All Seasons and Season Finales Review

Where do I start? Well, first of all: all series ended like a million weeks ago, I know. Better late than never, right? Where do I start? Mmm... that is the question...
Ok. Let's start with the new series, opening with "Buffy"'s new series xD and oh! Before I forget:

*SPOILER ALERT!!!*
(from now on it's your fault... I warned you)

RINGER



I watched it like a long, long time ago, but what I remember most (and loved) was the fact that Bridget told Andrew and Juliette about her being Bridget instead of Siobhan. She did a pretty awesome job exposing herself like that, all my money goes to her. I also love that Henry finally stood up to the real Siobhan; because all season he kinda acted like her puppet. Not cool. Anyways: I really hope Andrew forgives Bridget and tries to understand why she did what she did. She took care of them both, so I think she deserves that much.
*UPDATE* I just friggin' found out Ringer's been cancelled. BUMMER! ¬¬

Person Of Interest



OMG! This Season Finale was the worst! (meaning: "totally awesome!") I can't believe Harold got cornered by "Fred" (I don't remember her name, but she'll always be "Fred" from 1999's Angel) and now his life is probably in danger. How the heck is Reese gonna get him out of trouble now?! Of course he will, right? He has to. He's John Reese. This series is amazing; and I really like how they dig into the characters' life/history one spoon at a time. It is simply remarkable. Besides: both their stories are not what I expected from the beginning; and that makes everything even better. I'm hoping season 2 will be as great as this one was.

Touch




YES! Kiefer. What an amazing series. The final episode was all over the place, and I liked it. I think it didn't end up as to continue for another season, but at the same time it could move foward to a season 2. As if the writers were trying to caught themselves before the fall of not getting renewed for another season. Anywho: this series has a lot of story and it's really nice to watch, you can relate to everything that happens even if you're not in that situation; it's awesome that way. Also, I really love the fact that in each episode we have a different story,  but at the same time all the stories collide into this gigantic ball of thread that just keeps tangling itself up into what we call "life". The theme this series touches is so wide and incomprehended by human kind that it gives unlimited creativity to the writers to do whatever they want with the story and the characters. Really, really excited to watch season 2.

Magic City




Well, I gotta admit I started watching this series becuase my sister talked me into it. I wasn't quite excited about the whole 50's/60's setting, but I started watching it anyways. Turns out: despite all the nudity, non discretional sex and women objectifying, the series is good. I'm not crazy about it, and I still think someone else should've died on that 8th episode, but here we are. I kinda wanna see what happens on season 2, not dying to know, but... a second season wouldn't hurt anyone.

Alcatraz




This series not renewing for season 2 sucks! It wasn't extraordinary. The theme sounded better than the series actually was. But it was a start. I guess people were just looking for some "I miss LOST like crazy" action and they didn't get it. Nevertheless, I still think the series deserved another chance to prove itself (we all wish it didn't cost any money). Anyways, Season Finale. AWESOMENESS!!! It was perfect to have her life threaten like that. Best part is: you don't know if she's dead or alive (and you never will).

Grimm




Well, well, well:  Detective Nick Buckhardt turned out to be quite an action figure. I still hate how he looks so naïve and stupid sometimes, but I guess it's all a part of being drag into this whole new world you didn't even think existed, so... I honestly thought Juliette would be like: "Oki-doki! Let's light this candle! Let's kill monsters together!" when he told her what he was. Buuuuuut, she didn't. Which toally sucked, like when he asked her to marry him and she said: "Mmm... you're not being yourself right now, let's talk about it later". I was like: "WHAT?! Did Just look into his puked puppy eyes and turned him down?! What a bitch!!!". But whatever, at least she stood by him and all his craziness. I really hope in season two we get to see Monroe more often. I love, love, love that character, he's so awesome and so cool with Nick being a Grimm. I love how he gets all excited everytime he sees a weapon hidden in aunt Marie's trailer. I'm hoping to find out what the hell is Nick's boss in season 2. Is he a monster? Is he a Grimm? Is he just human? What the fuck is he planning to do about Nick? Questions, questions, and more unanswered questions.

Once Upon A Time




Best.Season.Finale.EVER! No one expected the forehead kiss of a mother to be "The Kiss" to save everyone from Regina's curse. And it was amazing. Amazing, I'm telling you! I mean: everything from Pinocchio being hidden by Geppetto inside the closet where Snow White put her little baby in order to saved the world 28 years later, to Emma trying to leave Storybrooke to save Henry from getting in the middle of a fight, to Regina bringing back the poisoned apple through the Mad Hatter's spinning hat (The Mad Hatter himself, oh my gosh ♥), to Henry getting poisoned, to Mr. Gold bringing back the magic (I loooooove Rumpelstiltskin), to Emma finally breaking the curse by kissing her child on the forehead. AWESOMENESS. Pure, sheer AWE.SOME.NESS.- I've got nothing else to say: this second season's series is gonna be a-ma-zing.

K', 'k: done with the newbies! Let's start with the classics:

Glee




I hate how you have all these amazing characters and still... at the very end of season 3: it's all about fucking Rachel Berry. Don't get me wrong, I love the girl, and I want her to succeed, but let's be honest: was it fair that she got everything she wanted when no one else did?! I didn't think so. I also always thought Tina and Artie were seniors until the very last minute when they confirmed they were juniors (thanks for letting me know that, Murchuk ¬¬). I don't know where this series is gonna go without a strong woman's voice (musically). And as a comedy goes: without Finn, Kurt, Puck and Santana, you've got nothing, Murphy. I'm sorry. I hope some new characters come down the spotlight and make this series shine 'cause it's going nowhere for me.

Bones




This series should've ended last season, just saying. I love that she got pregnant and she had a baby with Booth and they're a family now. But the way season 7 ended. Come on! That is so NOT Bones, she doesn't act like that, she would never do something like that. It just didn't make sense to the character at all! I mean: you don't write a character certain way for six seasons and then make them change drastically for one last season only 'cause she became a mother...? It was ridiculous and lame. I've not idea how the fuck are they gonna fix this.

Supernatural




Speaking of series that should've ended in previous seasons... Supernatural should've ended in season 5. YES. FIVE. Because season 6 was a total mess up. I mean: it didn't have a straight story-line and the characters were all over the place, it was just a dark spot in the Supernatural history. Season 7 picked it up a little bit, but still, nothing will ever be the same after they killed a phoenix. A fucking phoenix!!! Lore says clearly in every society that phoenixes come back from their ashes and Dean just wastes one with the freaking Colt?! Come on! Anyways: making Cass go nuts, not a very good idea. Killing Bobby: totally UNCOOL. The only character that stills the same is Demon Crowley (King Of Hell); and he's awesome. I was really expecting to hear it wouldn't be renewed but... it actually was renewed for another two seasons, just in case.

Criminal Minds




This Series Finale was awesome! From beginning to end! I was afraid they'd kill Will, 'cause I'd be very, very mad, but they didn't (: And J.J. turned out to be quite an action figure herself, kicking that crazy lady's butt off. When she took the ammunition clip outta the gun and took the bullet out of the chamber, I was like: "I wanna be like her so baaaaad!!!". She's amazing, like all the characters. Yep, well, except for Prentiss. Never really liked her, and lately she'd been acting kinda bitchy, so... glad to see her walk away from the team. Anywho: the writers made her look like a hero on that last episode. I still don't like her. And I really hope they don't get a replacement for her, I don't want a newbie hanging out with my team.

And last, but not least: the very best for the big finale....

CSI: NY




(not the best picture, I know) I was really bumped CSI: New York wasn't gonna be renewed for a season 9 when I watched this Season Finale. Hours later I found out Miami had been actually ended to renew New York for a ninth season, which totally rocked. I cried my eyes out watching this episode. After eight seasons you kinda get attached to the characters, and Mac Taylor is the best cop ever before seen. I cried the most when Flack appeared on Mac's "limbo". Their conversation, Flack telling Mac how sorry he was about never telling him how much he really loved him and all. It was really moving. On the real world, when they were processing the scene, when Lindsay watches the pit of Mac's blood and how pissed she was at everything. I love how the writers season after season made the show more about the characters their lives and their relationships with each other than about the murders, but still being in touch with the fact that it is a procedural cop show. I love everything about this series; it's awesome that the writers/creators gave it another shot to show how much better than the other two CSI's actually is. CSI: NY FOR THE WIN!!! (:


Can't wait to watch: CSI: NY (Season 9), Criminal Minds (Season 8), Person Of Interest (Season 2), Once Upon A Time (Season 2), Touch (Season 2), and of course: American Horror Story (Season 2).

Once Upon A Time's Mad Hatter

YES! That's what I'm talking about! This was the best OUAT episode EVER! I love, love, love "Alice In Wonderland"; and I really, really like the way they introduced it into the series.

 

At the beginning I was like: "Wait a second! "Alice" is not from the Grimm brothers, what are they doing?!", and then I realized I wasn't watching "Grimm" xD This fairy-tale-explosion is confusing me ^^'


I liked a lot his "past" story. You know? Back in the fairy-tale? I love the fact that he's a single father and he wants to give everything to his daughter. And that he has a magic hat, of course... Do'h?


And, let's face it. He's a cutie. And he's nuts! So, I've got to love him.
"I hate Wonderland" -> he is great.


Okay, believe me. I've never, ever, ever thought I'd say this... but... this man rocks long hair harder than short hair. And that's incredibly disturbing for me. I'm a big NO for long hair in men.


The scar was the cherry in the pie. It was a "Suck it up, Emma! What I'm telling you is soooo true!"


Look at him?! How could she not believe him?! Emma is being disgustingly sckeptic, lately. I hate that about her.


But, obviously I'd think the same if I were in her shoes. I mean, she doesn't see what we all see... the before-the-curse-kinda-timeline-slash-story?


But he's just asking you to make a freaking hat! Just make the fucking hat and shut up!!! Well, she did imake the hat. Man, I love top hats... they're awesome.


I also love men crying. I don't know why but, for me, crying makes a man so much vulnerable than a woman. It's an old-fashion kinda thinking, I know. And a little bit 'bookly-ish', if you may. But then again, I'm a sucker for fairy tales and heart-breaking stories; so it's perfect for me.

Top 10: "Best Series I've Seen"

Up to 2011, of course.

#10 - PERSON OF INTEREST

Serie nueva, producida por J.J. Abrams. Sí, nada que ver con LOST, gracias a Dios. Es interesante el tema, los personajes de James Caviezel (John Reese) y Michael Emerson (Harold Finch) están geniales (el personaje de Michael es tan diferente a Ben (LOST) que da un poquito de miedo...).

#9 - BONES

Sí. Esta serie fue genial desde la primera temporada. Parece ser la típica serie policíaca, pero no. Es como si House M.D. y algún CSI tuvieran un hijo. Serie 100% recomendable para empezar a ver ahora, aunque ya vaya por la temporada 7.

#8 - ONCE UPON A TIME

Otra serie nueva. Cosas locas pasan en Once Upon A Time; pero es una idea nueva, e interesante. A ver si la onda 'cuentos de hadas volviéndose realidad' puede superar a la 'era vampírica' que creó la imbécil de Stephenie Mayer ¬¬

#7 THE WALKING DEAD

"LOS.MUERTOS.CAMINANDO.", como dice el Chuli xD. Esta serie es puro desarrollo de personajes. Me encanta. Es un fucking ensueño. Los personajes parecen haber cambiado un montón de una temporada a la otra, pero en realidad ni tanto. No. Te digo, es genial. Mirala, no tiene desperdicio. Eso, sin tener en cuenta la cantidad de 'guita' y 'laburo' que le ponen encima para hacer todo lo que es maquillaje, ¿no? Efectos: AWESOME!

#6 ALPHAS
Seguimos estrenando series. ¡Una de las mejores del año igual, eh! Gente con poderes especiales. Una onda X-Men, pero un toque menos 'outcast'. Pelean contra el crimen de gente común y bueno... algunos de sus poderes están mucho mejores que los de muchos de los X-Men. No offense...

#5 PRISON BREAK

Esta serie terminó como hace tres años. Pero yo sigo insistiendo en que es una de las series mejor logradas de Estados Unidos. Buenos personajes. Buena trama. ¿Qué más podés pedir?

#4 BEING HUMAN

De MÁS está aclarar que estoy hablando de Being Human UK. La versión estadounidense no existe para mí. Es como un vómito de Twilight. No. Por Dios. No. Una vez más, buenos personajes, trama complicada. Interesante. Pero como que la cagaron al final de la tercera temporada. Igual, vale la pena totalmente ver esta serie, y esperar a ver qué inventan para la cuarta temporada... suckers ¬¬

#3 SUPERNATURAL

Una de las mejores series que vi en mi vida. Y era la mejor después de la primera, hasta que continuaron después de la temporada 5. Sigo insistiendo que si hubiese terminado ahí, todos seríamos más felices. En fin: los personajes siguen siendo buenos, es sólo que la historia se les fue un poco de las manos y empezaron a inventar cualquier cosa. Además, no aprecio que me maten personajes importantes ¬¬

#2 AMERICAN HORROR STORY

¡Cómo los cagué a todos! Seguro pensaron que iba a poner AHS en el puesto #1. Pero nop. En mi corazón, el puesto #1 le pertenece a otra serie. Volviendo a AHS: probablemente esta temporada (la primera) sea la mejor de esta serie. Porque la serie en conjunto va a ser un 'reboot' de sí misma cada comienzo de temporada. Extraño, pero cierto. Los personajes son geniales, la trama es genial, el final es buenísimo. La evolución de los personajes es gradual y fundamentada. Es genial. No hay otra palabra para describirla.

#1 CRIMINAL MINDS

Oh, sí. Mi corazón tiene grabado es escudo de la BAU. No tengo palabras para describir lo buena que me resulta esta serie. La mejor serie de unitarios del mundo. O sea: Hotch, basta. Callate. Es genial, genial, genial.

Acá termina mi "Top 10: "Best Series I've Seen"". A ver qué series nuevas o temporadas nuevas me depara el 2012...
