Encountered a problem with my JPN FFXI client that bummed me out of playing so I turned to former distraction digital cable and watched the premiere of Life on Mars on BBC America. I'd read about the show when it first aired in England earlier this year and was intrigued enough by the concept to remember: detective's girlfriend kidnapped by a serial murderer and he's hit by a car, only to wake up in the Seventies and work on the same case "back then." Is he in a coma? Has he Quantum Leaped? Or has a higher authority imprisoned him in a Matrix of their own making? The answers are sure to come by the end of the series, short-lived as they are there, but I especially enjoy the main character's attention to detail; were it one of my dreams, a trip to the record shop would find all kinds of gibberish on the track listings of old albums I can't possibly remember. Ooh, and at 11 was an Emma Peel episode of the Avengers! Tempted to buy the whole set now.
