Miss Amy's Wasted Life v.003

Finally saw it.  LOVED it.  I was engaged in every moment.  I laughed, I cried and gained a whole new respect for The INCREDIBLE Hulk.  Hulk actually stole the show, which is saying a lot because it was a GREAT show.  I am looking forward to all SIX of the projects Mark Ruffalo is signed on for as the Hulk.  SMASH.  

Furthermore, Joss Whedon should write everything.  I’m not exaggerating.  EVERYTHING.  

I apologize for not having anything more critical to say.  Just had to share my excitement.

EXCITEMENT!!!

Best Season Finale:  Once Upon A Time

ABC really knocked me on my ass this season with Once Upon A Time.  I was all set to be a huge fan of NBC’s Grimm, but from the first time I heard Robert Carlisle’s evil little cackle as Rumplestiltskin, I was completely hooked on this gem of a fantasy drama.  This amazing show was the biggest surprise hit of the season for sure!

Lamest Season Finale:  Supernatural

I mean, come on!!  All of that just to trap Dean in Purgatory?!  I thought he was going to get trapped in Purgatory somehow in the end of LAST season. WTF?

Best Ending of a Season Finale:   How I Met Your Mother

Legen—-wait for it—-DARY.  If you are the kind of fan of this show that I am, then you should be super happy that Barney’s bride is none other than his soul-mate, Robin.  I mean, DUH, Bob Saget’s voice never mentions an “Aunt Quinn” whenever he talks about “your Uncle Barney” and “your Aunt Robin.”  Plus, all of the love needs to stay IN-GROUP.  I’m sorry, but I’m a snob when it comes to my HIMYM family.  There’s Ted, whoever Ted falls in love with (who really cares at this point?), Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin!  

Most Charming Season Finale:  New Girl

I love this show.  Everything about it.  I laughed.  I cried.  I fell in love with these “adorkable” characters.  Not to mention, the suspension of disbelief executed in the storyline was superb.  I really thought Nick was going to move in with Caroline and burst into tears of elation when ACDC was blasted on that old boombox and—hell, I’m going to go Hulu that episode again.  Seriously, if you didn’t watch this show this season, you probably hate television.

Most Forgettable Season Finale (that really can’t afford to be forgettable):  Community

I have been a Community fan since its inception.  Hell, I was a Community fan when I read about the concept for the show before the show ever aired.  But they should have ended the season with the 8-bit video game episode.  That shit was groundbreakingly geektacular and everything an important episode of Community should be.  Instead, we get this whole Chang-centric episode followed by this recurring Air Conditioning Repair scenario (which, was funny for maybe one episode because YAY John Goodman was on TV again) garbled with an evil Abed thing and…I don’t even remember what the hell went on.  I just remember that the episode where they were vying for Pierce’s inheritance in an 8-bit video game against Pierce’s African American half-brother was freaking sweet as hell.

Saddest Season (and Series) Finale (I haven’t seen yet because it’s not until next week):  House

I predict House will die.  Why?  Because how the hell else can you end the show?  He’s already been in jail, the nut-house, having sex with Cuddy, almost dying several times…the only thing that would stop this man from practicing medicine would be his own sweet death.  However, we shall see what actually happens next Monday night!

More to come at a later date…

So, because of my best friend Netflix, I caught up on a show most people have never watched and I never thought to watch until Netflix—but has been on for nearly 7 years.  SUPERNATURAL!  The heartfelt tale of two brothers who travel the country in a gorgeous ‘67 Chevy Impala fighting ghosts, demons, angels and pretty much anything and everything your mother told you wasn’t real.  Now, I LOVE supernatural tv shows (because I really prefer that my entertainment be on the less realistic side rather than pulled from the headlines), but for some reason, it just never occurred to me to watch a television show called “SUPERNATURAL.”  I blame the advertising.  Anywho—back to the issue at hand.  After having streamed seasons 1 through 6 of the show, I have come to the conclusion that the show’s true storyline really ended in Season 5.  HOWEVER, I don’t blame the CW for giving the show a couple more seasons because the camaraderie between the show’s two main characters is golden and it probably doesn’t hurt that both of the guys are extremely sexy (except Padalecki in Season 5 when he’s all hulked up and kind of orange for some reason).  That being said, overall Season 6 sucked.  Almost every episode seemed like a publicity stunt of some kind and there was never really a clear storyline for the season, leaving me to believe that the writers were picking their plots out of a hat.  The ONE thing that shined in the entire season was Sam Winchester’s transition from soulless bastard to the sweet, soulful Sammy fans grew to love (and pity) throughout the previous seasons.  That brought the connection between Sam (played by Jared Padalecki) and Dean (played by Jensen Ackles) back to the forefront—WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY MOST OF THE EPISODES IN SEASON 6 WERE CRAP.  They could have done so much more…They got that chemistry back and they blew it on this lame-ass, jumbled up wackadoo weak plotline that is barely built up so you never actually know what the whole point of the season is and—-they just could have done so much more.  Well, less.  Less is more, writers.  Sometimes less is more. 

Now, I’m catching up with the current season (7) and I’m actually kind of liking it.  I’m used to the scattered writing already and just excited to spend more time with “the guys.”  The fact that I’m sticking to it sort of proves that the show should have been watched by more people.  I don’t really see how much farther they can go, though I don’t think they spent enough time just doing the basic paranormal stuff before they went all apocolypsy and whatnot.  

But, don’t take it from me.  See for yourself.  You can stream season 1-6 on Netflix and catch up with season 7 on Hulu Plus or on the CW Friday nights.

Charlie the Tuna doesn’t just sell out his own kind by being the mascot for Starkist Tuna.  Every commercial is Charlie’s way of saying “Eat me” to the general public.  In short:  Charlie the Tuna is kind of a douche.
