Season (Series) Finales (TV)

It's May and it's that time of year when some shows end on a cliffhanger and leave you wondering what will happen until Fall or some shows close their curtains for good. Here are a few random thoughts.

Season Finale
Bones - While the show can be predictable at times, I still enjoy the interplay between the two leads. The *shocking* ending nicely sets up a direction to follow up on in season 2. I just hope it's not dragged out too long ala Mulder's sister on the X-Files. I loved the way Buffy the Vampire Slayer (fond favorite) sets up a big baddie at the beginning of the season and takes care of him, her, or it by the end of the season. More shows could learn from this.

Prison Break - Argh. Ending sucked and blowed. Yeah, they escape, but the very end left me feeling unstatisfied and underappreciated. I might catch the first episode of the next season, but they'll have to work hard to keep me coming back.

CSI - Grissom and Siddle?!? Together? Ewww.

Survivor - If it couldn't be Cirie, then I'm glad Aras won.

Desperate Housewives - I liked the flashbacks and thought the episode strong in an otherwise weak, way weak season.

24 - Jack going to China!?!

Series Finale
Will & Grace - I'm a sucker for series enders and this one was good. Haven't been watching for a while, but liked how they ended things. Reminded me of how Six Feet Under ended by leaving no doubt as to the ultimate fate of the characters.

That 70's Show - Sucked.
