Uptown Girl was hilarious and gorgeous and omg. I may have sat there writing "I LOVE PHILIP GLENISTER" and then surrounded it with love hearts. XD
Squealed happily at the Beth/Phil kiss. So glad Gene finally got a proper snog. Even if it should have been from Sam. *sigh*
Being a hapless teen, I did not know about the anachronisms, so thank you for that. Is it possible he picked them up from the way Sam spoke? Or he's only saying things in Alex's head so occasionally her brain slips up and gives him the wrong words? (Although I don't like that idea because it runs with 'Gene's not real' again.)
Do we know whether Keats is from the future? In Ep1 it sounded like he was going to be another Summers, what with all the "if I can help you, maybe I can help me too" etc etc. My Dad had a thought that when they're at the speed dating Keats mentions a musician that isn't around yet in '83, but we looked that up on Wiki and it turned out to be nothing. :/
I too was writing 'THE JACKET' in big letters every other minute. Part of me wants Alex to but the hell out and leave it alone, another part needs her to keep digging because after they threw that bombshell at us at the end of Ep1 I need to know that the writers haven't destroyed Gene's character that far. Bad enough that they've taken Sam away from him ("just out of love, Bolly. ... worried you're gonna spend the rest of your life on your own" - that speech definitely sounded like Gene wasn't just talking about people in general there D': ).
There was a lot that happened in this ep. My reaction post ended up being 2.5k long and I still missed loads out! XD Sorry for trampling all over your comments, DG. I've missed you not being around so much anymore.
