Intermission - Season Finales

[kriadydragon]

Best season finales ever! Do not look under the cut if you don't want to be spoiled. Keep in mind the shows mentioned are the shows I watch, not every show that's on.

CSI:NY - Danny whump, Danny whump, major Danny whump! Aw, man, that was awesome. Poor woobies Danny and Adam, Danny with a broken hand and possible broken ribs. I just wanted to hug him so! Although I wasn't too thrilled about the show's start (Danny sleeping with Lindsey. They're a cute couple but I hate sex-scenes and I'm not a big-Lindsey fan or DL shipper, so ugh!) But the rest of the episode was pure action/wumpy poetry that sent my heart a-flutter. I love CSI:NY, they make me so happy.

Supernatural - Kick-butt action all the way. Dean selling his soul to save Sam and their dad coming back to save them. Beautiful, just beautiful. My sister and I were on the edge of our seats the whole time.

Stargate:Atlantis - Okay, I'm a spoiler junky so knew what was going to happen, but it didn't lessen the impact of the episode for me. Nothing compares to actually seeing the episode, and that one was fuuuuuuun. Working with the wraith, betrayal, space battles... I'm just glad I know what happens next season or that cliff-hanger ending would be killing me. I know there's been some negativity toward season three, but I'm still looking forward to it, along with the spoilers for season four.

Now all that's left is Numbers, Heroes and Lost, and I'm already betting on stellar season finales (although Lost is questionable depending on whether or not Charlie lives. Charlie!) Will Hiro be able to kill Syler, or will Syler kill Ando? Will Claire have to shoot Peter? Will Peter's brother give into the dark side? Both shows have been building up awesomely, even after that stupid hiatus that almost lost the shows.

And I honest to goodness hope the networks learned their lesson about putting a show on a several-month hiatus. That was the dumbest thing they had ever done, especially since not all networks did this. Putting a show on hiatus gives people a chance to get into other shows, thus losing half the audience. Plus when the shows came back they were so barely advertised it wasn't even realized by many that the show had returned (Jericho is a prime example of this.)

I look forward to next season (even Prison Break which kind of lost me in season two). Although I don't look forward to any new shows that might be coming out. I'm not as into TV as I used to be and I don't want to get involved in any more shows (thank goodness we don't have cable.) But the shows I do watch I can't wait for their return.

supernatural left me speechless

now if atlantis could be nearly half as good as that

wow

Hey, be nice to SGA. The way I figure it, Atlantis probably won't have the level of whump as SPN since Atlantis is more a family show and SPN is more for teens and up. So they can't have the kind of angst and whumping that they do for SPN.

Although, granted, when Sheppard gets punched he could at least end up with a bruise. The writers also need to stop playing favorites and let Sheppard have a few more Shep-centered eps. I felt they kind of did that with Andromeda, too, especially during the last season, making the episodes more Becka and Doyle heavy, with less Harper.

Becka's back story sucked! We needed more Harper back story.

Okay, I need to stop ranting now. The topic has completely bounced off the track.

hehe well i am kind of sga bitter as soon as i think i am over it someone over at gw says something that annoys me again.. i am anti season 4 so sadly there is no new Atlantis for me anymore... its why i love your fics so much! its Atlantis done right.

I hope you keep writing them! * begs *

but i won't rant on lol

harper did have the best back story
apparently we were suppose to get loads of it in 'all my sins be remembered' but circumstances changed and things were all re arranged,, he was suppose to get beat up in that too...broken arm and tortured! robbed i say robbed! did you notice the bruise on his head and stuff,.. that was suppose to be from when beka first met harper and she saved him from a gang of thugs

gahhhhhh missed opportunities everywhere!

I’m glad there is supernatural otherwise I’d be showless

sorry i derailed this... back to business
dean rocks!

I wouldn't discount SGA yet as I've been hearing some pretty good things (there's talk that Carson might make a reappearance, but that may be just rumor so don't quote me on it). Shep whump, possible back-story for Shep... maybe you should give season four a chance and if it sucks then snub season five. It's sort of like with me and Lost (don't know if you have ever watched it) Season two and the first half of season three were terrible to the point that I almost stopped watching it. Then came the second half of season three and suddenly I'm reooked to every single episode. That's why you should never give up on a show even when it has a down season, because they do have a way of doing a major 180.

And I remember that Andromeda episode. My gosh, I was so mad at it. The synopsis gives us a wonderful whumpy description, then totally jips us for what, a crap-load of dialogue? Harper was hardly even in it! Thank goodness for the Harper whump eps later on or I would have been fuming for quite some time.

i'm not going to be watching season 4 of atlantis as it stands now and i've burned my bridges at GW now

So tired of the drama and people twisting my words...

but ack but the negitive behind me.. i'm still looking forward to your fics loads!

and really harper whump i adored my fav harper episodes i think were harper 2.0 and D minus zero and the season 1 finale

have i asked you about supernatural? i adore it.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Was it GW that turned you off the show or the show that turned you off the show? If it's GW then just quit GW. I rarely go there myself, but mostly because I'm busy doing other things.

I just feel so bad for SGA. Plus with all this negativiety I'm scared the show will be cancelled, and without the show I will lose my mojo to write SGA fics. It's why I haven't written any more Andromeda fics. The shows feed the muses.

I love Supernatural, never miss it, drool over Dean, but I don't seem to have the same enthusiasm everyone else does. Maybe it's because I've been watching the show from the day it aired, so I'm used to it while most have just discovered it and are still catching up. In fact, I sometimes get annoyed by all the SPN talk, thinking "where was all the squeeing when during the first season?"

I don't know, I'm weird that way. I've never been one for bandwagons and I can see SPN going the way of SGA - people gushing over it from the start, then the complaints slowly begin to trickle in because expectations are set too high and this epsiode did this when it should have done that. Crap I honestly hope that doesn't happen. Supernatural doesn't deserve it with the stellar stuff it's been dishing out.

I really hope the show isn't canceled any time soon. I'm not looking forward to the time when you stop writing SGA fics.
I'm not up to date with the negativity surrounding SGA. What's been happening??

Season 2 of Supernatural has been absolutely incredible. I've been avoiding all the online hype about the show and taking each episode as it comes. I was a little more 'involved' in season 1 and became overwhelmed by all the squeeing. It's too hard to keep up with. Better to just sit back and enjoy the episodes by themselves.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Cast changes, lack of good Sheppard whump, lack of Sheppard back-story, that kind of thing. I'm all for more whump but I'm going to be ticked if the complaining leads to the show being taken of the aire.

I could hug you. That's exactly how I am. I go along with the hype but there comes a point when I'm scant centimeters away from begging people to please talk about something else. The show is great, we get it, time to move along now. I prefer in-depth discussions concerning characters, episodes, plots, etc to gushing (although sometimes the gushing cannot be helped even in such discussions.)

Forget how great the show is. Let's talk about how hot Dean looks in a clingy white T-shirt - that kind of thing. (Note that I said in-depth discussion rather than intellectual ;)).

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

i'm afraid i am one of the complainers :(

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

you know i really think its mostly gw but i really hate the changes... but GW really has escalated it for me... i'm going to go once in a while but i will be cutting way back, its doing my head in...you'll still tell me when you post new stories though right!?

you shouldn't loose the mojo to write if it gets cancelled, my friend jips still writes drom fics. I would really mourn the loss of your stories

i've been watching supernatural since day one as well but i had to stop halfway through the season cause my dad got sick. its been kind of weird.. i so get what dean is going through...in some respects. But anyways i had to quit 1/2 through season 1 but i caught up with the dvds

i couldn't squeea for sga from the beginning as it didn't play here, i first watched it when the dvds came out.

i understand the bandwagon thing... it kind of turned me off of firefly, all the fangirls months after the show quit playing...maybe if they had watched it when it was on it wouldn't have got cancelled... but now it just bugs me and i don't really watch it anymore

boy that was long winded lol

Wow I totally agree with the SGA whumping issue. Take Supernatural for example. The injuries Sam and Dean sustained in the season 1 finale carried on through to the first couple of episodes of season 2! Granted SGA's episodes usually have a time gap between them but still! They can't even keep a bruise from one scene to the next. You would think being backhanded by a wraith would at least give Shep a split lip. We wanna see the effects of the whump damnit!

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

What really ticks me off with that is that the SG-1 gang gets scrapes and cuts. My hope is that the writers have taken notice of all these complaints (especially on the Gateworld thread) and have taken them into consideration. It's not like we're asking for much, just a bruise here or a limp there.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

from what I *understand* most of the shows like Heros, Lost etc will not start till Jan in order not to have gaps in between, but I'm not sure if thats in stone...its the new trend to avoid loss of viewers.

And CSI NY rocked if it wasn't for the last 3 mins...why can't we ever get a team scene, Mac didn't care about Danny?

SPN killed me DEAD!! Gawd I was a mess there for a while.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Did Mac even know what happened to Danny? Yeah, more team moments are needed. I'm thinking about writing an infirmary scene tag to that ep, but have it be Danny talking to Adam. I'll let the shippers handle the Danny/Lindsey thing. Poor Adam, the guy'll never visit another crime-scene again.

Waiting until the second half of the season might not be a bad idea since all other shows tend to be more reruns about that time. The hiatus thing was just so completely, utterly stupid.
