Let’s start with the easy one. First off, I have been watching Heroes on and off this season mostly because the show has somewhat bored me. The start of the season was kinda lame and I really was not a big fan of the whole “let’s jump ahead into the future so we’ll have an episode in the past later that won’t really tell us much of anything anyway”. So I have been watching it on and off and let me tell you, I can’t explain why I keep coming back to this show hoping it will get better. It just keeps getting more lame.
Last night, I watched it, sort of, while I changed the water in the fish tank. The episode actually seemed kind of cool, until the very end.
HRG (Claire’s dad) had been fore casted to die based on one of Isaac’s paintings. When Mohinder pulled the trigger, I was actually blown away and thought, WOW. Finally something unexpected in this show. But at the end of it, we see HRG sit up in bed, and he isn’t really dead. You know, COME ON! Unlike Lost, the shows writers here are too scared to kill off a main character. They didn’t kill off Peter, or Nathan like we thought. They pretended to kill of Sylar, and now they pretended to kill off HRG. Come on folks. Seriously… stop being such pussies and have some balls to do something unexpected.
Even the “virus that kills everyone” is lame. Last season it was a bomb that kills a bunch of people. Now it’s a virus. It’s like the writers have a template that they keep inserting new elements into.
[insert disaster here]
[insert fake death character here]
[insert new power here]
That having been said, I will probably watch on occasion like I have been since it is something to pass the time when I’m stuck in a hotel. God knows I can’t wait til February to get Lost and some REAL QUALITY writing and television will hit.
Now, as for my kidney stones, they have not passed, at least I don’t think so. I have not felt any kind of serious pain when I pee so I am assuming that either they are still waiting to pass, or they have broken down and were passed without my knowledge. Since I still have some discomfort, I’m going to assume I still have them. I’m not able to get in to see me doctor this week so it will be at least a month before that will happen which totally sucks. *shrug* Oh well, whatdya do right? Keep drinking water, popping pain pills, and hoping for the best.
But man, I am hungry so it’s time to go get some food and finish off the rest of my day.
