I Should Really Get an Ashes to Ashes Icon

meddowWatching Battlestar the second time with my flatmate is tonnes of fun. She's not been spoiled at all, so I'm living vicariously through her shock at various revelations. Plus its fun how much she agrees with me about things, such as how Billy was the most eligible bachelor in the fleet (we'd both marry him in a heartbeat). Although her starting to sing My Heart Will Go On every time the Adama theme plays in background (the theme with the bagpipes that actually does sound a lot like the beginning of My Heart...) is kind of wearing on my nerves.
Anyway, we're up to Lay Down Your Burdens Part One. Should be fun to see her reaction to part two's ending. And, yay, the New Caprica arc, with is just absolutely fantastic and heartbreaking when I watched it the first time, hopefully it hold up the second time, because those four episodes + the season two finale are currently in my mind examples of the pinnacle of television (along with In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, Noel and Two Cathedrals from The West Wing, and Human Nature/Family of Blood, Blink and Midnight and a whole heap of Rome).
Meanwhile, I've been watching season two of Ashes to Ashes. I wasn't initially really all that sold on the changes in it since season one since they seemed at first to have dispensed with Gene and Ray's character development from the first season, plus I for one miss the freaky Bowie clown of death. But, it appears that Ray and Gene haven't devolved entirely into their Life on Mars selves and creepy rose-leaving dude makes up for the lack of the clown. (Hmm, I just capitalised 'rose' out of habit)
I do which though that for once a character other than Alex was kidnapped or put in danger. She's becoming something of a damsel in distress. Same goes for Shaz. Have the guys get kidnapped, shot at or stabbed for once.
I hope all the Manchester foreshadowing (Gene discussing Manchester with the stripper, the name 'Tyler' coming up with Gene giving it a reaction, Gene's old coat making an appearance in next week) is going to lead somewhere. I'll be very annoyed they tempt the audience with answers as to what happened to Sam and never go anywhere. And I very desperately want to know what happened to Annie.
Anyway, the writers have turned me around and I'm sold. Plus points for Hot Dad off SJA showing up in episode two.

Also, I also miss freaky Bowie death clown! Glad it wasn't just me. But I am liking the series so far.
