I just saw that Chuck is not scheduled to come back until after the Winter Olympics next year. That's next March! I mean, some Chuck is better than no Chuck, but I don't know if I can wait 10 months for the follow-up to that finale! Also, why has Scrubs been renewed? Don't get me wrong, I love that show, but it's been going on for 8 seasons now, and the finale was the absolute perfect series finale for the show. How do they follow that up? Is Zach Braff not coming back next season? What about the other regulars? If it's just the interns, I don't know that I'll be very interested in it.
I spent Wednesday and Thursday catching up on TV I was behind on and I'm STILL not done. To be fair, I did spend all afternoon yesterday hanging out with friends, but still. I had time at night to catch up on stuff. The problem now is that I got through the stuff I really wanted to watch first, and now I'm left with stuff I don't care as much about. Of course, if it's this much of a pain to watch the shows, I probably should just stop watching them entirely, but I have trouble letting go of shows, especially if I've been watching them for awhile. Anyway, here are some random thoughts on some of the stuff I've been watching.
The Big Bang Theory:
The good parts:
Penny knocking back at Sheldon was the BEST THING EVER. (That's totally flirting for them.)
Raj's parents talking to Howard's mom was hilarious! I want there to be more of that somehow.
Is it wrong that I just felt really sad for Sheldon when Leonard, Howard, and Raj cheered at Sheldon going away? I know it's supposed to be funny, and I'm sure it would be hell to have to live with him, but... it's Sheldon! I love Sheldon! So I just felt bad for him. And he invited them to go with him! I find that really sweet for some reason! And him calling Leonard his best friend before that, too. I don't know if he's done that before (he probably has), but I just noticed it and was like "Aww, see, Sheldon values some social relationships!"
The rest:
Ugh, this was like worst-case scenario for me with Penny/Leonard. Best, honestly, would be them getting together for good, because if they got together now, I'd be sure that they weren't end-game for the show. Second would be absolutely nothing happening between them because, well, I don't really like them together, obviously. Third and worst is a very small development like Penny missing Leonard a little too much so their "romance" is just dragged out for many, many seasons. sigh. I was really hoping something major would happen between them so we can just get their relationship over with. I think I need to accept that the show wants Penny/Leonard and that Sheldon/Penny will never happen. blah. In any case, disappointing finale, pretty much entirely because of that.
Bones
Uh... what? What the hell was that? I was spoiled for the fact that Booth and Brennan would have sex, and I could have sworn some writer or actor said that it definitely wouldn't be a dream sequence, so... wtf? Was I just making that up? Maybe it's not a dream sequence because either Booth was imagining it in his coma (and that's somehow not a dream?) or because Brennan was writing it. Either way, it was totally cheap to build it up like this in all the press and such and then have it be what it was. And David Boreanaz said we definitely wouldn't be disappointed with the way it went down, and... fail. Because I was definitely disappointed.
And the rest of the episode... what? It was just boring. I wanted to know how Booth was recovering and if Angela and Hodgins would get back together and if Brennan would change her mind about having a baby (ugh, please, it's so out of character for her!) and instead they gave us a random, boring alternate universe.
[SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON FINALE OF HOUSE AHEAD]
It's kind of weird how in both Bones and House, they had two characters who had been building up to making out/having sex for awhile have sex and then have it not turn out to be real, yet on House, I didn't feel cheated or disappointed at all. Maybe it's because I got time to think it was real? Or maybe because it was just wonderfully, beautifully done, with House flashing between what he imagined had happened and what had actually happened. And Hugh Laurie's acting in that scene was just amazing. But yeah, I mean, there's a way to do the same sort of thing, but do it well.
The Office
All I really have to say about this is OMG JIM/PAM BABY! When the nurse/doctor/whoever said something about there being any chance Pam was pregnant, I was like "...no. They're not going to make her pregnant, are they? That's a fake-out, right?" BUT THEN SHE IS. I think a lot of people are bored by Jim and Pam these days, but whatever, I still love them. It's not the same excitement as before they got together, but I still find them so sweet and wonderful together. I still adore his proposal at the beginning of this season, and this is just as awesome. Both of their faces when they found out! They were so happy and excited!
I have many pictures of my trip and of bobcat kittens that are living in my backyard, so I'll post those at some point in the next few days! And I suppose I need to start looking for a job or something to do this summer, because my mom will keep bugging me if all I do is sit around the house.
