Men In Trees – Taking The Lead

So I must admit. I’m sad and feel a little unfulfilled about the Men In Trees series finale. I mean, if it were just the season finale I’d be fine. I would be patient enough to see next season what Marin and Jack do with the baby and to see if Patrick can win back Annie, but it’s over! That’s it! No more Men in Trees. I feel that I have grown unexpectedly fond of these “Elmo-inians” and I’m really going to miss them every week! In my opinion, ABC made a bad move in canceling the show. Perhaps with more advertisement and a steady schedule, the show would gain many more viewers. I love the action packed dramas as much as anyone, and probably prefer them, but Men In Trees was one of the few shows, that although it wasn’t fast-paced and full of heart-stopping action, it tugged at the heart and got the viewers truly invested in the lives of these great characters. It will definitely be missed by many.

Ok, so let’s talk about the actual finale. Wow, what an ending! Apparently Lynn has returned and dropped off her child as a present to Jack and Marin. The funny thing is, it’s not Jack’s kid, so why would she want to leave her with him and Marin? Of course we’ll never know (sniffle), but one can wonder. The talent show was a nice touch as everyone performed their extremely embarrassing routines. And please allow me to take this opportunity to tell everyone that, although I pretty much enjoy all the Men In Trees characters, there is one in particular that I hate – Celia. She is by far the worst and most annoying character on the show, and I’m not thrilled with Cynthia Stevenson as an actress either. She is cold, cruel, and above all, boring, and I sure won’t miss her on my TV screen next fall.

Ohhhh and poor Patrick. I feel soooo bad for him. I really can’t believe Annie. After months of desperately wanting him back, she spends a few days with Ivan and suddenly has no interest in Patrick anymore!? Uh….that’s a little unrealistic. I mean, I understand why Annie likes Ivan…he’s more attractive than Patrick and a lot less goofy. But then again, Annie is goofy and not so attractive, so there you go: Patrick and Annie belong together. Haha, I’m kidding, sort of. And ok, I know they are very different than each other, but I really like Jane and Sam. They win for cutest couple. Haha. I love the way they work out their polar differences and still love each other in the end.

Ok, so in closing, I have one question. What the heck happened to Cash? Did I miss something where he left town, because he’s been MIA since his operation. It would have been nice to see him in the finale.

Ok, well anyway, this blog is less about what I have to say and more about what you have to say, so please, leave your comments and let us know what you’re thinking. And be sure to come back on Tuesday where we talk about what happens with that crazy Bachelorette and her boys. Also on Tuesday, we discuss the results of week 3 of the Mole. Have a great week everybody!  And good-bye Elmo!
