My, that was well said. WTG! If you don't convince at least a few people with that masterpiece of pimpage, I'd be surprised.
This is a masterpiece of pimpage. WTG. Now, on to the analysis...
Oh, the music! I haven't been so concious of the soundtrack of a show since the first time I watched Cowboy Bebop. In most tv the music is background noise, only really noticed when its overlaid with a climactic kiss, death, or closing scene. But you really feel the period music all throughout this show. And since this is a generation of music I'm not that familiar with beyond a few of my parents' CDs, I'm really getting a kick out hearing all this stuff. This show is making me want to buy its soundtrack. Like, pay money for it.
Yes! I got the same feeling when House introduced me to Baba O'Reilly. Whole new vistas of awesome music opening up before me! And now finally I get why people like Bowie's music; Life On Mars is fantastic.
He's quite remarkable at coping, actually, and his character does it with honesty and grace. He's off in space (dreaming of life-support machines) and totally grounded at the same time. It's very interesting to watch. [...]I didn't at first, but after a few episodes I also began to find him a very sexy character. The actor not so much on a purely surface level, but the character... he's got charm and energy. He's dangerous enough to be exciting, smart enough to be interesting, and kind enough that you think he actually might be safe to crush on. Trustworthy. And, also, the open-collar look of those 1970s shirts is REALLY flattering.
*head bobbing madly* Yes! He's a really, genuinely good guy. Not perfect by any stretch, but solid and morally conscious and I have SO MUCH LOVE. Gah. About the time his slightly froggy features became dear to me, I knew I was lost. ;)
Thanks for pimping this out to people. I love to see the fandom (and fanworks!) grow. I hope somebody does your vid idea, it sounds neat!
Um. I wrote a short Sam/Annie fic back during the first blush of my obsession with the show, if you're interested.
