Ashes to Ashes series one really stands up to re-watching.
I'm continuing to enjoy it even more second go around.
It's also causing me to ponder the strong reaction Alex caused, and all the stick she got. Part of that was probably double standards, Sam could be an obnoxious prat at times too, but I wonder if it is also in part due to the end of Life on Mars, where everything is revealed as a coma dream of Sam's. For me I was a bit disappointed in it. Oh, it worked and made sense, and did not just come out of nowhere (*cough* take note bsg writers, you were just out-written by the people who came up with Bonekickers), but I didn't like the fact that that would mean that everyone else were just figments of his imagination. I know, that's silly considering it is a tv show and they are not real anyway.
Then Ashes to Ashes comes along, and there's Alex calling everyone imaginary constructs and wiggling her fingers and so confident that it's all not real, effectively rubbing it in that these awesome characters everyone loves are not even real in the world of the show.
Then in the series finale the uncertainty came back, and it looks like the coma world is the past and is real, or as real as a tv show can be. And that was awesome!
In other news, I am amused to see that Edward James Olmos also writes BSG finale fix it fan fic.

I want to read EJO's script. Think he also writes PWP?

I would settle for Laura as a ghost. Or Head!Laura. I think Head!Laura would be amazing.
