it is the season for a season finale ... and they have been lack luster for the most part.
the shows i have been watching this season are
Bones
Heroes
Lie to me*
How i met your mother
Dollhouse
smallville
supernatrual
there have been other shows but they are the main ones i am going to talk about
WARNING spoilers if you haven't watched the above shows yet
Bones had a good idea by giving Booth a brain tumor (with hints littered through the entire season ending with Booth seeing stewie griffin in an interrogation. but the season finale took place in either booth's head or Bones' fiction (or both). they did use the episode as a way to bring back all the recurring characters in one episode and you get to see Booth and Bones make out (finally) but for the last episode in the season it was wasted. then of course when Booth wakes up and can't remember Bones.... cliffhanger, yes. overused, maybe. lame, YES. i love bones but that episode was a good mid season ender but not a seson finale.
Heroes the first half of the season seemed to contradict it's self and completely render it's self useless and forgotten even by itself. the second half of the season did seem to have a much better idea of where it was going but more importantly it stuck with it's own idea's and didn't erase all the forward momentum it created. the season finale had major changes and a dramatic cliffhanger.
Lie to me* good new show, most of the episodes have been kinda hit or miss, season finale was a miss.. don't get me wrong i liked it and enjoyed the plot, but i was hoping for a better showing for the last ep. the episode before the finale was much better of an episode to go out on.
How i met your mother great funny show that me and my wife just love, but this season has actually just been dragging along, second half more than the first but still it has been slow going and 4 years in we don't know who the mother is even though they were rumored to revel it this season. The finale was good, had some change and more steps in the direction of reveling the mother.
Dollhouse love this show, great show and in only half a season they managed to get through more character development than any other show this season. the finale was good and lived up the the rest of the season.
Smallville i was worried about the season when the show runners from the previous seasons left and were replaced, but i actually enjoyed most of the season, yet the finale left me unimpressed and kinda confused. there was some cliffhanger elements that worked well but most of the episode seemed like filler.
Supernatural loved the season, had it's moments when i was worried about where it was going but in the end I enjoyed it, the twist, the cliffhanger, the use of Carry on my wayward son, in the opening, supernatural finale's never disappoint. I knew ruby would go bad.
i realized as i was writing this that some how i shifted from spoilers-rific reviews to general reviews but to be honest i just watched the bones finale about 2 min before i started this so it was fresh in my mind.

geek o palusa
lots of geeky things today such as a review of wolverine ..... but you will have to wait till the end to read that..... no skipping ahead ... and for those who haven't seen it i will warn you before i start talking about it *caughLauracough*
ok first off geek Christmas... or free comic book day :D its always the first saturday in may, and it is a day where comic book publishers give away... wait for it.... free comics... cool eh:D
most comic book stores use this day to have sales and the such.. all in all, it is great fun.
this year the lines were HUGE (i drove by 3 of the 4 comic book stores in town) bigger than i have ever seen before.
i did make it into the one by my work while on my lunch break... i mostly wanted to go for Blackest night #0 but ended picking up a cool new avengers story and the first issue of Preacher a series i have always wanted to read but just never had the time or the money to get caught up on it.
Blackest night was well worth the price of free, even if just for the black lantern's oath and the profiles on all 8 corps.. though i noticed a printing error.... the profile page for the Sinestro corps in the top left corner where there logo is.... isn't there logo, its the logo for the blue lantern corps but coloured yellow.... way to go boys lol
hmmm i am hungry bagel break......
WARNING AFTER BAGELS WILL BE WOLVERINE STUFF.... mmm bagel *nom nom*
*still eating bagel*
mmm that was good, herb and garlic cream cheese rules... ANYWAY
wolvie!!
k i am gonna start with the flaws and get them over with, flaws as in differences between the movie and the comics, it truth these are not flaws they are differences, the marvel earth (called earth 616) is just a separate universe, comic book fans should be able to understand that right, so everyone calm down.
ok so the 'flaws' wolverine and Sabertooth are not brothers, the character seems to be merged with Dog logan from the wolverine origin story. who was also not wolverine's brother but the rest of the lil beginning part was accurate from the origin.
wade wilson aka deadpool, is not a mutant, but he is given wolverine's healing power by weapon x, he is not how ever given 80000 other mutant powers.
Cyclops does not shoot lasers out of his eyes (stick with me here) he shoots a concussive force, so the scene where he shoots the roof off his school, would not have melting metal and flames, just allot of rubble.
Emma frost, is not Silverfox's sister, and her diamond skin does develop until years latter, her main mutant power is she is a psychic that can almost rival prof X
Gambit's powers are cooler in the comic book, my wife said it looks like the cards he throws electrocutes people instead of exploding like they should. and his accent should of been thicker.
my biggest problem is how wolverine lost his memories... really an adamantium bullet to the brain did it.... lame and boo i say.
all that aside (and i know i missed some, some cause i found them less important, and some cause i forgot) i enjoyed the movie.
its not a perfect wolverine story, he is obviously the wolverine from the movies as apposed to the comics, but it was enjoyable, it had gambit, lots of claw slashing, gambit, some good wolvie and sabie fights, a cool prison full of mutants you have to try and identify to get your geek card (did anyone else see magneto's kid), conformation on wolvie's canadian citizinship, gambit, deadpool (even if the was sparcly used at the begining and was some strange combo man at the end) oh did i mention it had gambit?
anywho i give it a 3.52 stars out of 5 go see it.... it has Gambit!
