THAT'S OK--I LIED TOO: Given its subject matter, it's kind of surprising we haven't blogged more about Damages--probably because it gets lost on Wednesdays with Lost and Idol taking priority. I haven't watched last night's season finale yet, but there were quite a few loose ends to be tied up, and while the first season did a fine job of tying off most of the over-complicated loose ends and spinning the show in a different direction for Season 2, I lack some faith this time, with characters randomly hooking up, failed murder attempts, bizarre casting (Darrell Hammond as an emotionless, psychopathic, assassin named "The Deacon?"), and Rose Byrne's desperate need for something to eat.
However, for sheer ludicrousness, I think it's going to be tough to beat Life On Mars, which I gave up on after the pilot, but Wiki has the spoiler for how it all ended and why exactly Det. Sam Tyler was in 1973 (different from the British show), which at least explains why "Major Tom" was played so often.
ETA--updated to reflect a version of Wiki that does contain the spoiler info.
