moogingI feel I need to do something of a televisual round-up of recent days. This will involve fangirling, excessive use of italics and also a little bit of capslock. You have been warned!
Plus, spoilers for both episodes of things, made clear in the lj-cuts.
I want a Life On Mars icon now. And a Top Gear icon.
Are you all having a good week?

THE PEOPLE CARRIER. I am going to love anything, really, in which James May becomes project leader of something and Jeremy Clarkson sews. And ends up sewing himself to the fabric.
Okay, so it wasn't totally successful, and okay, Richard did end up holding the back up as they attempted to go over 100 miles per hour, but that is not the point. It was glorious!
And then, with their slightly mishap-y (which is a word, obviously), slightly falling to bits, canvas roofed people carrier, they had to drive through a safari park. This is the end result (paraphrased. Just a tad.)
JAMES: OMG THE MONKEYS WILL EAT US
JEREMY AND RICHARD: ....you do realise we have to drive past the lions, right?
JAMES: MONKEYS WOE.
JEREMY AND RICHARD: Okay, but say you had to stand in a phone box with a monkey or a lion....
JAMES: NOT THE MONKEY IT WILL KILL ME
JEREMY AND RICHARD: *derisive snorts*
A little while later, in the lion enclosure:
ALL THREE: ...oooh, lion porn!
And a little later, driving through the monkeys:
MONKEYS: HERE WE COME TO SIT ON YOUR FLIMSY CAR
JEREMY AND RICHARD: WAH THE MONKEYS ZOMGS
JAMES: Ahahahahahahahaha. This is my RIGHTEOUS LAUGH!
JEREMY: (in the back, as the monkeys attempt to get in the car) I am going to die.
JAMES: You can stay there, because of the mocking.
JEREMY AND RICHARD: OMG MONKEYS WILL EAT US
Also, I have noticed that James May and I seem to have the same hair-style (I use the word 'style' in its loosest possible meaning). I'm not quite sure who this would distress more.
Plus, Richard Hammond has the sweetest laugh and Jeremy Clarkson is so bloody entertaining: "That's like saying 'oh goody, I've got syphilis, the best of the sexually transmitted diseases'!" And his French accent is mockingly great.

Oh, Life On Mars. How you hurt me. (Thanks go to strangeumbrella for making me watch it)
Oh, Gene. The penultimate scene was just difficult to watch and yet he managed to do what he knew he should. And Sam trying to protect him from knowing that Woolf was dying. Ohhh, and Gene's repeated demand to know what he hadn't been told was bloody painful, and his voice kind-of-not-quite breaking when he said he'd have to arrest Woolf.
But it was also a very fun episode! "Don't move, you're surrounded by armed bastards" springs to mind. As does "Oh Chris, Chris, post-office, post-office!" combined with face-slappingness.
OH OH AND Gene being all confused by Sam; that he always starts being certain and then Sam confuses him, to be followed by "[plot plot plot post-office raid], which I am 100% SURE ABOUT". Ahh, I love the pair of them.
SAM IN THE BOOT. SAM WAS IN THE BOOT. GENE PUT SAM IN THE BOOT OF THE CORTINA. And the fact that Gene kind of yanked Sam towards him when he approached the car, through the window. *glee*
To conclude, I love it and I love Gene and I love Sam and I even like Annie, and I like...um, everyone.
