On the day the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes saga ends, I just want to say how amazing this fandom and the people in it have been over the years.
The first time I ever watched LoM, I was HOOKED. I remember being obsessed with the song "Life on Mars" and reading all of the speculation about the show early on.
After LoM ended, I was so excited to hear that there was to be a follow-up series. I never thought I'd love Ashes to Ashes more than LoM. Something about the series just spoke to me. The characters (new and old), the dynamics of the show, the music, the clothes...I love it all! The show has turned me into a shameful Gene/Alex shipper, and made me fall in love with Phil's character even more than ever.
As it draws to a close today, I feel like I will be happy with anything I end up with. The creators respect the fans, and I feel I will be satisfied and have closure. I'm sad to see the series go, (What will I obsess over now?) but it's been a great ride, everyone!
Happy finale watching, everyone! Thank you for an amazing four years! <3
