Belated "Heroes" recap

Ok, three things before I begin my brief recap of the "Heroes" season finale.
1. Sorry this is a day late. I actually didn't watch "Heroes" until tonight, because I was out last night (I know -- I'm a traitor to the TV Gods).
2. Sorry I wrote that the finale would be two hours. Hope you're not still waiting for that second hour to air -- it's not coming.
3. Chris Courtney, you better be reading this. I'm posting this blog just for you, man.

Ok, so I'm still wiping the tears away after watching the "Heroes" season finale. How beautiful and sad and poignant was that? The finale was one of the most emotional TV moments of the year. Here's a quick recap.
(Spoilers ahead)
1. Jessica saved Nicki.
2. Matt got shot (and was wheeled to the hospital as poor little Molly begged her hero not to die).
3. We learned Mr. Bennett's first name (it's Noah).
4. Hiro saved Ando.
5. Sylar (maybe) died
and, lest we forget, Nathan sacrificed himself to help Peter. Or did he? I've heard rumors that Adrian Pasdar (Nathan) IS coming back next season, so we might not have seen the last of the flying man.
All in all, a solid wrap-up, giving me high hopes for next season.

Veronica, we hardly knew ye

Man, what a crappy way to end "Veronica Mars." Keith could go to jail? Logan has drawn the wrath of a mob son? And we don't get to find out what happened? How horrible! The only thing worse than "Veronica" getting canceled is "Veronica" getting canceled without a proper ending. I'm soooo infuriated. I totally want to go all Logan on the CW.
Curses upon them! Curses, I say!!!!!!

The best "Simpsons" in months

Must say, tonight's "24" parody on "The Simpsons" represented some of the show's best writing in a long, long time. The episode was a gleeful (but affectionate) parody of all the things that even hardcore Jack-aholics can't stand about "24." The peasoup thick melodrama. The ridiculous dialogue. And, of course, those split screens. How hilarious were the split screens on "The Simpsons"? Extra points for getting "24" stars Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub to lend their voices to the ep.
Kudos.
P.S. As for the other shows on tonight (spoiler alert) what was with the suicide mania? Both A.J. on "The Sopranos" and Edie on "Desperate Housewives" tried to do themselves in! And Edie might have succeeded. Quel bummer.

Mars-ifesto

Hello all -- as you can imagine, I was quite upset over the CW's recent decision to cancel my favorite show, "Veronica Mars." How upset, you ask? Well, click on the "continue reading" link below to view my charmingly insane video blog, recorded Friday afternoon in the Connecticut Post offices. Don't mind the mess on my desk.
