Every time I see a Nikki/Jessica scene, I think of what Glory could have been and weep at the wasted potential.

I guess I would agree, Matt, but I find Nikki/Jessica to be the least interesting so far.
And yet I really enjoy DL & Micah.

I hardly know how to respond to having an arcy show that I adore about people with superpowers and issues be all popular and stuff. Guess I'll go with... yay!! <
I don't mind if a ton of folks watch it and it's popular. Kinda sucks when you have a shiney cool show and they don't advertise it and cancel it after one season... but we wouldn't know anything about that on this board.
(oops, my first post... ducking now, and trying to find my way around. Anyone got a map for this place? Is there a GPS d/l for it?)

Welcome omnis audis!
I know -- isn't it odd to have a fun arcy show be one of the top new shows on a major network?
Just imagine, next season, the other networks are all going to try to imitate it.

They already did this year because of LOST, 24 and PRISON BREAK, among others, and they mostly tanked (and LOST itself has been diving in the ratings). HEROES was one of the few (the only?) to catch on, possibly because the premise is dead simple to pick up - superheroes walk among us and many of them don't know it - and it also has loads of expansion potential (as opposed to shows based on a single incident like THE NINE or the two kidnapping shows).

Day Break (which I finally watched last night) is a show that feels like a regular cop-show but has a science fiction premise. You know, how everything you do effects the outcomes of any particular day. That could definitely be expressed better but I think you get me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
as opposed to shows based on a single incident like THE NINE
Count me as EXTREMELY pissed off that The Nine was sold as another Lost clone -- I think if they'd marketed it differently, it really could have caught on. It really wasn't just about the bank robbery, it was about the characters we met there. And they were great characters, and I'm very cranky that it got canceled when it did. They could have at least let it run through the full 14 and given the writers time to tie up some of the loose ends.

It wasn't at all like Lost. (And I'm happy that we at least got to find out what Jeremy did.)
I have to say that I'm more unhappy about Kidnapped but at least we're getting to watch the episodes on line. ( Kidnapped had a slow beginning but man, from the first episode online forward has been really great.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love Kidnapped. We're watching it every week online as well.
Ando said "baka". Nice to know my Japanese from college hasn't completely disappeared.
Hee. I learned that one from anime and manga. And "sakura".

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'd missed that The Nine had officially been cancelled. That makes me sad, even though I knew it was bound to happen.
