I gotta go Team Gwen. I used to be Team MJ but Gwen has her beat. I'm kinda into Team Felicia but mostly just to see a sexual relationship, not only cos I'm a guy, but I'd like to see what effect it has on Melanie.
But back to the point, in the end I'm total Team Gwen. Loved her from her first appearance and can't wait to see lots more of her and her interactions with Melanie.
Speaking of all this, I'm finally kinda excited for the new Spider-Man movie... I should go read up on it...

I found the finale amazing. It was action packed, emotional, religious while not shoving it down our throats, and just plain great. Some of the logic in the episode is stupid and forced (Getting rid of ALL the technology) it was still a great end to a damn good series.

I'm gonna post a review of the entire season once I finish reading it. I've only just finished episode two and here are my thoughts so far.
The pilot was alright. My biggest problem was the flashbacks and having them set in Metropolis when the series is set in Gotham. The second episode was better and pretty good.
On the positive, I really love the Huntress and Bruce Wayne. They are my favorites right now. Oliver is pretty cool but not a favorite. I know this is gonna get me alot of hate, but I find Chloe is pretty average compared to the rest of the cast. I haven't seen Smallville so I know nothing about her development over there but here she just isn't as exciting as the other three. Sorry...
I'm enjoying it so far, being set in my favorite DC City and everything.

Favorite Season: Season 4 Favorite Character(s): Tom Zarek, Gaius Baltar, Saul Tigh and Felix Gaeta Least Favorite Character(s): Apollo and Laura Roslin Favorite Episode: 4x13 "The Oath" and 4x14 "Blood On The Scales"
Really love this series. Probably the best Sci-Fi series ever made with some of the best and most complex characters on T.V.
My personal favourite storyline has gotta be either the mutiny in "The Oath" and "Blood On The Scales" or the New Caprica storyline.
On New Caprica, it was Oppression vs Terrorism, two concepts that much of the modern world looks down on, making us question whether or not in desperate situations there can be morals or not.
Still haven't seen Caprica or The Plan but I'm gonna eventually, plus one of these days I'm gonna get the original series, see what it was like back then.

Although Sam and Dean are the MAIN characters, Bobby and Castiel are still damn important and really brought the series up to a new level of awesomeness. They are pretty much essential to the series at this point, bringing a average season up a notch.
So yeah, I'm damn pissed Cas isn't a regular next season although he wasn't a regular season 4 and was in a ton of episodes.
A wild idea for next season would be a "Classic Rock Musical" episode. The writers have done crazier so I'm sure they could find a way to do it right.
What do you guys wanna see next season?

Pretty awesome final 3 episodes. Hell of a cliffhanger, seeing a more badass side of Stefan and killing off several characters, one that needed to go. Badly.
I won't say anything about Bonnie, due to my severe hate for her. All the other characters were particuarly good even if Caroline and Tyler were underused. Matt... who really cares? Damon was pretty awesome, Stefan was awesome. Klaus is now one of my favourite villains. Yeah I love this show... besides Bonnie.
Can't wait for next season.

Supernatural - Season 6
Compared to the previous 5 seasons, it wasn't that great. Better than most of the crap on TV, but it didn't have the awesomeness and the humor that Kripke brought to the series. There were several funny episodes sure, but there was also alot of emo or rooding going on as well.
A big problem for this season was the amount of storylines they tried to fit in. On a show like "Vampire Diaries" they could do it because its a show thats focused completey on the story arc. Supernatural on the other hand, is a far more stand-alone based show that has the occasional "arc" episode. With this season they tried to fit in so many storylines and it just became a big mess. Because of this alot of storylines came to a close far sooner than they should have, like the Mother of All.
On the subject of Dean, he became incredibly bland. Very few quotes, very few humorous moments and a ton of blandness. His relationship with Lisa really dragged his character down.
Sam, he was alright. Without a soul, he was awesome. No morals, no holding back. It gave the show some seriously good material. He was the star of the first half of the season. Then he got his soul back, and I really don't remember too much about him.
Castiel and Crowley were the true stars of the season however. Castiels downfall to the dark side and Crowley being Crowley. Whenever there was an episode with them in it, it really felt like Kripke's quality. Balthazar was great, hell, even Meg was more interesting than Dean or Soul-Sam.
That cliff-hanger however, was awesome. The show has just proven that it could possibly top even the Apocalypse and that's awesome.
This season wasn't particarly great. It had a ton of wasted potential and WAY TOO MUCH Brooding and dullness. It had its moments, like that Alternate TV world episode and anything with Castiel and Crowley. Plus a killer Cliffhanger, not the same level of awesome as Season 4's but big enough to be great.
Overall, I give this a 7/10

Finales

What are our favourite and most hated series finales?
Favourite Finale
Angel - Not Fade Away
Perfect. Angel and the Fang Gang go for an all out assault against Wolfram and Harts elite group, the Circle of the Black Thorn. It's a suicide attack and they all know it yet they go for it anyway.
Its a perfect end for an amazing series. Several deaths, emotional moments and the same awesome dialogue we come to expect from Whedon. And that ending... some people didn't like it, but I felt it was the only way the series could have ended. No matter how many enemies they defeat, no matter how hard they fight, there will always be more.
Other ones I like are are Battlestar Galactica - Sundown.
Mixed Feelings
Lost - The End
This finale was pretty awsome...till the final reveal. The on-island stuff was damn good. The off-island stuff was pretty emotional till they revealed what it all was.
I like the finale, but a big answer has polluted the entire final season.
Hated Finale
Buffy - Chosen
Besides the action, this finale was not real good. Buffy preached about freedom yet she forced the Slayer powers onto every single potential across the world. I mean, there was no other choice really but the way it was handled wasn't great.
Secondly, it wasn't really a Buffy episode. It was more about Spike and his redemption, right down to his own personal deus ex machina.
I have alot of issues with this episode but I'm not gonna keep going.

My guess?
Magneto. Or maybe Venom. Who ever it is, I'm excited for.

The obvious one is Melanie/MJ. Apart from that, I don't know. Maybe Iceman/Shadowcat, I liked them in X-Men 3.

Well... I would like to see maybe a quick Thor cameo. No idea how it'd work or if it could even work but I love Thor. Also, X-23. Love her. Just a little cameo for her would be nice as well.

I'm with you there. His whole relationship with Jean really irks me. It's a huge issue in both the movies and the comics. Hate it. But he's still a badass. Only wish they gave other characters a bit more screen time in the movies.

Huge Shadowcat. X-23, Wolverine and Emma Frost fan here. Yeah their my top 4. Can't decide between them. Their all awesome, even if Wolverine can be a little overrated. I mean, there are only a couple of X-Men characters that I don't like and none of them are in your cast, so I'm really gonna love this series.
Really looking forward to seeing Kitty Pryde. She is one of the few reasons I can actually watch X-Men 3. Really excited.

1) John Locke (Lost) - Every group needs a hunter and well... Locke is my choice. He carries a suitcase full of hunting knives as well as having a ton of knowledge about hunting. He may be a little crazy but whatever. Plus he's been on an island before, so yeah...
2) Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) - Somebody to get around the island and in difficult or near impossible areas. Damn good with guns and sporting an English accent. Plus, super hot.
3) Albert Wesker (Resident Evil) - He's so awesome that he doesn't need a reason. And every group needs a bad guy so he'd be it.
4) Heather Mason (Silent Hill) - One of my favourite females in fiction. As well as evening out he number of females, she would also be good for "other reasons...". Plus, if the need arises, someone to populate the island with.
5) Sawyer (Lost) - Every group needs its leader and well, he's mine. He was a great leader in later seasons of Lost and is awesome enough to make the list.

Pretty much everything Jack said. Melanie is one damn good character and seeing deeper layers of her as well as exploring the friendship with MJ would be great. Also, Mystique. Mystique is awesome and would be great to see her character in depth as well.
