I've just finish watching Life on Mars, brillant serie.
I know the writer said that Sam was in the afterlife, so that 1973 is suppose to be the "come/limbo/afterlife kinda parallel universe", but was just wondering what are our theories?
I just wonder if Sam will at some point come back A2A finale, as they never found his body. Watch two episodes of A2A, and will give it a try, but like LoM more so far.
It's best to compartmentalise LOM and series 1 of A2A as two completely different shows having nothing to do with each other.
I actually watched them the other way around: I watched A2A on BBC America when it aired series 1. I thought it was a cute little show, but it didn't profoundly affect me. I grew up in the 80s, so I ADORED the tacky 80s theme.
After the series aired, I decided to check out the show on which it was based, Life On Mars. I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! Life On Mars is the best show I have ever seen in all my life. I won't even bother to try to describe it in words.
If I had fallen in love with LOM first, and then waited with baited breath for the sequel to air, I would have been profoundly disappointed. Ashes Series 1 is a lame caricature of LOM.....But series 2 of A2A changes, and gets better. If you can stand to follow the episodes through the second series, you should then be able to incorporate your fandom of LOM into A2A. Good Luck!
I have watch LOM first, and when i watch A2A, at first, was not sure i like it, but it did grown on me, and love the series 2.
The two shoes just have a totally diffenret atmosphere.
There is so much theories about it out there, it is quite interesting that everyone can have a different perception, Sam being really dead and in afterlife, or in another parrallel universe and so on.
I'm going with the answer as presented in the show, that Sam's in a coma. Alex happens to be in an extremely similar coma, and the Finale of Season 2 was simply her slipping further into it, the messages she's been getting from the Doctors are imaginary, and the evil bastard who claimed to also be in a coma was also just imaginary. I don't subscribe to this parallel universe/time travel/afterlife bollocks, why would anyone use the 1970s and 1980s as an afterlife, the scope's a bit limited.
