If Beckett can do it again and the Sox win tonight, then that series might get interesting, with the momentum going right back to the Sox at Fenway.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that Boston fans everywhere loved hearing Ramirez saying that it's no big deal if the Red Sox lose tonight.

And they may turn out to be eventually, but when Hiro decides at the last second to not go back (even though his character has been very aware of his role in the big picture ... right now, the last thing that he knows is that he stabbed Sylar and then got thrown across the street by him; he doesn't know if Sylar was actually stopped, or if the bomb did or didn't go off ... wouldn't everything we know about his character suggest that he'd be trying to get back there ASAP to help, and to avoid polluting the timeline?), and Peter decides at the last second to not open the box, it just seems like they're dragging them out just for the sake of dragging them out. And the Claire story ... it's irritating to see her and HRG suddenly lying to and not trusting each other after everything that happened last season.<BR/><BR/>But I'm not giving up, we know that shows can right their ship if they stumble.Trevor McFurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367497547181468484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17564195.post-72244872533677573482007-10-18T08:29:00.000-07:002007-10-18T08:29:00.000-07:00Yeah, I fell asleep early last night.

Last night's episode was fantastic. <BR/><BR/>As for Heroes, I hope it will buckle down on this photo storyline. If and when it does that I think it could be back on track. And hopefully the other things that are frustrating us, Irish Peter, 17th century Hiro, will tie in as well and in retrospect we'll be able to say "cool how they did that." I'd rather be Heroes loving than bashing.<BR/><BR/>Hollimemphishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135806668363907263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17564195.post-57948039801586511802007-10-18T07:44:00.000-07:002007-10-18T07:44:00.000-07:00I'm not too big into ripping Heroes right now. It'...I'm not too big into ripping Heroes right now. It's just too fashionable. People love proclaiming a show coming off a hit debut season as having lost it when it goes through a sophomore slump. I mean, just look at all the dumping on people did with Lost. I'm not saying that Heroes doesn't have some faults right now. It most certainly does. <BR/><BR/>But a lot of shows suffer the same fate in their second season. 9 times out of 10 going into a show writers don't have a long term mythology or plan for beyond the first season. Reason being usually that they are primarily focused on the first season, so as to not get canceled and actually survive. In Heroes case, the creator Tim Kring had only planned for one season because he wanted each season to be it's own story. But once it became a hit, NBC wasn't about to let him dump all his characters for new ones. <BR/><BR/>I dunno. Maybe Heroes is always going to be this way from here on out, hit and miss. Maybe once they get re-focused and better implement a long term plan it will improve. Who knows. All I know is I don't think it's totally sucking right now as much as the popular opinion likes to think. And right now I can find a lot of parallels with our beloved Lost from back in the day. There were times where I wasn't so sure that Lost knew what it was doing and whether it was "losing it". <BR/><BR/>All I know is that my favorite show on tv right now is Pushing Daisies. How great was that episode last night? To me, PD is everything Reaper isn't. Similar premise. Solving goofy cases, guy likes the girl, and such.

Kinda fun. Have you tried out the Ratchet & Clank one? It's pretty neat and has really nice looking graphics. The Simpsons game is goofy, but kind of fun as well. I look forward to Thursdays a ton now thanks to it being demo day for the PS3.

I'll be interested to see what Holli was talking about with this being the first episode with a scaled back budget. Holli, if you're reading this. What was the reasoning for that?<BR/><BR/>Other than PD, the only other new shows that I am still watching are Cane, and Palmer's favorite, Bionic Woman. <BR/><BR/>Cane isn't bad. It could go anywhere at this point though. Either good or kinda bad. It has some really evil bad guys in it that are very easy to hate. I don't know who the chick is who is sleeping with Dr. Eyeliner, but she is a biatch. <BR/><BR/>Bionic Woman, I don't why, but I keep watching it. I'm not overly enjoying myself when I do.
