The Hanger...

Tis the season for season finales. There are alot of season and series finales going on this month, and it's kind of sad to see these shows go... I mean, sure i haven't been watching most of the shows for the last couple of years, but it's just nice to think that they're still around. Just kinda there... Like a warm blanket that i don't use anymore, but is nice to know that i could just cuddle up in it if i ever needed to. Of course, both have lost the luster that they carried in the first few seasons, but at the same time, it's the familiarity that brings us together.

As far as season finales go, it's a mixed bag. There are different types of shows that go on hiatus, and different methods of ending a season. Most comedy shows introduce a minor cliffhanger, perhaps a new character on the last show in some kind of situation that leads the viewer to tune in at the beginning of the next season. Drama shows, alot of times will go through some sort of cliffhanger as well, and well, there's no other types of shows...

Of course, you can see that there is a theme emerging here. Cliffhangers, latin for bastards. I mean, what a mean way to get me to watch next season. I guess if i had to guess a way to do it, i would make the show end in a cliffhanger as well, but at least i would know what the hell is going on! Which brings me to the fulcrum of my ranting...

The lost season finale is on tonight, and all i can say is, it's probably gonna piss me off. I mean, i'll watch, and make abc some advertising revenue, but more than likely it's going to end in some kind of crazy cliffhanger where i'll have to wait for 4 months to be able to know what's going on. It's going to be a terrible wait. I'm gonna go so far as to buy the dvd box set just to see if there's some kind of insight in the commentary or the extra features. We'll see i suppose.

In the meantime, i'll just have to bide my time by doing something constructive like coming up with witty things for you people to read. Oh? What's that surprise guest? You're carrying my baby?!? But you're a man~!.... (stay tuned)



Mitch Hedberg's QotD:

This product was available for four easy payments of $19.95. I would like a product that was available for three easy payments and one fucking complicated payment. We can't tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is going to be a bitch. The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination. Good luck, fucker. The last payment must be made in wampum!
