Well, it took me a while, but I just finished the transcript for LOM 2x08. I'll probably give it one or two final read-throughs, to look for any undetected typos (and to tighten up the "screen directions" a bit), but it's essentially complete.
You know, it was surprisingly difficult to write up. It's not exactly my favourite episode -- so much unrelieved grimness and angst, with precious little humour to leaven it. On the other hand, I felt much more sympathetic towards Sam by the time I'd finished. He wasn't very easy to like in this ep (especially following the sublime 2x07), but transcribing the episode forced me to see/relive it through Sam's eyes more acutely than I had done before. For example, I hadn't noticed that just before Sam awakens in 2006, there are two voices are calling "Sam, please come back" - his mother and Annie - pulling him in two opposing directions, and ultimately (arguably) pulling him apart.
Anyway, this is mainly to say that it should be ready to upload by the time you look up your username and password :-) Just let me know how I can get the HTML file to you!
P.S. Added you to my friends list to be on the safe side. Please don't feel any obligation to reciprocate (unless you really want to!); I mainly wanted to make sure I could track back to the right place. So far my own presence on LJ is pretty much limited to posting to Fans of Life on Mars ;-)
