I have a serious bone to pick with ABC. They tease you tempt you, get you invested in a show, and then they f— you over and pull the rug out from under you. I’m sure that all of you have seen the season finales of every show out there. If you haven’t, then this post may not be for you.
Grey’s Anatomy ate my soul. There. I said it. I haven’t been this sick and outraged since Spike tried to rape Buffy or since Sonny left Brenda at the altar. Did I land in some alternate universe? You break up Meredith and Derek *again* AND you break up Christina and Burke? What kind of crap is that? Before anyone says anything or rolls their eyes, I *know* it’s a t.v. show; I’m not that delusional. Television sometimes mirrors real life and you can identify with the people on these shows because they deal with issues you can relate to. Christina and Meredith are dark and twisty, like a lot of us out there. They were supposed to be my light at the end of the tunnel. I hate you, Shonda Rhimes (the executive producer and head writer) because you turned that light into a train and me into Wile E. Coyote. Augh!
WTF happened to Edie on Desperate Housewives? They had better not pull a Peyton’s Place and she better live. Every neighborhood needs a resident slut. Not surprised about “Bree’s” baby or that Gabby’s new husband is a butthole, but I was happy to see that Susan and Mike got married.
On a happier note, my record for picking the correct Bachelorette is still intact. I may not like the girl he picks, but I’m dead on every time. I loved Tessa and I knew that she was gonna win. And, in my defense, I, like most people that watch the Bachelor, watch to see the girls have meltdowns and catfights. It’s the best part. I’m a sucker for romance but, as some of my blog posts will show, I love a good, rowdy brawl. By the by, the latest Bachelor Lieutenant Andy Baldwin is just that, a Baldwin. He is smoking hot. He’s like a Ken doll in a Navy Uniform. Google him. You’ll see why I’m overheating.
Last, but certainly not least, is Lost. Lost came back with a vengeance. I muddled through the entire season because the last two episodes made it worthwhile. The season finale was awesome, Jack’s fugly beard aside. There was action, adventure, suspense, romance, it had it all. I knew that they somehow got off the island when Jack mentioned his dad. I loved how Jack beat the crap out of Ben, how Charlie went out like a trooper and how Hurley saved the day. There are only three seasons left with sixteen episodes apiece. I wanna know what the temple is. I wanna know what’s up with the statue with the freaky claw toes. I wanna know who the f— Jacob is. What will I ever do when it’s over?
Rewatch the whole thing on DVD, of course.
