Any problems, you just call the Gene Genie.*

Today's plan may include writing internship project but it will include reading seminar articles and pina colada (possibly together). Aaaand, looking at the time, lunch.

Last night I watched what I was shocked to realize was the Season Finale of Ashes to Ashes. Well, shocked because I'm silly that way. I mean, of course a season ends at the 8th episode. Anyway, it was awesome and amazing. I actually think it might be better than Life on Mars' first finale. (Except for the Sam!angst, which nothing can beat.) Whereas LoM has the creepy dreams to push us to the finale, A2A has the finale as a giant calendar deadline the whole season. Also, it just felt like a bigger revelation and had more oomf behind it. Plus, the Guv's speach had me cheering too. Gotta love Gene.

I swear, though, if Alex doesn't stop calling people constructs to their faces I'm going to have to smack her. Sam had his big crazy moments, but a) he didn't know what was going on and b) he acted pretty normal the rest of the time. Alex is just a bit too "Fuck the consequences because this isn't real" for me to be comfortable. I really like that Alex gets along with Ray, though.

therru:

I read an article about A2A in SFX magazine, and it said something to the effect that Alex *thinks* she knows what is going on, since she was working on Sam Tyler's story - but she is not Sam and she is not in Life on Mars, and she doesn't understand as much as she thinks she does.

I wonder if she is going to be a little less cock-sure from now on.

They are planning three series.

Isn't it 2009 soon?

There. That's what's been bothing me about Alex so much. Cock-sure. Much too much of it.
