I just finished S3 of Ashes to Ashes and my brain is stuck on WTF?

Like, really? WTF?
That ending just doesn't work for me at all. Or maybe I'm not quite understanding it, but I think I am.

Gene Hunt as a guiding light is tru fax, but I didn't need it to be literal.
I still love show. Just not that bit. *shrugs* I'm glad there was a S3, because I love the characters.

As I stayed away from spoilers until we could watch this as a family, I have no idea if this is an opinion shared by any of fandom. Sorry if it's not.

I now have a burning desire to re-watch Life on Mars.
I miss Sam Tyler so much after this season.

I think the ending was very much signposted during S3. I personally felt a little underwhelmed but also sad that Gene was left alone again! Personal choice didn't seem to come into it! And I think I would have prefered Gene as a supernatural force rather than a lost soul, Would have a been a great take on what angels are really like.

Hmm, could have been. I personally just loved not having a reason for the whole thing. It was just brilliantly random. No explanation would have satisfied me, I guess. So S2 ending is my canon ending, I think. I'm find with that.

I was, indeed, an odd ending. I kinda liked how they used the pub as the gateway to Heaven though!

Still prefer Life on Mars. And Simmy is disturbingly hot in real life...

*G* Yeah, the pub was good.
