My seasons and season finales scorecard with opinions

My seasons and season finales scorecard with my opinions.
Here's my score card and opinions so far for the finales and seasons:

Heroes:
C. Great season, bad finale. Please for the love of god, don't drag next season out again like this year. It wasn't worth it. The season finale was such a letdown. They have drug out this season for so long. It started back in August. That's almost 9 months!! This entire time everyone has been expecting this big knock down drag out fight between Sylar and some of our heroes. Well, there wasn't a big fight and it just kind of ended really fast. This whole thing just really pisses me off. They work hard to get people to watch and you work hard to keep up with it and get your friends to watch. They make it so interesting all season long and then when it comes to the ending, they DROP THE BALL. Of course I'm going to watch it next season, but now we know what to expect. Ughhh, i'm so angry about this.

24:
B. Good season. Nothing too special and different than seasons past.
The finale was good. Not great, but good. It was an interesting move with they ended it. No real cliffhanger. Just Jack Bauer looking over a cliff wondering where and what he should now do with his life. To me, it seemed more like a series finale ending than a season finale. What I took from it, is that maybe the producers didn't want to have a cliffhanger in order to start with a clean slate next season. The only real storyline that might carry over would be Chloe's pregnancy. Of course, by next season she would have had the kid. Maybe it was a way to kind of write her character off possibly for next season. I hope they leave LA next year. Only 8 1/2 more months until we find out.

Lost:
Yet to be decided. So far though, I would give the season an A. The only real problem with Lost finales is that you don't know exactly how they'll carry over to the next season. Remember last year when we all freaked out that those guys saw the island on their computer? It took them almost to the end of this season to kind of address that with Naomi's arrival. Too bad we have another 8 1/2 month wait until next season.

Smallville:
B. Is Chloe really dead? Is Lionel dead? How will Clark take care of Bizzaro Clark? It's nice that they are getting further and further away from the Dawson's Creek type shows from previous seasons. This season and last season have been really good. Very Superman'esque type shows. Lots O' Action! As far as the finale goes, it was good, but not great. It was no where as cool as season 4's finale cliffhanger(ended with Clark in the North Pole ready to form the Fortress of Solitude) and last season's cliffhanger(ended with Zod in control of the world). The bad thing with Smallville is that the entire storyline in the cliffhanger will be dealt with and wrapped up by episode 1 next season.

The Office:
A+++. The ending of the finale was great and priceless. No one saw that coming with Ryan the former temp. I am so happy for this show. Never in a million years did I think that this show would become the success that it is. It continues to be funny and never disappoints. I can't wait for 30 new episodes(5 of them will be an hour long) next season. 30 episodes is almost unheard of these days.

Grey's Anatomy:
B. It's been a good year. I haven't been as in to this show this year as I was last year. I can't really figure out why. There were no bad episodes or anything, I just wish the characters would do something a bit different more often. I know that sounds odd, but I'm sick of the Christina/Burke thing, I have seen enough episodes of the Callie, George, and Izzie story, and I have seen enough of the Meredith/Derek story. Just get on with it already with these characters. The finale was good, but it didn't have any good cliffhangers. The storyline I have any interest in is seeing who Lexie Grey is. Don't get me wrong, the show isn't bad and I'm not going to stop watching it, but I think they need to freshen it up a bit with new cast members or something. I thought that Karev's storyline this year was the best because we got to see a different side of him. That's kind of what I want to see. Boy, I sound like a girl talking about that show.

Veronica Mars:
Season as a whole: high C to low B. I don't blame the producers for this one. I blame The CW. They have jerked this show around all year. They still haven't made up their mind on what to do with it. So instead of coming up with a solution, they let the producers make episodes with no idea on where to go with them. Do you make a series finale type season or do you make a cliffhanger type finale? Usually with Veronica Mars, there's a season long mystery for everyone to figure out. This year, they got a half season mystery, then they got pulled off the air while "The Search for the new Pussycat" crap aired, and then Veronica Mars returned with single story type episodes. Currently, Veronica Mars is not coming back next season in the form its in now. It might comeback mid-season in the form of a "4 years later" type show, BUT The CW can't make up their minds. Without Veronica Mars, the only thing on The CW worth watching is Smallville. When that ends(possibly next season), there won't be anything worth watching at all on The CW.

Finally... Battlestar Galactica:
A. Great finale. The producers did such a great job at keeping the ending a surprise. I don't want to ruin it for anyone. I'm hoping to get some friends hooked on it over the summer. Don't judge this show until you watch it. I know at least 3 people that thought it looked dumb and after watching some episodes, they love it. I think being in the sci-fi genre turns people off for some reason.

Season finale's as a whole: B+. Not nearly as good as last year's finales, but good nonetheless.

These are my opinions, but you don't have to take my word for it.(Cue reading rainbow sound)

I know I left some shows off. I can't watch everything, but then that's what the summer season is for!
