And that`s a wrap...
Almost all the Season Finales have aired right now so final stats for the Fall Season 13/14:
Arrow - the first half of the Season was much stronger than the last and the Finale, while it had cool moments, fell short of its potential a few times; also: writers and pet characters - that never ends well, and yet they never learn
The Originals - again, the beginning was stronger than towards the end, still the Finale was fine and at times genuinely moving; unlike Arrow, there weren`t moments I was peeved
The Vampire Diaries - incredibly weak Season with a surprisingly strong Finale, nope I do not remotely think this will be it but a) I wouldn`t want it to be and b) Alaric is back and a regular again next Season, yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! \o/
Reign - started out as complete cheese, turned into a relatively amusing dark comedy with occasional drama towards the end, the Finale had some strong moments
Grimm - I can neither mark this Season as particularly high nor weak, it was fine, the Finale was very predictable but the set-up isn`t too bad
Agents of Shield - while the shot got better since Winter Soldier, it still hasn`t fully clicked for me, the Finale was less than expected and with one utterly ludicrous moment I hated
Castle - while the Season itself was fine, I got sick of wedding hijinks somewhere in the middle, the Finale was cute enough until it veered into a predictable FU moment
Person of Interest - very strong year and the Finale was no exception, but it`s veering into territory too dark and draining for me if it stays like this all the time
NCIS Los Angels - I was happy for the Denzi that happened so I liked it mostly but the Finale was just rather stupid
Criminal Minds - it just all blurs together these days, the Finale was lackluster
Elementary - Season-wise, it was good, Finale-wise, less so
Big Bang Theory - I think it stays at the level it has been for some time now, the Finale encompassed that, i.e, I still find it amusing but the good years are over

With POI, I too hope there will be some positive resolution next Season. I was a bit disappointed Samaritan got online that easily after all. And frustrated at all the points where they had opportunities to stop it, some they let go for moral reasons but some were pure character dumb or plot dumb moments.

I think sometimes the writing goes out the window in the desire to set up the next big thing the characters have to face. Now that HR is no longer they had to put in another main focus for them to take care of. In doing that I think sometimes they lose focus of the here and now.
