Software Developer, Media Nut, and Proud Father of Two

Monday was the three hour premiere of Heroes, with the first hour being a long promo that was built up to the real two hour premiere. I'm happy to have Heroes back, and there were some big twists in the story, shocking revelations and a big start to what I hope will ultimately be a successful season. However, as an avid watcher and reader of the online comics, I can't help but feel that there were some issues with the story that made this opener feel a bit rushed, and by rushed I mean crammed with so many different plot elements so as to create a "shocking" and "crazy" two episodes. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but now that I look back on it and think of the inconsistencies, unexplained circumstances and apparent continuity errors, I can't help but feel that the writers of the show are aiming harder for crazy twists and turns than they are with producing a quality story. Spoilers ahoy, so read with caution.

Five years ago, I couldn't count on one hand the number of TV shows that I watched (including Saints games). Today, I need at least three. With Comic-Con 2008 in San Diego wrapping up, loads of news about my favorite shows, and others that I consider mediocre or simple entertainment, is coming out the wood works. There are a lot of shows to look forward to, and here's something we will see a lot more of in the upcoming season of Chuck: Bromance.
