Endings

Most of the good TV series have ended. There'll be a drought on Bit Torrent till September.

Lost

They've finally been FOUND! Jack and Kate made it off the island, but regrets doing so, cos they were "not meant to leave." Walt, the boy whose puberty resulted in him and Michael to be written out of the story, suddenly re-appeared. A ghost asks John to help him. Pippin, sorry -- Charlie, finally died. Danielle meets her daughter at last.

Please just finish the story already. It's hard to remain emotionally invested in any of the characters. We just want to see how everything ends, so that there's some closure.

House

A rather lame End-Of-Season cliffhanger, when you compare it to the previous two seasons.

Season 1 ended with House's almost-wife coming back. Season 2 ends with House dying from lead poisoning (delivered with a hand-gun).

Season 3 ended with his entire team fired or resigning. Ya. Like THAT will stick. They'll be back. Those three actors are small time and have nowhere better to be, they wouldn't leave the show willingly.

Jericho

Jake loses his dad, and he now leads the town of Jericho in a desperate defence against an invasion force. But the US army is on its way to break up the war. An army flying a new American flag, and led by the mysterious figure who may have engineered the nuclear attacks in the first place.

We're finally getting somewhere in understanding who launched the nukes that destroyed the US Federal Government. There's a fascinating conspiracy.

But this won't matter cos CBS is axing the show.

TV Executives hate sci-fi. Star Trek. Firefly. Futurama. But shows like American Idiot and Squirm Factor will keep going.

Scrubs

J.D. is about to become a father. Blonde doctor is about to marry Keith.

And they screw everything up by screwing each other. Saw that coming from a mile away.

But the whole season is redeemed merely for the Broadway musical episode.

Gilmore Girls

Series finale. Finally. Followed this chick show for years cos the witty dialogue and kooky characters were brilliant. But the last few seasons were pretty dumb and uninspiring. Kept following it for the sake of closure.

Lorelai almost marries Luke. Lorelai marries Christopher. Lorelai divorces Christopher. Rory gets a marriage proposal. Rory rejects marriage proposal. The whole town loves Rory. Rory leaves.

Bah.

I could have written a better ending. Like in that episode when the mayor turned the whole town into a hay-wall maze... Somebody smoked carelessly around the hay. Fire spreads uncontrollably across the entire town. Fire rescue got lost in the maze and can't reach their fire engines. Everybody in Star's Hollow succumbs to the smoke, the town burns to the ground, leaving nothing behind but charred corpses.

Fin.

Heroes

Started off as an uninspiring X-Men knock-off, and was unimpressed. Kept watching only cos Hiro Nakamura is adorable to watch.

But the character development was alright, and it started to grow on me. A couple of plot points felt rather clumsy, but it eventually got the job done. The twists were suspenseful and ultimately, a pretty cool story.

Sylar is defeated, but did not completely perish. Everyone risked their lives to defeat him, fully aware of the threat and danger he poses. And when they 'killed' him, nobody took the trouble to verify his vitals, or decapitate him. He had 'returned' from the dead before, and at least one guy there should have known better! Instead, the season ends with a blood trail leading into the sewers, and Hiro teleported back to feudal Japan.

How I Met Your Mother

Marshall and Lily marries. Robin and Ted breaks up, and Barney gets Ted back.

This sitcom remains fun just because of Barney, played by Doogie Howser.

The Simpsons

They did a spoof of World of Warcraft, and one on 24. Nothing particularly inspiring anymore. But have been watching this for more than half my life. May as well keep going.

Family Guy

A gutsier knock-off of the Simpsons family. Funnier jokes. It's constantly in danger of getting cut from the air, so the show is forever pushing the envelope of decency, determined to go out in a blaze of glory. But somehow the show manages to cling on. "Son of a bitch", "God damnit" and "asshole" etc are common fare. And in this season, for the first time, "F*ck" escaped the notice of the censors, where it had always been bleeped the last 5 seasons.

24

Didn't bother to watch this season. There's a mole inside CTU. A hostile takeover in CTU leadership happens. Bad guys have Jack's loved-one hostage. Jack acts on his own against the instructions of his superiors and ends up fighting everybody. Jack makes a bunch of phonecalls, some of which gets cut-off at critical moments. Jack tortures some bad guys.

It's the same thing every season! ENOUGH ALREADY!

Prison Break

END THE STORY ALREADY!! The conspiracy is finally exposed. Michael's brother is free. But Michael gets arrested and dumped into a Panama prison. No one likes the show after they escaped the prison! Enough already. END IT!
