Heroes…Um…Yeah

I was very unimpressed with tonights season 2 opener. After a steller season one, I was dissappointed in the final episode. Not that it was a bad resolution to the story, but that the episode lacked the intensity that the entire season had.
This season opener was more of the same. The story was good, it was just executed poorly. From Nathan’s beard, to HRGs stereotypical boss and subsequent dinner table talk, it was a bore to watch. I would have gotten just as much enjoyment (maybe more) if I had read the short story, or comic book version of the episode.

One of the only bright spots was the interraction between Ando and Hiro’s father, which was sadly put to and end by the death of Mr. Nakamura. Now he may not be dead, but killing him off (even though we saw it coming) put a bigger damper on an already slow episode.

I’m not critisizing the story, but the execution of the story. Maybe it can be chalked up to bad directing, I don’t know. But the passion I have for watching Heroes is dwindling (though my passion for the story continues).

Prison Break…Water, Water, Everywhere…

This season of Prison Break is progressing much differently than I expected. Things are moving much faster. I really expected it to develop much the way that season #1 did.In season 1, the creators mentioned that they had a 3 season arc for Prison Break: 1-break out, 2-on the run, 3-break out again. It now seems that season 3 will more be a combination of seasons 1 and 2. Micheal only has 1 week to free Whistler, so if they take 1 day = 1 episode, then we have 7 weeks of breaking out. Then, there is the run to save Sara and LJ, as well as the fact that Michael is still a criminal. The remaining 10-15 episodes could either sum up the series or put Michael back in jail.

As much as I like Prison Break, I worry that if they go to a fourth season, it’ll start to get stale…jump the shark so to speak. Who knows, this season could set things in motion that will make continuing the series exciting.

The 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards…In-The-Round

Tonight, the Emmy’s got even worse. You know what I mean, the round stage. It made nearly every presenter and winner uncomfortable. What kind of idiot builds a stage for professional actors where they are forced to keep their backs turned to half of the audience. Terry O’Quinn was visibly disturbed by the situation. Some of the actors mentioned the issue, and others joked about it, but it was just wrong.

Led Zepplin Reunites

BBC is reporting the the 3 remaining members are reuniting for a tribuite concert in London.

Rumours of a reconciliation surfaced several years ago, leading to speculation about a reunion.

Doctor Sara not returning to Prision Break

Micheal Aussiello at TVGuide.com is reporting that Sarah Wayne Callie will not be returning for season 3 of Prision Break.

We already knew that Callies was MIA from the opening credits in the first two episodes and that, for the one scene in which Dr. Sara appeared, a body double was used. But nonetheless, trusting souls that we are, we believed the mom-to-be still had a job. Well, no more. There's a story here, and you're gonna get it.
