Sawyer and Locke, bot...- I'm 50/50 on the "Big 4." Sawyer and Locke, both very good. Kate, pretty, but her character annoys me. And Jack, well Matthew Fox plays a self-righteous, sanctimonious ass better than anyone else on TV (if only that's how they wanted his character to portrayed).<BR/><BR/>- As for the writing, Cuse and Lindelof so often want to be taken seriously, yet the writing constantly makes fun of the stupid stuff on the show and in a way that makes fun of the fans of the show. You can't have it both ways guys. It's very disingenuous.<BR/><BR/>(I should point out that I agree with your take on the dropped plot points - just move on and enjoy where it's at now). <BR/><BR/>- As to the characters - Sawyer has been great this season and I've enjoyed his chemistry with Juliet. Hey, it's something different and not having to deal with some silly love triangle is refreshing. The three new characters from the freighter have all been mostly good as well (Charlotte feels a little underdeveloped still, but that should change at some point). Oh, and my wife is happier that Jin is back than just about anything that ever happened on the show, most likely just so she can gaze at Daniel Dae Kim once again (and you are correct, there is no way he would have known who Rousseau was).<BR/><BR/>- I have to agree that this is as good as the show has ever been. It feels much more tightly paced, they have multiple interesting storylines, none of which are particularly dragging, and best of all they've gotten rid of pointless flashbacks (although I was always hoping for a Vincent flashback, oh well).<BR/><BR/>- Heroes - I'll trust you that it's shit. I gave up after Season 2 and never for a second felt like watching Season 3.<BR/><BR/>- Your last statement made my head explode trying to understand the logic of it.

Although, as much as I love most of the time travel stuff, which has generally been handled really well, I'm not too crazy about the increasingly obvious idea that Charlotte is the daughter of Daniel and that girl who's in a time travel coma back in England. <BR/><BR/>My own personal time travel theory, with no real evidence admittedly, is that once the Six return to the island and everything, eventually the castaways are going to turn out to be, way back when, the origins of the Others on the island. That would explain where the Others came from, at least. How's that for out-there theories?<BR/><BR/>And Heroes is a mess. I don't know why I'm even still watching it anymore except that it once, before the rousing anticlimax of its Season 1 finale, seemed like a promising, fun show with lots of great characters. I'm not really sure what happened to that show, but it's long gone now.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143866771442228551.post-28505249951955073132009-02-07T00:32:00.000+02:002009-02-07T00:32:00.000+02:00Anonymous prick : get a life :)Anonymous prick : get a life :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143866771442228551.post-49986155476829443002009-02-06T22:58:00.000+02:002009-02-06T22:58:00.000+02:00Heroes is awesome!
