New Spoiler Alert! Dissects the Homeland, Dexter and Gossip Finales, Sizes Up New Grey's Cast! Plus: Once Upon a Time's Hook Is In For a Shock

Gossip Girl had a really good finale. I’m not going to pick at the reveal about Dan. It worked for me! And Dorota definitely would have been a boring answer that was very OOC–because why would Dorota even do any of that stuff? At least Dan would generally have had decent reasons. Anyway, I will miss the show.

As for Grey’s, Alex has become a horrible character. TPTB don’t seem to have any idea of what to do with him. Meredith and Derek are still interesting, and Cristina/Owen could end up as anything. They have so much to work through. Lots of drama there. I hope Ben and Bailey get that great wedding when the show returns. Poor Adele…

Its Kaddish. The Mourner’s Kaddish

I had to stop watching this after Micheal said, “I’m not buying Hannah’s confession. How did Deb not poision her own drink?” That statement is moronic. I’m sorry.

I love Spoiler Alert Theater! It’s always so much fun. I completely agree on the Hannah thing. Deb totally poisoned her own drink, and for whatever reason, Hannah doesn’t feel like pushing the issue with Dexter. She is probably still really pissed he turned her in and figures what’s the point.

I did recognize that Saul wasn’t speaking Arabic when I watched Homeland. My job deals with a lot of different languages and while I don’t need to be fluent in anything, I need to at least have some recognition of languages. I could tell it was the Hebrew language or something very closely related to Hebrew. Plus I think the show has told us before that Saul is Jewish and I remembered that. But I don’t think it means Saul can’t be the mole because he was saying a prayer over all those people. I still think there’s a good chance it could be him. There could be a lot of circumstances going into it, like maybe he is being forced to do it. Plus at this point in the show, I believe they can make characters who have a love for humanity, but still participate in terrible things like terrorist acts for whatever personal reasons they have to do so. And I don’t believe the mole could end up being someone we don’t like or know, because that would be the easy way out for the show to take. It has to be someone we love and care about to make the impact as devastating as possible when we do learn the identity of the mole. But it could all be a red herring. I have to wonder if the writers have even made a decision on who the mole will be and are just trying to keep their options open at this point. Also, I have to believe Carrie and Brody are going to see each other again. I think at some point next season they will find him and bring him back to the states as an arrested terrorist, and then the stakes are really going to go up for Carrie to prove his innocence.

The thing that I’m sort of loving about Dan = GG is this: Dan is mos def the biggest douche in the universe, with the constantly being so darn judgey and whatnot, and it’s honestly disturbing that he’d more or less stalk his friends for six years and lie to them the entire time and likely an indicator of some kind of personality disorder…HOWEVER, when you look at it from a “GG is, in large part, about the scheming,” it’s a GREAT scheme. The best scheme that they have ever had, which is really why Blair is so huffy about it in the end. I mean, all of these people (with the exception of darling, dopey Nate) are pretty terrible. It’s like Blair says to Jenny in the first season – “Game recognizes game.” And from that perspective, Dan had some rock solid game (if we’re going to just suspend disbelief and accept him as GG, of course).

Did anyone else notice Chuck saying “I love you” to Blair just as they come out of the dip/kiss at their wedding? Soooo cute! And just looked so perfect and natural. Best TV couple ever!
