More ‘Heroes’ mysteries to be pondered
Last night’s mini-finale for “Heroes” was chock full of interesting if fairly confusing tidbits to keep us guessing until the NBC serial sci-fi drama returns in January.
For those who have not yet seen the episode, consider this your SPOILER ALERT!!
Is Peter really going to succumb to other folks’ powers? Will all the superheroes explode if they’re in the same room? And is that the whole point of the series? Too much power, super or otherwise, will make us all sick?
NBC hyped this installment as if it were the Super Bowl of Serial Dramas. As some of you probably know, I wasn’t initially a fan of “Heroes,” but it’s starting to grow on me — and at least I see what others see in it. And the mini-finale was pretty intense.
What did you think?
Fashion show stripped
Is it just me, or does the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” seem like a misnomer to you too? CBS has this annual cheese-festival tonight at 9, so if you want to see lots of wings, legs and cleavage, this is your show.
Gorgeous models with perfect figures strut the stage in the latest Victoria’s Secret push-up bras. It’s underwear, folks, not fashion, and I’m going to guess the audience is about 98 percent male.

"Heroes" followed by "Studio 60" are the only two hours of television I follow fanatically.
What am I going to do until January?

Heroes is if nothing....a cult hit, because I've run into mobs of twenty-somethings who will tune into this show....not that other age groups are watching, because I am definitely a fan. The scenes are quick and move the storyline along, but with the most important element...suspense. NBC pulled with Sci-Fi channel and ran a marathon last week. If they were really excited they would run a marathon on Saturday a Sunday infomercial point and capture a whole different audience wave. I could see this show spinning later into an animated series down the road.
I think Friday Night Lights is going to be really good tonight, at least that is how it appeared on the trailer. I was not aware that the scripts were loosely written, so as to allow for some improvisation by the actors. The line to come back and bite the Coach is when he tells Matt Saransen to "get a girl in the backseat of a car" and "loosen up." Well, his daughter seems to have a date. Should be fun to watch.
