cant believe ashes to ashes, lost and 24 are all ending within 4 days of each other... there will be no decent telly left!
ashes 2 ashes series 3 CONTAINS SPOILERS - Don't open if you haven't seen the finale
- Thread starter EZee
- Start date
you could have asked him how it ended!
altho i did read an interview with him saying that it's quite brilliant how the writers found a plausible ending to tie everything up
I try not to talk to people on the tube....at any time, under any circumstances, ever.
Possibly...or just someone dressed like him to tease us..
I love how they've tied this into LOM though
Wow, it's brilliant. For those talking about the US ending I wouldn't really worry about it, Jim Keats' twitter was taking the piss at that this week.
I also think that wasn't Simm there at the end, I really hope that if Sam is going to appear it has to be John Simm and not another actor.
Nelson's laugh freaks me out, what the feck is that all about?

So then, what do people think? Who's Gene? What do the stars mean?
One thing that I dont get is how they can (if they do) come up with a new ending, because at the end of Life On Mars we basically found out that it was all in Sam's head and he'd indeed been in a comer. So theoretically, this would have to be the same to keep the continuity, no?

Can't wait for tonight's episode its been an absolutely brilliant series so far, really looking forward to the final episode just hope it does the rest of the series justice
fire up the quattro...
here we go
here we go
Well I'm still as confused as I ever was 
right... that was erm a bit strange...
Well I'm still as confused as I ever was
Same here don't know what to think now
Sooooooooooooo........were they all dead all along?
I dont get it!
I dont get it!
brilliantly acted though- if a bit unusual
What was the whole going in to the pub supposed to symbolise? Heaven?
so gene was there to help for the transition to death?
if not heaven, some acceptance that they were dead
I wanted to see Sam in the pub
Was Gene Hunt "God" and Jim Keats the "Devil" ?

I genuinly don't know what to make of it. I think I'm too confused.
I wanted to see Sam in the pub
that would have made a great last scene - with gene taking them all into the pub and sam waiting at the bar
So where exactly did Keats fit in ? Was he dead aswell ?

no i think keats was a sort of charon character, trying to take them to hell
Charon as in the ferryman?
here you go - good article!

I must say. the acting from the guy who played Keats was amazing.
Just read the guardian review, they seem to be as confused as us lot...here it is if anyone's interested...

yes - someone at least trying to take them to hell ( couldn't think of another character )
not the ferryman literally as there is no styx ( unless there is - i'm too confused )
Great Minds
Yeah!
It makes more sense now after reading that!
I still wish we'd seen Sam Tyler in the pub though

Just read something saying they half planned to have him coming out of the pub at the end but decided against it cos it would steal all drakes thunder.
would have been a great ending imo.
Yeah I really would have liked to see Sam one last time

Yer i can see thier point though, but it really would have added something to the end of he just cropped up like that
I think they did a fairly good job of wrapping it all up...
Im now wondering how lost are going to manage to do it...
but Im mostly glad that they were not on a space ship in hyper sleep going on a "gene Hunt" looking for ife on mars...
angles, devil's, ferrymen, dead people heaven hell makes more sence than that!!!

I remember "Dixon of Dock Green" from when I was young - obviously not from it's beginning -
This is worth a read as well, also from the Guardian:
Ashes to Ashes: co-creator Matthew Graham says goodbye to Gene Hunt | Television & radio | guardian.co.uk

I really liked it, Gene gets killed young and his spirit is so strong he refuses to go away so he creates this world where dead cops come and work under him to feed his ego and keep him going.
Keats, my theory, is the anti-Gene. Sort of like the devil if you will, Gene will try and get them to stay good cops and do their job and go to the pub afterwards, whereas Keats tries to make them turn dodgy with tempting offers.
The pub being a heaven and the lift down with Keats a kind of hell. I really liked it, made you think but at the same time told you the majority of what was going on.
Also liked how Shaz was from the mid 90's.
EDIT: Just read that article from the guardian that says the same as me! Well that was a wasted post hehe.

I read (and posted) that article last night and it was almost the same as I'd interpreted it too - Fab ending to a great Show!
I'm going to miss it though...especially,Gene , Ray and Chris!

This is what I thought. Gene was there to direct them to the pub AKA hgeaven, and the other guy wanted to trick them away from it, but Gene didn't seem to always be able to stop him (maybe some Lost-style rules involved stopping him). When the other guy wanted to send them down in an elevator, I took that to be the route to 'Hell'
I thought it was very good actually.....And Keats was brilliant...Clearly the hissing was meant to imply he was the Devil...of sorts
I actually really liked it...Wasn't as confusing as everyone seems to be making it out to be
Also the fact it was made, acted, shot and written very well made it the easier to swallow...Which shows you can pass of the most ridiculous premises if you do it well...something the Lost writers failed spectacularly to do with 6X15
Incidentally I loved that the last line was Gene's first line in Life on Mars...nice touch.

that just reminds me how good lom was... think i might rewatch it all when lost and 24 have finished as there will be no decent tv then...
