Bugg Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Kind of difficult to describe-detective science fiction time travel. I know it's adapted from and English show. Seems to have really found it's legs after it took a darker turn in the last few episodes. The jokey stuff has stopped spare one or 2 goofy references. Last several episodes explore how this guy deals with seeing his parents back then in ways he didn't really know or want to remember. And when you have pros like Harvey Keitel, Michael Imperoli, Dean Winters and Gretchen Mol in supporting roles, it's almost hard to not be interesting. One goofy thing-he kinda makes a big deal about how his 1973 NYPD precinct still uses typewriters. In fact NYPD today remains argaubly the last large organization I know of that still uses typewriters for many functions for reasons known only to themselves. When NYPD absorbed the Transit Police Department, Transit had a fully-computerized system for most day-to-day forms. NYPD inexpicably mothballed it and instead still sodiers on with typewriters. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. I faithfully watch the show every week but I'm starting to have a little less interest each week. I heard it's taking a crap in the Neilsen numbers.

TiTans Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The show has NOTHINg to do with the planet Mars asswipe. If you knew ANYTHING about the show you'd know that.

Sharrow Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Can I add some zip too? Mission to Mars was on tv the other day. Kind of a dull movie, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
