I used to like DEK as well, but I haven't liked much of his output for a good long while. I could be wrong, since they've got Colm Meaney in the Gene Hunt role which does bode well. I guess my biggest concern is taking a British series with something like 18 total episodes and stretching it out over four or more years of 22 eps each. The usual problem we have here in the states where we don't believe in one or two years and done. <em>R.A.

Porter Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:36:06 +0000 http://www.popcritics.com/2007/12/journeyman-changes-his-past/#comment-3775 I haven't seen any of series two of <i>Life on Mars</i>, so I couldn't say for sure whether you'd be able to pick it up and not be lost, but my guess is it'll be clear enough. Cop from modern-day Manchester is (maybe) transported back to the early '70s. Of he's in a coma. Or he's going insane. Or... On top of being a great, great show, if you watch it now you'll be able to poo-poo David E. Kelley's American version when it finally makes it on the air. <em>R.A.

I am not sure if it means anything really about the future. Interesting point though about Olivia's interest in the old man. @ Jason - I agree...at least we know Jericho has 7 episodes left to show us...but yeah, it's a good show and the next two will be pretty good I think. @ Lizzie – it’s just because they are playing the final two episodes, that’s all.

It was really just getting going and then the ax fell. I think we're bracing ourselves for it this time but I'm hoping above hope that they give it a while longer. It's a good show. These last couple of episodes should be good. <em>Jason A Clark's last blog post..</em><a href='http://jasonaclark.com/2007/12/11/will-ferrells-semi-pro-trailer-and-teaser-poster/' rel="nofollow">Will Ferrell’s “Semi-Proâ€?

I thought she was too interested in what was going to happen to him. I think that there's something going on with that for sure. Also, at the end there was the "Join us next week for an all new Journey" announcement. I took that to mean it's coming on again next week. What are your thoughts on that? I've never heard that when there's reruns or the show is cancelled. There may actually be reason to celebrate. :) Keeping my fingers crossed. <em>Lizzie's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SimplyStating/~3/198683866/' rel="nofollow">Are You a Hotlinking Thief?</a> When they mentioned Livia’s man last night I thought maybe the old newspaper publisher was him.
