talkingtothesky | Ashes to Ashes S3 Ep 4 Reaction Post (Part Two) (Reply)

- Hello, Bryan Dick! You have an unfortunate name there, mate. Just in case you hadn’t noticed. Anyway, I really can’t understand why some people fancy you. You look even worse with dark hair than you did with the stupid floppy long brown look in Torchwood 2x05. Sorry. :P

- Love the head-butt! XD

- Whatever happened to the heroes is playing as they run! <3 Hmm…Gene’s crotch as he runs…sorry, where was I?

- Gene vaults over the wall! <333 Sam did that in 1x01. And Gene himself in 2x05 flashback sequence!

- Fantastic comedy moment as fight happens behind the camera.

- Then one black glove pops up on top of the wall, and then the rest of him. <333

- But it gets even better because the camera pulls back again and it’s the BLUE PETER GARDEN!!! :DDDD I love Gene so hard. <3333

- They rescued the fish! HAHA!!! :DDD

- Aww, but Shaz is upset about the dead little fish. :( Mustn’t laugh. Sorry, Shaz. :P

- Camera flicks between Alex, Louise and Gene. Gene looking downcast, letting Alex take the lead.

- You promise? Ooh, sharp, Louise. Alex!haters would be happy with the putdown but I’m not one of them. But Louise calms down: Can I at least call my mum? There’s something fishy about Louise. All the way through the ep I kept expecting her to really be a criminal.

- Alex asks Gene if they can bring Louise onto the team. Alarm bells ringing loud and clear. No, she’s a liability. Why’s she a liability, Gene? And then another great Gene line: “Do I look like a piece of toast? Then stop buttering me up” <3333 (He only wants to be buttered up by Sam. And it worked when Sam batted his eyelashes and got Annie on the team. :P)

- Gene’s stance in the corner of the interrogation room. GUH. (I have a thing for Gene standing with a hand on his hip. There’s a reason I have this icon as my default.)

- You’re being used. He’s playing you. Keats? Oh, Terry.

- Got a high opinion of yourself

- How would you feel if someone younger came along, smarter than you, better-looking…SAM REFERENCE, Y/N?

- Danny Stafford says he witnessed the assault on the taxi driver, knows how Gene feels about that case, tries to make deal. “You’d be a hero. The man who brought Terry Stafford to his knees.”

- Louise! In the corridor! And Danny sees her and starts shouting abuse! SHIT.

- Gene’s best idea as a hiding place = Luigi’s. Bet this has been done in Galex fic. (Matthew reads the fic. I’m telling you, he does. XD)

- Why does Shaz look so sad siting at her table? Needs Alex to sit and cheer her up. <3

- But then she tells Ray to shut up. Twice! XD Gotta love her. Wish it wasn’t at the expense of Ray going backwards though.

- The easiest way to survive is to become who you’re meant to be.

- Gene looks really tired. :(( Alex still ranting. Gene wants her to shut up. Alex wants him to promise not to make a deal with Stafford.

- Chris says when Gene and Alex disagree they normally shout and chuck stuff until one of them gives up. <3

- Something else happened. Oh, Louise. :( She breaks down.

- Chris anger. Marching down the corridor. Really means business.

- Punching Daniel Stafford! :O He deserves it, but…Chris?!

- Gene pulls Chris off him. (And now I’m giggling because what I’ve actually written in my notes accidentally is “Gene pulls himself off” which means something entirely different. XDDDD My dirty mind, I love it so.)

- I love Alex telling Chris off. She’d make a really good mum, seriously. If only she cared more about Molly…

- Oh Chris. :( Saying everyone let her down.

- Disillusioned. Join us at Fenchurch.

- It’s why I’m here, says Alex.

- Alex is not gonna stop until she brings down the Staffords properly. <333

- Black glove clamps over Alex’s mouth! NOOO!

- Keats. Gene. Pretty pictures ~~of him and Sam~~. Blackmail? Oh, no, just Danny Stafford’s injuries.

- I was there. Chris! :( Time in the force is over. DDD:

- Transfer. NO. You’d throw away his career?

- What you gonna do when your team abandon you? One by one. :(((( Keats, I hate you. Don’t do this to Gene, you bastard.

- Gene knocks over the coffee. Childish gestures. Playing in dirty little sandpit. (Was I the only one who thought the sandpit line sounded really, really gay? IDK)

- First thing Gene does when he gets back from Keats’ interrogation is ‘Where’s Drake?’ Aww, he does need her.

- Chris says ‘I can’t lose this job’. Chris, how many times have you fucked up now?

- Gene goes to find Alex. ALEX IN COFFIN? WTF?!

- OMG, THIS IS CANON HURT/COMFORT FIC <3333

- Bolly. Wake up. Bugger. Alex wakes up at last second. He very nearly kissed her!!! XD

- “Get yer arse in gear. Now.” Perfect Gene.

- Gene rubs his eyes. Daniel Stafford escaped from ambulance, Louise still missing. Gene’s in trouble. Keats’ really shouting now.

- But saved by Shaz, who rattles off something really quickly that sounds really smart and then demands that Gene give her a promotion for her good work. Which is fair enough, but…not the way I’d go about asking for a promotion. :P

- Do you play golf? No wonder Phil smashes the things on the desk with such accuracy, lol. Bless him and his golf-loving ways. I don’t understand it, but…

- Louise’s reports were for nothing. :((

- HAHA, I love it when Gene breaks the biscuit-thing and nicks some! <333

- “Oh joy, Jim’s here! Don’t worry, not gonna shoot you again Alex. Him, on the other hand…” I love Gene so much. And the tiny bit of Galex again.

- “Now that’s what I call undercover.” At this point I am confused because I don’t know why she’s gone back to playing her cover if it’s obviously been blown…since I’m thick and can never keep up with Ashes plots. Mars, yes, no problem. Ashes? Not a clue.

- Louise and Gene pointing guns at each other! I KNEW Louise was a baddie!

- Chris gets attacked by someone covered in plastic.

- Terry Stafford has a really awesome hat.

- Listen to Alex, says Keats.

- She cut her own face? *confused*

- Louise! Car! Danny! Gene! Action-packed! Exciting!

- WTF Keats cradling her? Be still. Louise is panicking. Why is he comforting her? Don’t be scared. I’m here, DC Gardner. He let her die? Music. Louise. Dead eyes. Do they have a history together or something? Keats looks close to tears. WTH just happened?

- Camera cuts to Gene, Ray, Chris, Alex in turn. All look varying degrees of upset. Fade to black.

- Back to Luigi’s. HAHAH PINK COCKTAIL!!! <333 Go on, Gene, drink it. You know you want to. :P

- Shaz and Chris, Shaz just thinks of him as a friend now.

- Alex calls Gene a ‘beacon of sensitivity’, lol. <333

- We trust each other, says Gene.

- Alex says what if hiding a deep, dark secret? Ooh, they both are. <3

- Keats. Walks in. I Did it My Way is playing in the background.

- Saves Chris’ job. Which is good, I like him, but it also means he’s not squeaky clean either.

- Gene’s “Thank you, Jim” speech had me sporfling. How much are they pushing the Gene/Keats, seriously? I also love how Keats embraces the gay and drinks a pink cocktail himself…XD

- Ivory tower. Mere mortals.

- Screen around Alex goes dark. Expecting LoM music. Instead there’s the ghostly policeman. And I still hear no Nelson. So much for Chris getting his Mars moment this week!

- TRAILER: LITTON!!! <3333 :DDDD YES! *punches the air* I cannot fucking wait for that. And the best part? “I’ll give you the story on Sam and Gene.” <333 Even bloody Litton ships them!!!! I can’t wait for Keats and Litton to interact though. Material for Crotchbook.! XD

So overall then, I am chuffed to bits with this ep. Not just because of Gene <3 Sam SQUEEEEE but because I was expecting another ep where Gene is basically made out to be the bad guy and instead they actually got Gene pretty right this ep. Not too damn angsty for once. And...I’ve just listed all the wonderful things that make me love this ep so much.

But, basically. We LoM fans already knew this, but, as of tonight: SAM/GENE IS FREAKIN’ CANON, BABY!!! <3333 :DDDDDDD
