I don't have a WTF icon with adequate levels of WTF for this
So, found via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cathexys, a video link to the last few minutes of the U.S. Life on Mars season finale. (Obviously, if you go there, expect to be spoiled.) I haven't been watching the remake for probably self-evident reasons, but I was curious, so I clicked on the link.
Seen it? Okay ... WHAT THE EVER-LOVING WTF.
MARS.
WHUT.
It's like ... there's inability to grasp subtlety, and then there's -- I don't think there are WORDS for this amount of sheer, total lack of nuance.
The title is "Life on Mars", so THEY MUST BE ON MARS.
And Gene is, I guess, Sam's literal father, because any sort of subtlety must be STRIPPED OUT WITH THE SLEDGEHAMMER OF TOTAL WTF.
MY CAPSLOCK APPEARS TO BE STUCK BECAUSE OF THE SHEER MINDBOGGLING LEVELS OF WTF IN THAT CLIP.
(And did I mention that, especially in comparison with the British version, the dialogue HURTS ME? I'm trying to imagine BBC!Sam saying "Whatever strange place you find yourself in, make that your home." Now I'm trying to imagine GENE saying it. Now I think my brain is broken.)

Mostly because the levels of WTF are so overwhelming that they have fried several cerebral circuits. Possibly FOR GOOD.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?
I am seriously trying to figure this one out. Because they didn't make their own show - they
ripped offdid a remake of Life on Mars. Only everything that made LoM the show it was? THAT they changed. Because THAT MAKES SENSE. *whimper*no subject
It really does have a sort of lingering brain-messing effect, doesn't it? XD I still don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Just to ADD TO THE HORROR (if it's possible), I've been poking around websites reading other people's reactions to the finale (even people who liked the show in general seem to have hated and/or been terrified by the finale, and who can blame them), and apparently US!LoM had an episode in which Sam slept with Gene's daughter. Okay, leaving aside the BBC!LoM-induced levels of "...wait, what?" with that (Gene? Daughter? Sam? Slept with? AAAAAAA) ... considering the reveal in the finale, wouldn't that be canon incest?
Like you said ...
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?
*cries*
