Season Finales

Let's talk about season finales. I've seen several of them now so if you haven't and if you're waiting for the chance to watch them on DVR, dont read this.

Grey's ending tugged at my heart. I love George and Callie and think Izzie is a flighty slut - pretty, but flighty. It was powerful to see Christina break as we never thought we would and to see the amazing love between two friends as Meredith held her. I like Meredith and Derek and I wish they would get their individual issues worked out and get happy. But then where would the show be? Meredith happy would take away half of the storylines.

ER shocked me. I knew Ray was in bad shape after he got mowed down, but when they showed those nubs - YIKES!!!!! Totally shocked. But I must ask, Is there a hospital in the country that is that brightb white??? Stanley Tucci is a great strange-annoying-boss type. time will tell who he starts trying to hook up with in the lounge. I get a little annoyed when TV shows paint a very one-sided view of the war in Iraq. We hear the "bad" stories about things that happen there, but we do not know everything our military does so what seems wrong to the uninformed eye, may be what has to happen for things to end. Since this blog is about finales and not the Middle East, the end of the show left us wondering, "How trampled was Neela?"

Next week is, of course, the American Idol finale. I was not surprised to see Melinda Doolittle go home this week. She was, by far, the most talented, and will probably do better than anyone else. But Jordin and Blake hit the show's demographic better. My bet's on Jordin. She is young, freaking beautiful, but not emaciated and ha a great voice. Blake doesn't have a great singing voice, but does have a lot of musical talent. Soon he'll be on the shelves at Walmart, right next to hottie Chris Daughtry. This season seemed unique in that the contestants were very close. I like to think that's been because so many of them have been open about their faith in God and their Chrsitianity.

And House will be the week after that. I was talking to my mom about this the other day. I love the show. He's a total jerk, but in a fun and sarcastic way. Not terrible attractive, and yet, kinda sexy. The kids (Cameron, Chase and Foreman) are getting a little too whiny and big for thier britches if you ask me. And the health issues they are facing are so WAAAAAAY out there that even when they figure it out, you're still left thinking, "Huh?" which takes some of the fun of the show. I mean, if you don't know much more than high school biology, much of what you see there just seems like science fiction. But like I said, he's kind of sexy.
