After watching this week’s episode of Heroes last night, does anyone else see Sylar totally going off next week? I see LOTS of dead agents next week. LOL.

ER needed to end 3 years ago. I couldn’t care less that Clooney is going to be back. I’d sooner watch a rerun of Mythbusters.

Its strange that they are releasing Caprica on DVD first. At least we get to watch it sooner.

I am going to re-watch the Dollhouse eps so I can see Alpha in the background. I’m looking forward to seeing Wash play Alpha as well.

YES! Tin Man as a series?! That’s awesome.

Heroes used to be my #1 fave show. I was always SO excited to watch it, couldn’t wait! Now…I still like it but it’s def not #1 anymore. Sylar is the only one I really give a crap about.

Wow, is Clooney full of himself or what?

I know he’s not the only hollywood celebrity that do that, but you all know my opinion about the majority of hollywood celebs regarding their off-camera personalities…

No worries. Part of me was itching to know. So now the temptation to look is no longer there.

Darn. I didn’t want to spoil myself as to who plays Alpha yet.

24 is amazing, but heroes for the first time in two years is decent as well.

As for the Caprica DVD, that’s just the 2 hour pilot I’m assuming, not the first season. So it’s basically a straight-to-DVD movie.

I keep telling myself I’m gonna watch Heroes, but things keep gettin’ in my way.

As it is, I catch up on Burn Notice on Hulu.

I’m gonna have to make time somewhere to do a catch up marathon!

I once LOVED Heroes. I still want to love it , I’m really really trying to love it.
This season is definitely an improvement over the previous one BUT I grow weary of certain things. That show needs to ease off on the use of , what I consider to be , tiresome cliche’ .
Firstly , I know its a comic book tradition that popular or even
semi-popular characters NEVER stay dead for very long. So , stop killing off characters only to bring them back in another episode ( or even the same episode -yeeesh!!!!! ).
Secondly ( is that a word ? )Please please please enough with the flashbacks already!!!!!!!!!
I am soooooooooo f***king bored with flashbacks!!!!!!!
three weeks ago !!! two days ago !!! 5 hours ago !!!!
How about some story telling in the present tense??? How about some real time plot development ??
Am I being unreasonable??
I don’t know who is really in charge over the house of Heroes. Is it producers ? Is it bean counters with thoughts of profit projections dancing in there heads ? Is it even Tim Kring ? ( is that his name ? )
It sure doesn’t feel like a comic book fan has anything to do with shaping of that show , not anymore at least.

I still want this show to do well , I still want it to be fun.
I’m not giving up hope yet

I totally think that Heroes is getting spanked by “24.” “24″ is by FAR the best show on TV right now, IMO. I am also enjoying Heroes, but I DVR it and watch it on Tuesday nights. Personally, I think NBC was stupid to put Heroes up against “24.” People have been chomping at the bit for a new season of “24″ since it was cancelled due to the writer’s strike last year. Add that to the fact that the last season of Heroes was mediocre it’s almost like NBC want Heroes to fail.

As for The CW lineup, except for Smallville, the rest of that looks like what needs to be flushed down the toilet.

I think that Heroes is getting really great again, but the public perception is that it’s not good. That will hurt it.

I have to say that Dollhouse Episode 2 really impressed me. This show could be great if given a chance to develop.

You know,I am kind of dissapointed that we have so many reality shows now that we use phrases like “The Number One scripted show”
Just not a reality fan.
Great report as usual Bruce.
