Well Ed I'm glad I finally got you on the band wagon.. I just hope its not too late cause now that they are doing some new stuff I don't know if the show will still have that same appeal as before. We'll see this week cause its officially the start of the new stuff, but I'm really gonna miss those opening skits.

So it seems that as always I'm alone on these things and it really sucks for me cause I have no one to talk to about it so today I'm just gonna say whatever I want. I'm not going to spoil anything for you guys just in case you catch up someday but I'm gonna just skim over this topic....

24...

Tonight for the first time in a long time I actually got a wee bit emotional while watching (I'm man enough to admit a drop or two) I think tonight's episode gave us a glimpse of 24's end. I don't think its any surprise to anyone that there is absolutely no way 24 can end on a good note, and by that I mean it will end with Jack Bauer's death. Its just not common sense to finish the show with him riding off into the sunset to live a happy life... its just not a heroic ending, and tonight they subtly reminded us he is indeed a hero. There is a scene where he is changing his shirt and you see his body covered in scars, and as quick as it is, it really reminds me of the shit that's gone on. Yes I know this is a TV show and he is not real, but I'm the same person that Idolizes Superman (go back and reread my posts about the new movie when it came out) so there is a part of me that is still a kid that dreams of heroes saving the world, and in this day and age that's JB.

The show has seriously picked up this season. Maybe its my love affair with it that makes me blind, but even so, I think its really back on track. I know Dino and Tara stopped watching so they could do the DVDs at the end of the season, but honestly I think you guys are missing out. As good as it is to watch them all back to back, its really a different beast when you have that dread 10 minutes before the end of each episode knowing you have to wait another week, and then the anticipation watching the recap at the beginning the following week. Its what makes the show what it is, and after tonight's episode I'm feeling a different type of dread... knowing that this season is ending soon and that next season is probably the last...

And with that I lead onto my next tear jerker for the week... this Thursday is the final episode of ER. I've mentioned it before, but this one really does hold a special place in my heart. The last few episodes have really been amazing. Not just for the story lines, but because the people that do ER have really shown some appreciation to their fans. They brought back characters just to give us that final "good bye" and you don't see that on any other show. When a big shot like George Clooney shows up to do really just a sum of 10 mins it reminds me why I've stayed with the show for 15years. I was actually going to drive down to Montreal to watch the finale cause that was our thing Thursday nights but my mother hasn't caught up on all the episodes so I'll be watching it here.

Its funny, it seems my last few posts have all been about these shows I watch or things I do, and really they are pointless. I don't expect anyone to relate to me, or say anything back, but I still keep doing it... Don't know why...

I'll try to be the funny Nelson you all want in the next one... promise.

Peace, Love and HJ's
