Ending Seasons
No, I'm not talking about Winter ending. We don't even have Winter where I live. I'm talking about TV Series Season Endings, particularly the last episode of Heroes last week (or was it the week before that?).
Normally, I dread the last episode of a show that I watch... mostly because I'd have to wait several months to find the answer to questions that cliffhangers bring. But last night, I begrudgingly watched episode 19 of Heroes without knowing that it was the last episode for the season. And while I really loved the first season of Heroes, every other season after it just got worse and worse to the point that I wanted to stop watching in the middle of the season and I have to force myself to watch.
I endured an entire season of Peter struggling with Nathan's death, Sylar struggling with himself, HRG and Claire's Issues, Hiro and his stupid quests and a new baddie, Samuel, terrorizing them all. While I do enjoy the addition of the dude from Prison Break and his effective portrayal of a deranged circus freak, everything else downright sucked.
The funny thing is... each season, I still go out and watch the episodes of shows that I don't particularly enjoy anymore. Sure, I stopped following Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, 90210 and Melrose Place. But I did promise that I'd catch up with it eventually. It makes me wonder... why the hell do I keep watching these terrible shows? Do I expect it to get better or go back to its former glory?
I'm willing to bet that come the next season, I'll still watch Heroes. Even if I have to endure 20 or so episodes of the same idiocy that I have watched for the past 3 seasons. Even if it has become a big steaming pile of shit.
What about you guys? Which shows do you hate but can't stop watching?
