Not Sure I'm Gonna Last Until Kristen Bell Shows Up

Tonight I watched my first ever full episode of "Heroes."

. . .

"Chuck" was pretty good.

Ah. Yeah, it does seem like the twists and turns of the plot are what people respond to. I don't know. I think that coming in only knowing what I'd gathered from promos and overheard conversation made last night's episode more overwhelming than entertaining. Maybe next week will be better.

See, I don't really like the twists and turns -- and I particularly hated the serial killing of female characters -- but the show has something, at its best, moments of pure derivative inventiveness that are so much fun. Claire gets a lot of them, and so does Hiro. I hope they don't try and make it too dark, because that will kill that and then... well, I don't really remember anything from the episode the other night in a strong way.

I like "derivative inventiveness" :-)

We shall see. I think I'm going to keep watching "Chuck," so I will probably give "Heroes" a few more episodes.

I liked Chuck okay, but I think Reaper is better. (But I'll keep watching them both, cause one will probably get canned, and I did like them both.)

"Reaper" was so completely off my radar that I didn't even know it was on.

I think perhaps I relate a bit too closely to aspects of Chuck's loser-dom.

Oh hush, you are the anti-loser.

I'm just saying, it speaks to me.
