Line 18:
* No, doubly odd, using a Bowie song as a title and NOT as a [[Theme Tune]]? If they could get the rights to use the title, play the song once or twice for atmosphere, why not use it as a theme?
** Because the music does actually play an important part in the show. First when Sam is hit by the car in the first episode, sending him to 1973 and {{spoiler|when he jumps off the roof in 2006, thus killing himself}}. Also in ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'' the tune isn't played until close to the ending of the last episode of the first season {{spoiler|it is the song played in the car when Alex' parents are blown up.}}
* Frankly, this troper feels gypped. ''Life on Mars'' doesn't involve [[The Red Planet]], ''[[

Line 50:
In Life on Mars (I forget which episode), a dirty Casino owner/crime lord that Sam knows from 2006(?), tries to kill him in the hospital. Sam remembers making a watertight case against him after he kills his wife Eve, and he was set to be sent down when Sam goes into a coma. {{spoiler|Sam manages to have him declared insane in 1972(?) through some hijinks after telling him about the future, and he then hears nurses talking about the person who attacked him in the hospital being a lunatic kept there since 1972(?). At the time it seemed that Sam had altered the future through his actions in the past,}} {{spoiler|but since we now know from Ashes to Ashes that he was not time travelling but was in Gene's world, and could not affect the future because he wasn't in the real world,}} it stands out to me as the most significant plot hole in the duality, in a universe that is otherwise surprisingly well wrapped up (considering the complexity of the story).
