Oh we could be heroes, forever and ever...

Last night, I managed to catch the first episode of that new show Heroes on NBC.


Frankly, I enjoyed it. I'm not sure how long it's gonna last, but the comic book fanboy geek in me liked it. (How MUCH of a comic book fanboy geek am I? Well, at one point they mention X-Men #143 where Kitty Pride goes back in time....I yelled at the TV. That was, to my recollection, X-Men #141-142, and her name is spelled Kitty PrYde...)

I mean, "normal" humans suddenly developing super powers...cool. I'm a bit unsure about the Japanese guy's powers and what he does exactly. And I have no idea what the Internet porn woman's powers are, but I'm interested enough to come on back and find out.

The show's not for everyone, but if you think you might be interested, check it out, you probably will like it.

Glad to hear your review of Heroes. The critics were all over the place about it. I'll have to check it out. And quadruple points for the Kitty PrYde memory. Wow.

Dan: Oh I know all about the X-Men from 20 some years ago. What I from dinner last night, nope, no clue.

Ed: A rainy day in Toronto is still better than most sunny days here. :)

Olivia: I don't think you're trying hard enough. the Japanese guy looked like he was constipated and gonna pop open several veins in his forehead and eyeballs. YOU trying that hard? :)

Mikey: They might be repeating it again before next week. But even so, getting into it one week late is better than not at all!
