Final Finales

This is certainly the week of finales for a lot of good shows. First it was 24, but unfortunately, in the whirlwind of car shopping the last few days and the subsequent laying around afterward, I completely forgot to watch the final episode of Lost tonight, and for that, I could kick myself. So, I'll kindly ask my readers to avoid telling me anything of what happened, until I break down and read about it somewhere online in a few weeks. I'd pretty much figured that this show was one for the DVD library, anyway, so once it's available, I'll catch up on all those episodes I missed.

In a strange twist of fate, I did end up seeing the final moments of American Idol. I hardly ever watch this show; I hate the way they jerk around the early contestants and toy with their emotions. The best I do is know who wins each year. In fact, this season was the first season I'd even seen an entire episode, during mine and Gina's recuperation time at her house during Tour. However, that one stretch was enough to make me wish one of the rocker guys would win, just for a change of pace. Thus, I was rooting for Bo Bice, especially after tonight's send up of "Sweet Home Alabama."

I guess a country girl like Carrie is still a change of pace, though, and doesn't the second place winner usually end up becoming really popular anyway? I wonder if Bo's mugshot and report on TSG had anything to do with him losing tonight?

And so, finale season is done for me. It wasn't really a "season," though, since I only really watch two shows and I forgot that the second one was tonight. Dash it all!
