From my trip to Peru to getting prepared for my organization's annual convention in Vegas next week, it's been a really busy time. Sorry I haven't had the chance to blog much and address some great topics like my new niece Addison or how travelling with my mother to Machu Picchu has changed my outlook on life some.
But one thing that's quick and dirty for me to talk about is television. And I can say that though it's been a fantastic year with Brothers & Sisters, Heroes, Lost and some other shows, I really feel like some of the season finales have let me down.
Case in point--Gilmore Girls. It wasn't even a great episode. Good, but eh? You'd expect a season--and series!--finale to pull out all the bells and whistles while still staying true to its core. But GG didn't do either. I felt like the characters were a bit lost, and really I didn't get the GG love vibes I was expecting.
Heroes and Desperate Housewives left me nonplussed too. I think everyone in the world realized nearly two months ago exactly how Heroes was going to end. And Housewives? Well, it was boring as hell except for Edie kicking the bucket. (Or did she?)
Anyway...there have been two saving graces. Brothers & Sisters was amazing on Sunday. It's the only part of my Sunday television viewing where I turn off my computer, I stop folding clothes, I don't even pet the cats. It deserves my attention because it's so damn fun to watch. And the finale was just the same: funny, sappy, intriguing, and just plain feel-good. I think the show is really one of my favorites to watch and enjoy. It's no grand work of art...but it's fantastic.
And that leaves me with Lost. I keep hearing there is a game-changing thing in the works in the finale. I'll be honest, my feelings about the this year's tv season probably (unfairly) hinge on the season finale of Lost. So much is at stake, so much has changed, and for the first time in years--I'm spoiler free. I just hope the Lost team doesn't let me down.
