A dark week for TV

The week of May 23rd 2010, was a dark week for TV. I'm writing this to complain about it. First, Lost ended on Sunday, then 24 on Monday, then Flash Forward on Thursday. Lost had announced that season six would be its final, so I had time to cry and take some coping classes, but I didn't find out 24 and Flash Forward were going to end until both shows were most of the way through each of their seasons. The people at Fox made a big deal out of the end of 24. Flash Forward however, didn't, when I heard about it, I called all my friends to see if they found out before i did and neither of them had.

Lost was a show about the survivors of a plane crash on a F@#$ed up Island (I can't tell you any more than that because the plot is so complicated it would make skynet short out). 24 was a show that ran for eight seasons about a federal agent named Jack Bauer saving the world. In the first season, he saved his family (spoiler alert!) mostly, in the second season, he saved the world, then he retired, came out of retirement, retired, came out of retirement, went rouge, came back and retired, then un-retired and went rouge again. Flash Forward was a perfect hybrid of the two, it was about an FBI agent named Mark Benford who is assigned to trace the cause of whatever caused every human on the planet to faint and see the future for two minuets and seventeen seconds. It had the military action of 24, and the having no Idea what the f#$% is going on from Lost. So anyway, all three shows had their series finale in one week, and I was devastated. Lost could have kept going for three hundred years with all the LSD induced plot twists, and Flash Forward had recently made a brilliant move to keep the plot moving until 2016. 24 was the only show I thought had a good reason to end; Jack Bauer had run out of disasters to save the world from. All three shows closed with excellent writing, and I'm willing to bet Lost and 24 will be made into movies when I'm 45.
