All beginnings, have an end

This week is going to be a sort of sad week for me. Two of my all-time long running TV shows are coming to an end.

To start the week off, Stargate Universe will run its series finally tonight. Although Stargate Universe is only in its 2nd season, the Stargate franchise itself has been airing new episodes for the past 14 years, and yes I've seen them all. But to cut off this new series, which was radically different and interesting compared to the old SG1 and Atlantis series, only after two seasons is just such a waste of a great story. I really wanted to see where the series and its characters were headed in their involuntary exploration of the other side of the universe. I guess I'm left wondering.

This Friday also marks the day of the end, of the beginning really. Yes, Smallville's 2 hour series finally is here. After 10 years of watching Clark Kent grow up, he will (I assume) finally accept his destiny and put on his Superman tights and cape, aim for the skies and fly. Gough and Millar the creators of the Smallville series said when it began that Clark would never fly in the series. And to my amazement they stuck to their word on that one (minus a couple episodes where clark was under the influence of different types of kryptonite). His inability to fly represent his fear and insecurities, which must be overcome before he can accept his destiny. I for one am extremely excited to see how this comes about and on the bright side we all know how his story goes on. No cliff hanger here... Or will there be??? We'll find out Friday night!
