This blogspot has been almost deserted...

Well, ever since I've been Twittering, this blog page has been all but abandoned.  In Twitter, I can quickly post my thoughts without having to type a whole diatribe about it.  I feel I can say things in 140 characters or less.  Plus I can "tweet" random things that have nothing to do with anything!  It's pretty great.  I'll post here when I actually have a lot to say; otherwise, off to Twitter I go!

Reviews this week so far...

I'm glad to say that this week's episodes of Lost and Heroes were great.  The past few weeks were just OK, but both shows kicked it up a notch this week.  The thing that made both shows good this week is the fact the stories were character-based, more so than trying to be too action-packed.  Not that I mind a good cliffhanger, but only if it is GOOD.  

Heroes this week focused on the Petrelli family and their struggle to find meaning on what to do with their lives.  Nathan, freshly ousted from the gov't program to round up those with abilities, brought Claire with him to Mexico to hide and to figure out how he can fix the current situation he created.  With the gov't hot on the trail, Angela and Peter Petrelli hid in a church where many of their family memories occurred.  Peter questioned God about his purpose and why he was given an ability when it hasn't really helped anyone.  Angela could not sleep, which she needs to do in order to have her dreams/visions of the future and figure out what needs to be done.  On the flip side, Sylar's storyline -- I'm not too fond of.  I mean, just how omnipotent is he going to become?  Now he can shape-shift?!?  It even looked like he could freakin teleport!  It's getting ridiculous with him.

Lost the past couple of weeks has not been so great to me.  They were good, but not great.  I understand that they needed to do those episodes to explain the whole 70's Dharma situation, but they really didn't connect to the overall plot to me -- probably due to the lack of flashbacks/flash forwards to any 2004-2007 events.  But this week's did, with a Kate storyline about how she tried to help Sawyer's daughter, as well as she left Aaron with Claire's mother.  It was a more emotional episode and I thoroughly enjoyed it (and I usually don't really like Kate episodes).  On a side note, what the hell is with Jack?  His character has really become very weak and he's pretty much a background character in comparison to Sawyer.  We'll see how long that lasts...
