Alex Drake has a very bad day.

My ridiculously cheap Ashes to Ashes DVDs arrived, hooray! Another thing to rewatch, and having just watched episode 1 so far I can see there are lots of things I missed first go around. Like hidden scary clown *shudders*.

Anyway, here is a mini picspam from episode one. Screencaps taken by [livejournal.com profile] kimmi_87

Meet Alex.
Photobucket


She's having a bad day.
Photobucket
First her creepy devil spawn daughter Molly wanders into the middle of a hostage situation and gets grabbed by creepy homeless guy...

Photobucket
...who then drags her down the stairs and shoots her. OMG!

Photobucket
Not really. PSYCH! Creepy Molly is safe (or is she...no it's just as it seems. Probably.) and creepy homeless guy has disappeared...

Photobucket
...And reappears in the back of Alex's car. Oh Alex, didn't you listen to all those serial killer campfire stories? You always check the back of your car. Anyway, now she has been captured by creepy guy.

Photobucket
Who shoots her. With added scary clown. Yep, that counts as a bad day.

Photobucket
WTF?

Photobucket
Not only getting shot in the head and finding herself with an unfortunate perm, Alex then gets bothered by this yuppie type...

Photobucket
...but wait!

Photobucket
Is that the sound of screeching tyres?

Photobucket
Only one man drives that recklessly.

Photobucket
Can it be?

Photobucket
It is!

Photobucket
Gene Hunt! And the man knows how to make an entrance.

Photobucket
And Ray and Chris! And it is good to see that Alex wasn't the only one attacked by the unfortunate perm monster.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Then Alex gets taken hostage by creepy yuppie, but thanks to some clever psychobabble she convinces him to give up.

Photobucket
Alex has enough of all this dealing with creepy people and getting shot in the head business, and decides unconsciousness is a good idea. She has just been shot in the head, it's allowed!

LMAO I love your picspam!

I remember watching that bit, I love how she says their names and Gene! Oh how I heart Gene!

I love that bit with the hero music and the slightly ridiculous drama of it all. And I love when she recognizes Ray he's busy introducing the yuppie dealer's face to the car roof :).

OMG that bit is brilliant! I heart Ray and his perm so much.

Heh, Ray and his unfortunate perm and repression managed to win me over in Ashes to Ashes. I didn't like him in Life on Mars, but then we saw everything in that through Sams eyes and he didn't like him.

Yeah I didn't like him in LoM but in A2A I really started to like him. :)

Well? Go on! :D

Heh, my attention span was getting antsy while sorting out the caps, though I could continue it to help take up the time until series three. I am a terrible procrastinator though ;).

I know the feeling.
