Tivo Love?

Finally got to watch this weeks Heroes last night. So far, this season doesn't quite have the punch of last season, but this was still a pretty decent episode. Not sure why the hell Candice didn't start making nightmares for Sylar as soon as he hit her. It's not like she was dead at that point yet. But whatever. And Claire should have learned by now that her father is completely removed from his old life, and she knows exactly what he used to do, so I don't know why she's looking all pissy with him for having a connection to West. I'd be more pissed at West for almost outing me like that seeing as how he knows he was abducted and brain wiped somehow. Also, we need more Mohinder/Matt bachelor pad time. Seriously. We also watched Property Virgins, which is a pretty cool show. Canadian, but most good shows these days are. Yes, it's a home buying show, get over it. So, we still have this week's episodes of Chuck, Reaper, and Pushing Daisies to watch. Not sure if that'll be tonight or tomorrow, though, since satyr_mi is supposed to be on a homework/study buddy binge tonight for his programming class. We shall see.

Today is free lunch day here. Also known as All Hands Meeting day. I like our new All Hands Meetings. They drive us to a hotel, give us free snacks, we get a multimedia presentation, then we come back and basically work a half day. And our department has ordered us pizza for both of them so far. It's also carebear_flare's first day of work at our IT Cage. He put in apps with Kelly on Monday, got called on Tuesday, and found out yesterday. I was pretty certain when he told me on Tuesday he was working at an "IT Cage" but didn't know where yet that he would be at Borders. I was right! I am highly amused. :)

I think that I agree with your assement, this seasons Heroes is missing something. That edge that it had is gone, though I'm not sure if that's because it's been weaker so far or just that the newness has worn off. There have been some cool moments, for sure, but nothing that has overly geeked me out. Here's to hoping that it picks up.

Property Virgins, huh? What channel is that on? I'm into the House Hunters, the various house flipping shows, etc. and yet somehow I missed that one.

I think Heroes still has the spark, but we know all the characters and we know what they can do, so we need to see them involved in something bigger now. Last year they kept New York from blowing up, so what are they going to follow it up with? Having Peter lose his memory to the Haitian is pretty lame. We need to see the characters grow, not regress. Granted, we'll get some answers when we hit episode 8 (four months ago), but I don't think it will be enough. We're already invested in the characters, we need to know what's going on in their lives now and not have gaps that may be important to what is going on.

Property Virgins is on HGTV, I believe.

You're right, the spark is still there with Heroes it just needs something to amp up the energy in the show. Honestly I'm not so sure about the whole going back in time plotline, interesting but kinda played out -- the time thing I mean.

Not sure what to think about Peter yet, though I do like the Irish lass that he's involved with at the moment. Red headed venom spitting women are my thing. :)
