This week saw a lot of season finales for popular shows. No major spoilers.<\/p>\n

CASTLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Richard Castle and Kate Beckett are working together once again on a case. The case is really interesting. It involves secret operatives, deadly games, espionage, hidden motives and a really cool love triangle. You probably know Beckett has been seeing hunky robbery detective Tom Demming and Castle is depressed about it. His daughter will be going away for the summer and so will his mother Martha. Castle <\/a>has a manuscript to finish and a couple he wants to get away from.<\/p>\n

Michael Trucco appears in the last 4 episodes of Castle's 2nd season. I wish he had more episodes. But you can watch <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You may not like everything that happens in this episode, romantically speaking.<\/a><\/p>\n

But as always, the show provides a cool season finale and many more episodes to look forward to.<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

HOUSE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the best season finale ever award goes to House!! House has been going on for 6 years and I am just as addicted to show as I was when I first started. Not all episodes are created equal. Some are inevitably more engaging and some of the cases are more unique. But it is OK. House\u2019s (Hugh Laurie<\/a>) lines and his interactions with other characters and guest stars (patients, etc) is what\u00a0 matters. Some episodes provide more comic relief and some leave us depressed. But it is always good. But if there is an episode to hit you right in the guy and swear you\u2019ll back for the other season is the episode finale. Season 5\u2019s finale was amazing- a great balance between what we wanted to happen and what actually happened. Season 6 us gives us a great case outside the hospital while House multi-tasks with a case at the hospital. And we get all the House-Cuddy confrontations we need. I watched some great finales this season but House\u2019s was the best.<\/p>\n

COUGAR\u00a0 TOWN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really hope this show goes on because its quirkiness and adorably crazy and grumpy and sweet characters, it is a modern comedy that happens to be relevant, funny and interesting all at the same time. Courtney Cox is great and so is the rest of the cast. Andy and Ellie\u2019s baby will really entertain you this time too. It is a nice change for a season finale not to leave the main romance hanging in the air. Jules and Grayson finally hooked up a couple of episodes ago. This episode just has them try to figure out how to tell Bobby\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n

THE MENTALIST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously, Red John strikes again. Or maybe it is a copycat? Actually, there is both the real thing and the copycat and this makes things much more intriguing. Along with Patrick\u2019s (Simon Baker) first date with Kristina, the case(s), and some really stupid mistakes on Kristina\u2019s part will really keep you glued to the screen. This is one of the most intense episodes ever- Simon Baker<\/a> is again at the top of his game. And for those of you who have seen it: I have a pretty good guess on who Red John might be. What do you think?<\/p>\n

GOSSIP GIRL<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Gossip<\/a>

OK, Gossip Girl<\/a> is not an addiction but a guilty curiosity. It is not a show to be watched from beginning to end but rather watch on fast-forward to see what the authors did this time. How much more soap can you add to the opera after all? But this episode might actually the best one yet. Not only I watched more than I usually do but they added a pretty nice cliffhanger to the all the drama and romance and disasters. But please, somebody else make the wardrobe for Blaire. Her clothes are almost often dreadful. And Jenny should put on less make-up. The actress playing her is 16 just like her character. She might age pre-maturely. Just a thought.<\/p>\n

GREY’S ANATOMY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\"Grey's<\/a>

Like Gossip Girl, if I watch Grey\u2019s, it is most often on fast-forward. Or I just play in the background when I am doing something else. It wasn\u2019t always like that. I loved this show during season 1. Than Season 2 was even better. Than they got too soapy and killed off one of my favorite characters. But hey, since this post is dedicated to finales, I thought I should check out Grey\u2019s finale. Grey\u2019s writers are good finales. Yes, they are never ever short of drama, complications, conflicts and emotional confrontations. Actually, they just overdo everything. e<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you remember Dr. Burke? George O\u2019 Malley? Izzie Stevens? Patient Denny Duquette?<\/a><\/p>\n

But finales add action to the drama. There is suicide or murder or attacks\u2026Guns and accidents go overboard, things get out of hand, some characters die and some survive. But this finale just took the action and tension way up:<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember the guy whose wife was unplugged from the machine because she was brain-dead? \u00a0Well, he gets in and kills and shoots more than he had initially planned. Lead or supporting, a lot of characters are endangered, lots of dangerous and risky calls are made and it is safe to say, if this was real life, all the parties involved would need serious therapy.<\/a><\/p>\n

These are my takes on the finales. What are yours?<\/a><\/p>\n

P.S. Desperate Housewives also had a pretty good ending to the 6th<\/sup> season. But I think it had better finales before and did we really need that comeback?<\/a><\/p>\n
