Life on Mars/Awesome
- Sam and Gene's synchronized desk-leaping from the pilot.
- Not to mention Gene's introduction:
Sam: All right, surprise me. What year is it? |
- Sam to Gene in 2.05: "I can just about handle you, driving like a pissed up crackhead and treating women like beanbags. But I'm going to say this once, and once only, Gene. Stay out of Camberwick Green!"
- In 1x06, during the hostage situation, Gene is shot three times, point blank. The thing is? He's got three flasks in his jacket.
- How, at the end of episode 2.01, Sam gets Tony Crane sent to an asylum, therefore preventing a future murder AND keeping his cover. AWESOME.
- Annie Cartwright's entire performance as "Cherie Blair" in episode 2.04.
- "Don't move! You're surrounded by armed bastards!"
- Don't forget how Chris Skelton saved the day in 2.06, showing up in the nick of time to resolve the hostage situation by shooting the hostage taker.
- Sam's suicide/epiphany, set to David Bowie's Life on Mars, was an absolutely beautiful Crowning Moment of Awesome.
