season finales [rivers

so last night and this morning I watched the finales for Bones, House and Desperate Housewives. One thing I think it's safe to say outside a cut, are there Emmys for makeup? because I think there was some awesome makeup going on this week. And no, I'm not talking Gabrielle's lipstick.

Let's get Bones out of the way first. WHAT. THE. FUCK. That was quite possibly one of the worst episodes of television I have ever sat through in my life.
Well, of TV that I initially thought I wanted to watch anyway. For that TURD of a script, they FIRED Eric Milligan? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? That was a fucking shitty and stupid thing to do to someone who had asked to leave, but was entirely uncalled for with an actor who didn't. IT MADE NO SENSE. I just... The one tiny scrap of light was Emily and Eric in the forehead touching scene. They were great in that scene. Though the scene itself sucked ass and not in that fun way. I will not be watching again in the fall.

House. Woah. First, Amber's cyanosis was incredibly well done. I am impressed. I loved Cuddy curled up on that chair next to House, House's face when Wilson nodded yes, he did want House to risk his life to save Amber, Wilson finding the note, god that killed me... I really wasn't sure if I'd be watching again next year, but I think I will, after that.

Desperate Housewives. Which it looks like there will be no more of whether I want it or not. I really kind of only have two things to say, 1) does it make me a totally bad person that I loved seeing Nathan all tortured and bloody and saving the day again? That man works that look like nobody's business. 2)WHAT THE FUCK was Susan doing living with ~~Brian Kinney~~ Gale Harold (it was him, wasn't it? it went by so fast) at the end there? Seriously. What was that supposed to be telling us? I loved Gabby's ending, and I totally bought Lynnette's and, of course, Bree's, and what'ser name's, Nathan's wife, but I felt really put off by that replacing Mike thing. It felt like lazy writing somehow. And two hours of Wisteria Lane in one sitting is a lot. This from the girl who has watched whole seasons of tv in one sitting.

I did dig David in the bath though, but that's just because I crush on him.

He said he hoped he would get to come back occasionally but that he wasn't holding his breath. I love Zack. and I think getting rid of him was a fatal mistake.

David has never done anything for me for some reason. So I was just horribly embarrassed by the bath scene. Though I was amusing myself speculating as to whether it was Emily or Tempe trying not to laugh at him.

What now about Eric Milligan? I mean, I know that the character won't be back, obviously, but the actor was fired??? Why? Just as a plot device so they could do THAT?

I'll definitely watch Bones again next season, but like you, I was both distraught by Zach's apparent guilt and also unhappy with the extraordinary abruptness of the reveal. I can only assume (if I'm being really, really charitable) that they intended to seed more clues in episodes that never got written and filmed.

Anyway, I empathize with your reaction to the ep. Man, sweeps has been a hard month on us, huh? Dean's in hell. Zach's a serial killer. And...well, if you don't watch Criminal Minds and you haven't seen the CSI:NY finale yet, I'll say no more...

But ugh.

is CSI NY finale on tonight? cos it's not on my DVR and I'm going to be NOT HAPPY if I missed it. That's one of those shows I can't keep track of when it's on. It just turns up sometimes on my recorder.

and yeah, apparently they phoned him up two months ago while he was at a basket ball game with some friends and asked him to come in and then beat around the bush until he just said, 'oy, out with it' and they showed him the script and said they were letting him go at the end of the season cos they needed a big ending. He was gutted. And that made absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL for his character, they would have had to seed every ep missing cos of the writer's strike, and I'm still not sure I would have bought it. Strike came, they should have just put the Gormagon ending off until next season.

I've been getting increasingly annoyed by the fact that they have taken all of Tempe's brains and all of Booth's brawn and all of Angela's charm and just, I don't even know what. Disappeared them somewhere. So this was the final straw for me. That and the magical reappearance of Booth with no more than a band-aid. No more.

I have now seen CSI NY. really? they're leaving it there??? that is just MEAN.

Which it looks like there will be no more of whether I want it or not.

Miss Michelle is not stalking you much. But whatchoo talkin' about, woman?

The anonymous thing made my type "oratory 111".

o.0

Hey, you! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!

HEY! Nothing dramatic happened, I just got sick of it. LMFAO. I needed a break. If the Supernatural fandom has pissed ME off, you know it's on a downhill slide. I'll probably come back. Maybe. Possibly. I think.

For christ's sake, I might join bandom. Don't eye me like that. *grins*

HI!

You BETTER come back. And you should TOTALLY join bandom, woman. It's awesome. And far less drama-filled. At least as far as I can tell.

Hi! *smish*

But my bandom is 30 seconds to mars, and the one I slash LEFT THE BAND. WHAT CAN I DO NOW?? *cracks up* I don't do Letocest, cuz ew. And I'm mad at Brendon's HAIR right now. Is it better? LOL.

I'll come back as soon as everyone calms down - I was finally learning to not wank, and BOOM! CRAZYCAKES EVERYONE! *hugs you*

Yeah, I have issues with Brendon's hair, too. It's better right now than it was a few months ago, though.

Okay. Well, I miss you. Come back soon. *hugs tight*

I miss you too! (And this chick here I'm very much not stalking at all.) Talk to you soon, honey. *smooshes your face*

did you see the finale? I kinda feel like the 'five years later' thing they did at the end meant no more of this.

*squeezes you*

Hi, babycakes! Nope, it's not the end. I don't get why the hell they did that jumping in time B.S. (and I bet next season they ignore it completely.)

All I know is I LOVE MIKE! I don't want him gone! *kisses*

well what the fuck then? that was a hell of a stupid ending if there is going to be another season. Which isn't to say I don't want another season, because I am strangely addicted to that damn show, but that was a show ender, not a season ender.

and yes, please, let's keep Mike. He and Susan make a good couple.

Fucked if I know, baby. I saw that "5 Years Later" crap, and went, waaaaaaaaaiiiiit.... are they...

But then I googled, relaxed, and wondered what the point of that was - other than to confuse us. And if it's 5 years into the future, WHERE was the satanic daughter, who'd have been an evil teen, and therefore THE PERFECT AGE for fuckery? (I mean fuckery as in evil doing, not... other things)

Was that Gale Harold? I know NOTHING about him at all, sadly.

You haven't watched Queer as Folk? I have much love for it.

stupid wrong button

and you. I am so glad you are ~~loving~~ stalking me.

*glomps*

I AM SO BITTER ABOUT BONES. Like, irrationally so.

First of all, even if I didn't like Zack, I'd've been unhappy with that resolution of the story line.

Secondly, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?

I am TOTALLY infuriated. I can accept things I don't like if it is in service to story arc or whatever. But that was just lazy, awful, stupid writing. and that's what pisses me off.

It was! And to do it just because they "needed a big ending?" That's such bullshit. What a horrible thing to do to an actor who's been working for them for three years, and a shitty thing to do to the audience.

I love Brian Kinney, but Susan and Make belong together:(

*smish*

Yeah. I just didn't get that at all.

*smishes you*

how you doin' baby?

Make? LMAO I clearly can't spell.

I'm alright, I guess. Damn hormonal, though. I feel like everything is worse than it is right now. *clings*

me too! I burst into tears earlier because I couldn't get my kitchen drawer to open cos the grater was stuck. proper crying tears. stupid bloody hormones.

Aww, baby! Fucking Christ. I've been figuratively losing my shit ALL day. It's ridiculous. Let's snuggle together. *muah*

*snuggles all up with you*

♥

*hugs you* I know! The only one of these shows that I watch is Bones, and I'm just devastated! If it makes you feel any better, you're so not alone. I posted about it on Monday night (http://lila-blue-b.livejournal.com/68071.html), and people are bitching about it over on Hey!Nielsen too. I think their ratings will take a major nose-dive in the fall. Perhaps they'll get a clue from the boards all over the internet which must be going asplodey right now (though I haven't checked them) with lots of disgruntlement and "I'm not watching this anymore; that was full of shit!" and maybe they'll fix it first thing in the season premiere... Perhaps the whole episode was some crack-pot dream... That would be dumb, but at least then we could all forget it happened and go back to reasonably good show.

I would love it if they tried to forget it. Because it was insanely stupid. I kept thinking it was going to be a dream. instead, it was an increasingly bizarre nightmare.

*nods* I totally agree...

Ugh, House killed me! Espeically when Wilson found the note at the end. Crimmeny what a finale.

that was an incredible finale. And an example, I thought, of really GOOD writing. Heartbreaking in the extreme though.

I loved the House finale. ::cried a lot::

As for Desperate Housewives - I thought the "Five Years Later" thing was absolutely hilarious and NOT intended to be taken "for real." I took it as a little fun "what-if," like a character's fantasy, or dream, or such. And to be sure, I then checked and found out it's slated to come back next season.

I *LOVED* seeing Susan with Brian Kinney, just because it was COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED and UTTERLY HILARIOUS. Still makes me giggle.

(My dad sputtered "but-but-but HE'S QUEER!" then said Teri Hatcher was a big tramp. Hahahaha.)

I'm glad Desperate HWs will be back. I had no clue, because I don't really pay attention to these things, but I like the ending much better if it was just a kind of what if thing. I can see Mary-Alice imagining those fates for her friends.

HAHAHA at your dad *g* Awesome.

See, I totally loved the Bones finale, because it's BONES, and I can't dislike anything they do, no matter how weird or off it is. And yeah, the entire fucking Zack is Gormagon's apprentice! thing was. Insane. I'm still kinda blinking at that. (Didn't know the backstory re: Eric, though. Must peruse online forums.) But I've never really though Bones was a genius show to begin with, so I tend to give it a whole huge bunch of slack. Obviously. :)

i'm a huge fan of the books. And the first season had scientists and FBI agents and artists. This season has been the Bones and Booth go to therapy show. Which isn't so much why I'm watching. I'd be better if I hadn't liked it so much at first.

House killed me. I just wanted to give everyone a big hug at the end. Thirteen getting her test results and Wilson finding Amber's note had me tearing up completely. At least the ducklings got to have drinks together.

It was so good!

and yay, to your icon!

that note. god. just perfectly played, I thought.

I loved Nathan rocking the "War Stories" look once again. He was channeling Mal like crazy that whole episode.

Damn, I need a captain tightpants icon.

he was TOTALLY channeling Mal, to the point that i was having some cognitive dissonance there for a bit. I kept expecting him to say, "Personally, I like wrath."

Everyone needs a captain tightpants icon. I don't have one either. *needs to fix that*

The House finale upset the fuck out of me. If you want to, please read "Impunity", my fic reaction to it.
