Criminal Minds finale

So how about that season finale? I have to admit, I liked it. The description of the episode didn’t sound overly interesting. But it held my interest. I’d read that someone was going to get “severely injured” - understatement, hello it was an explosion - and I wondered how they were going to work it so viewers wouldn’t know who until next season. The writers did a good job. I have to say though that the only person I will be okay with being in the SUV is Rossi. I don’t like him. I didn’t like Gideon, but I like Rossi even less. Of course if the person survives it can be any one of the team. I’d be okay with that. As long as they stayed on the team.

Blogs all over the internet will be speculating all summer. Just what CBS wanted I’m sure. I just hope that the season premier doesn’t disappoint.

Until next time…

Season Finale clean up

Season finale season has started. On time instead of late like I was hoping, to make up for the writer’s strike. Oh, well. Nothing anyone can do about that. In true season finale fashion, shows are cleaning house. If you haven’t seen the final episode of NCIS and don’t want anything spoiled, stop reading now.

Most of the time I really do wish they would come up with a better device for the BIG episode and actually not get rid of characters. This time I’m so happy with the NCIS writers. I was angry when they killed off Kate. It took me a while to warm to Ziva. I never could warm to Jenny. Maybe I’m heartless but I’m glad she’s gone. They needed a new director. I didn’t like it when they brought her in anyway. The only sad part was how Abby took the news.

I had an issue with the new director breaking up the team. Can we say CSI? Of course Gil’s team being split up didn’t last and this one won’t either. If I hadn’t seen it done before it might have been a strong ending. Up until that point it was a good episode.

I guess now that the season finales are happening I’ll have to stick to movies and books until the new season starts.

Until next time…

New shows are here

Finally new shows are beginning to air now that the writer’s strike is over. I can’t wait to see new episodes of all my favourites (Supernatural especially). Of course, I did stop watching some shows and won’t pick them up again now that new episodes are running. I started watching some of the filler shows they aired and actually liked a few of them. I’m really enjoying New Amsterdam. I like the fact he has a sense of humour and doesn’t brood about being immortal like a certain vampire (Moonlight) does.

Of course I can’t let all this TV watching interfere with my writing. I’ve got tons of work to get done and not a lot of time to do it. But for now, I’m off to watch some of my shows.

Until next time…

Supernatural starts tomorrow!

It took forever getting here. But Supernatural finally starts tomorrow I’ve watched Season 2 at least three times. And some episodes even more than that. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Season 3. I’m a little skeptical about the new cast members. As long as the new girls in the show aren’t in every episode I guess I can deal. Someone on a Supernatural board said it best. The back seat of the Impala better stay empty.

I’m a little bummed that my Supernatural scripts didn’t final in the contest I entered. But I sent them before I had Final Draft so the formatting was wrong. And I’m sure I could have fixed other things too. Now that the new season is starting I’m sure I’ll be inspired all over again to write more episodes. Once I finish the other three I already have simmering on the back burners. I wonder how big my idea stove actually is.

Until next time…

The Tudors

Finally, after much waiting, The Tudors starts today! At least here it does. I know it’s already been on in the U.S. Considering it’s a CBC co-production it made no sense to me that it wouldn’t air in Canada first. I guess they wanted to test the waters. And maybe they didn’t want to start it here at the end of the season. Whatever their reasons, we had to wait. When I was visiting Christine in May I saw a couple of episodes. Loved it! I couldn’t wait for it to air here so I could watch the ones I missed. And now my DVR is all set to record so I won’t miss one scrumptious, sexy, historical moment.

Until next time…

Supernatural is coming back!

So, great news for me just before I head off to Phoenix. Most of my shows escaped the grim reaper of TV land. The only one that didn’t was Crossing Jordan. The best news of course is that Supernatural is coming back for Season 3. Best news because 1) I really like the show and don’t miss it for anything and 2) How can I eventually sell a Supernatural script if the show isn’t on the air anymore? And I have four ideas so far, two of them written. With the way I get ideas I know more will be coming.

I might post from Phoenix if I can force myself away from the pool

Happy blogging!
