Heroes - Auskar - 11-16-2007

It was a brilliant deduction, not based on spoilers at all.
So, now I'm waiting. Will Adam be a good guy or a bad guy?
I do wish Syler was dead, though (or whatever his name is).

That made me beam, reading your thoughts on the show. Ain't it great??
A lot of people haven't been liking the new season, but I think it holds up well--now that all the characters and plot have been really laid out, it's time to kick up the tension (and boy, there's plenty of it).
This, along with LOST and Veronica Mars (although that's been put on hiatus--I don't want to think of it as being cancelled, not yet!), is one of the few things I'll regularly watch on TV.

I may have to check the show out. I keep hearing about it.
At the Genesis concert at the Hollywood Bowl on October 13, Greg Grunberg came down to the box I was in to talk to the people sitting directly in front of me. Because I don't watch the show, I had no idea who he was, or even that he was a celebrity. A friend leaned over and told me he was on "Heroes". Otherwise I would never have known. He seemed like a nice guy.

I mean, you only see them through a glass screen inside a box. Usually, the guys are shorter and skinnier than you would think, the women are more made up on television than they are in public, and its "just enough" different that you don't immediately recognize them.
Or else I'm just really lousy with faces and names (which is also true).

I didn't even think that. Since I don't watch the show, I had never seen him before. Actually, that may not be true. I suppose I could've seen him in something else that I don't know about. Either way, he was just "some guy" to me.

And next week on Heroes...

Prepare to die."

I thought this last episode was really good. I had been a bit disappointed in Season 2 up until now, though. But I think it is parallelling Season 1 in that the first several episodes were somewhat vague and began to get frustrating (at least according to the people I know who watch) but then it picked up speed and began answering the questions.

Missed you.
Second, I tend to agree, although I thought the last two episodes were well done too.
Third, the new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a good article from one of the writers of the show and what went wrong. Well thought out, articulate and observant.

I'm a fan of the new season, but agree it has takin a little longer to progress.
My only gripe with the show is the acting isn't great. Watching this show since day one I can say that what the acting may lack the plot makes up for. If I were to compare though, I would definitly give Lost the upper hand, even though half the episodes you are scrambling trying to put pieces of a puzzle together.
