 HEROES
Kindred
aka: "How to rip off pretty much everything"
by Peter Sorensen
In the third episode of season 2, an enemy from the past returns (c'mon, don't make me spell it out here), Claire and West vie for their very own show on the CW, Peter does more impersonations than a bad YouTube video, and Hiro wonders how to tell people that due to the unfreezing process, he has no inner monologue.
My original episode review this week was tragically eaten by a server database problem, so instead of my usual verbosity, this week I'm going to rocket through the main points and try to limit my ranting to a bare minimum (which is still more than you'd expect).
To start off, ugh.
I don't know if they have been hiring writers out of the Dawson's Creek bullpen or if they've been farming their special effects work out to Indonesian slave children, but for whatever reason this week's episode left a really poor taste in my mouth.

 So I'm a day late.
I was going to post a review of Tuesday night's episode of Reaper, as well as give my thoughts on the new "improved" version of Cavemen (sarcasm), but after seeing the Nielson Ratings for Tuesday night, I decided to change topics.
Why? Well, you see: I love television. I really do. I grew up a TV baby, and I honestly can't remember a point in my life that I wasn't watching at least one show religiously. Maybe it was the Thundercats, maybe it was Double Dare, maybe it was Buffy the Vampire Slayer (maybe that was just a phase). Regardless, TV is a part of my life.
But... (he says with a dramatic Shatner-esque pause)... TV Sucks.
We all know it does. Has there ever been a time when you wondered to yourself "Why the hell am I watching this"? If you've never done that, well... you're reason #5. |

HEROES
Lizards
aka: "Worst episode title ever"
by Peter Sorensen
In the second episode of season 2, Hiro helps history along by playing a more active role in Takezo Kensei's life (literally), Mohinder helps out an old friend, Claire reenacts Reservoir Dogs with her pinky toe, and Peter Petrelli, well... Peter Petrelli makes up for lost time (and lost hair) by kicking large amounts of ass. There is also some taking of names afterwards.
Tonights episode of Heroes really showed off what parts of the show work, and what parts fall flat (I'm looking in your direction Maya and Alejandro).
This is where I would normally praise the show for it's infinite superhero goodness, but honestly I was a little let down by this weeks episode. Thankfully, by the end of the episode, it had totally redeemed itself.
