Life on Mars Finale: Snap Non Spoilery Judgement
So, the final episode of Life on Mars has aired, and I’m going to take my hat off to the writers, for managing to create a wonderful ending that doesn’t have people throwing six bricks at a metaphorical Patrick McGoohan…
I’m sitting here throwing around all the ideas, and I think it all boils down to faith. Sam’s faith in where he belongs, the writer’s faith in trusting the viewer, the viewers faith in whatever they think of Sam’s situation… Just fantastic writing, no easy answeers, but there are answers. Of course everyone’s answer is very slightly different to the next person.
Doesn’t that sum up faith in a nutshell? Weren’t we asked to trust the Gene Genie?
