The endings to these shows have really been extraordinary. Los Vegas and NCSI finals floored me. Was surprised how "involved" I was with the characters. After all, it's pretend.

Great show this week! Interesting article, too. I hope that new tax amendment (?something about no tax breaks for TV shows that film here?) I heard something about this week doesn't chase them out of state/country.
