The Season Finale Thread!
 

Hmm... I'm a TV junkie that stopped watching TV regularly. It's a strange, strange thing. The only show I was really into this year (and all because I caught up online over the last week and a half) was Heroes.

Intermittently, I like to watch a lot of random shows, so I tend to not get wrapped into finales. It's not like "The Girls Next Door" or "Mythbusters" really gets the whole "finale" treatment, anyway.

I need to go figure out when Heroes: Origins starts.

Dancing with the Stars Season Finale.... I was hoping Joey Fatone was going to win. Was kind of bummed about that... the finale was cute.. was nice to see all of them back on the dancefloor... congrats little ice skater twink boy...

Wow, I must be tired... I totally read that as Dancing with the Star Wars Season Finale.

I'm going to crash pretty hard tonight, after my last final.

I'll tell you the show that has sucked us in, big time, is The Riches with Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver. Its season finale is approaching and we are bummed. It's really a great show. Luckily, Weeds starts up in another couple of months. That has to be about the best written show I've ever seen on TV.

The Season Finale Thread!
 

Well as much as i wanna watch the finale of American Idol tonite's season finale of LOST will be on as well. Not sure about this season what i really thought about it. To be honest i loved season 1. Season 2 i kinda only watched here and there due to interest in American Idol. Then Season 3 i've watched all the way thru. I do like the whole character flashbacks etc storyline of each episode. It gave us viewers more what a certain person was like history etc. But some of the episodes i thought weren't the best and i'm like how can this show keep going til 2010? I mean wrap it up so to speak but there are so many unanswered questions.

Lost and 24 is about it for me.

OMG OMG OMG - Weeds is coming back! Yay! I was so worried that that would be the end of it.

ER: another character mutilated. Another nasty family squabble over a child.

For someone who used to have the TV on whenever I was home, I am so pleased I seem to be a successful recovering television addict ... free of the habit for nearly five years!

There was a period when my tv was broke, and I simply quit. I stopped picking up new shows, and just watched my current ones till they either went off the air or jumped the shark.

I still catch up on good shows by renting the DVDs. From this season, I'm likely to rent Heroes. I'm really glad that Weeds got picked up. I'll probably check out the 3rd season of Lost, even though it may shark jump right there.

But I'm down to one show that is still on the air that I've watched from the "old days." And it's going off the air in two weeks. The Sopranos dates from the time when I watched TV regularly, and its highly anticipated series finale means not only an end to one of the best shows of all time, but the end of a lifetime of regular series viewing by me.


Quite a milestone. I'll miss The Sopranos, but I revel in my new life of not being glued to the set.




:iSm:


Who am I kidding? I'm watching some Netflix disc or another most nights.

I'm waiting for them to bring back Steven Botchco's Cop Rock.

Same here. 3 Netflix waiting for me at home in case I'm bored over the long weekend (not). Commercial TV I watch almost none, Project Runway was my last regular must watch thing, and I see that is coming back. I loved Rome on HBO, but The Sopranos I saw season 1, then I moved to VA and did not have HBO, now I'm back and watching the end of the series, which is kinda weird.

I loved the first Law & Order: CI finale, the one with the A team of Goren/Eames. I hope the writers carry over Goren's reaction into next season.

I sort of half watched the SVU finale, but I also taped it, so I am going to go back and watch again. Looks like a lot of shakeups among the team!

SVU - So not cool what the former captain did to Cragen. I wonder if Cragen is going down now. I was near tears when they took Kathleen off to jail. It seems most of the squad had something brushed under the rug. I hope former captain can live with himself. Scum. Is Elliott going to go home now?

NCIS - Great ending. I so love Mark Harmon. Probably the only one here who watches it.

Jericho - SERIES finale :( I hate when networks do that. NBC did that to Surface last year. Only hope is the serious media attention grabbing campaign to bring it back. So far CBS sounds like they will give us a movie for closure. Hopefully there is a season 2.

Those, Lost and 24 are the only shows I watch on a regular basis. And by regular basis I mean TIVO and watch when I can.

The Season Finale Thread!
 

Dunno if i should post this here or in the LOST thread but last nite wow. Questions going thru my head at this moment even after watching the finale. I'll post in the LOST Thread what i thought etc.

The Season Finale Thread!
 

Ok since this is the season finale thread i might as well post it in here as well. Ok LOST had me going near the end of the show last nite. I still have questions today as to what happened will happen. First off poor poor Charlie but i wonder is he really dead? i know i know Locke was presumably shot and left for dead as well and he came back last nite or his character did anyways. SO maybe and the damn news commerical said "Is Charlie really dead find out at 11pm news"? So i'm wondering but if he really is dead then :( Cuz i really liked his character.

Second Jack and Kate...if they had have something going on why was she is she with Sawyer.? And when they were rescued (flash forward to the ending) did she say to Jack "I have to go he'll be wondering where i am" meaning Sawyer i imagine.

Why do they have to go back to the island for anyways? I would think you're rescued why go back there. And if it wasn't Penny's boat and Ben is right then why were they rescued when Ben said that the people are evil and will kill everyone? That part doesn't make sense at least at the moment. Maybe when Season 4 starts we'll get some answers as to that.

Oh Ally please send me your cell number hon. SO i can put it in my phone asap.

Isn't his daughter Kathleen and his wife Kathy?

His daughter who had a DUI disappear a few seasons ago. Last night the scum bag former captain (who Cragin took down) exposed it and the blond judge from Who's the Boss re-issued the DUI after she made it go away.

I loved Cop Rock.

Yes, I said it. I loved that show. I love musicals. I like cops shows.

Peanut Butter, meet Chocolate.

I'm I the only one that watches Ugly Betty?

I mean.... wth was that?????

More cut brakes??? You're leaving me in the LURCH?????

And a shooting????
And the shot echoing at the same time Tony is shot in west side story???
OMG I was sobbing!!!

(and if there is anyone who watches... did they only make Maria white/american and Tony/Mexican, or did they reverse the whole gangs?)

And kudos to Justin. Nice singing for a very young man.

And Henry.... I have to wait till the next season to find out about Henry and Charlie!?!?!?!?

(and Ally, the DVR did not tape SVU except for four minutes. I could scream)

I love Ugly Betty. Can't wait for next season!

Television Without Pity

Know it. Love it.

However, the link did not help me.

Jets and sharks.... anyone?

Ponine... I totally watch Ugly Betty. It's a Ugly Grey night for me! ;)

I can't beleive Charlie was dating the dentist. Do you not love Kristen Chenoweth as the perky blonde helping Betty?!?!? Yay Glinda!

The storyline with the dad in Mexico and how the family (or friends) of his wife's deceased hubby now know he's in town. What will happen to papi?!?

I am so all about Henry and Betty they are so adoreable together!

Sorry can't remember. I wasn't really paying attention to that.

I sorry. If you give a week they will post a re-cap. I wasn't really directing it at anyone in particular. I just love that site for their recaps.

Hey, I do, too! Although I will confess that I started watching it because of David McCallum, my old love from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. back from before the rest of you were born. Geezer lust. Sigh.:)

I love Ugly Betty! The finale really got to me, too. There were almost too many loose ends but I loved it.

I found the finale of Numb3rs to be kind of upsetting, too. I don't always realize how wrapped up I get in the characters in these shows until something goes wrong and I have to remind myself it's only a story. I still miss Larry and his adorable geekiness.

Wait wait... I mised the last two episodes, I thought EW said that Larry was back???
Did he leave again???

Grrr... I need to find that episode so I know what "wrong" thing you speak of.

I'm looking forward to The Sopranos series finale. I loved the season finale of How I Met Your Mother. And the 24 finale was one step above amazing!

Wow, I'm actually surprised that we seem to be the only ones watching The Riches. Y'all are missing some good stuff. :)

I have most all of the Riches episodes on my DVR just haven't gotten to them yet. I LOVE Eddie Izzard.

Edie was in love with Carlos, and she promised him a baby if he'd stay with her. But she kept taking her birth control pills. Carlos found them. He said he'd never trust her again and it was a huge scene at Gabby's wedding. Edie was heartbroken- he meant it. I loved how she bared herself to him, but then he basically shut his eyes to what she was doing. She was on her way to becoming a real person, but then came the whole thing- Carlos wants a baby more than just about anything except possibly to have Gabby back. Edie thought she could snare him with the promise of a baby but no.

Poor Edie. She was doing so well. The manipulative little snake. :) But she was learning. Sort of.

What? Larry bites it???? I knew they sent him to outer space and he was on 24. There were references to him being back but still not calling ... what's her name... Megan. He didn't get in touch with Megan because he's ... well, himself. They hadn't said anything happens with him though- I thought he was doing fine.... I'll miss him, too. I liked him. I liked him on Ally McBeal, I like him on 24, and I liked him here.

::sigh::

Then you need to check out the movie I posted about in the Misc Movie Musings thread. He even does the DVD commentary.

I'd submit my PM, but......I'd win and that would not be fair. Besides, i live too far and just got back from vacation. ;)

Without actually seeing it (I haven't seen anything from the last two seasons) it seems appropriate to me.

I know it is generating a lot of complaints, but the SF Chronicle TV critic (who I like a lot) liked it a lot.

Saw it. Loved it.

Didn't see it. Heard about it. Really hope that Lost! doesn't do the same type of ending.

Funny - until you posted this, I never knew they were on the same night (the magic of TiVo and DVRs). And yes, we watch them both.

House finale spoilerized in case anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Re: House

That's good to know. Thank you Alex.

imo.. the papi story line is going to die. Its not what makes the story move.
The whole dentist thing.... what a bee-yotch....
but yes, I liked Kristen!!

Thats okay, I know its my theatre geekiness coming through. :D

Agreed.

I don't watch the show - but I know generally what it's about.

This morning the were discussing it on the radio and a caller called in and said they didn't watch much - but the one episode they did watch the guy - Tony? - was telling another guy something to effect of:

When you get whacked you'll never see it coming. Everything will just go black.


Seems like a fitting way to end it based on that.

Thank you, guys! I still haven't watched it (I was way too tired after a weekend in Vegas to dedicate myself to anything besides sleep)!

I spoke with my Grandma last night, who watched The Sopranos & she said she loathed the final episode! Knowing my Grandma, I had a feeling she might! I'm much like BTD- I agree with her spoiler in the above post.

However, after reading Betty's post, and knowing how The Sopranos did end, that seems like an awesome ending! But then it makes me wonder what really might of happened...

Spoiler:

....after the screen went black. Didn't the episode end with Meadow running into the restaurant to join her family for dinner, while the camera panned to a few men who supposedly were there to whack Tony? I'm totally going based on what I have heard. I really need to tune in & watch it! Also, did Uncle June really not recognize Janice? Thank God my beloved Paulie Walnuts was spared! I have also heard that there is not a movie in the works.

Spoiler loving minds need to know! :D

I think Tony got whacked. I'm thinking it might have been from his point of view. I mean once he's gone, there's no more show. And that's what they showed us with the ten seconds of black.
That's my theory anyway. The last thing he saw was his daughter coming in the door and someone whacked him. Maybe the guy in the bathroom.
:shrug:

Remember this? So whats up with THIS?

I just read that but the article I read added this
