I wrote most of this on Monday, but schoolwork and general exhaustion and Blogger being on crack extended the writing process.


Looks like The Dresden Files TV show is going to be on Sundays at 9EST as the lead-in to Battlestar Galactica. Now I'm not a TV executive and I don't know about the secret inner workings of the network, but wouldn't it have been more prudent to make the phenomenally popular space opera the lead-in to the new show desperately seeking an audience? Ah well. Maybe a few BSG fans will see the last few minutes of Dresden and be intrigued. *sigh* And I liked Sci-Fi Friday.


Anyway, Heroes. So when did it finally penetrate Peter's skull that flying was not his superpower? I thought he was still confused about everything. He certainly was a couple episodes ago, and nothing really happened for him that should have changed that. Oh well.

The "Save the Cheerleader" payoff was the most predictable thing that's happened all season, but it was still fun to watch it play out. I was hoping they'd put some kind of spin on it, that it wasn't Claire that needed saving, or that Claire was going to take a dramatic turn for the dark side when she tried to kill the quarterback, and they were going to have to save the Cheerleader from herself, which would in turn stop a series of events that would have lead to The Great Kablooey. I was hoping that we would actually see the other cheerleader die on the steps, where Claire's death was predicted, but I guess if all Isaac's visions actually came true, it wouldn't bode well for New York.

Oh well. I like that they paid the line off quickly, rather than making it last an entire season. I know they're trying not to be Lost, making the fans wait seven years to pay off something that happened in the first episode.

Anyway, more nicknames to add to my stash, in addition to "Mr. Kitty": Boy Rogue and The Wolverette. This show makes me so happy.


Oh! And I neglected to mention! Ko and I watched the two episodes of Studio 60 I had recorded but we hadn't gotten around to seeing (Nevada Day 1 and 2), and BWEE. I don't know what was going on in my brain, but for the first time, the show felt like Genuine Sorkin to me. I was loving it, and I was wondering what on earth I was thinking when I told myself weeks before I was only watching the show because my roommate watched it. YAY STUDIO 60!
