Yeah, the retro-70s stuff grabbed me right away, especially the music and the clothes. (The huge lapels! The bellbottoms!) I really love the whole setting.
Note to self: religion freaky.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Whereas I don't really care about the retro stuff at all and sometimes wonder why they couldn't tell these stories in present day. I'm not familiar enough with '70s Britain to know how much has changed. One thing that sort of bugs me is, what, police corruption is a completely new concept to Sam? Surely, he's encountered it in 2006 as well. It's solidly done, however, so I don't give it too much guff. I also enjoy Nelson, the bartender.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think I've heard guff used this way--what do you mean by it?

"Shit"? This seems to be yet another example of my using the wrong word. It sounded right.

In my head, guff is something you give a person--backtalk, truculence, that sort of stuff.
Oh, for people who watch LoM and have seen Hot Fuzz --did the Andys remind you of the two LoM detectives? Whose names completely escape me?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sam and Gene. Unless you mean Chris and Ray.

Chris and Ray are the matched set, right? Yeah, them. Suck with memory, I do.
eta: Of course, all this S1 talk is making me think of S2 and getting a little choked up at the end.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Ray, definitely. But not Chris. Chris is the adorable, eager-to-please puppy.
OMG, I really have to catch up on S2 of LoM. Maybe this weekend. And I have all the unwatched Dresden Files on my TiVo and the last few episodes of SG-1 season 10 and... doesn't Eureka come back soon?

Eureka is July, if memory serves.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i've finished season one of LoM and have watched episode 1 of season two, but i'm almost afraid to go any further because of the reactions i've seen about the finale of season two. i hate long waits between shows. when does season three start? is there a date yet?
John Simm has climbed his way to the top of my very favorite british actors list.
