[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 377327, member: 23"] And in the blink of an eye, [I]Whoops Apocalypse[/I] has happened. That is, I've completed the series but I still have the film version to watch. The ending was surprisingly downbeat (downbeat, at least, for this series) with the reveal that the President's wife is the woman we see in the opening titles, sadly selling mushrooms to commemorate the post-nuclear situation. And it closed with the mellow version of the theme. All in all, I think six episodes is enough, and I'm very curious to see how the film version compares. The tone of the final episode of the series can be summed up by drawing attention to Geoffrey Palmer playing [U][I]very much[/I][/U] against type in his final scene. What a sport (scene begins at 9:20, and GP appears at the ten minute mark in a rather eye-popping ensemble): [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]Nh1zR7d6tYU:560[/MEDIA][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
