WARNING: This blog contains spoilers for FRINGE, LOST, and GREY'S ANATOMY
I hate this time of year. I really hate it. I hate it it because after investing hours of my life into episodic stories TV people feel the need to wrap up seasons and take a break. I think these prime time shows need to take a cue from Soap Opera's, now those people manage to get 5 shows on a week. Some might argue quality but 5 shows is a lot. I practically feel those people over at THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL are part of my family. Heck! I have known those people for 20 years! So why should those prime time TV people limit themselves to 22 episodes a season ? I know, I know, advertising and money. But darn it, I want more than 22 episodes. I need my Barney, my Hurley, my Jeff Probst, my Gosselins, and those desperate housewives! If you are like me, you get so friggin' attached to some of these television shows that you are suddenly thrown into traction in May as the season comes to a close. I can't believe I have to wait months to see these shows! Is it me or has the hiatis time for TV shows gotten longer? Those LOST people seem to take a friggin' long break!!! I know it's supposed to be so that they can run the show continuously but I say why don't you just make more shows? It's rare you get friggin' good television so why don't you give us more?
When it comes to season finales this year, it's my humble opinion that these series finales were especially shocking this year. Am I right? Seems like everything I have seen so far has been SHOCKING. I am still trying to get over a few of them. For instance, I was shocked that Leonard Nimoy wasn't in the FRINGE finale more than 3 measly minutes. How dare the stick him in for a teasing 3 minutes! Losers! I was shocked by LOST'S Juliet's rather long fall down a well...only to live...only find out that she has to trigger a nuclear bomb...only to have to hit the said bomb (which by the way fell a friggin' long way not to detonate)...only to die...or so we are made to think? I was shocked by the whole Izzy and George, "are they?" or "aren't they?" dead thing on GREY'S ANATOMY. Killing off two main characters is shocking! Don't go getting any ideas from LOST ok Grey's people? My question on Grey's is, is Izzy and George possibly getting the axe for their stories? Or are they possibly getting axed because they are pain in the ass to the producer in real life? Either way, don't kill them! They are annoying but that is the whole point of soap operas! Soap Operas are only good when you fill them with annoying people. Then I was shocked by The Ghost Whisper's finale mainly because Melinda has had the fastest pregnancy known to man kind and also because the whole your baby is going to be more powerful than you story was cheesy (and I like soap operas). Come on Ghost people you went light on me this year and that was shocking. Lastly, I was shocked to h-e-double hockey sticks that my stupid Replay, which I normally love, didn't record the series finale of Desperate Housewives. F***! Now I need to try and find it on line. Darn you Netflix on the Xbox for turning something off so my Replay didn't get the update! I am shocked that the super awesome Replay didn't work this time.
Speaking of Netflix, single handedly the best invention known to man kind. I have been having all sorts of fun finding new movies to watch. I love the little application on the iTouch, otherwise known, as my hubby's "Little TV" and I love the fact you can take as much time as you want to watch things. Although, if you want to get more bang for your buck you better return those puppies ASAP. My hubby is really good at this. I think he has seen a bazillion movies already. I watched FENCH KISS, the day before I flew to Paris on that, way, awesome watching movies through Xbox feature they have. I saw NICK AND NORA, ROLE MODELS, NIGHTS IN RODANTHE (don't rent this as it's a really terrible movie that gives chick flicks a bad name), BOLT, etc. And you know what? My cue is waiting to send me more. I think when our free run of it is over those Netflix people are going to be getting a check from me each month because I love that service. It's like crack for movie lovin' folk.
