Revenge Series Finale: Dig Two Graves, But Not For Yourself

In all my years of watching television series finales I have never wanted the lead of the lead of a show to go down with the ship. Until Revenge.  SPOILER ALERT.  With all of the conniving and twisting and red sharpies, how was there a happy ending for Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke? How was she going to live with herself knowing that she caused so many deaths (Aidan, Daniel, Ben, Declan to name a few)?  I went into watching the Revenge series finale with the knowledge that Emily was sure to die at the hands of Victoria or in some crazy accident with Nolan looking on, not being about to do anything.  I was shocked to find out that not only does Emily get her final revenge on Victoria (albeit her father pulled the trigger), she lives and gets to marry the love of her life, Jack.   How is that possible? Before I answer that, let’s talk about the episode and the half-hearted, crazy 4th season. Season 3 ended with the shocker that I saw coming - David Clarke is...

True Blood Finale

It has been a long time since the True Blood made its final bow, or stab depending on which way you look at it. Before I get into the review lets do a little recap. Bill is still on his path to die by Sookie’s fairie light and rid him of his internal struggle that he is destined to die; He believes he is being punished for all of his sins since he was turned a vampire during the Civil War.  Sookie is still struggling to figure out what to do, not sure if she can kill the man she loves. Bill wants Sookie to kill him so she can live her life without vampires and death.  Eric and Pam are working to get rid of the Japanese people and take over New Blood for themselves (which is genius).  In the end, Eric and Pam kill all the Japanese and they are both rich with the New Blood market.  Sookie does come to the conclusion that she wants babies and a real, human life with no vampires and stakes Bill in his own grave that was dug for him when he didn’t return home from t...

How I Met Your Mother Series Finale

It has been about a month since the series finale of How I Met Your Mother where Ted explained to his kids the moment he met their mother and what happened with all of his friends after Robin and Barney’s wedding.  To recap, Barney and Robin got a divorce 3 years after their marriage; Marshall and Lily had another kid and Marshall got appointed Supreme Court judge in NY; and Ted married Tracey (the mother) then watched her pass away after an illness.  In the end Ted was reminiscing with his kids about their mother and how much she meant to him, how she affected his life. But the kids weren’t stupid. His daughter immediately pointed out that their mother was almost never in any of the stories he told and in every story it seemed there was always one constant – Robin.  They called him out saying that he is in love with Robin and wanted their permission to go on a date with her.  He denies it but in the end instead of calling her and asking her out on a date,...
