"Are there no black actors in LA from the South?"

Yeah, and are there no struggling Irish actors anywhere in the States?

Sorry, all actors must come from L.A. Or possibly Canada.

Well then they could at least have done a teeny tiny bit of research and realised the ludicrousness of security guards in Ireland having guns when, y'know, our police don't have guns. At least they got the rain right. But not the thunder.

I'm fully prepared for the next shots of New Orleans to include majestic mountains in the backdrop.

So I caught some of the Heroes marathon on G4 this weekend and I realized that if you just cut out the Hiro in Japan storyline and kill the damn gemelos already, I'd really be enjoying this season. I could even stand the pointless Claire among the Heathers subplot. I realize that the black goo power is most likely going to play into the virus storyline and w/o Hiro back in time acting a fool, we'd not have Kensei (whom I am enjoying for the most part). But those two plots are just huge black holes of suck for me, at least.

It's crazy because I love Masi Oka and I love the Kensei dude (didn't watch Alias so I have no idea who he is). I also love Zachary Quinto and the Sylar character and while I find the woman playing Maya tiresome, the man playing Alejandro is sooo pretty (And that's normally just about enough for me. I'm easy that way.) It's just that these two stories drag on and on and on. Oh, well. I'm excited about tonight. Maybe now that we're getting into the big story arc, everything will pick up.

The crazy thing for me is that we are (apparently) more than halfway through this arc. I cannot believe the show is moving so slowly but I think that when you watch it all the cutting between storylines gives it the illusion of more action which disappears when you start thinking about what actually happens in each episode.

I'm laughing, because that is how I felt about the show this time last season. Yet, by then, I was hooked.

If I recall from last year, the show really lagged in October and January, and then immediately picked up steam once sweeps month started.

Yeah, but I loved the show so much last year that it didn't bother me. I know that plenty of others were bothered.

I'm fully prepared for the next shots of New Orleans to include majestic mountains in the backdrop.

Only if they can find a way to show suffering black people clinging to those snowy peaks, 'cause suffering black people (and their undermining, passive-aggressive white best friends) is what New Orleans is all about on Heroes.
