I hope that Life does a soundtrack album - because it is so good.

It's Teddybears' Ahead of My Time (feat. Daddy Boastin').

Awesome, Vonnie! I knew there was a song that I'd really liked from the show but haven't had a chance yet to sit down and figure out what scene it was from.

Large curd cottage cheese and pineapple:

Just read an interview with DL and SS, and basically not only do we get the back nine, but the other two eps that never got to be written because the strike hit before they even finished the first set of ordered eps. So, another 11 at least, and not just the 9!

I'm waiting for that link to come up - are you talking about a season longer than 22 episodes?

Or are you saying that they had written 20 episodes already but not the last two?

Or was their original order for less than 13?

heh. I'm saying the originial order was for 13 (which maybe I was the only one thick enough to not know), but they only manage to get 11 written for the strike. So on top of the back nine, there's also the 2 leftover from the original order.

I, um, just mainlined the whole season-so-far of Life. I do not think that having that same experience is all of why I compare it to Life on Mars, although they're not really quite the same. It just sort of feels similar, in ways I can't pin down well.

I do think it would/will bear up well on repeat viewing. I'm fairly certain the writers were playing the long game from the start. I also like that there's plenty left to do, despite a first round of answers.

(While we're on the subject of his time in solitary, I think it would be good to see some evidence of the "broke nearly every bone in his body". But it took us, what, 2 years to see House's leg? I can trust the writers and wait for the right moment.)

Can I comment on how unsurprised I am that Trudes has a thing for the redhead? There have been a lot of redheads on the show, actually, though most of them are women. Also, Damian Lewis looks a lot like Seth Green: they need to play brothers in something.

I think I'll go get another apple out of the fridge.

Seth Green?

Okay.

Maybe the idea that there is some vast conspiracy in the upper reaches of the police administration is the similarity you feel to Life on Mars. Plus, at least at the beginning, Crews was kind of like a man out of his time.
