It’s another edition of TV Talk, this time for Monday night. I was dead tired last night so I only got to watch Chuck and Heroes before I was falling asleep, but there was tons of other stuff on and this is the place to talk about it.
I enjoyed Chuck a lot, the fact that he’s becoming a bit more of a “spy” is kind of fun and I do like seeing the romance between him and Sarah start to develop.
Heroes was also a blast. What this one had was a seriously cool battle between five heroes, including Peter and Sylar on the same side. That’s the kind of thing that I’ve been telling people for awhile now that the show needs: Epic, large scale fights with powers going everywhere.
But…
*spoilers if you haven’t watched Heroes yet*
The creators and writers on this show have allowed their characters to develop so many powers (namely Peter and Sylar) that you really have no idea why they respond the way they do sometimes.
Future Peter is dead. He got shot twice. And not even in the back of the head like Claire mentions later in the episode. So…umm…why is he dead? He has Claire’s ability! He can also fly and stop time and countless other things.
Heck, in the premiere episode this year, he was getting shot by Claire and he easily stepped away, stole her gun and disappeared.
Yet this time, he dies and his past self runs down the alley like a regular old human.
What gives?
And what did you guys think of last night’s TV?
I looked it up and I've only missed like four or five episodes of Heroes and the recaps of the new episodes make no sense whatsoever. They must be moving this show at the speed of light. I'm starting to feel glad I haven't been watching it.
On the other hand, The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother have been really funny so far. In fact, The Big Bang Theory has been even funnier than HIMYM so far this year. The show is really starting to find its strengths and play to them.
I thought Two and a Half Men was funny as usual although I can take it or leave it. I always laugh but I feel a little dirty after watching it. I have no use whatsoever for Worst Week. It's the biggest new comedy of the season because it comes on after Two and a Half Men. If it came on at any other time I think it would already be canceled.
I went to bed early. Mondays are tough.
HOW A SHOW GETS CANCELLED: Out of the blue Life came on after Heroes. So Last week it premiered after Heroes on Monday, but then showed again in its normal timeslot on Friday (so we saw it twice last week), but a new one aired last night after Heroes agian!?!?!?! WTFrak…. how are fans supposed to follow when the dang thing is on, I only knew it was because of the ads for it during Heroes…. NBC pull your head out!!!
I've actually liked HIMYM on the few shows I have caught of it, but I've never seen Big Bang …. might have to tune it to one to see how it is…
If you have a DVR, then you have no worries, it will just tape for you
But I understand…still, I think NBC is just trying to get people to
realize it's moving to Fridays…instead of just moving it there all at
once.
Future Peter died because the haitian was also in the scene when Claire shot him, taking away his healing powers. Still, was the haitian alongside future Peter the whole time afterwards?? Because moving away from him would allow Peter to revive himself, like Claire did in season one. Even in that scene towards the end when Peter is using his powers on Nathan, we know their powers were usable then. I dunno. There's a few things buggin' me about that show.
Hero's has def gone in a new and kind of weird direction, not crazy about it, but not ready to quit it yet. One of my biggest peeves aside from those previously mentioned is Hiro. Could he be any more of an incompetent boob? I can't stand him anymore. The other issue is trying to figure out who's good/who's bad from time period to time period. Sylar's bad, but maybe good in the future, Claire is good, but maybe bad in the future. It's not really working for me.
Ah…the Haitian…thank you, forgot that he was there for that.
But I think once he leaves, Peter should be okay right? Or was that enough
to kill him dead, and there is no way he could revive?
Interesting.
yeah i am totally confused by heroes so far. i don't get when certain facts like we've know them apply and when they don't. and the story line is just really confusing lately. i CAN”T stand gooey eyes girl. can she decide when to use or lose her accent now? and what's with the boobage? her character is so stupid.
Yeah, she's all about boobs and sex now…I mean, I'm a guy and it's kind of
annoying
I have watched 3/4 of the first episode and was kind of lost remembering things. Maya or whatever her name annoys me as do Claire and Niki or whatever her name is now. I am dvring the series but i don't know if I will watch it. i have so many other things in my queue. I am still hanging onto sarah conner, although I haven't seen the past two episodes yet.
Maybe the bullet hit him precisely in the part of the brain that is responsible for his healing properties. I don't know, like I said didn't finish the first episode. All this screwing with time lines reminds me of the marvel universe where (as I recall) continuity is so screwed.
I say you turn in your man card….
I adored Life, the third episode felt like it was going back to its roots and did it well, I loved that they stopped the frenetic pacing and just let things unfold on their own pace. Particularly loved Dani's confrontation with Jack that was surprising and tension inducing.
Haven't seen it yet, but you have me excited to watch it

echoes my sentiment
Heroes is all over the map. It's getting more convoluted with each new episode. Hey producers, here’s an idea:
STAY OUT OF THE FUTURE AND FOCUS ON THE PRESENT!!!
WTF is wrong with Kring and company. All this time to work on season three and this mess is what they ended up with?!
Yeah, why do their stories ALWAYS involve time travel?
Great article man, thanks for the link.
Cap'n says you all are watching a show different than he is… Heroes is on track this season, is really good so far…
I'm enjoying it TOO, but the idea of time travel sucks balls and I wish
they'd do more fighting between these people.
Like the big battle between Sylar/Peter and Claire/the other two was
awesome…we need more of that.
Well see… it was good stuff… hey Mikey you like it!!!
