Heroes.

Ok, we'll start it where i left off in the last post. The GSCC are taking their sweet time about things, but so long as they give me a job at the end of it (and lets face it they'd better, i've had this coming a while now and too many people know about it for it all to just collaspe at the last hurdle), i'm happy.

Heroes season two, or the second volume as they keep reminding us is the proper way to refer to it in "Heroes Unmasked", is now two episodes in on BBC2. Yes, i know, i'm one of the few that actually bothered to wait for it to come to terrestial, but this is partly becuase i kind of like watching things properly (rather than the poorer versions on the web) and also because we have a pitiful download limit of 5GB here at home and 500MB online videos cut through that like a hot knife through butter. Anyway this is the season that everyone has been calling rubbish and although i can see why, (there isn't the definiate objective of "save the cheerleader, save the world"), i still like it. I'd like it more if they focused more on Hiro, who is by far the most likeable and compelling character, but then i think the show could get along just fine if it were just about him. Anyway from what i gathered, people who didn't like it kept refering to how it was more "complicated" than the last season and how it was "generally harder to follow". Great! Now we can get rid of the stupids, religate them to buggering off and picking their noses in a corner and enjoy a show with a little depth for a change! And if that means we also get questions that are raised and not answered for a couple of episodes, like in say....i dont know, LOST, then so much the better! As it is only when a TV programme strings out things for season after season that i ever have an issue with it. So as long as Heroes keeps bring me my weekly dose of Hiro Nakamura based fun for a while, i'm happy.

Right then, its back to a world of raising food prices, sprialling fuel costs and governments who take from the poor and give to the rich! What a facinating modern world we live in! Maybe we could do with some real life Heroes?
