I have to admit, Mr. Kring, that last night’s episode was better than some of your most recent episodes have been. It wasn’t blow-you-out-of-the-water good, it wasn’t showstopping or jawdropping, but the scripting was at least consistent and driving all the way to the end. I didn’t notice any glaring holes in the plot, no [...]

Heroes: .07%
I just love it when I’m right. I had predicted that Linderman was himself special, hence his fascination and connection with every single one of our heroes in this show – and I was right! Granted, the man is also a stark, raving lunatic, but I do believe his intentions are good. But it is not just [...]
Heroes Returns - In Theory
Heroes is back this coming Monday, and does anyone actually remember where we left off? This ultra-long break has left me, for one, very disconnected from the Heroes storyline. They had better give us a nice, long montage at the beginning of this week’s episode to refresh fans on what’s happening in the various storylines. [...]
There Are Others
As it turns out, I’m not the only one who’s bugged about Heroes going on extended hiatus again. It seems that viewers are all a bit annoyed at the way our favorite TV shows are being handled with their scheduling. From the viewers’ perspective, breaking up TV show broadcasts is suicide – it’s a good way to [...]
Heroes Voice-overs
Just a quick thought as something of a longer-than-usual aside: In the beginning of Heroes, Mohinder Suresh did these contemplative voice-overs, both at the beginning and at the ending. They were beautiful and rich, even if I didn’t necessarily agree with the some of the ideologies behind them. They set a certain kind of [...]
Parasite
I don’t know what NBC is playing at, but a six-week break?! You’ve got to be kidding me! Heroes only just came back from the mid-season break over the holidays and already they’re taking another hiatus from the show. I don’t know whose ‘brilliant’ idea this was, but it stinks. At first I thought it [...]
Company Man
Tim Kring is really starting to stretch even my suspension of disbelief. I’m perfectly willing to assume that certain things are true within a specific speculative fiction universe for the sake of enjoyment. I’m not one of those people who like to critique and criticize to the point of complete deconstruction in order to make [...]
Favorites
Peter Petrelli has been my favorite Heroes characters since the very beginning. Hiro seems to have risen to the top as everyone else’s favorite, and there is something to that. This happy, optimistic Japanese fellow is hard to dislike. Of all these folks with special abilities, the ones who have so recently begun to realize [...]
Pick Up the Pace
When it comes to allowing a book, movie, or TV show to develop its setting and characters, I consider myself more patient than most people. I realize that sometimes it takes a little time to set things up properly so that the climax of the story is as awe-inspiring as possible. Where most people are [...]
Four Comedians and Improvised Humor
Several years ago I stumbled across this weird British game show. I didn’t exactly know what it was, and at first glance it looked pretty cheesy. British television is always different from American, and unless you live in the culture, a lot of it doesn’t even make full sense. So I expected this show to [...]
