Hereos

I don't watch I lot of network TV (I know, everyone says that). My wife had been bugging me to watch this show all last season but each time I gave it a shot I just couldn't get behind it. Debbie would try to explain, "well that guy, he can absorb other people powers, and he can bend time."

... Okay?

Debbie also suggested I should try watching Lost the year before. That show I did give a fair shake but, I have to say, I hate Lost. The show stinks. I could get into all the reasons why I dislike the show (which will likely prompt the, "You f------ suck, man - LOST ROCKS!!!" type of reply - that is assuming anyone reads this), but the main reason I can't enjoy the show is how much I dislike it's principle characters: a pompous boy-scout doctor, a pretentious barbie whom I'm supposed to believe actually killed someone, and a self-righteous punk. And, I'm supposed to care what happens to these people?

Well, Heroes came out in DVD a bit ago and I took advantage of the situation to begin renting the disks from the video store. I've got to say, the thing has got me hooked. I've just finished off disk five - the first eighteen episodes down now - and plan on picking up the final episodes tomorrow. Very enjoyable, believable, characters and a well paced plot. Lost should be taking notes.
