Sporadic thoughts as I have no coherent ones on this episode beyond OMG, Wow, wow, wow, what an episode, fantastic.....ect

"My name is Sam Tyler, I had an accident & woke up in 1973" "Kill me, I want to leave this place" "the longer your here the more you forgot" "Viv isn’t real, let him die" *Flails a little at this, okay that's a lie, flails MASSIVELY* Sam or not Sam, Thordy is pretty convincing 0_o

Keats orchestrated the prison riots and prevented Viv from talking as he needed his life; he also came out of Thordy's prison cell just before Alex saw him for the first time, so he may have set Thordy up with the Sam Tyler reference. Keats knew. Viv was going to tell Gene something and Keats stopped him. Probably because he's an evil creepazoid. Up until this episode Keats has managed to be both a bastard, but likable too. Now that likable side has gone out the window, how malevolent was he in this episode? Is it me or did Viv look terrified when he looked up a Keats face? Poor Viv *sobs*

Also noticed Keats laughed at Alex’s joke about Braveheart. And Alex made that joke as if she half expected him to. It's not the first time he seems to have recognised a reference from the 'future'.

The end though, wow, is that Gene like most think or a brother or son or, or....? You don’t really keep pics of your selves in a box but you never know on this show. If Gene is the dead cop maybe Keats is trying to get him to pass over as it's probably long over due. 

Love the theory that it’s all Wizard of OZ related as the director of LOM used to sneak references into it, the rainbow at the end when they all pile into the car is one. Thordy – Dorothy. Shaz is Cowardly Lion which is why she got her LOM moment and praise from Gene for being brave, Ray is Tin Man because he got his for showing empathy (heart) Chris is Scarecrow as he has no brain so he has to do something that requires a lot of thinking to get his LOM moment. Weather vane shows W and E (the wicked witches) and I think Keats is the wicked witch of the West who wants Dorothy (Alex) so he is sort of a Grim Reaper taking souls.
Alex has to get rid of Keats to go home, in WOZ Dorothy has to do the Wizard a favour (getting rid of witch), so I think Gene is the Wizard or some God-like figure and his problem is 6620 and Keats which is the puzzle Alex has to solve for him.

Then of course there’s the copper limbo one which is looking more likely ;)

It’s a really cool one and I noticed Alex wears red shoes a lot, heck there’s a lot of red in the show anyways. Mind you they could be following the fun they had at hiding the refs in LOM and it’s just a red herring XD People have so many theories I think the safest one is just to go for the ride because it hurts trying to work it all out :D

And aww thanks for reading, I’m glad you can get through all that rambling, I’m a bit all over the shop but I try to make sense XD (sometimes) Aww work always gets in the way of fun, hope it’s over with soon *hugs*
