Life on Mars -- "All the Young Dudes" -- 3/18/09

Life on Mars

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Sam goes undercover to infiltrate a gang suspected of truck hijackings. He's hard-pressed to keep his cover intact, and his attraction to the gang leader's sister (Paige Turco) could be a problem, too. Jimmy McManus: Peter Greene.

I'm watching this right now and something confuses me. Why wouldn't adult Sam want young Sam to so much as look at him? As long as he makes a point to not tell him who he really is, I doubt he'd ever remember the encounter.

I just think he could have talked to the kid like his mom asked instead of making a big deal out of it.

Paige Turco is now more hot than when she appeared in the TMNT films.

Soooooo...is the finale going to basically be all about explaining what happened to Sam? Because they sure haven't done much with it the last couple weeks.

Good episode nonetheless.

That's what I'm guessing, aktick.

Spoiler:
It looks like they'll be emulating the UK ending but have the finale set in the past rather than the present.


I did not see that ending coming at all.

And I agree 100%, dx23, about Paige Turco's current hotness.

Only two eps left.

I like how the opening played off the plot of the last episode, with a criminal looking like Sam after having the Gretchen Mol double part last week. Of course it was Sam, but it was a nice little wtf moment.

Great to see O'Mara and Paige Turco reunited (they starred on The Agency - man, I miss that show). She is one beautiful woman. Great episode.

I thought the same way, although at first I thought the writers were just being lazy having another "double".

I loved O'Mara having an Irish accent, and Imperioli's comment on how good he was. Rivaled the comment on Chuck when Yvonne Strahovski used her native accent, and Chuck commented that it sounded horrible.

That all said, I thought this episode was stellar from top-to-bottom, capped by the cliffhanger. I saw it coming, but desperately didn't want it to happen. Powerful. I'm going to miss this show; I have enjoyed it.

I've been enjoying the show all along - but this week was even better than most! Definitely going to miss this one when it's gone!

I liked it. Wish they had dropped all the lost in time stuff and just made it a 70's cop drama.

This show gets better every week. Imperioli had some fantastic lines in this episode!

"He's magically malicious" gave me a good chuckle, and the stuff between him and Chris in the stake out van was classic.

Sad that it's ending so soon.

Awesome to see them together, but sucks that the show was canceled. Was a kickass show.
