Great point about Mohinder and Maya. Way to put a positive spin on it. Their scenes mostly just gross me out.

I still root for the Cheerleader though – she’s the only reason I will still watch the show. And maybe Greg Grunberg if he can manage to clean himself up a bit and do a shower scene.

The first hour was actually good if you ignored the plot holes the size of a Hummer – but that’s always been a strength for Heroes. Somehow it managed to be hugely entertaining even though nothing in the first season made sense when you looked at it with a critical eye.

I will not speak of the second season.

But seriously – what was up with the second hour? Why did they do nothing but rip off David Cronenberg’s The Fly and treat it like they had invented it? There is homage and then there is uninspired plagiarism.

The worst offense was having Greg Grunberg in the desert looking terrible. This guy is huggable, adorable, and totally woof-material. Yet he gets underused and abused.

They had a highly entertaining first season and a terrible second season. What the real problem with the show is that it has had terrible writing, but great execution and occasional rises to the moment from it’s cast. But in the end, it’s still a second rate comic book with all the terrible cliches that we find familiar and comfortable, but soon realize it’s why we loved the Dark Knight so much this summer – it really is time for something with substance over style.

I took this show off my DVR last night. I’ll watch it online when I want to be bored. I’ve stuck with the show and still will. It just will be viewed online.

I will say that the second hour of the show was great and loved The Speedster. That’s going to be fun to see. But Maya is still around and shouldn’t be. Mohinder needs to never speak again and go back to India and take her with him. The whole scar/no-scar Peter Petrelli thing is stupid and needs to be resolved. And stop introducing new characters. There are too many now.

Anyway, Gossip Girl, Chuck are going to be my two 8 o’clock shows I tape. I’ll watch HIMYM/BigBang online as well. When did Monday get so crowded???

Oh, and Gossip Girl was freakin amazing last night. “From now on, everything goes through me.” hehehe

Polt, please tell me that you have already had a 40 ouncer today and are ready to call some of your friends with benefits because if that isn’t the case, then you must be far into a dry spell and we would hate to hear that…

“The skin is usually pale and splotchy” – that’s from the link you provided for a definition of gay face. I don’t think DL’s face was either.

DL…think maybe that stands for DownLow? Hmmm….

And frankly, I don’t really care if they got a gay face or not, cause when they’re on their knees in front of me, or on their hands and knees facing away from me, I can’t see that face anyway.

HUGS….
