'Greek' Finale: It's the end of the world as they know it

'Greek' Finale: It's the end of the world as they know it

"Greek" returned tonight just in time for spring break with an episode designed to tie up loose ends from last year and spring all of the characters forward for the shenanigans to come this season. Despite all of the talk of change at the beginning, things are pretty much status quo by the end of the hour.

Greek wrapped up its season tonight with a close look at the dreaded Hell Week, with each house having its own twist on the time-honored initiation rite.

Tonight's episode of Greek focused on yet another sorority tradition that I know nothing about: the Crush Party. Unfortunately, a few of our sisters took the word "crush" a bit too literally in their attempt to land a dream date.

Greek kicked off a new season tonight with an episode that was obviously supposed to be a tie-in to the recently concluded Beijing Olympics. Except on this show, the Olympics-esque Greek Week was more like the Olympics if everyone involved in creating, judging and participating in the events was completely drunk. U-S-A! U-S-A! (Or should I be saying Z-B-Z?)

Seeing as tonight's Greek finale featured the music of American Bang, you would expect them to go out with a bang of their own and throw a cliffhanger ending at us. Instead they went for a quieter approach, wrapping up some lingering story threads while introducing a few interesting things for next season.

LSAT pop quiz: if you want your girlfriend back but are pretending to only be her friend, while secretly bribing other guys to keep them away from her, how many episodes will pass until she finds out the truth and kicks you out of her life for good?

Sometimes Greek makes me wonder -- what's the point of being someone's "sister" if you hate that person and your entire life is spent trying to make them miserable? Where's the sorority in that?

After last week's stellar episode of Greek, almost anything was bound to be a bit of a letdown. Tonight's installment, while not without its considerable charms, unfortunately had no choice but to pale in comparison.

Avid fans of Greek have long known that the history of the Cappie/Casey/Evan triangle was a complicated one. Tonight, we finally learned why.
