morwenLife on Mars good! they've established quickly a new narrative thread to replace the one throughout the first series, and its ratcheting things up a notch.
i have some speculation about what happens in the end.
either, he wakes up and it was all a dream. or it is established somehow he is definitely mad. those are the obvious endings. which is why i doubt either of them will happen.
one thing that the first series didn't touch on, is Sam's supposed background. we know he's supposed to be from Hyde. in episode 2, someone claims to recognise him from Hyde. how extensive is his backstory? he's met the 2006's Sam Tyler's parents, in 1973; what about the parents of the 1973 Sam Tyler? by my reckoning (assuming he is as old as John Simm is now) he should have been born in 1937.
so i'm thinking that he wakes up from his coma, all right. but he's in his 60s. and he's married to Annie Cartwright.
is this speculation based on any known facts? nope. but i had a wild idea and thought i'd put it here so if by some random chance i hit the right spot i can say "i told you so!"
how does this sound? plausible?

Date: 2007-02-14 09:12 pm (UTC)Two bizarre endings spring to mind, bearing in mind that he has affected the 'future' and is aware of it, so we have a link between the two times. He's been knocked through time and split in two in the process (a la Riker in a transporter accident in the ST:TNG) with his 21st century self stuck in a coma from the trauma but mentally linked to his 20th century self.
Or
only his mind has been sent back through time into someone else's body as an experiment to influence the past, leaving a residual 'mind' in the 21st century comatose body linked to his transposed mind now living in '73. He see's himself as he remembers himself, not as others see him, which may explain why someone recognises him in the past.
Or it could be Timelord japes!
