So last night, I wanted to see the season premiere of Heroes, so I decided to try the whole 3 hours worth. First up was Chuck, a mildly amusing Sci Fi comedy about a kid who gets all the nations secrets downloaded into his brain. He, of course, gets a gorgeous CIA sidekick. Interesting concept, but totally unbelievable. It works more like premonitions, it seems, for his first revelation was of the assassination of a general. So what, the US already knew this general was going to be killed? If you suspend belief, and have an hour with absolutely nothing to do, it's cute enough. Heroes was fine, but I had already taken my contacts out, and my glasses make for hard times reading subtitles - of which we now have two sets. Japanese and Spanish. Oy. The next was, I think, the Traveller. Didn't like it, turned it off. It was too confusing for a first episode when I didn't particularly want to think. Gonna give The Bionic Woman a pass too. There is something new coming on Sci Fi though, with Matthew Fox. Could be interesting.

I watched it and I do agree it was a bit confusing, but I'm going to stick with it for a bit. If they straighten it out, it could be interesting. I missed Reaper tonight but I wasn't all that sure I wanted to watch it in the first place. The one I don't want to miss is Moonlight. No idea which network but I know it's on Friday. cjh
