More Finales

I've managed to get a bit more work done today and I'm almost half way through my text processing module notes now. These holidays seem to be presenting a real struggle to find the level of concentration needed to do any work at all and I don't suppose I'm helping that by not getting out of bed until midday but I'm blaming that on forgetting to pack my alarm clock rather than laziness.

This week sees the end of pretty much every TV (and radio) show I've written about in the past six months or so and all I have to do now is keep my fingers crossed that the Beeb (or someone else) will find some more quality programming to replace what has been lost. Tonight sees the end of the very short run that is/was Paradox. After last weeks horrific events, it all gets too much for Christian who runs away to the Moors. This time round, there are a lot more images and they have a lot less time to work out what they mean. They end up with about four or five hours to decipher the clues which lead them to a gang of youths who plan to kill a physics teacher at their school. For the first 3/4 of the episode they are on completely the wrong lines and Ben ends up going after the wrong brother - who just happens to be linked with his daughter. Callum becomes obsessed with finding Stuart Taylor - the violent rapist - who (Callum believes) raped and killed Sonya (the nail bar woman). He ends up taking matters into his own hands when he cannot prove that Stuart is guilty and convinces himself that God wants him to kill Stuart, which he does. There was somewhat of a Waterloo road reunion to this episode, Chloe played Ben's daughter and Earl played a gang member - apparently already being typecast as a violent youth and not only that but the subject matter could have been plucked right from the Waterloo Road book. The series concludes with Rebecca and Christian having saved everyone from the gun attack although Christian appears to be have been shot and is presumed dead. There is the assumption that the series will return next year when a preview of what is to come shows the computer in the lab receiving not pictures, but a audio message this time.
