Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale


Merlin season 4 finale, "The Sword in the Stone, Part 2." Just like the fifth series finale, I really liked this episode up until the end. Unlike a lot of people, I really didn't have a huge problem with Merlin assisting Arthur getting the sword out. Though it was indicitive of a huge problem, that continued right up until the end of not really letting Arthur having his own real victories. But what I really hated about the ending was after basically a season long wait, we finally get a Morgana/Arthur confrontation and it lasts for 2.5 seconds. Then we have Arthur deciding to forgive Gwen (and yes the audience knew she wasn't really guilty) for cheating because some chick he barely knew died. Yes, it was very, very sad but it was stupid, cheap reasoning to resolve the Gwen/Arthur plot. The ending was severely rushed. All that melodrama and Isolde dies, Arthur proposes, and Gwen's being coronated in the blink of an eye. And then they put the cherry on the cake of WTFery by having Aithusa randomly saving Morgana. And *SPOILER ALERT for season 5* if you were expecting that plot to be explained, it never really is the next season.

Day 27 - Best pilot episode

I think I'll go with Once Upon A Time. I was basically intrigued by the premise immediately, but the first episode grabbed me immediately and I found the whole story fascinating and really liked some of the characters and wanted to know what was going to happen next. I find it immensely re-watchable.

Day 28 - First TV show obsession

ABC Daytime soaps All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital. My mom used to watch her shows all the time, and of course as a little kid I wasn't interested, but had to watch it sometimes with her. One day, I was about five or six, I just really started paying attention and being really intrigued when this lady, I think I'm remembering it right, got trapped in a shower. After that I started actually watching it with her and have never really stopped. I would always watch them off and on because of school, and we didn't have a VCR yet. I think the first time I truly became obsessed with it was when I was a pre-teen and there was this teen couple Brian and Hayley on AMC that I just fell for. I thought he was the cutest guy ever. I rushed home from school to try and catch their episodes.

Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Day 30 - Saddest character death.

I did something similar before series 4 aired here in America. I hadn't really watched the third series because I'd heard some bad things about it. But I heard and saw some clips from series 4 and got excited about the show again. So I did a marathon of the whole show. I think their lack of follow through and resolution was really at its worst in series 4. And yet somehow that's still my favorite series.
