Season Finales

I have noticed that this years season finales of my favorite shows has had a particularly good run this year. So I just wanted to take some time to discuss them. Surprisingly most of them are all first timers in their finales, but left me at the edge of my seat. And the rest are my old favorites.


WARNING BEYOND THESE WORDS THERE BE SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN NON CARING.


Revenge- This was my surprise love of this year. I remember EW's special ad in the magazine and thought that it was a tired concept. Rich people and backstabbing and plotting. Boy was I wrong. I could easily rate this season finale along with The Vampire Diaries'. And I am so glad that it's coming back for another season. They ended it perfectly, I was wondering how this show would maintain longevity, but they sure managed it. With the explosion and Emily wanting to find out more about her mother and suicide attempts. It's all so soapy and delicious.

Supernatural- Whew, my time old fave has had two really up and down seasons. I almost find myself wishing it had ended when the Kriptkeeper left. But then we would have missed out on some really good gems that these last two seasons gave us. The one thing about the show that really bugs me is Cas. I do not like this new crazy, tree hugger Cas. And I'm really hoping now that he and Dean are in Purgatory he's back to normal. I liked Evil Cas more than this.
Anyways, not much to say about the finale, Bobby truly crosses over, or at least I think he does. I really don't see this show killing off a character that has been around as long as the boys themselves. Sam and Dean manage to kill Dick. The whole human factory-Solyent Green thing just wasn't floating my boat. IDK, I don't think we're THAT oblivious. Anyways killing Dick opened a worm hole or something and sent Dean and Cas to Purgatory. Then Crowley-I wish they could decide what to do with him sometime-laughs at Sam and says he's all alone now, and he has the profit. I don't really care about this profit either. GIVE US CHUCK BACK! If we're talking about profits. But, like a good fan girl, I'll follow this show to the grave, just because, it was once awesome.

The Vampire Diaries- Elena's a vamprie now. Done. Awesome.
Oh and Alaric's dead. Waaaaaaaaah!

Bones- Another show that seems to be suffering from age. And what bothers me the most is that it had something super awesome with this season. And they just let it drop! Total frustration! Pelant is the most interesting thing since Gormegon, before they had to rush the season finale.
Pelant plants evidence implicating Bones in a murder. So keep herself off the books and out of the system, her runs with Christine leaving Booth behind looking like the saddest puppy dog, since Supernatural season 2 when Dean was crying over Sam the first time he died. Pelant also messes with something in Booth and Bones' house. Very curious. And looking forward to how they resolve this.

Once Upon a Time- Out of all the season finales I saw in these last weeks, this would be my least favorite. I'm not saying I didn't like it, I did. But it followed the most predictable formula. It ends with everyone remembering, and Rumpelstiltskin releasing magic.

Grimm-  This was another surprising finale that I loved. I am dying to know what happened to Juliet. I thought they were going to kill her off when she refused the proposal, but this is much better. Can't wait to see what happens with that. I also love Nick's freaky awesome fighting skills. And I also want to know what the heck the Captain is. He hasn't shown himself yet, just waiting for the moment when he does. I'm thinking he might be a Reaper? Anyways, also looking forward to seeing where this show goes. And I must give it props for not only surviving Friday death night, but succeeding. And maybe I just might have to go up and be an extra sometime. LOL

So, there you have it. The best finales I have seen this season. And I am now eagerly waiting for next fall! But first take the time to enjoy SYTYCD and Master Chef.

I have made a revelation.

For the past six years or so I have been at odds with myself. It all started with a simple trip to Goodwill during my Sophomore year of High School. Sitting in the toy bin was one Jurassic Park toy. It wasn't even a particularly good one. It was a Re-Ak-Attack Dilophosaur. It was the line Hasboro bought from Kenner, and all us JPToys fans agree, that Kenner had the far superior line of JP toys. But ever since then, I have been a collector of collectible toys for children. All the while a little part of my brain chastising me in the background.
"You're too old of this."
"It's time to grow up.'
"Act your age."
And so on. And I wanted to! Believe me. I want to act like other people my age. I don't want to care about this stuff. Or stuff my brain with random useless knowledge about the JP line. Like a foreign toy company Dakin was the original toy company for the movies. But they passed. I have the few toys that they did put out.
See? Useless.
And for awhile there I thought I was getting better. My scoping of Ebay started to wain, and it helped that Goodwill finds were getting few and far between. I think the last time I found something JP related was when I was still in Chemeketa.
I thought, "Yay! I'm getting older, and now more mature!"
ERRRR! Wrong!
I have found a new obsession.
Those would be The Monster High dolls. I know! Me? Collecting dolls?! Oh and not just that, I "play" with them too. Well, mostly I just brush their hair. But there is something soothing about it. LOL
And right now I have a pretty impressive collection. My favorite doll I have at the moment is Abbey Bominable. Just because her personality is so funny.
Anyway, this brings me to another point, why wasn't stuff like this popular when it was age appropriate for me? I was tortured beyond measure for loving dinosaurs, and the Dark Side of stories. If you get my drift. And now, there are tshirts with dinosaurs on them meant for little girls! I sigh at the unfairness of it all.
But I guess this is just something that I need to finally come to grips with. I will never be my age. The closest I got to acting my age is taking down all my SN posters off my bedroom walls. And I kinda liked it. My room looks bigger now.

So, "Hi, my name is Lydia Atsma and I love children's toys, and I love collecting them." There. I said it.
Actually, I'm not the oldest collector I know, go on Youtube, mothers, yes mothers, will buy two dolls, one for their kids and one for themselves. LOL So I'm not totally alone. LOL
And I've also figured something else out. Toys are more adults anyway. There's no way I would give a six year old a MIB Lost World Thrasher. Well not because the toy is now about 13 years old, but because all those pieces they would lose! No, toys are really for adults. I just talk about it more than most do. LOL
