Grey's Anatomy season finale

First, yes, I'm a guy and I watch Grey's. I also watch CSI and Fringe at the same 8 pm (CST) thursday nite time slot. That and another male co-worker of mine (same age) watches it so other guys watch it as well.

Alright, I did catch up with the 2 hour Grey's Anatomy season finale over the weekend. Interesting ending, but certainly not what I was expecting after watching all the ABC previews (commercials) and hearing comments about the Grey's finale.

First of all, there were only 2 possibilities for shooters anyway (other than a terrorist). The first and most likely was the guy who actually did the shooting. The other possibility (although a long shot dark horse) was Dr. Hunt, largely because of his PTSD history, but he was a medic in the military, not a fighter.

In terms of who was actually killed off the show, it appears Grey's wanted to eliminate a couple of the residents they added during the merger because the cast had gotten too large. Shepard was shot (he was the target of the most likely shooter) but he had too survive. Hunt was shot but he also survived. Alex was shot but he also survived. So of the major cast, no one was killed off. To be honest, I actually expected Chief Weber to be the one who was killed off (he's largely outlived his major role on the show. Also, it would have been a fitting way for Chief Weber to go, and would have been a major character death (George was the one from last season; Izzie left mid-season) as opposed to the two minor character's deaths that actually occurred.

In the end, the major loss was Grey's miscarriage, although she made it less than one show pregnant so they didn't really carry out the pregnancy part.

Anyway, those are my quick rumbling thoughts.

Back to the real world.

"24" & my thoughts

Tonite is the series finale of "24," the hit tv show on Fox. Looking forward to it. Hopefully they have a movie afterwards but who knows and only if it stars Keifer Sutherland (as Jack Bauer of course). Regardless, they better not kill off Jack Bauer. That guy deserves to go live the rest of his life in peace, especially with his granddaughter. They may even bring back his love interest from a couple of seasons ago (since they killed off Renee which makes me think they will kill off Jack as well). Forget her name, but she was the Secretary of Defense's daughter.

Long live Jack!
---------------------------------------------------------

Alright, obviously they set up 24 for a movie. Not surprising the way it ended (Jack on the lamb, likely to leave the country, with Russian assassins likely to chase and maybe the American justice system). Something tells me the next President pardons Jack though. Either way, not surprising that 24 ended the way it did since Fox's (& 24's) decision to renew or end 24 did not come until April of this year. However, it has been speculated for a year this season (the 8th season) would be 24's last, but that a "24" movie would be spun off. Now that Jack has been left on the run (not dead or with Renae or some other love interest), I certainly see a movie in the works .... and am very much looking forward to it. Even enough so that this college football crazed person would venture off on a fall saturday nite to the movie theatre to watch it (my luck would be it would premier then) although I'm certainly the "24" movie comes out in the summer.

Dunk time

Doing something I never thought I would do in the morning. Well, maybe at some point, I thought I might. But things happen. And after three years of debating it, tomorrow morning at around 11:00 I will get dunked under the water. Rather apprehensive about it and unsure of what will follow, but my gut tells me its time and my gut is usually more right than my brain. I just haven't always listened to my gut when making important decisions or most decisions but I'm learning to do so more. Putting my brain at rest a little more often.

In other news, I don't think I use this blog enough. Not that anyone really reads it anymore, but I do like to type out my thoughts on a journal every so often. Helps with the stress I suppose.
