L.O.M final episode...

[antz]

im glad its a happy ending

 

wish i could go back to the 70's sometimes....

[RFChris]

I'm happy with the ending too. Although trying to explain the whole thing to the mrs was slightly headache inducing.

 

Great though, just a shame its ended. Still, better to burn out than fade away, right?

[MK5]

good ending but not twisted enough for me...

 

i would have liked to see him get run over by the blue Cavalier again and to see Gene Hunt driving so it was a perpetual loop...

[ZetecVan 2.0]

Good ending, but is he now dead? Was he in the 70s all along? Was he from the 2006? I'm confused...

[capriclive]

that was a good ending.

liked that series a lot

Reverse it all....

 

1973, real.....thats when he actually had the accident.

 

2006, fake.....that was his coma.

 

Think about it, its more feasible to construct the future from your mind than it is the past, the future hasn;t happened yet so you can't make errors. Its however you imagine it. The past though, well, it happened. So you'd get it wrong if you attempted to make it up.

 

Think about episode one....

 

Sam to Annie "I know, i'll just keep walking.....if this is all in my head then i can only remember so much of it. Sooner or later i'll run out of memories."

 

Well.....it was all there.....because it was all real.

 

This of all the new skool Fords! NO RUST!

Didn't watch any of it but what would've been a good spin would've been if he'd put the Cortina in a lock up garage back in the 70s & then gone back to it in 2006, opened the garage door & there's the cortina sat there covered in a dusty sheet with a 1970s tax disc

Loved the series and what a cool ending. Can't wait to get the second series on DVD now

[School boy1]

Its not all bad, Ahes to Ashes will be on next year with DCI Hunt on a spin off. Its meant to be a one off, but it might be a pilot. Fingers crossed.

[ilovegrannys]

Amazing ending. Loved every minute of it. The spin off will be spot on set in the 80's- aparently. Hopefully it will be the same actors. Nothing worse than different faces try carry on the legend of a true-now classic tv show. REMEMBER, ITS GOT TO BE REAL BECAUSE IT IS IN "COLOUR" - ALRIGHT DOROTHY!!!

[Daveyboy20]

The best thing on the telly for years and years i loved every minute of every episode, dont know what ill do now on tuesday nights! Sit there 9pm till 10pm thinking bout life on mars!!

 

Im not sure i fully understand the it though, Chris i like your explanation but i dont get if that was right how come he could hear all the people and people phoned him from Hyde when he was in the 70' if that was real?? Im pretty confused but loving thinking bout it cant wait for the box set!!

[antz]

i reckon the 70's was made up and he in the 2006. but the coma threw him into the 70s as he thought and when he came back he was unhappy with 2006 so threw himself off the building and into anothre coma so he could go back to to 1973.

 

2006=coma (possibly dead)

1973= living the dream!

[ZetecVan 2.0]

Been thinking about it, and re-watched Episode 1. Here's my thoughts.

 

There were too many specific references about things in 2006 for Sam to be 'predicting' the future. ie: ipod in his car, telling the first copper he meets he was driving a 'Jeep' and 'where's my mobile', Thatcher becoming PM, Tony & Cherie Blair, reading the wrong rights. So if he was predicting the future, he's pretty good at it.

 

My take: He was in a coma in 2006 dreaming all along, but hearing what was going off around him. He was dreaming he was in 1973. The doctor operated, but he imagined he had come round, so the 2006 sequence was still his coma. If you noticed he had his 1973 sideburns. (a dream within a dream). He realised he didn't want to be there, so he jumped off the building which in his dream put him back to 1973 where he was happier. The operation didn't go well and he heared the voices on the car radio ('we're losing him'), and he died.

 

Happy ending because he ended up happy and with the people he wanted to be with (even though they were in his dream). But sad because the operation to remove the tumour went wrong and he died.

 

Discuss.

nothign to discuss.....im happy with that

[ilovegrannys]

NO "JOHN SIMM" in the spin off!!! Remember where you got it first!!!

[School boy1]

Oh well, he was boaring, it will be Hunt in '83 or something and will be no crap background story, just Hunts antics.

I'd say that was a pretty good assessment, and I agree the references to 2006 were far too accurate to be based on guesswork or a dream/coma in 1973. Anyone remember the concept cars from 1973? And didn't they think we'd have a colony on the moon by now?

 

Re the waking up fully scenario and jumping off the building to get back into his coma, no-way a fall that like that would have just killed him outright. He realised when the knife cut at the table didn't hurt that he hadn't actually woken up so lept off the roof as a symbolic desire to return to his coma existence.

 

I didn't hear the bit we're losing him on the car radio at the end, but it doesn't necessarily mean he died, it could just mean he lapsed deeper into his coma.

 

I have to say though, I always get confused by these time travel / identity crisis type paradoxes, Total Recall was a complete mind bender for me!

[School boy1]

What I think happened is he was in 2006, crashed, coma, 1973 was a dream, could hear people around his bed in 2006 affecting him in 1973, he got better, came round, hated it as he didnt feel alive (he stabbed himself and didnt feel it in the meeting) went and jumped off roof, went back to deep coma or heaven and lives forever more form 1973.
