Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Thrive to spite them

There are only 2 seasons of LoM. The creators felt they could only sustain the show for a limited amount of time and so decided only to do 2 seasons.

P-C's right there is talk of a spin off, although I'm not sure when it's going to be set, I heard it would be based around Gene.

Art Crawl!!!

I heard that it's going to be set in the '80s.

Umm, here is an article about it - which I haven't read because I still have two episodes of season 2 of LoM to watch.

So cannot speak to the spoileriness of the piece.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'd say it's pretty spoilery, so avoid it until you've seen the end.

Spoilery enough that I wouldn't read it unless you've seen the last episode of S2.

and sometimes wonder why they couldn't tell these stories in present day.

A major theme of the show, I think, is how police techniques have changed in the last 24 years.

I don't think there are plans for a S3, so I wouldn't wait. Consume, consume!

OMG! really?! i so can't handle the way the british do television. there's never enough (time)!

'spose i'll finish up season two asap then.

isn't there another Brit show with John Simm that's fairly recent? anyone seen it? worth *ahem*-ing?

It is hard to get used to, especially when it's fabulous and you just want more, but with LoM, I think it would have been hard to sustain the concept indefinitely. Which brings us back to skepticism about the American version. Last I'd heard, they'd only cast the "Annie" character. So much is going to depend on the Sam and Gene casting.

tiggy, he'll be appearing in the last couple of episodes of this season's Doctor Who. They'll be broadcast the end of June.

He was also in "State of Play" (as was Philip Glenister), which I never saw so I don't know what it's like, but as Bill Nighy, Kelly Macdonald and James McAvoy are also in it, and it's by Paul "Shameless" Abbott, it must be worth a look.

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

If I had the patience, I'd wait till any given UK series (which is what they call a season) is done and mainline it in a weekend. Never works out that way.

But I really appreciate what a short season can do for a storyline. And also when they just up and stop. Knowing there's an end (as opposed to series that want to go on for ever and ever) also makes a positive difference.

I did love that. Though I keep confusing it with "The State Within" with Jason Isaacs. Luckily I loved that too.
