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.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Actually, I'd love to see Monica go in and stop FEMA from evicting trailer residents, but I suppose that's a little too topical.

She'd probably catch a glimpse of some old Michael Brown footage on tv and end up joking about her tie.
