Heroes is cool

For the last few years, I've tended to avoid series television (I hate having to keep up all the episodes, even with TiVo to help), but lately Darren and I have started watching Heroes on DVD. It's another party I'm arrivimg at late.

And it totally rocks.

All my life I have fantasized about finding out that I have hidden powers that only need to be coaxed out and trained to turn me into some kind of super-being. You know--like Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, or Will Stanton in The Dark is Rising series. All that ever awoke in me was a whole lotta gay, and last time I checked, that's not a super-power. (Well, at least not in my case.)

Heroes, if you haven't watched it, is like a lower-budget, better written version of The X-Men. A group of misfit mutants with powers they don't fully understand band together to help each other fight another mutant who is trying to slay them, one by one.

It's smart, and it's fun, and it's creepy. That's a rare combo on TV these post-Buffy days.

And, best of of all, my girls Wendy & Lisa do the music for show. Oh, and there's a lot of cute guys in the show. So check it out, if you haven't already.

Happy Friday to you all. Rest up, be naughty, and I'll have more for you next week.

Season II, was really under-whelming. Hopefully, they've learned from their mistakes and the new season will equal the first. I really wanted to like the 2nd season, and it simply left me cold.

You & Mel haven't hit the Dead End of Suck that was Season Two yet. Here's me doing my best to lower your expectations so you won't be as disappointed as the rest of the world.

I love Heroes and the Dark is Rising series was also one of my favorites as a kid!

We just finished Season One last night. Season Two comes out next week and is already in our Netflix queue. Love it.
