the end of the season season

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.
