My wife and I don't really get that hooked on TV shows that much. We are still watching the Amazing Race, and I try to catch Lost when I can. I would also love to watch Sci-Fi stuff like Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, and re-runs of Firefly.... but that would require cable. And I'm just too cheap to but cable.
the new show that I am really liking is Heroes. It's the story about ordinary people that discover they have extraordinary powers. And now they are discovering that they are also destined to save the world. Naturally. Because discovering that you have secret powers is really boring if you just sit on the couch and levitate potato chips into your mouth all day long. Or slices of fruit into your sweetie's mouth. *cough*Anakin-get-a-life*cough*
Some people think that Heroes is like X-Men meets Lost. Ummm.... well, I guess that would work as a description. They also have a lot of interesting online exclusives that tie into the show, like comic stories that add plot details, a "blog" by one of the main characters, and even MySpace pages for some of teen age characters. Even though statistics show that over half the people that use MySpace are over 30. And, I mean the legal, nice users - not the sicko child stalkers.
So, as I mourn the loss of Alias, I have found a new distraction to get over the pain of never finding out what the heck is the deal with Rambauldi anyway.
