Happy Birthday, Benno! It's a pretty good day for a birthday, isn't it? I hope your day is wonderful.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Benno!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Anyone been watching the new season of Ashes to Ashes? Fay? Fiona? It's taken a leap forward in quality. Not quite Life on Mars level yet, but much more well-written than previous seasons.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have. I think I'm a couple eps behind, but I'm getting caught up. I agree that this season is going well. Particularly being a LoM fan, I get excited when they talk about Sam (Although why she doesn't call Annie, I do not know)

Good point. I wonder if they're going to deal with that.

I know that it's mostly beside the point, and she isn't "real" to Alex, but I'd like to see them go to that direction. Maybe a bit of stunt casting, if you will. Seems like she'd be relevant if you're trying to make sense of "what's the point of this place?"
eta: I think particularly with the "how to be a female police officer" theme

Yes, that's been interesting. Have you seen Shaz's episode?

I've been watching. I'm pretty sure they're preparing the ground for Sam to show up again. I have asked myself the Annie question too, but Alex probably doesn't know much about Annie. None of the men has mentioned her, and who knows how much Sam referred to her in his notes (they only really got together after he "returned" anyway). So I'm not surprised she's not seeking her out.
This series is solid, but it's never been as good as LoM at its peak, and I'm quite glad it's the last. I just wonder if the "solution" to the "mystery" will be (a) given at all; (b) pulled-out-of-their-asses or (c) actually make some kind of narrative sense .

Hmm to me there is no explanation that will be as satisfying as leaving it a mystery. I kind of hope she does wake up though.
