Summer Static
Summer TV is wrapping up, which means that everyone is supposed to go back to their regularly scheduled programming.
And I am more or less ok with that. I haven't had the best of summers and, when it wasn't bad, it was just business as usual for me anyway (hello retail).I just wish that the heat and the severe lack of rain (I'm in an 'extreme drought' region) would be on their way out too.
"Falling Skies" wrapped Sunday, with a fairly major cliff hanger and a (SPOILER-lite) not-unexpected kiss. In general terms only, since I'm not going to put this behind a cut, I'm actually pretty pleased with how they wrapped it up. It opens up all these possibilities for next season - and I'm really excited that there will be a next season - while staying true to canon and character. I don't think there is an easy answer to what will happen either - not true death, in my opinion, but everything else is on the table.
And then "White Collar" and "Covert Affairs" have their mid-season finales tonight. I'm more invested in "White Collar" at the moment, for all it's Nazi treasure issues, but I'll keep tuning into "Covert Affairs" for Auggie/Annie. (That's the problem with shipping a couple right away with a series: mainly watch for that ship's progress.) Especially since it seems likely that Annie will out herself as a CIA operative to her sister in tonight's episode - though I wouldn't be surprised if they ended the episode right before the actual confession can be made - and that's the other big draw for me with the show.
The show I'm most surprised with - and which I almost stopped watching after the first episode - is "Necessary Roughness." Granted, this is because I'm now pretty invested in the Dani/Nico pairing, but, as someone who used to be an avid "House" fan, it's pretty good in it's own frothy, pop psychology way. And, come to thing of it, I don't actually know how many episodes I have left of this one. Hm.
I'm not sure I had a point here other than: hey, I watch TV, and, hey, I clearly have a thing for the USA Network. But here you go.
