NBC Finale Recap

Scrubs: I thought the "cliffhanger" was monumentally stupid, for the reason Jim pointed out. Cliffhangers only work when there's uncertainty over what will happen. And J.D. and Elliot simply can't get together at this stage. It would make both of them thoroughly unlikeable characters for the remainder of the show. And what's the deal with a three-year-old Godfather?

The Office: Really enjoyed this one. Although the Jim-Pam dynamic was fairly predictable, the payoff was still fulfilling because the writers have done such a good job setting up the story arc for three seasons. Also, the job interview scenes were really funny. This season's Office cast has my favorite of any TV show for at least the past five years, with the addition of Andy putting it over the top.

Heroes: Reminded me of The Fantastic Four (which I enjoyed more than some people), in that the climax was far too rushed. It seemed like everything was thrown together in the big fight scene, and all of a sudden it was over. Still, the final scene (Hiro's time travel) did a fantastic job of setting the stage for the next season.
