I will go on vacation. Even if I feel like I’ve been dragged behind a truck when I get there. I’m fairly exhausted, and I just need some time to just sit around with no responsibilities and worries and just chill out. Old Home, here I come.

It’s amazing to me that two of the shows I’ve been the most invested in this year had finales that totally were the opposite of their seasons. “Heroes” had a season that was fun and full of adventure, mystery and super-hero pride, and a finale that did everything to distance itself from those things. A build-up to a final conflict that lasted maybe fifteen minutes and could’ve been, should’ve been, a massive super-powers smackdown. No such. Little resolution of Nikki/Jessica, no resolution for Mama Petrelli and Sulu (okay, so they have powers…and they would be?) and strangely, the return of the boring Mohinder voice-overs.

“Lost” had a shaky season, with a lot of weird “Where are they going?” moments, the amazing expendable Nikki and Paolo, favorites that fell in and out of the show, and little to no mythology. Then the last few episodes ratchet everything up to a groin-destroying premise explosion that’s going to have everyone (myself included) screaming WTF until January when the show comes back. For 16 episodes. Puke.

I’m still big on both shows, but it will be interesting to see who stands up next season. Thus far, there isn’t a single new show that grabs my attention, and none of the shows (except for “Rescue Me” and “Big Love”, of course) this summer look at all interesting. I’m filling my time now with “Attack of the Show” and “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.”

When we come back I’m going to try to have a renewed vigor towards my personal work, like the afore-mentioned proposed show. I’m still getting interest from people about doing it, and I don’t know exactly how it’s all going to turn out, since we haven’t gotten all of our players together in a room yet. I’ve never been 100% successful when it comes to group work, so it could just be a disaster, but who knows.

I’m looking at everything through the murky haze of “When we get back.” Hopefully, everything will be clearer by then.
