  Count Donkula From Punchstonia Sorry no post yesterday,  but it was like my Tisha B'Av.  Angel came to a close as well as Smallville,  and I almost died.  I know I say I almost died a lot,  but this time I really almost died.  This time I mean it,  I could've been injured badly if not for my cat like reflexes and my brobdignagian mental capacity.
 I was scared I might limp away from this one.  It was bad.  Sorta.  At the very least it was scary.  I was embarking upon the trecherous journey from my humble abode to Lord McDonald's castle,  when,  betwixt the Haskell and Harper passes,  a mechanical chariot arose on my tail end with a furious speed,  I was sure the beast would collide with my own chariot but I sped up at the last second and he began to slow down.  Then he caromed off the side of the bridge and began to swerve wildly,  I though for sure the Devil had possessed this once tame fellow.
 I sped the fuck up and and cut some dude off so he would be between me and crazy.  It was fucking scary.  Anyway,  it was probably just Jared Fire,  all drunk again.  Angel ending bothers me more than Buffy or Firefly ending.  It was a better show and I was more invested in it,  but moreover it was the last Joss Whedon show on TV.  I can't imagine a new season of TV later this year with no Whedon enterprise.  It's not healthy and it's not right.
 Firefly got the worst of all the shows,  it had the potential to be better than Buffy or Angel and it got canned after a season,  whereas,  Angel at least had the benefit of 5 seasons to develop.  I don't claim to know how Hollywood works,  but I can tell you I will never respect them.  Grant and I have been working on a script for 5 years,  it's mostly a pipedream,  but if it ever sells I will never again stop washing my hands or begging the Lord's forgiveness.
 This season of Smallville kicked the other two season's asses.  They moved away from the freak- of- the- week method and had continual plot lines throughout the season.  The season finale was,  I think,  the best of the three season finales.  It was very similar to the ending of Angel Season 3,  ( the one where Cordelia gets called up to heaven,  Angel gets sent to the bottom of the ocean in a steel box,
 Lorne heads to Vegas,  Wesley is in exile and the only people left to hold the fort are Gunn and Winifred)  in that Lana goes to Paris,  Pete heads to Wichita ( aww yeah.  with his Mom,  Lionel is in Prison,  Lex and Clark are done being friends,  Mr.  Kent might be dead,  Chloe and her Dad are most likely dead,  Clark goes into space ( maybe -  I'm not really clear on this)  and Martha Kent is the only one left.
 I love those season finales where it ends and you go " What The Fuck!  How are they going to recover from this chain of events?  or,  you know,  something like that.  It makes the wait until the next season more excrutiating.  Anyway I have some Soprano's Season 2 and Six Feet Under Season 1 to watch,  so,  peace.  I like TV,  what?  Fucking facists!
