Comic Book Plots Done Right

I am addicted to Heroes again. My sister bought the first season used on DVD and after watching one or two discs I stole the rest from her. I have watched some 18 episodes in like 4 days. This is reminiscent of my experiences watching Lost and Alias on DVD with my sister Abby.  Basically, whoever though of TV on DVD is an evil genius. You sit down to watch one episode and 3 hours and 4 episodes later you are mad that you just wasted all that. These horribly wonderful shows typically end up in many, "Hey, do you see what time it is?" moments. I have watched all these Heroes episodes before, but I never absorbed this show like I did Lost (which I am addicted to). But the first season of Heroes is up there with the second season of Lost and the second season of The Office. I guess I judge these by how much I enjoy each of them, and these three are some of my favorite shows ever. I can't wait til Fall when the new season of Heroes comes back on. The second season was generally pretty weak and cut way short by the writer's strike. Hopefully season of three returns to the form of Season 1. 

You could compare Season 2 of Heroes to Season 4 of The Office. I thoroughly enjoyed both, but the writer's strike really hurt both of them. It took until the last couple episodes for The Office to really come back to form. I am hoping Season 5 for my favorite comedy is much better than 4 was. But since this post is really about Heroes I should probably end with a few things about the show:

-Peter Petrelli is an absolute BA.

-The special effects on this show are pretty awesome.

-There is no shortage of very attractive people on this show (I say this from mine and my sister's observations).

-J.J. Abrams had a hand in it (I think?) so that automatically makes it great because he is the King Midas of the entertainment biz (everything he touches has extreme success).

-The film style is awesome. You really feel like you are watching a comic book come to life.

-Heroes is a diamond in the rough in the seemingly mediocre (but improving, Iron Man was great) comic book entertainment business.

I know I just had a post about Girl Talk, but Feed The Animals is one of the best cd's I have heard in a long time. Top 5 best cd's of the year so far hands down. I can't stop listening to it. Lil' Mama and Metallica used in perfect unison. One of the coolest music moments of my short 15 years.
