Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


I thought it was a great twist and I didn't see it coming at all - I suspected the godfather quite a bit. I've no one to discuss it with here as my OH gave up after the first episode - couldn't stick it after LoM! I enjoyed it all in all and if you do think of it as Alex obviously did then it did hang together. Interesting what happens in the next series next year - I mean how they follow on with explaining Alex's thinking, which must surely alter now???!!!

Must be great fun being a script writer!

Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


TELL ME!!! I didn't see it! I thought there was something insiduous about the bloke with the beard (the godfather) . . . did he turn out to be Alex's Dad? Was he the clown?

Don't worry about spoiling it . . . I just want to KNOW

Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


Well Yola, if you're sure? Alex's dad knew about the mother and the godfather having an affair and it was the dad who planned the car bomb so as to kill himself, his wife and his daughter. He hired the bomber who was in prison to rig the detonator to the cassette player and his law firm got the man out of prison in order to do it. That's it in a nutshell - but an extra little twist - in this time frame, with Alex as an adult witness, it was Gene who came and scooped up the young Alex, not the godfather.

Oh and the dad was the clown too!

Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


Interesting! Now the clown's a bit of a red herring - a bit of a so-what in my book, but there is some profound significance in the Gene/young Alex thing. Maybe not in the bearing of the overall plot, but it has a positive resonance for me. Not sure why.

Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


Well, it could alter the time line ...... that's one reason why I am interested how the plot will be taken forward in the next series.

Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


How did older Alex explain the younger Alex? I mean there are two of them in the world at the same time and both have met. Doesn't that interfere with the space -time continuum ( ref: Back to the Future )
Oh its so confusing...

Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


Can't remember exactly PoshPuss, but I don't think adult Alex and child Alex actually spoke to each other or interacted in any way.

Re: Life on Mars >>> Ashes to Ashes


Ah yes, I see. So they must avoid each other from now on then. Although if she knows that the bearded godfather is no longer her saviour how will it affect Molly in the future.
Please put us out of our misery soon Auntie Beeb!
