I love Life on Mars and the music is excellent.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

That reminds me that Life on Mars is available from On Demand (Comcast), but Episode One is only available until this Thursday. I'll have to find a blank tape and record it tonight (after Eureka).

Kathy - they're having a LoM marathon on BBCA this weekend. (Sunday from 1 pm on.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I read something that implied the music was different in the BBCA versions. With the cuts, I ahemmed but haven't watched it all yet.

The reactions I've seen to the cut versions on BBCA have been very near hysterical, and looking at the lists of cuts, I can see why.

I watched the first episode, and liked it, but I figure after increasing my Spooks love, to try and stick to the unsnipped.

Huh. I guess it wouldn't surprise me, but it's still a very impressive soundtrack.
The reversioning, however, is quite definitely of the suck. It's a good show regardless, but I really should get off my arse and find the UK versions.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I actually haven't seen the snipped BBCA version, but for reason, I'm more upset about change in the songs (apparently, they couldn't afford the licensing fees for some of the better-known songs for the airing on stateside, so several songs were switched/substituted with something else) than the cuts in the episodes themselves. I think it's because the music is such a vital part of the show and so seamlessly integrated in the unedited version.
I may TiVo the marathon on Sunday and see how much they are changed. Hmmm.

Okay, now I *really* have to see the UK versions, because, dayum. The BBCA soundtrack rocks my world, and I'd been boggling over their ability to afford it. If there's more, I must have it.

I thought I read somewhere that the On Demand version is the complete BBC one, not the cutup version shown on BBCA. I'll have to look at the run time when I get home to be sure, though.
