So these past couple of weeks have been fraught with season finales. Here are my thoughts on a couple of them.
I really like Life on Mars. I love the characters, the storyline works, and the chemistry between No Nuts and Sam is great (except when he kept going for other girls, the idiot). Gretchen Mol's No Nuts is one of the most likeable and yet uncontrived characters I've seen on TV. I want to be her!
But then... Came then...
(Anyone?) Yeah. They COMPLETELY ruined the entire show, and all it took was the last five minutes of the episode. I came away angry and annoyed and betrayed. Clues all along the way, my foot. They throw you a treat, you bite, and the hook sinks right into your cheek. Grrr!!!! I don't want to give it away for anyone who hasn't seen it. I just wanted to let you know it Royally Sucked. Capitalized.
The other show I wish to address is, "Life." I honestly don't care all that much for that show. I just really really like Damien Lewis, even though his character can be a little annoying at times. My favorite character on the show is Ted, the excon for corporate embezzling that lives with Detective Crews until he gets back on his feet. It was because I liked him so much I went back and looked for other shows he had been on, and proceeded to watch the first season of Chicago Hope. THAT'S how likeable a character he was. Anyway, the point is the show was a little better than mediocre, but the season finale ROCKED!!!! One punch to the throat, and the problems of a thousand people are gone in an instant. Good jorb, Life writers! I may have gasped then giggled. And THAT my friends, is how you end a show.
