Mars (02/15/08)

just got done this morning (around 2) watching the entire 21 episodes of the (i think) Japanese or it might have been Taiwanese series "Mars". Between a college girl that has retreated into herself because of a rape by her father and a want-to-be motorcycle racer who has everyone he loves die around him (with a serious Twin-Mother-Death complex), the show wasn't entirely that bad. I mean, his best friend liked the girl first but then stepped aside so the "hero" could snatch her away. Not to mention his psycho one-night stands swearing they have a connection just to end up being his girlfriend's best friend and his best friend's girlfriend in the end. Oh yeah, did I mention the creepy kid that comes with his own creepy theme sounds? Well, there's that guy too. Was beaten a lot when he was a kid and killed his best friend just because he wanted to play good ("Pitiful creature as I have the ability to take life."-creepy guys main line). Except for the part when there is only ONE race involved in the entire series and a whole lot of life lessons, the entertainment was good, acting…alright. Overall, B- in my book.
