I wish i was kidding, ita. one thing i forgot to mention? Gene Hunt's name wasn't Gene Hunt! (that came about because they were on a gene...hunt. such clever writers!) his name? Major Tom. my eyes may never stop rolling.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, it's a different sort of different from the UK series. Sets itself apart, and all that.
I wonder if they were always going to do that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I do think the very last shot threw the whole thing into a realm of less than real, though. Like, this could just be another fantasy.

What was the very last shot?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
basically, it was kind of Aliens-like and they all woke up from these pods that had the whole gang in a coma-like state. apparently, they were all scientists from the year 2035 and on their way to Mars to find some kind of "genes" so they can cure cancer. there was meteor storm(!!!) and it messed with the virtual world the scientists had set up for themselves. Sam wanted to be a cop in 2008, but instead was a cop in 1973 with memories from 2008! and he fell in love with his fellow scientist and they gave each other the googly eyes when they woke up andandand...
Holy Jesus mother of God WHAT.
Gene Hunt's name wasn't Gene Hunt! (that came about because they were on a gene...hunt. such clever writers!)
Okay, that's kind of hilarious.
his name? Major Tom. my eyes may never stop rolling.
Oh dear.
And Thomas's total response.
Hee, seriously.

That ending is appalling, tiggy. I gave up and believed you ahead of time. But maybe the network was pranking?

I was just about to post the EXACT same reaction.
Tiggy, please tell me this was a bad April Fool's joke?

I just watched the last ten minutes because I had to see it for myself.
GENETIC DNA??
IS THERE ANY OTHER KIND?
ita, the last shot was of a 1973-looking white shoe stepping onto Mars. Rather than space boots.
