I spent last week in Colorado visiting my parents. The drive out and the drive back took away two days that I usually have to work on PackRat. I did get a little work done on PackRat, but I’m not ready to release anything. Maybe next weekend.

I went to a Rockies game and saw my Dodgers beat the Rockies 3-2, thanks to a game winning hit by Nomar Garciaparra. And tonight is the series finale of Alias. Should be good. I think we actually met Milo Rambaldi last week.

Too bad it’s down to its last two episodes. This last episodes constraint has got the writers back in shape. I always loved season one where Sydney was a double agent. It’s is rarely portrayed and it creates so much drama and tension. When SD-6 was destroyed, that all went away. Well, now it’s back for the last few episodes. Sydney is going under cover again and if you thought being a double agent was complicated, try this. Sydney is pretending to be Anna Espinosa who was pretending to be Sydney. It’s awesome baby!

As most of my friends know, Alias is my favorite show. It hasn’t been great the last few years but I still get a kick out of it. The first episode in ages is coming out next week and I’m getting excited. Nothing excites me more on TV than seeing an Alias promo or the start of another episode. Hopefully, the writers have done their job and Alias will have a proper finish to its run. I will always remember Season 1 as simply my favorite show ever.

Sydney! Run!

and wait for me

The West Wing is one of my favorite shows and is in its last season. I’m really enjoying it. Tonight is the election night on the show. I predict Santos will win. I’m also looking forward to seeing Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe’s character) again. The West Wing lost a little when he went away. I don’t know if he is on tonight, but he will be in some upcoming episode.

Alias struck again with one of its patented season ending cliff hangers. This one could be the most interesting if the writers do a good job. I would like to see Alias go back to its roots with showing conflict between Sydney’s social life and secret life. Maybe, with Jennifer Garner supposedly pregnant (No!), the writers will be forced to do some better writing.

I really enjoy NCIS but I don’t watch every show. I’ve been watching Sex & the City on TBS because I never got to see it on HBO. And I hadn’t read any articles about the show’s season finale. So with Sex and the City over, I was able to watch the show. I didn’t even know it was the finale. I started watching the show because of the lovely Sasha Alexander who plays Agent Todd. Then I grew to enjoy the dynamic between her character and Agent Dinozzo. So, it was with total shock and sadness that I experienced the final seconds of the finale. Those bastards! And I’m not talking about the terrorists. I’m talking about the genius at CBS who decided to kill off one of the most enjoyable (not to mention beautiful) characters on TV. Not only that, but they’ve now ended one of the most fun relationships on TV. And like me there are probably a lot of men out there who are no longer going to watch. We’ll move onto the next thing Sasha Alexander is in.

I saw the season finale for 24 last night. I am continually amazed at how the writers have kept the intensity of that show going for a whole season, let alone 4. Every episode is intense and has you on the edge of your seat. If only Alias could have done the same thing. Most shows fall off, but 24 has been consistently good.
