I know. *sighs* Isn't it amazing? I really need to rewatch the whole thing again this summer.
The ending was surprising, and to be honest, still confuses me. I've read metas with several different interpretations and there are convincing arguments on all sides.
Then A2A kinda halfheartedly tries to explain it, but not really as persuasively as fandom does. Yeah, I see it as a completely separate show. Fun, in its own way, like an elaborate 80s music video, but not as exciting or intriguing (although some of the later episodes, when Alex really comes into her own, are stellar). I definitely recommend a break in between the two series.
I know! The man from Hyde! That is kind of important! They just ... they just missed so much in the remake ... *flails*
Heh. After you watch the utterly rocking Blackpool you can try the American remake of that, too. It got cancelled after one epi for utter stinkitude.
