I just watched the penultimate one, I can't wait to see how it ends. I guess it is one advantage of living in North America. Before Heros is Dr. Who, so Mondays are offically my favorite TV night!!!

I have watched the first two and while I will keep watching its not as great as I have been told. Hopefully its just all the introducing the characters bit.

Is this coming to Channel Four as well? Don't have Freeview or Sky (and I think Sci-Fi is only on Sky anyway.)

Don't worry, it gets much, much better. It's a little slow in the first couple of episodes but it picks up the pace after that.

See thats the thing, people LOVED Lost at the start, but now apparently the ratings are dropping both sides of the Atlantic.

Lost has had numerous unanswered questions for three seasons now (like 'how did so many people survive that plane crash?' and 'what is the black smoke monster?'), whereas Heroes is still in its first season and does seem to be answering questions. It would seem that in the next (USA) episode HRG is going to have to spill some answers. Yes its going slowly, that's what makes people want to tune in every week, but I don't think its going anywhere near as slowly as lost did.

That's the weird thing, The X-Files left many many questions unanswered, especially in the movie that made more questions than it answered, but that didn't really lose popularity until the season Mulder sort-of left but managed to appear regularly enough anyways.

Personally, I've completely gone off Lost after this last episode, The thing about Lost that I quite liked was that it focused on the main characters, and you could just about suspend your belief and allow all the nonsense on the island to happen. Now though, they seem to be branching off to any new character they want to, and just throw random new survivors at us like that spanish guy and that dumb blonde, who were the worst characters ever, and this most recent episode with Desmond was just the most ridiculous thing ever, I was very much not impressed, and yeah, its just leaving TOO many questions.

Heroes though, I love it, it did start off slowly, but now its picking up pretty damn well, Peter is turning out to be one pretty cool character!! And after what happened at the end of the last episode in america, I can't wait for the next one. I don't know if anyone else noticed either, Stan Lee had the tinyest cameo as a bus driver in the latest episode.

I noticed that too. I thought it was rather interesting considering how similar Heroes is to XMen.

I like how he was in it though, he obviously approves over the show, which must be such an honour for the makers of the show.

You have what now?

I thought you had a cold when you were saying you were dying!

Have I missed something along the way?

He is a little whiney, but he's supposed to be the empathic one; the one with an abundance of feelings.

I watched and enjoyed Heroes, but then I still (mostly) enjoy Lost.
I've also been watching Jericho, has anyone else seen this?

Jericho started off OK, but it seems to be a bit of a nothing show; of course that's just my opinion.

i'll post pictures of my new sofa when i get it. i'll also post pictures of my tumor if they ever give them to me. it's about 1" in diameter and in my left breast.

today i asked my doctor if it meant i was special, like i was a hero. then we tried to speculate what my power might be. we're pretty sure it's not regeneration like claire. she said i just have really bad genes and i should blame my mom's family. i'd rather hope i could be a cool hero and run off with hiro and ando in the sunset.

I'm not totally aware of the full facts regarding your unfortunate illness Kendra but I wish you a speedy recovery.

All the very best.
