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

Alaric is back and a regular again next Season, yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really??? I had no idea! Yay, I am definitely going to check TVD out again, then! I stopped watching when they killed him off. :-))

Oh, forgot to say: Mid-season on Reign, and am just beginning to enjoy it because of King Henry and his budding serial-killing ways. That ep where the Bohemian princess fell out the window? Comedy gold. :-)

Isn`t it just? That`s when I fell hardcore for the show, too. He literally fucked her out of a window. *g* And then him and Catherine bitching at each other on clean up duty. Mad!Henry is one of the best things ever. Together with Evil!Anne, they rule. :)

Henry and Catherine in the aftermath were the best thing. :-) "How do you clean clothes?" "I don't know! I think they soak them in... something." *g*

I think I haven't encountered evil!Anne yet, unless she's one of the characters whose name I keep forgetting. I will look forward to her. :-)

Oh, heh. Evil!Anne is Catherine. She just gets called that because the actress is most famous for playing Anne of Green Gables in that old miniseries. So, sorry for any confusion. :D

They brought him back in the Finale and afterwards there was a press release stating he`d be a regular again. It was kind of funny because they ended Ghost-World for good and it was like "hm, anything we need to grab from there while we`re at it? Ah, I know, Alaric". A bit like grabbing take-out on the way home. :)

Anyway, I`m so happy. And he will still be this basic uber-Original vampire which will provide interesting character dilemma.

Of course I want my bromance back on as well but stuff needs to happen before that.
