Finales are over...

This is a sad time in the world of TV...many series had bid farewell. Some for a few short months, some forever. Some finales leave you wanting more, and gripping your seat for next season...while others tie it up in a nice bow. Cliffhangers always get me...I do not want to have to wait 3 months to find out if it did or did not happen, if so and so died, etc. I prefer things tied up in a bow...now let's be serious, that does not make for great TV...but I still want it that way! As all of my Fall shows have closed for the summer, I am picking up my summer season. However, I want to spend some time with you all, and go into the finale season and what it all means. Well more what it means to me, and how I feel. I hope that you too hope and feel the same thing.

It is really late at the moment, so this is not going to be long and go into all of the finales and my thoughts. Just general thoughts to the finales, one liners to think about. Cheers and Jeers, that are too loud in my head to quiet.

Like my biggest Jeer of the finale season...if your show is going off the air forever, tie it up. If you were not sure if you were getting picked up for a new season...tie it up in a nice bow. I was one of the few loyal fans to FlashForward...I loved it, and if you read back to the beginning of the fall season, I picked it as one of my top picks. Yes it was slow at points, but I think the concept was great and it had probably about 3 seasons in it. It was not a Law and Order, that could go for 20 seasons. However, I feel it had a good 3 seasons in it. In fact, I am hoping for a movie to tie up the things it opened in the finale.

They were oh so nice to tie up some of storylines, yet in tying them up, they opened up about 500 more. I guess this just plays into one of my biggest pet peeves. Like The Proposal for instance. Great movie up until the last 5 min, it left me wanting more to know more about the characters. Some people think that is great entertainment, for me it pisses me off. If I am going to invest my time and money into it, I want it to leave me not asking 7000 questions. Life doesn't just end at the end of a series or a movie, but there has to be some kind of idea how life goes on.

In FlashForward, I have not a damn clue. So the second flashforward happened and it was New Year's Eve 2015 I believe. What the hell, you are just gonna stop there. Who did Charlie say they found...I want to know. And where did the double agent Janis get taken to. You know one of the people in charge of the blackout had her taken during blackout, and what about the baby. I want more, and unless my idea of a movie comes to life, which I highly doubt, I am gonna be asking questions for a long time.

My other top pick of the fall was The Good Wife, which I LOVE. And so happy it was picked up, but damn you for leaving me as Alicia is deciding Peter or Will. Who will she pick, and does this mean. I'm not sure she loves Peter anymore, but she has two kids. Is will really going to look past the lust and the what if, and realize that they are not in college any longer, and that life happened since then. Alicia has kids, and soccer games, and homework to deal with. It is not that simple. Things are simple when you are in college and you try to steal your classmates girl. There is no extra baggage...or at least not as much.

So I guess kudos to them for having me wanting more, and ticking off each day on the calendar until season premiere time. Yet, I can still be a little peeved because I want to know now.

You know a good example of Series Finales...Ghost Whisper. While we are not yet sure that it was for sure a series finale, ABC is reportedly looking to give it some good ol' CPR and have it live on ABC. However, just in case it is not revived...it tied things up, yet leaving you wanting to know more too. It was done so well. We figured out what the shinys were, we found resolution with them. Aidan is using his powers, and becoming his mom's hero by saving her. It was so good, so damn good. I just cannot believe it was axed. Friday is the toughest day of the week, and it was winning its time slot. Seriously, we cut the top of the pack. And move Big Bang Theory to Thursday. CBS is taking super risks for the fall...either they have some great new blood in their pickups, or there is something funky in their water over there at CBS.

So Grey's and Private Practice...they left me feeling and wanting more. And just trying to come to graps to what really happened. I am not going to lie and say I was completely shocked at everything that happened. To me some of it was so predictable...other stuff did in fact shock the hell out of me. I still loved both and will go more into them at some other time.

Those are the finales that are on my mind and have been. There is more, but getting this out will let me sleep, and it is 4am and I do need to sleep. So look for more, and look for it to appear more frequently. I will tie up finale thoughts and ideas and theories, but also write about my summer show. Most are reality shows, so deal with it. I do watch some scripted shows in the summer, like Army Wives and Royal Pains. It also appears that networks are getting on the summer scripted series wagon. So we will see what I pick up.

I've been away far too long

I have been sitting for months, saying that I needed to start writing in here again. I watch just as much if not more TV than I ever have. Being unemployed with nothing to fill your days does that to you. I lie I'm employed but the most I can work every day is 4 hours, so it still leaves me a lot of time to watch TV. I just haven't been able to sit down and get my thoughts down for all of my shows. However, I totally should have because I made some great guesses for my shows and they are working out to be true. I totally called Lily being sick on Gossip Girl, and knew that Janis was a double agent. I also figured out Dell was the one dying on the season finale of Private Practice.

I do not have any insider info, I just am good at picking up things that most people don't. However, I will admit that I totally did not see George being the patient on Grey's when he was hit by the bus last year. I just like TV, and pay attention and enjoy escaping into that world. So I really want to try and give my opinions and guesses to the free world. Or maybe just the random person or two who happens to pass by my blog.

So my plan to get this back and running, will be blogging about finales as a way in. That way I really have no timeline, because well they aren't coming back for a couple of months! So this will let me ease back into this. I also may decide on a different layout. Instead of summing up every single show I watch, I may give a thought or two about every show, and then a focus on one show for each day of the week. We'll see how it works out, especially seeing as I will be back in school in the fall. Instead of watching TV and writing blogs, I will be in class and writing papers. I hope to have time to watch and write. I need the outlet and I miss it. So bare with me as I try and revant this blog and make it what I always visioned it to be! Be back soon with my opinions on the shows that got canned and the shows that got a second life. As well as the finales and thoughts onto where they go next season.
