This year’s season finales*, ranked by yours truly


*Of shows that I watch. Sorry, that means no LOST, 24, etc. Should I have included True Blood and Mad Men? It feels like those were a million years ago. There are four categories, ranging from the best to the worst. As usual, totally biassed. SPOILERS. Obviously.

Totally Awesome/Loved It

Totally Awesome/Loved It

  1. Big Love
  2. Ugly Betty
  3. Gossip Girl
  4. Modern Family

Big Love was my favourite finale, it delivered on everything. And they’re out now! Can’t wait for next season.

Ugly Betty. I would have loved a Daniel/Betty kiss, but you’re forgiven, everything was perfect. By the way, I’m holding prayer circles at my house every week for the movie to happen, everyone’s welcome to join.

I know what you’re thinking – Gossip Girl? Yes, this was the worst season ever, a complete disaster. BUT, the finale was perfect, reminiscent of season 1 even. Also, I’m someone who strongly believes in positive reinforcement. I did say I was going to be biassed –  I will love these characters and show no matter what. I mean, hello, Chuck Bass got shot and was left bleeding in the middle of the road a million miles away from home. Jenny is gone! At least for now. And Nate is spending the summer taking advantage of Chuck’s black book. GG earns its spot in RELATIVE terms.

I usually just lump Modern Family in with Community and The Big Bang Theory, but I laughed a million times more during the MF finale. Also, Phil wins for Best TV Dad.

Well Done/High Five!

Well Done/High Five!

  1. United States of Tara
  2. Damages
  3. Californication
  4. The Vampire Diaries
  5. The Big Bang Theory
  6. Community

United States of Tara would have been in the first category, but I’m starting to get tired of the whole “Let’s find out why Tara’s so fucked up” storyline. ALSO, OMG YOUR SISTER WAS JUST LEFT AT THE ALTER. THIS NIGHT ISN’T ABOUT YOU TARA! Seth Gabel’s storyline seems to be over, really sad. I cried myself to sleep that night. Of course he had to be a Republican! Oh and yes, I did take a million screenshots when Marshall and Lionel kissed.

Californication. GOD HANK, can’t you just stay out of trouble for five minutes? So much well-played drama in the finale. HOWEVER, how many times are we going to do Hank and Karen break up, Hank and Karen are soulmates, Hank and Karen try again, Hank screws up, Hank and Karen break up? Either keep them together or move on. Another thing – Karen, if you’re going to hate on Hank (which you have many reasons to), don’t do it for actions that were total misunderstandings, there’s only so much you can blame an idiot. That being said, Hank totally completes me.

Community – I like Jeff and Annie together.

Underwhelming/Okay

Underwhelming/Okay

  1. The Mentalist
  2. The Good Wife

I’ve never been one for procedurals, but I love The Mentalist and expected a little better. Even the perfection that is Simon Baker couldn’t keep me from browsing Tumblr while I watched the finale.

The Good Wife actually was on par with the rest of its season so I guess I can’t be too hard on it. It’s just never been one of my favourites – I can’t understand why everyone has such a TV hard-on for it. I really can’t. The ending was blah to me too, OMG WILL THE GOOD WIFE STAND NEXT TO HER HUSBAND OR DECIDE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH HER PITIFUL YET ATTRACTIVE CO-WORKER?! Edge of my seat for next season.

Terrible/Unnecessary/WHAT

Terrible/Unnecessary/WHAT

  1. Private Practice
  2. Grey’s Anatomy
  3. Brothers & Sisters

I thought the killing characters for no reason to create season finale drama trend was over a couple of seasons ago? I guess not. Poor Dell. First his wife dies and his house burns down. Then he dies, leaving his daughter an orphan… really? George O’Malley 2.0. An amazing season of episodes that I LOVED, all ruined in one finale.

I’ll admit, Grey’s Anatomy shouldn’t be on this list – I never watched the finale. But you know what, I couldn’t make it to the finale. This season was so terrible I had to stop watching. And I am one of the most loyal TV fans ever. Trust me. Shonda Rhimes, you need some new ideas.

Brothers & Sisters. This is the most heartbreaking one for me, B&S used to be my favourite show! Now it can barely get through an episode and apparently even the actors are over it. Rob Lowe decided he wants to move on, obviously the best solution is to kill him off, fine. But in a multi-car crash involving the whole family? And then there’s Saul who randomly has HIV. What? Not to mention, in future episodes, all cast members won’t be available for all episodes because of budget cuts. SO NO MORE WALKER FAMILY DINNERS. Ugh, just cancel it then.

I hate to end on a bitter note. And I just read over everything and feel terrible about calling Hank an idiot. So guys seriously, Hank Moody is the best ever.

My Top 8 Guys (who you probably haven’t heard of)


I had a really lame day… and now night, tomorrow. Whatever. Does blog therapy work? Well if not, some eye candy should do it.

So here’s the criteria: TV actors who don’t get any appreciation. Basically, this is a really random, biased list. Scroll down for notes!

#1 Seth Gabel

Seth Gabel Robert Buckley

#2 Robert Buckley

#3 Vincent Kartheiser

#4 Zachary Booth

#5 Taylor Handley

Notes

  • Seth Gabel: Nip/Tuck, Dirty Sexy Money, and now Fringe! I guess I’ll be catching up on that asap.
  • Robert Buckley: Lipstick Jungle, Privileged, and now One Tree Hill. No matter where he goes, he’ll always be Kirby to me.
  • Vincent Kartheiser: TVwise – Angel, and now Mad Men obviously. You know, it’s always Don Draper this, Don Draper that. WHAT ABOUT PETE CAMPBELL?! Think about that for a second.
  • Zachary Booth: Damages. God, just look at him.
  • Taylor Handley: The O.C., Hidden Palms. OMG GUYS. So Taylor’s been in a few episodes of Southland, opposite Ben McKenzie! The stars are aligning!
  • James Lafferty: One Tree Hill. Sigh. I’m starting to look like a One Tree Hill fangirl… one of the worst scripted shows in history. But NATHAN. Let’s just say I’ve sat through a few whole episodes just for him.
  • Matt Czuchry: Gilmore Girls, The Good Wife. You guys already know how I feel about Logan Huntzberger.
  • Matt Dallas: Kyle XY, Eastwick, Some Briefcase TV Movie With Hilary Duff. Wow, how does she always manage to creep onto NYCW? I guess I should start embracing her or something.

It’s not that bad, we could have died.


OMG GUYS, I REALLY FUCKED UP TODAY. I have 5 exams left. FIVE. And a 30% assignment. Do you know what I did today?

  1. Watched The Celebrity Apprentice.
  2. Caught up on The Vampire Diaries. That was A LOT of episodes… (YES, I’M A FAN NOW. I love it. Don’t judge me.)
  3. Watched Damages.
  4. Watched United States of Tara.
  5. Watched The Amazing Race.

SO much time wasted. And it’s not even today anymore, it’s tomorrow! Why does the next day start at midnight? It doesn’t make any sense. I say it should start at 12 noon. And we should be expected at work/school at 1/2pm. The world would be a better place, I guarantee it.

I also recently decided to ban fast food from my life… I knew this would be hard. I mean, McDonald’s is pretty much my favourite place in the whole world. It went well for a week and a half. Then the other day I broke down and got myself a Big Mac combo… and yesterday – Wendy’s.

It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m back on the wagon now! I think I can do it. If only I had a really hot male sponsor or something… a sponsor anyway. Is there an Eaters Anonymous I can join? No no, I’m not that bad. Except I am. It’s cool. I have this. I can do it.

Since we were talking about The Apprentice. I really love that show. CURTIS. And Sharon! She’s amazing, I hope she finally gets more airtime next week.

Another thing, ONTD recently told me that using a lot of exclamation marks and the term OMG loosely are both stupid indicators. OMG I NEED TO WORK ON THAT!!! Honestly though, I think we need a new word to replace OMG. It just doesn’t have the same effect anymore. What if something really does deserve an OMG? No one will take it seriously! The same can be said for LOL I guess. Now we all have to go around typing “LOL IRL”. These are serious issues. I don’t know why no one ever addresses them.

Next. Oh right, Damages. Leonard and Joe Tobin effectively broke my heart during this episode. You know Lenny, if you need a family, I will be more than willing to provide one. Screw the Tobins! Except for Joe. I will gladly adopt Joe as well. And Tom Shayes.

And just because I have no shame, and because you can’t go a post without some sort of image to help you along…

The Vampire Diaries

GOD DAMN. How amazing are their boots?!

While we’re on the topic of vampires actually, can I just say how much I can’t wait for certain other vampires to be back? Come on already True Blood!

True Blood

Yes, I felt like posting ridiculously large images. Sorry if I crashed your computer or something.

List #53487


Canada <3

  1. I am so proud of Canada and all its gold medals! In support, I wore my Canada Joe Boxers today. Go team!
  2. Don’t you love it when you find someone the perfect birthday present and then they go out and buy the exact same thing for themselves before you get a chance to give it to them?! Ya, me too.
  3. I am so ridiculously and irrationally attracted to Joe Tobin on Damages this season, there’s just something about him. I love how grave he always is. That’s the best word to describe him. Grave. His best moment so far: “Everything you have in life, you have because of my father. Well, he’s gone now. And I can take it all away from you. Do you understand me?” Brilliant.
  4. I had way too many cherry timbits this week.
  5. I cannot motherfucking wait for Wall Street 2/Money Never Sleeps, you guys have no idea.
  6. Why do they need to return midterms so soon after we’ve finished them? Can’t I celebrate my freedom for another minute before you crush all my hopes and dreams and remind me that I’m screwing up my life by procrastinating?
  7. I can’t bring myself to watch Project Runway this season. Sigh, it’s so sad. I miss Santino and Daniel Franco and, and and, that other Daniel kid whose last name I can’t spell.
  8. If you invite me to another Facebook group, event, fanpage, WHATEVER again, that I have absolutely no interest in, nor will I for the rest of my life, I am unfriending you. Period. I mean, what can you say about humanity when the fanpage “I Hate When One String of My Hoodie Becomes Longer Than the Other” has 1,233,684 fans?
  9. Another thing, what exactly is the point of boots that soak right through as soon as you step into a puddle? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
  10. It really would have been nice if I’d had a tenth point to make this all nice and even.
