Fringe
Lived up to the Hype?: Always.
Excitement for Next Season?:
Whenever a show ends with a cryptic message from an Observer, and September in
particular, you know it’s going to be good. Good in that confusion, constantly changing, yell at your TV
kind of way.
Questions Remaining?: Olivia was not
in the future episode, so is she going to be alive then or not? Will we jump forward and deal with the
observers then (and if so, will that be an add on at the end, a la Dollhouse,
or will we get there earlier in this 13 episode final run), or will they get
some information from September that helps them change the future? Plus a million more questions. Cause it’s Fringe.
Standout Performances/Character
Moments: There were some lovely
Peter & Olivia moments (especially the end!), but I still giggle when I
think about Nina’s Glinda the Good Witch moment, as she tells Olivia that she’s
always had the power. I was pretty
sure the next thing out of her mouth was going to be “click you heels...”
Once Upon a Time
Lived up to the Hype?: Let’s just put
it this way. Both Kacey and my
roommate sent me messages containing the phrase “holy shit” before I had a
chance to watch, and I was still watching with my jaw on the floor.
Excitement for Next Season?: I think
that purple smoke spreading over the town to bring back the magic pretty much
counts for building excitement.
Questions Remaining?: Only a million. I love the set-up for the fairy tale
world storyline for next season, getting from Snow & Charming together to
them married with a baby and seeming to be royalty. Also, who is Dr. Whale in the fairy tale world? And could he maybe have a British
accent there?
Standout Performances/Character
Moments: Emma shooting at the
dragon. You can’t use a gun on a
dragon, obviously, but Emma is still rooted in reality (even though she
believes) and so she had to try, before she just chucked the sword at it. Also loved the return of Graham, even
if it was only in the past. He is
just so cute.
How I Met Your Mother
Lived up to the Hype?: It was pretty
much as expected, with a little twist.
Excitement for Next Season?: It
continues the overall theme of the show, which is...
Questions Remaining?: How do we get
to where we all know we’re headed.
Robin & Barney are getting married (although apparently it’s a
terrible disaster of a wedding??) but right now Barney & Quinn are
engaged. Plus Ted & Victoria
are driving off into the sunset, but we’re all pretty sure she is not the mom,
so we need to figure out where that is heading. A lot of questions for a show whose conclusion is in the
title.
Standout Performances/Character
Moments: This entire cast is
absolutely brilliant. Drunk
Marshal is always amazing, and Barney stealing a motorcycle (while wearing the
ducky tie) and also performing an epic magic trick was epic. But the real scene stealer was Marvin
Waitforit Erickson.
Hart of Dixie
Lived up to the Hype?: Oh dear god
yes.
Excitement for Next Season?: Drama, drama, drama. That was quite the final moment with
Zoe having her choice between two of Bluebell’s finest. Again, I want to go on record: Team
Wade.
Questions Remaining?: Wade or
George. George or Wade. Will Lemon
completely break down? Will she go
back to Lavon? Will he take her
back? Will anyone care?
Standout Performances/Character
Moments: I am partial to any time
that Wade takes his shirt off. And
that happened, a couple times. I
also love Tom (and his weather predicting knee) & Wanda. But mostly Wade taking off his
shirt. Oh! And baby goats. And when Wade took off his shirt to
help save the baby goats.
