Wow it's been several months since my last entry. I've been pretty busy with work but now I have some extended free time, I thought I would write a bit.
I haven't been watching a lot of TV lately but I did get to watch a few pretty good season finales. First one I would like to write about is Supernatural. Supernatural (for me) has got to be one of the best new series this season, with excellent character development and interesting stories.

I really like Meg as an antagonist to the Winchester brothers and was a little sad to see her die. The ending was spectacular with the Winchesters' seemingly killed but I really hope that Dean, Sam and John survive the crash. Can't wait to see what happens next season.
Next up is another new show this season, Prison Break. I was glad that the gang got out of Fox River ok but was a little dissapointed when I saw that Dr. Tancredi was DOA as I was hoping for her to meet up with Michael at a later date. Abruzzi chopping off T-Bag's hand was a highlight for me as was Veronica comfronting the Vice President's brother.

The Vice President murdering the President was a surprise for me, I was expecting the Company to execute her due to the montage at the beginning (sneaky producers). To be honest, I was a little dissapointed with the finale but my expectations were very high due to the show's amazingly consistent quality this season. The fact that Sara Tancredi died may have clouded my judgement though. Good finale, excellent series.
Smallville's finale, imho, was very disappointing. I am not a fan of the direction the show has headed this season, from Chloe becoming a deus ex machina (who exactly is the hero of the show?), Clark relegated to a moron (he is meant to have a brain equivalent to a supercomputer), the way Clark and Lana's relationship ended and anything to do with Lex and Lana's relationship.

The finale just seemed weak compared to other seasons. Jor El giving Clark the means to kill the vessel but doesn't warn him that the dagger is linked to the FOS and thus can free Zod. The whole Lois and Martha on the plane side story was boring for me. The only redeeming instant was they set up for Chloe to be killed but I have a feeling the writers wont kill off their Mary Sue character as she has become a crutch for them (maybe they are confusing their journalism student Chloe with Chloe the CTU tech specialist from 24).
Anyway, enough of my ranting for now, I'll probably add an entry for Veronica Mars and Lost (after it airs) later. In the meantime I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Cheers

Prison Break has been an awesome new show this season and you should check it out if they release it on DVD, I promise you you wont be disappointed.
I love Supernatural too, it's probably my favourite show after Battlestar Galactica and I am so glad I watched it from the pilot onwards. I also love the subtle humor between the brothers. I am really anticipating its return next season.
It seems like we're starting to get lots of high quality shows lately and this season was almost as good as last (Lost, BSG, etc). With any luck, the new batch of pilots will contain some gems too.

I never got into prison break, but I am starting to wish I had from the number of good reports I have heard. I used to watch smallville. Tried to get back into it this season, but alas... no.
Love, love, LOVE supernatural. I heard it got renewed for a second season, so YAY!
Seeya!
