Cautionary Tales

Just finished last week's episode of Heroes. Wow - does this mean that HRG is now like Claire?

2 episodes behind

Yes, thanks to spending Thanksgiving week in the U.K. I'm 2 episodes behind in Heroes. Note to self, get caught up before next Monday's finale.

I had a great time hanging out with Billy, Susan, Pepper, Barbara, Josie, Mario, Peggy, Gary, Astro, Daniel, Jason, Barry & Teddy. Here are a few pix from the trip.

4 months ago

Tonight's episode of Heros was really good and as we only have 3 episodes left the story lines are getting tighter and drawing together. I'll have to watch next week's episode online as Teddy & I will be in Edinburgh next Monday (a side trip to Thanksgiving week in London).

Homemade dessert

Teddy made dinner on Monday (a spicy, yummy veggie chili) and this delicious homemade dessert...

What happened to fall?

Several weeks ago we were in the midst of an unseasonably warm October - with highs in the mid 80s. Now in early October and it's in the 20s & 30s. Summer to winter in the blink of an eye.

Heroes Creator Admits Mistakes


Tim Kring has acknowledged that there have been problems with Season 2:

  • Starting the season off with a slow buildup
  • Introducing new characters like the lame-ass Maya & Alejandro and Monica in story lines that didn't flow with the rest of the show
  • The Hiro storyline in feudal Japan was way too long
  • The love story lines between Clair & West and Hiro & Yaeko
He said that the complaints have been heard and that they're doing something about it. The December 3rd episode will be the end of the "Generations" story arc and a new ending has been filmed for it that will more firmly make it a season finale.

The Merry Widow?

I laugh every time this ad pops up on yahoo mail. This woman looks like she's ready to go spend the insurance money and party.

June 14, 2008

Peter & Caitlin flew to Montreal and then teleported to Times Square and an empty NYC. They found a flier on the street for a mandatory NYC evacuation on June 14, 2008. Season 2 is finally hitting it's stride.
