Year of the fist
These ads are not new, and American viewers will have already seen them. They are interesting to me because it shows this new première has taken on a lot more of the original version than David E. Kelley’s rejected pilot for Life on Mars. The new American lines are actually quite funny, with references to Sam’s ‘cell’ and Gene’s ‘year of the fist’. According to Chris, Sam has transferred to the 125th Precinct from ‘Hyde’—presumably Hyde Park, New York, near Poughkeepsie (which is where the new Nelson is from). We also see a scene with Lisa Bonet as Maya in one of the spots.
