And in other tv news I know I'm like 2 1/2 years behind on this one but I really enjoyed lost but the finale left me feeling all empty and kind of ripped off...

Also really digging boardwalk empire! I'm almost caught up and was super excited that s3 has just started :)

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only person that loved the Lost finale.  I really liked how they did that whole last season.  The worst thing they could have done with that finale is end it with another massive question or left it open ended.  That would have been way too cliche and expected.  I realize they kind of wrote themselves into a corner, but I think they pulled it off with style.  Fantastic show.

Oh definitely a great show, I just feel like nothing was resolved at all!
Oh hi

I think if too many things were directly resolved as well it also would've ruined the general motif the show had been going for in the last few years.  Resolution for a lot of things can be found buried in the minute details, analyzed to death in wikis and blogs and wotnot.  I'm pretty sure the creators wanted to give the viewer the same general feeling that the characters themselves were feeling--stuck in a world they don't understand, taking actions with only the smallest amount of rationalization behind them possible in order to keep the world together. 

At least it wasn't the Battlestar Galactica finale, which took a whole other series to begin to explain.  I'm still pissed that people didn't watch Caprica.  It was awesome.

I felt the same way, there's such a thing as too much mystery.  I do realise that they backed themselves into a corner and it could have gotten a lot worse, but it also could have been a little better and actually satisfied some of the bigger questions that now just seem like so much unexplained fodder.

In other news, holy shit Sons of Anarchy!

Is it worth watching though?  I got really quite fed up of Series 2 of Finding Sophie because nothing happens for such a long time, the zombies are a complete afterthought while they concentrate on cliché human drama and some things completely made no sense to me, like pulling the zombie out of the well only to realise that they couldn't use the water anyway - what so nobody figured out that it would be bad without removing the zombie?  I realise this is one really minor example, but this kind of filler really grates on me.  Oh yeah, not to mention the best character gets next to no screen time.

Anyone watching Sons?  This series is already off with a massive bang, love it!

naut

I really liked the Lost finale.

I think Dexter is going to be mostly filler this season. I wish they'd not killed off the creepy maze guy.

I haven't watched this week's walking dead but I have very high hopes after the premier...already way better than last season

I 'm really enjoying dexter! Maybe I just haven't gotten over the excitement of Deb knowing yet :lol:
Oh hi
