Random Acts of Ali Larter: Achieving Name-Check Status

The first season cast of Heroes

This week, Ali Larter has mostly been achieving name-check status on The Office thanks to Obsessed:

But she’s also been off shooting something – a short film possibly involving food or drink for Absolut – with Amanda De Cadenet for five days in one of the most famous houses in Los Angeles.

As if that weren’t enough, she’s also joined up with all the other members of the Heroes cast to send a farewell message to fans:

Heroes started as a story about ordinary people that tapped into the dreams and fears in all of us. It made us believe, and it inspired and entertained us on so many levels. I remember reading the pilot, and you just new it was something special. Being so drawn to Nikki… She felt so bare and daring at the same time. I felt so lucky to work with such a talented cast and crew. They always cared about the work, and always wanted to make an environment where we could soar creatively. Heroes pushed me, challenged me, and gave me some of the greatest rewards in my life. Friends and memories that I will cherish forever. There is one reason that we had that chance, and it is because of the undying support of out true fans. For that, I am forever grateful. xx, Ali

Nice.

But what am I going to watch instead of Heroes now?

Question of the week: which TV show has had the best finale?

So, it’s finale time in the US. Various shows have already aired their finales (Smallville, Supernatural, Gossip Girl) while others are still to come (Chuck). However, some of these finales are going to be series finales, rather than season finales (Lost, 24). There’s not going to be any of these shows, so the writers are going to have to find a way to complete their stories.

Trouble is, a lot of shows when placed in such situations come up with endings that almost no one liked (Life on Mars US, The Sopranos, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise), maybe kind of liked (Battlestar Galactica) or that didn’t really finish off the stories at all (Rome, Quantum Leap). There are very few that almost everyone liked and more or less finished the narrative (Sex and the City – until the movies, of course; Star Trek: The Next Generation).

So this week’s question is

Which TV show has had the best ever final episode?
