    I couldn't help myself. I watched it. Tim Kring might've been right in firing Loeb, but he should have at least consulted with JJ Abrams on this season, because Kring clearly has only one or two flavors of intrigue he knows how to cook with and they're obviously unmarked on a shelf of about forty other herbs and spices of suck.

    @The Curse of Millhaven: Oh, I disagree. I was not happy at all with Mad Men last season and this season has totally shaped up. The stories are much more focused and coherent, and the characters seem much more integrated with the outside world than before.

    It's called the rule of three. You give a guy/girl three dates to prove he's worthy. They're out.

    I am feeling so liberated by watching House. Run
    Lola Run AND Booger are on this very special episode. Not much to reccomend it, but enough. BOOGER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???

    I can relate. Mad Men repeatedly rapes me, but I still can play the accordion and sing a song with tears rolling down my cheek.

    Oh wait- that show is good, and Heroes is awful. Never mind.

    And that's why I stopped watching. :P

    You know the main problem with Heroes? None of the characters are actual HEROES! Except maybe Hiro, but he's always stuck somewhere unable to do anything. Look, I'm a comic book guy my whole life, and I like my heroes to be flawed and have their demons and blah blah blah, but you know what? At the end of the day, after all the whining, Spiderman puts on the damned tights and goes to kick some ass.

    There has never been one scene of outright ass-kicking in the entire show. It's always talk, talk, talk, and oh wait! Someone is someone else's secret mommy or daddy or what-have-you or the product of a genetic experiment...and Sylar is glowering at someone and...who gives a shit?!

    @the fung: Well, so far, True Blood's second season was better than it's first, so I don't forsee an obvious parallel.

    @Brian Moylan: I was ready to co-sign with you on Heroes, but then you make that comment about True Blood. Even if the second season was better than the first (which it wasn't) both seasons were still fucking awful.

    I wouldn't watch that show just based on the pose that Hiro Nakamura is doing. I can't stand him. He seems incapable of just making a normal pose.

    Did the writer's strike hurt any show more? I think not. Pre-strike and post-strike heroes is a breathtaking comparison of good vs. awful.

    It was funnier when Dodai did it.

    Also, making fun of Rhianna is surprisingly unfunny when you do it.

    @olivia2.0: I've re-read that part four times now, and there is really no way to conclude from that that he's "making fun of Rihanna."

    @olivia2.0: I'm offended by the sentiment, myself. Those of us who have watched Heroes these last three seasons have been far more brutalized than Rihanna.

    Of course, that doesn't justify not knowing how to spell her name, B.Moy.
