Awww yeah, ATA Listeners you're entering the television storm known as ATA Episode 125! I'm your host a playa named Dan Schmidt, here with my cohost Nico Reifsteck whose keeping it smooth like Psych's Burton Guster. And we are hugging you across the airwaves from the fictional former home of WKRP in Cincinnati with our reviews on Season Finales for the majority of our favorite shows…
First off, the hug we are providing you is out of condolence as Once upon a Time delivered a finale where two villains we hate lived on to next season much to the dismay of Andy and Castle presented us with a disappointing finale, which left Nico and I flabbergasted because this is the first time, the writers have truly let us down but why did it have to come at the end of such a great season? Then the purpose of our hug changed from being out of condolence to sheer joy as the Supernatural finale had the Winchesters break their constant cycle of sacrificing themselves for each other giving the show progression for the first time in three years. Speaking of character development The Big Bang Theory finale set up a whole bunch of changes for Sheldon, Penny and most importantly Raj in regards to his love life and the Doctor Who finale delivered a shocking revelation about the Doctor's new companion Clara that you need to see the episode to believe.
In addition, even though I skipped some of the shows we normally cover that doesn't mean they weren't a part of the podcast as they didn't have finale's this week but held their own against them as Luke once again delivered the comedy that makes us love Modern Family, Psych gave Gus his own attempt behind the microphone producing hilarious results and Game of Thrones featured a epic showdown with a full grown bear who was willing to maul anyone in it's way.
Although, that's not the end of the smooth sounds this podcast is ready and willing to deliver as the plan was for us to cover standard episodes of Defiance and Warehouse 13, followed by having Woo join us for our review on the finale for How I Met Your Mother where we after eight long years were finally introduced to the mother but I ended up with a kidney stone (ouch!) which I can assure you is anything but smooth. Anyway to make a long story short, Woo was unfortunately reduced to leaving us a voicemail, a result I feel bad about as I know he was very excited about being a part of this section. I was however able to join Nico and Andy for our review on the finale for Arrow which we called the best finale of the 2012–13 TV Season and gave the show the title of the best new show for this current season. Then Nico brings it all home as he covers the finales for New Girl and Elementary along with much, much more.
