First off-- Mary, you should be able to find the season finale somewhere, maybe on Hulu or if you're willing to pay for it, Google Play, iTunes or even Amazon. Non pay option, possibly on Youtube, as I've been able to find some past episodes of Third Watch there. Broken up into segments, but watchable.
Second. Michael seems to be a troll. My advice is simply not to bother with replying to him. You see these types in different places around the web. Attention, even bad is enough for them.
Simply allow him to state his opinions as is his right.. and let it go at that.
(since my last post was cut) I do like the Arestoos (spelling correct?) and Cam story. It's romantic and adorable. The scenes with Cam worrying for him were simply outstanding. They were enough to give us a sense of the couple's connection without us viewing it. Wonderful job on Tamara Taylor's part.
Let's hope the next story arc is done better. Oh, and if they go back and erase the mess they created with Booth's mom, that would be good too. That whole episode just didn't ring true enough.
I'm with those who are tired of Pelant. He's boring to me. I don't believe it's been excellent writing at all this season. Certain episodes have been good, don't misunderstand me. I still have much love for the show. But, at best, the writing has been wobbly. If that makes any sense.
I recently went on a Bones marathon from the beginning, with a more critical eye. The writing seemed "tighter" in the earlier years compared to now.
Now. I love Emily, and I'm so happy she had a baby. But that did have a major impact on the current state of things. I believe it made them go somewhere they weren't quite ready to go. But the situation had to be addressed in character.
I'd like to see Eric M. come back at some point as Zack. I don't know how they'd explain it, but I really do miss him as part of the core cast.
And if I never see Daisy again, that would be excellent.

Walter makes a good point. NCIS LA has introduced Owen Granger as Assistant Director.
Are the two writing staffs not speaking to each other for story line continuity?
"Cam's new BF isn't totally new, but "someone fans will recognize" ... Booth's mom will appear in the second half of the 2012-13 season ... We may also meet a Hodgins sibling."
Hodgins has stated at least twice that he's the last Hodgins left. So a sibling? Unless they can go back and pull those words back, it's a bad idea story wise.
Hopefully, this is just Sorkin working out the kinks. I can't imagine you'd find these women in an actual newsroom. Especially not running one. As much as I adore Aaron, I do hope he gets his groove and quick. These wishy washy characters are not getting anywhere near the bullseye here.
I do not watch 1/2 hour shows at all. So the comedies are of little concern to me. Miami, not sad to see it go. LOVE that they are renewing NY! It's the best of the franchise now. The "original" CSI, I gave up watching years ago. When Grissom left.
Wish they had kept Unforgettable. I think they could've gotten a lot of mileage out of it.
I'm sorry, but really? Everyone is shocked about the low ratings? It went on a FOUR week hiatus! People found other things to do on a Friday night.
I'm hoping beyond hope that this won't be the last season of Fringe, but Fox tends to ditch the good shows, especially ones that the ratings are less than stellar on. Just check in with Joss Wheadon on that score.
And for part 2 of the review...
The cliffhanger part and how they got out of it. I had no problems with the way it happened. I think anymore would've been .. too much. Less wouldn't have been worthy. You knew they would never kill off Castle or Beckett. That was a given. But, if you don't think about that while you're watching, it was still pretty intense.
I'm not sad there was no Gates. She's not clicking with the rest of the cast at all. So. No love loss there.
It was another great episode. Certainly not the worse. Not as good as Castle pulling all the wires from a bomb, but still pretty good.
OMG. I can't believe all of you aren't just curious as hell about the identity of Castle's father now!
Horrible thought: He's the guy pulling the strings that led to Kate's mothers death.
Possible idea: It's the mystery man who contacted Castle about keeping Kate out of looking into things. Who could be involved with or was involved with the CIA at some point.
You know the writers will come back to this. That was their opening salvo about the subject.
The "missing Grace" highlighted how incredibly awesome Julianna is. That slow rising panic of seeing that many calls coming in from her daughter, hearing a strange voice mail.. not being able to locate her, no one knowing where she is.. and then the one that pushed her over.. Grace got into a car with a guy that no one knew. She played it perfectly.
Even if the plot was contrived or rang false, Julianna was dead on perfect. I adore that woman. :)
I do like that Gibbs is the teams de facto "dad". They trust him with everything. He's the one they go to with problems. An amazing thing when you consider how little Gibbs actually says. :)
The scene at the end with Tony and Gibbs was touching. I did not expect DiNozzo senior to be there. So that was a nice surprise.
