The Weekend is nigh...

Friday is here - yes, on Wednesday - and at its conclusion I shall begin my holidays. Off to Sydney come Saturday (the real one, not tomorrow), and won't be back for a week or so.

Some food for thought while I'm gone:

It seems the universal opinion of Heroes: Volume Three is one of disappointment. I wonder how much of that stems from the Writer's Strike and being forced to wait so fucking long? Y'know, expectations building over time and all.

Personally, I fall in to the disappointed column. Some of the character motivations in the first two episodes left me scratching my head, while the third episode was too reminiscent of much of Volume Two (in that it was rather yawn-inducing). I think massive doses of Hiro (and Ando!) are the only things that can save the show from a rapid decline.

Damn. That seriously blows. I really, really want Heroes to regain some of it's former credibility.

First two episodes are being shown here tonight. I'll be watching, even if it isn't the best the show has to offer. :/

The credibility it threw away in Season 2? Honestly, the show has been average since the (anti-climactic) climax of Season 1. Season 2 was boring (the entire Kensei thread could've been contained within two or three episodes instead of half a dozen).

For Season Three to be good we need more Ando. Heck, they should just call it The Ando Show and have him be awesome for 40 minutes.
