2011-2012 Season Wrap-Ups, part one: Nikita

Did I really just let a television season end more than a month ago without saying anything about it? Yes, yes, I did, an indication of just how much Sekkrit Project, some health concerns and other issues are getting to me. I'll try to make it up this week. So, to get started:

Nikita

Most satisfying season finale: Nikita, apparently because the show understandably if incorrectly assumed it was headed for cancellation, and therefore might as well wrap everything up – which it did, only to find that it wasn't cancelled after all. And now you understand the problems with U.S. television.

( Cut for spoilers for the season. )

2011-2012 Season Wrap-Ups, part two: Fringe

Ah, Fringe.

I haven't been writing regularly about Fringe this season because I was usually watching most episodes a week or so late on Hulu, although I made an exception for the last couple of episodes – which in turn reminded me of just why I rarely bother to watch TV live these days. The constant, constant commercials, where you never know just how long a commercial break will be. Oh, you get the commercial breaks on Hulu.com as well, but you can pause the commercials and go do something else if need be, and they are neither so frequent nor so long. But I digress. Anyway.

( Spoilery for season four and the finale. )

2011-2012 Season Wrap-Ups, part three: Castle

....redeemed itself after a lackluster season with a spectacularly improbable season finale with a happy ending. And now that that's been resolved, show, can you return to your silly, mind candy roots and knock off the conspiracy theory stuff? You have no idea how to do it.
