Holy crap!  We just watched the season finale of The Closer more or less in real-time, not wanting to wait for TiVo to spool up. It’s not just a cliff-hanger, it’s a heart-stopper. It amazes me how an ordinary TV cop drama can make viewers care so much… or maybe that’s just good drama, as TNT likes to tout. And good characterization, and good writing, and good plotting, and good direction, and good special effects, and so on. Dammit, they’d better start polishing up a new Emmy, or three.
