Heroes



So if you guys don't watch Heroes, you really should start. Of course since the season finale was yesterday you won't be catching any new episodes anytime soon. Gives you plenty of time to catch up on last season though before Season 2 starts. I've got the last 5 or 6 episodes recorded on my tivo-esque computer if you want them (High-Def). While I won't advocate thievery there are other places to find the rest of the season. And of course come August you'll be able to buy the whole season.

My only worry is that Season 2 will turn into a total fuckin waste the way Lost did. I though Lost was the greatest tv show ever after Season 1, then Season 2 comes around and all we do is punch numbers into a fuckin Apple IIe down in the hatch for 14 fuckin episodes while watching lame flashbacks every other second about what pussies they all were before they were on the island. WTF! There should be a 1 death / 3 episode rule on that island just so we have to keep guessing who will survive. Luckily that shit is getting canned in 3 more seasons, so with an end-date in sight they claim they can stop wasting episodes on nothing and start paying out the real reveals about what the fuck is going on.

So that brings me to why Heroes is actually sweet. Unlike cock-tease Lost, Heroes actually pays out real answers shortly after posing awesome questions. At most you're looking at 2 to 3 episodes of suspense. Not like Lost where I still don't know where that fuckin polar bear came from in episode 1 or 2. Amazingly, the season finale posed no real cliffhanger. They just neatly wrapped up all the lose ends from season 1 and gave a couple small hints at where season 2 is going, but no real "OMG i feel like i only watch half an episode" ending that blue-balls you for the next 5 months. So that's it, watch Heroes, enjoy.

I concur that Heroes is pretty sweet. I was watching it from the start and then I moved to this backwards country. They are about 5 episodes from the finale it seems. You can watch all the episodes on nbc.com too, but they block me since I have a foreign IP. I guess I'll just have less time from when they finish here to when they start back up when I get home.
