The Season Finales
All three of my favorite shows ended their seasons this week. Alias ended the entire series! How kind of them all to finish just before I leave, 'cause that would have sucked big time. heh. *g*
You know, I never really wanted to watch this show - I didn't watch any of the other seasons. The only reason I decided to watch this season was because Julian Sands, who I have been in love with ever since I was 15, was going to be in it. *g* Of course, I got sucked in before you could say boo and fully plan on watching the other seasons. It was amusing, tho, when I talked to people about 24 how many who had watched previous seasons, gave it up because it's too intense, too nerve wrecking and stressful a show. Which I totally get! I mean, it's really silly in some ways, but you're wound pretty tight each episode and you don't get a break, at all. It's totally a high stress show.
The finale was fine. Everything resolved. I did think the arc they created could have ended one or two episodes before hand, tho. Like it was more a 22 hour crisis they stretched to 24 hours. But that was minor. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad I watched. I'm very worried about Jack, tho. *g*
My show! My baby, my dear dear friend. I love Alias. I love it like candy, like froth on a root beer float, like mint milano cookies. I'm going to miss it, terribly, but I also do not feel sad that it's going away. It felt right, that it's the end. We lost some beloved characters, which is SO SAD, but I'm not devastated. I like this easy, lovely relationship! *hugs Alias close*
The series finale was great. It tied everything up. We lost Jack, and that is near inconsolable, but he went in such a great way. All the way up to the very very end, I didn't think he was actually dead. Even now I wonder if he managed to survive somehow. He's wiley, that Jack. Wishful thinking, most likely, but a girl can dream. My favorite part of the finale was Marshall, though. I was absolutely amazed at the actor's performance - it was wonderful to see how the actor (and Marshall, as a character) rose above his typical humorous self and just gave such a sincere and amazing peformance. Great stuff. I worry that Arvin will one day escape. I loved the eery ending with Isabelle showing she's following in her mother's (or maybe her grandmother's...) footsteps. I'm THRILLED Vaughn and Syd look so happy together. I'm very sad about Nadia because she is, to me, the true tragic figure in this series. All in all, I was vastly pleased. I can't wait to own the whole series on DVD.
Well, I'm lost. *g* First of all, I loved it to bits. I didn't understand it all, but I loved it. I adore Desmond so much, it was almost a visceral reaction. I'm fascinated by him. I am beside myself with both sadness and annoyance that he's in all likelyhood dead. Maybe he's not! But probably he is. *sob*. I squealed when they revealed Clancy Brown. Aiiiii! I love that this show is not just a show about a wacky island with strange things happening, but a show about relationships and pairings, and human failings and disappointments and heartache and love and death, and and and... it's brilliant. I think John Locke is a boob. A dangerous boob. I love Sayid so so so much. He is the only one, I think, at least right now, who has any brains, who is the most level headed of them all. Jack is lead by his emotions too much and he's inconsistent. Sawyer is a mess, deep down. Kate is not yet fully formed, I think, and she's too much a reflection of whichever guy she's with. Locke is a big boobhead. Mr. Eko is a bit too mystical for me, but I love him. Charlie you can't trust, not yet. We lost Ana-Lucia and Libby, which reminded me that you can't trust a JJ Abrams show. *g* His shows love to pull the carpet out from under you! Fun stuff. Still have no idea what really happened in the end, but fun stuff.
I leave tomorrow, late. My flight is at 9:30pm. EEEEEE.
