TV

It's Tuesday afternoon. I'm doing laundry.

It's very cleansing for the soul, doing laundry. I don't like having mine sent out, I need to wash my own stuff. And then realize I'm running late, pull them out of the dryer too early, and leave them in a pile to mildew until I wash them again next week.

So in these few minutes between cycles, let's talk about television. I would discuss the diaphragm spasms I am experiencing with the anticipation of Project Runway starting tomorrow--literally, my insides are TWITCHING as I think about it--but there's nothing to say until we all see it. So instead, let's discuss...

Heroes.

:(

Last season, I loved Heroes. But now...there are all these new characters, every scene they're jumping back-and-fourth three hundred years, Veronica Mars is running around shooting lightning out of her hands and what is up with the Mexican who leaks soy sauce out of her eyes? It's too much.

And Milo Ventimiglia was so cute, I wanted to smush him. So nerdy, so cute.

But that Milo...I'm glad to see he's been going to the gym, but his initial appeal was that he played the dorky brother, with the odd man-wedge haircut, and you rooted for him because he was the underdog. Now, he cut his hair and waxed his chest and he never smiles, he takes himself so seriously. I don't want to smush him anymore. And sorry, but an action hero just can't be a guy with bow legs like that.

The magic is gone.

Although watching Niki/Jessica do lines last night...was hot. We love Ali Larter.

That's all.

I'm so with you. Last night I looked at my husband and said, "Heroes is soooo losing me." The Veronica Mars character is obnoxious, Molly makes me want to shove an ice pick in my eyes and Maya makes me root for Sylar...

I keep hoping it'll get better.

I've moved on. They were moving too slow this season.

Now, a good show that has my attention is Big Bang Theory. Loves it!

[maggie]

And why couldn't they just have shown the "4 months ago" earlier? Stupid.

I never started watching Heroes. Lost is too much of a handful for me.
I'm kind of glad, because I heard everyone is disappointed. But keep the faith! I heard Heroes is only going to get better (when the strike ends)

[Manda]

I can't wait for Project Runway!!! Will your "brother" be back to do recaps??? I hope so!!!

[Emily]

I love milo! and i doubt i'll ever stop. He's never been much of a smiler. Even in gilmore girls. A very happy show.

I'm keeping the faith. Now that most of the stories are cleared up, the heroes actually have something to work toward. The "Save the cheerleader, save the world" of last season might come back with this whole virus thing.

Regardless, it's definitely better than the Big Bang Theory.

don't you mean niki/gina? they kinda lost me there

[Yummsh]

You're gay, so I'll forgive the non-mention of Kristen Bell's hotness. But yes, this season has sucked seven different flavors of ass. If it goes beyond a third season, I'll be shocked.

[SuttFace]

The flashback episode was awful and pointless! We already new the crazy shit Maya and Alejandro could do. We already new Nathan got burned to hell. The Niki/DL story was craptastic. The Peter/Adam storyline was actually OK, but Kristen Bell's character is so damn irksome that it makes it not fun to watch.

As for the stuff they left out, well...it actually NEEDED explanation. Hmmm...we have Mohinder, a nutty professor cum taxi driver who's not even a US Citizen and leaves on a world lecture tour. And we have Matt, a cop who's gotten into trouble more than once working for the LAPD, has disappeared from work/home for days at a time, is going through a divorce and recovering from 4 gunshot wounds do the chest. What I would've liked to have seen is how the hell these two get awarded custody of a little girl???!!! I mean, don't get me wrong, I think the Molly/Matt/Mohinder household is probably the most adorable thing ever, but it makes zero sense.

Also, no answer for how Sylar escaped or what the Company did to him?? Bad form.

I don't really follow HEROES but I'd totally do Milo, both old and new versions. In fact, that would be just the hottest three-way, no?

[BOSSY]

Bossy is so excited about Project Runway she can hardly contain herself. Today, to prove it, she has been talking like Tim Gunn! You had to be there. Anyway, imagine: a fresh season without Heidi Klum preggers!

[Marsha]

I think I liked the longer hair....maybe the hairstylist misunderstood when he asked for a trim.

[desertwind]

YAY!

Is your little brother back from the wilderness?
