And then there was finale season ... 

So,"Grey's Anatomy" wraped up last nigt and I was definitely impressed. Even with all of the casting rumours flying around I was still shocked by the end. I'd figured things were going to go one way but it really worked going the other. It'll definitely be interesting to see what everything means when it comes to next season. Should be prettty interesting, if nothing else. 

One of the reason I really like "Grey's" so much is because of all of the great character moments the show has, and last night definitely didn't disappoint. There were some wonderful moments like Arizona standing up to the Cheif, Cristina hugging Meredith or any of the Mark/Lexi scenes. I think, though, that my favorite moment was when Bailey took Torres and Swender to "see the joy." I absolutley loved that scene! Definitely some good stuff! 

In other finale news ... "Prison Break" wraps up tonight. To be honest I can't believe it has lasted this long. Who thought a show about a guy going to prison to break his brother out of prison would've lasted this long?

That said, I'm glad it has. I'm definitely going to miss this show and I can't wait to see how it ends. With all the ups and downs and side switching that's gone on it's going to be crazy to see where everyone ends up. Either way it should be pulse-pounding goodness. 

Speaking of "pulse-pounding goodness" "Numb3rs" is also on tonight! Woo hoo! After the end of the last episode I can't wait to see what's going to happen. Even though I love the show I've been disappointed by "Numb3rs" finales in the past but I'm hoping that the same thing doesn't happen tonight. The preview looks promising, so that's a plus. I'll be interested to see how they leave it tonight and what it means for everyone, epsecially Charlie/Amita. Hopefully it makes for as much drama and tension as some of the last few episodes have offered. 

On another quick note, I'm also excited because while surfing around today I came acorss this:  Fall TV cheat sheet

It's a quick "cheat sheet" that outlines the prospects of a bunch of the network shows and it's looking like my fall schedule wishes are coming true. Yay! 

I'm totally excited that "Castle" has become a "safe bet" for renewel! I've completely fallen in love with this show. I started watching because of Nathan Fillion, but I continue to watch because of everything about the show. It's so well written, acted and directed. I completely love the dynamic between Castle/Beckett and Castle and his daughter. Oh, so good. 

Anyway, no point in gushing on and on about the show, for now ... hehe. 

Cheers!

There's a lot going on and I really don't know where to start or what to talk about.

I guess maybe the best place to start is at the end. There's been a lot of good stuff going on in the realm of the finales. Loved "The Big Bang Theory" and "Castle." I also enjoyed the "House" finale, though I wonder how much is going to change because of what went on. Then there was "Private Practice." Holy crap talk about a cliffhanger! Heck, I even enjoyed the "Lost" season finale last night and I'm not the biggest fan/viewer of the show (I haven't watched from the start so when I do try and watch I literally get lost).

What else? Well tonight we've got "Grey's Anatomy" which, from the previews, looks like it'll be pretty good. Plus, a bunch more of my favorites should be coming up on their finales soon, so things are really looking up.

Then there's summer TV. "Big Brother" and "Wipeout" should be starting again soon. 

Ooo, and that Fox show "Glee" is premiereing next Tuesday. I don't know how good it will be but the ads have definitely piqued my interest.

Anyway, it's a good time for tv and a busy time for me.

I'm really going to work to keep updating this even if it's just to say that I'm still around. I'm going back to school so we'll see how that works out with all of this. I'm starting up classes again on Tuesday. It's only one class for a couple of months but by June it'll be two. It shouldn't be that bad for the summer but by the fall it's going to be a little bit more crazy. Nothing I can't handle however. Ultimately, we shall see.

Anyway ... if I keep going it's just going to be way off topic.

Cheers!

Needed a break from working on a few Big Bang Theory icons and started surfing around. Came across some interesting news concerncing ABC and Early Pick-Ups for next season. It looks like I'm going to be enjoying most of my favorite ABC shows next season. "Private Practice," "Grey's Anatomy," "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost" are among the shows that have all recieved an early pick-up. Definitely good stuff. 

Check out the full this here: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=54811

The one ABC show that I'm really wondering about is "Castle." I'm keeping my fingers crossed where this show is concerned for sure. Hopefully it's good news when the networks get around to announcing everything. We shall see. 

It looks like "The Amazing Race" is going to get another season as well. That's exciting for me. 

Can't wait to hear about the rest of the shows/networks. Especially NBC and Southland in particular. It'll be interesting to see what they're going to do. 

Anyway, back to icon making for me. 

Cheers!

I'm completely loving that all of my shows are back in swing. I'm still waiting for Numb3rs, but other than that I've been fairly impressed by what I've see so far.

Last night was Grey's Anatomy. There were of course a few things that annoyed me, but for the most part I enjoyed the show. Mostly because of the entrance of one Kevin McKidd (Rome, Journeyman). His character seemed to inject a new life into the cast, especially into Christina, but it bleed through into Callie and finally Sheppard and Bailey. It was phenomenal! I don't know how long he's signed on for, but hopefully it's going to be a while.

That's about it. Well, except for new Atlantis tonight. I haven't read much about the episode so I don't know which way I'm leaning on this. My hope is that I'll have something to write about tonight or tomorrow. We shall see.

Cheers!

Just for fun, and maybe to get some conversations started, I thought I'd post up my television week in review. It's just going to be my thoughts on the shows I watched this past week.

I was going to post this on Sunday but didn't get the chance. So, I'm adding reviews of Prison Break & House from this week since I've seen both of those shows' new episodes. :)

Anyway, if you're reading this humble little list of reviews and happen to like/dislike the shows I've written about and/or you disagree/agree with my assessment, I'd more than love to hear from you! So feel free to leave as many comments as you'd like. :)

CAUTION: Beware of Spoilers for the latest episodes of Prison Break, Corner Gas, House, Law & Order: SVU, Criminal Minds, Private Practice, Bionic Woman, Grey's Anatomy, Numb3rs, and Stargate: Atlantis



Cheers!

I was watching the premiere of Grey's Anatomy tonight, and while I thought the show was great and had some very standout moments, I'm a little annoyed with one thing ... I don't think what I'm about to talk about is too spoilerish, but it could be, so just in case I'll cut it ...

Anyway ... that's that.

On with premiere week. So far, so good. And we've definitely saved the best for last. Numb3rs & SGA tomorrow! Woo hoo. I'm so excited for Numb3rs. Beyond belief. I can't wait to see how they handle the Colby situation. I've tried to remain spoiler free about the whole thing. It's been tough, but come tomorrow night I'm hoping it's been worth it. Eeek.

Cheers!

Numb3rs and Stargate and House, oh my!

I'm so excited that the fall television premiere week is almost upon us! Though it did start a little early with Prison Break (which I thought was great!). I can't decide what show/shows I'm more excited for, Corner Gas & Prison Break on Monday, House on Tuesday, Private Practice & Criminal Minds on Wednesday, Grey's Anatomy on Thrusday or Numb3rs & Stargate: Atlantis on Friday! There is so much good television to tune into this year. It's awesome!

Then, on top of that, there's a lot of great television that I've never had the chance to get into like I've wanted to. Heroes, Smallville & Lost topping that particular list. I was hoping to get caught up this summer and then never had the chance. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up on them sooner rather than later.

And of course, can't forget about some of the new programs that are coming out. Bionic Woman, for instance, starting on NBC on Wednesday looks like it might be pretty good. But when I look at Wednesday night television it's pretty booked up, and it's all on at 9. I couldn't get lucky and have them on at different times! Where's TiVo (or PVR) and time shifting when you need it?

Private Practice is one of the new shows that I've definitely decided I'm going to give a chance to and that I'm totally excited about. Addison was/is my favourite of the Grey's characters (followed closely by George and Callie). So, I'm totally going to be routing for Kate Walsh and her show to give us big things. Plus, the cast for the show looks amazing. I'm excited to see Paul Adelstein in a role completely different from the one he had in Prison Break. It should be good!

I don't want to forget about Pushing Daisies, either. I haven't heard a lot about the show, but from what I have seen it looks like it might be worth tuning into just to give it a try. *shrugs* I don't know.

Then, on top of all of that, there are the shows that don't start until later into the season: The Amazing Race & 24, in particular.

So much television, so little time!

It's way more than official now ... I've become addicted to icon making.

I've finished 37 more over the last couple of days/weeks. I guess it's about time to share a few more.

Eventually these will make their way into the big post of all the icons.

I don't think there are any big spoilers among them. Though, I guess there's a possible spoiler for "Tao of Rodney" in one of the Atlantis icons. I don't think it's really big and it could be easily missed (at least I think so).

The Icon Breakdown:
4 - Grey's Anatomy (4 Addison)
6 - Farscape (6 John&Aeryn)
27 - Stargate: Atlantis (10 Weir, 1 Sheppard&Weir, 1 Sheppard, 2 McKay&Beckett, 1 Ronon&McKay, 1 Weir&Beckett, 11 Beckett)

As always, let me know what you think and feel free to snurch if you so desire.

I was thinking that I'd like to have all of my icons in one central post. So, I'm creating this post.

I'll post any new icons in a separate and new post, like I've been doing already. Then, at some point, I'll put them into this one. Kind of like a gathering place for all my icons. :) Which, I think will be grouped by show just to make things easier.


So Far the breakdown of icons is like this:
4 - Criminal Minds (1 Gideon, 1 Reid, 1 Morgan, 1 Garcia)
15 - Numb3rs  (7 Don, 4 Charlie, 3 Don&Alan, 1 Don&Charile&Alan)
9 - General Hospital (7 Coop&Maxie, 2 for actor Jason Gerhardt who plays Coop)
10 - Grey's Anatomy (8 Addison, 2 Callie)
13 - Prison Break (3 Wentwroth from non-pb pics, 8 Michael, 2 Linc&Michael)
8 - Farscape (2 Crichton, 6 John&Aeryn)
2 - Stargate SG1 (2 Cam)
66 - Stargate Atlantis  (1 Teyla, 1 Michael, 12 Weir, 1 Sheppard&Weir, 1 Sheppard, 5 Ronon&Teyla, 7 Ronon, 1 Ronon&Beckett, 30 Beckett, 1 McKay, 5 Beckett&McKay, 1 Ronon&McKay)

*special thanks and credit to dllmzca, from GW, for all of his wonderful Beckett caps and for allowing me to use them.

*if you'd like an icon re-sized for use in a forum, or something, let me know. I'm more than happy to resize it for you.

*comments more than welcome. i'd love to hear what you think of the icons!

So, I definitely meant to post in here again before now. The time has just slipped away from me though. Probably because I've been icon-ing it up! I've made sooo many icons in the last few days it's crazy (58 to be exact).

3 - Criminal Minds (1 Gideon, 1 Reid & 1 Morgan)
9 - General Hospital (7 Coop&Maxie, 2 for actor Jason Gerhardt who plays Coop)
6 - Grey's Anatomy (4 Addison, 2 Callie)
