I was unsure about watching the last episode of Lost. The series did not capture from the first season, but as the second and third came and went I couldn't stop watching.
Tonight's last night with some of TV's most interesting characters that lead us through interesting plot lines, wrapped up the story in a way I feel satisfied by. It was nice to see them all together again. It was an interesting plot line to show the end all the way through this last season. Though, as they are all dead in the end, some of the references to the afterlife may have been over done. Nice touches though are seen in the stain glass window behind Jack's father of the different religions.
Congratulations to a series actually finishing the way they want to and not being forced to end abruptly through cancellation. I look forward to watching the whole series once again and being satisfied by the completion of a story that entertained me for many years.

Yet another year of Gilmore Girls re-runs
After three weeks of working Gilmore Girls into my schedule I've finally made it through the whole seven seasons once again. I finally remember why I let the DVD set sit on my shelf unwatched since I bought the full set over a year ago...the show ended. I briefly remember a few nights of curling up in bed and crying myself to sleep, but those days are over...or so I thought.
My views however have changed since my first viewing of the last season of Gilmore Girls. Back then I was disappointed. I was angry that it didn't all work out like it was supposed to. Rory didn't get everything she wanted, Lorelai didn't get married and all our favourite characters didn't quite find themselves where we all thought they would be. Well, maybe except Paris.
However. Three years after one of my favourite series ended, I sat down and watched Rory grow up all over again. This time round, me, being that much older and wiser, and perhaps by seeing through different eyes, the last season wasn't as bad as I had thought. Yes, Chris was probably a mistake, and Rory walking away from Logan may have broken many hearts, but this time around it really brought out what life really is like here in the non TV world. Things don't (and mostly) do not work out like we planned and in the end...Stars Hollow isn't any different than the rest of the world (even though in TV land it should be).
This however will never deter my addiction or my hopes that maybe someday I will know what happened to my most favourite small town and to the memorable characters that remind me of the people I love.
Thanks for giving us seven seasons...but I think we are all still waiting for a little bit more of Luke and Lorelai.
