We received the second disc (of 4) of the British TV show Life on Mars yesterday. We watched the first episode yesterday, there are only 2 on each disc, and today we watched the second. After finishing the two episodes we investigated the extras, of which there was just one, The Return of Life on Mars. We decided to watch it and were greeted with this disclaimer: SPOILER WARNING This documentary contains discussions about key plots and events taking place during Life on Mars series 2.
Mmmmmm…oh, what the heck, let’s watch it anyway. After about 20 minutes they started showing scenes of shows that we hadn’t yet seen. We watched for about ten more minutes before the producers started explaining how Episode 7 was setting up for the series final show that we turned it off not wanting to have the ending spoiled. What the heck were they thinking by putting this sort of thing on the first disc? I know at least they warned us, but shouldn’t this have been on the last disc?
I burned a copy of the documentary to save for watching after we’ve seen all eight episodes. Turns out it is only 45 minutes long, so we have just 15 minutes more to see, but it will be the right thing to wait for it.
