TV Wrap up

Well, the tv season is wrapping up and I’m glad. Like bowling season, sometimes it just goes on too damn long. On Monday, 24 and Alias wrapped up with 2 hour finale’s. If you haven't seen either yet and are planning to, skip to the bottom.

On 24, Jack saved the day as usual but was then kidnapped by the Chinese and the last we saw he was bloody and beaten in the cargo hold of a ship headed for China. President Logan was arrested and will be impeached. My guess is the guys pulling the strings behind the scenes will have him assassinated long before he can rat them out. Next season starts in January.

On Alias, the series came to an end with everything wrapping up a nice, neat little package. Sloan found the end result he was looking for with the Rimbaldi artifacts and got immortality. Sydney caught him but Sloan shot Jack and Sydney shot Sloan. Syd and Vaughn had to leave to stop Sydney’s mom from launching missiles at Washington and London (she did and her mom ended up dying). Sloan came back from the dead down in the tomb where he had found the last artifact. Jack managed to find his way back down and since he was probably dying from his gunshot wounds anyway, loaded himself up with explosives. He knew what Sloan was up to and realized the only real way to stop him was to bury him. So, he detonated the explosives in the tomb some 200 feet underground burying them both. Sloan was last seen pinned but alive where he will spend eternity. We see Syd and Vaughn retired and living on a beach with they’re now two kids and a third on the way. Dixon is running some organization and comes to see them looking for help. That’s how it ends. I really doubt that two people with that type of personality can just retire and do nothing, but that’s how they left it.

Soprano’s only has 1 episode left (June 4th) for this season and then there will be a break and they’ll come back with the final 8 episode season later this summer I think.

Deadwood is set to start in June and this will be its final season unless something dramatic happens to change that. The actors have already been released so it doesn’t look good for a 4th season.

Now I can finally start to watch those dvd’s from Netflix that have been sitting on the shelf since January. They gotta love me, pay them $18/month and not watch any movies…. I just got Saw 2 though, really want to see that soon.

Today is golf league day so of course, just like last week, we have the threat of t-storms. Figures…. At least Saturday is looking great for our Whistling Straits trip. 73 and partly cloudy, no chance of rain. Gonna be great!

Mowed the lawn again last night. I swear it grew an inch yesterday. I need to buy some goats…

If I have a NEtflix movie for over 3 weeks I send it back knowing I'll get it again sooner or later.

I really should look into NetFlix. I'm already gettin' bored with no TV. I've run out of free stuff to do already...

Definitely. If you're close to a hub (there are tons of them) you can get 2 day turnaround and never leave the couch...
Just watched Grizzly Man and Saw 2, 2 more on their way.
