Life on Mars

bluecuracao · 03-18-2007, 05:47 AM

I saw the pilot episode on BBC OnDemand--and that was all I got. I LOVED it, but the powers that be haven't seen it fit to show more episodes. Can anyone fill me in on what happens next??

The past and the present touch in interesting ways and there is a disturbing test pattern card girl that offers insights. Anything more specific will represent a huge spoiler.

They ran the whole series on BBCAmerica last fall. I loved it and absolutely want to see more.

The other show that I've seen tantilizing bits of is Hex.

There's no life on Mars.

hmmm. 6 pretty much nonsequitor or minimally responsive posts ... someone's either preparing to spam us, or Rael has the mind control device turned up too high. You guys clone any more babies lately? Oh, wait, you didn't actually clone the first one, so never mind.

Captain, I believe we have a security breech.

From the FAQ section of the Raelian Movement web site

Q. Where is Eve, the clone baby?

A. The Raelian Movement is a completely separate organisation from Clonaid. Clonaid is a project name (not a company) and is run by one Raelian by the name of Dr Brigitte Boisselier. Neither Rael nor the Raelian Movement fund or have any involvement in Clonaid apart from moral support of cloning technologies.
For more details, see clonaid.com

This and many more questions can be answered from http://www.rael.org by reading the summary,
checking out the FAQ section and downloading the free e-book "Intelligent design: Message from the
Designers".

...and then the link. Pretty much an open and shut case.

Wow. Did he actually just trick you into asking him to give us his spam pitch?? That's pretty amazing if the above crap is the actual spam he was sent to give us...

He might be more entertaining than the last religious spammer.

Quiet you! The nutjobs have called a conference and we are the intended audience.

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair...

I have watched the first two episodes of the American version, and the most surprising thing I have to say about it is that it doesn't suck.

I mean, I actually like it.

Although everytime I watch it and start thinking "Harvey Keitel is doing television??" I think that I've fallen into some kind of alternate universe, kind of like the main character, only sideways.

It looks pretty good to me, from what I've read about it. I was most skeptical when I hear dthey were remaking it...apparently they've done a bloody good job.

bluecuracao · 10-18-2008, 03:28 PM

I was really looking forward to seeing the American Life on Mars. But I dozed off about 15 minutes in to the first episode, and was completely out before this week's even started.

Looks like the network has software you can download to watch their shows, but I don't know...I don't really like watching stuff on a little laptop screen. Maybe I'll just wait until the reruns, or dvd.
