The End of Life

Not mine but the tv series. All I can say about the show was said today on Ben's site, 'The Dragon Dancing With the Buddha' so check out his take on the show here -(http://varkentine.blogspot.com/2009/05/it-was-never-actually-on-air-just-more.html)

I never do this but I copied my own comment about his post and I think it sums up my take on the show pretty well too. Thank the gods for insuring that for every program like LIFE and THE WIRE we lose, a show like BURN NOTICE comes around.

I totally agree with you. I came late to the series but that allowed me to watch many episodes from the start in progression without the week delays between episodes. I did the same thing with the wire and it was a much richer experience seen from the whole as opposed to the individual parts. The ending was one of the most satifying viewing experiences I have seen in a long time. For all of Charlie's talk about Zen his solution to his most pressing problem was a simple exercise in living fully in the moment for all of the ten seconds it took to set him free. Brilliant and pitch perfect. I will miss this show too but have faith that in a world that didn't have LIFE at one time will create something else for me to love by those who actually care about feeding our souls something more than the pap that is, say, an AMERICAN IDOL.
