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.)

I guess if they know the show's not coming back, they can do whatever crazy weird stuff they want. But ... that's just about the weirdest series finale I've ever heard of, I think, and there have been some doozies!
