Holy freaking hell! You missed HEROES??? Get thee online and watch the episode now.
I was afraid they’d wimp out and try to coax new folks along in a lame attempt to get more viewers. Instead, they launched full-force into a bazillion storylines. Kinda like, “If you don’t know what’s going on up until now, SCREW YOU! We’re having our own little comic book geek party with or without you!”
I don’t think this gives away anything crucial, but if you don’t want any spoilers at all, stop reading.
One of my favorite things they do is throw in little nods to other sci fi shows and media, especially with guest stars (Christopher Eccleston, George Takei, Malcolm McDowell, Nichelle NIchols, , etc.) So, besides a recurring role for Bruce Boxleitner (B5) as “the governor,” they had William Katt (Greatest American Hero) in this one. It made me smile anyway.
What, and give up Dancing With The Stars? Or a Red Sox game? In glorious HD?
Oh that’s right, you guys have the Rays now. I guess you always did, just now people pay attention to them. (In fairness, last year I said the Rays were gonna be a good team soon, with all the talent they have. And Joe Maddon is a good one, too. If the Sox can’t win it, I’ll be rooting for the Rays.)
Oh yes, likes it a lot. And yes, I’m lame: I had to Tivo it b/c I was working. *sigh*
