There were some serious stuff going on in the finales of my many shows this year, and LOST and Grey's Anatomy took a lot of time to comment on, that I haven't had time to comment on the others, who are just as equally worthy of my comment :)
So we have Private Practice....and poor poor Dell. I kinda knew it was coming and all, but they all sort of forgot about him, all day. I'm glad Maya is okay, happy that Violet and Pete are working things out, estatic that Charlotte and Cooper are back together, and I guess I should be glad that they gave Chris Lowell a proper exit from the show. He's been left out a lot this season, and honestly sometimes I completely forgot about him...I was never a huge Dell fan, liked him a lot, but not loved. -I still like him better than Naomi, so that should count for something :P
But what makes it sadder is that everyone sorta ignored him all day, and obviously didn't make sure he had the best care, I know it was all about Maya...but still...
What makes me feel extra bad is how they have completely orphaned poor Betsey! In almost the one year she lost her mother, wasn't allowed to say goodbye, and then loses her dad....SAD!
Then there was Brothers & Sisters....I had no idea what was going on in that ep, all sorts of things were happening. I knew the last 10 minutes were big, but had no idea what was going come of it - only that Rob Lowe was leaving, and therefore Robert McCallister was most likely a gonner!
So I was all weirded out by the Saul and AIDS stuff....another thing that makes me KNOW they are just making up half this stuff as they go...there is very little forward planning to this series. Then there was stuff going on with Robert and the Government....and telling Justin secrets, or not telling him...
Then there's Ojay being gone, and once again going on about Narrow Lake and how it COULD have potential....that they just haven't found yet.
So they all go for dinner at the old Ojay house....why exactly I'm not sure....Scotty and Saul are opening a restaurant...sounds cool that part - but we'll see what comes of that. Robert collapses, and goes to hospital....I'm thinking is that it!? But nope, he's okay, and they go back to the house. Then there's a call from Narrow Lake, they've found a huge underground water reserve.....which they dance in -gotta admit that looked silly and fun at the same time.
-So we end with them all driving away from Ojay, and Justin and Rebecca are the last to leave....and come across the whole rest of the family (and some other people I believe) involved in a major car accident, involving a huge truck....which we are assuming hit Robert and Kitty, and everyone else then crashed as a result. Everyone is injured to various degrees, Saul is bleeding and won't let anyone touch him because now he has discovered he has aids, Holly is hurt pretty bad, and poor Robert dies of his injuries.
So even though I knew he was leaving, they way they did it was excellent and truely tearjerking! I was bawling! I mean besides killing off one of my faves, they injured everyone else pretty much...and thats a lot to take in in a short amount of time. Rob Lowe we will miss you greatly on Brothers & Sisters!!!!
-I also hope the show runners get it together next season and find a game plan to stick to....this season was all kinds of chaos.....anyone remember Ryan?.....Can anyone say, HUGE WASTE OF TIME?!
Moving on......The Good Wife ended with a nice little friendly cliffhanger - no deaths, or explosions or anything dangerous....just a nice little who will Alicia choose, her husband Peter or Will? Personally, I don't really have favorite choice at the moment.....but if she doesn't choose Peter, Chris Noth won't be in it much next season...and that would suck.
-Oh and it was nice to have Amy Acker in a little cameo, since her husband plays that cop Kalinda is hanging around....although not really up to par with her past 'butt kicking' roles.
Parenthood had a pretty weak finale....they wrapped up the Haddy/Amber issue storyline which was nice....both of them have impluse issues! They also wrapped up the parent's issues - well they spoke to each other, and thats a start. Other than that, there wasn't a lot happening....but then it was only a 13 ep first season, and maybe they will build to something more interesting next season.
Parks and Recreation had an okay finale....It had Rob Lowe in it which is fun- Doesn't mean I'm not mad at him for leaving B&S though...He's sticking around for a little while I believe. It is always fun to see his funny side come out. But other than that there wasn't tons going on, not that ever is on that show. I know Mark won't be back next season, but I doubt that will have much effect on the quality....I mean it's all about Amy Poehler really!
Cougar Town also had an ok, nothing special finale....but its not really a fantastically special show, so that was to be expected. -Yay for Taye Diggs guest starring next season!
Modern Family's finale was fun, a family photo theme....a perfectly good way to go out....Lets see how things go in season 2!
I think that's all my finales for now....I've got a whole post for Glee (of course). So stay tuned!
