know what to say about the creepy, because we simply don't know much about it yet.
Welcome back, show. Damn, I missed you.
