My favorite sci fi type shows. Heroes, Lost, and Eureka. Battlestar isnt bad, I just go so behind on it, I cant watch it now.

I love heroes, but it's no Lost.


Amen brotha! The characters twists and turns are much better than Heroes. On Heroes a lot of characters are there to fill empty space , on LOST everyone is tangled together, but you dont know how.

The writers strike will drag on. The studios make their real profits on these extra item such as residuals. If they agreed, the risk to operate would be much greater.

GREAT show, but I have one question....Claire's brother Lyle, where does he fall in the whole scheme of things? I've got a feeling he will play a huge roll before this all ends, otherwise why is he even in the show.

Any thoughts?

What? Half the stories on lost have no point and add nothing to the story. The problem with lost, is they take Sooooooooo long to do anything. They just keep teasing you. Heck more happends on 1 single episode of heroes than an entire season of lost.

Heroes finale was good but left me wanting more. Also, whoever mentioned 24 was correct, there will be no 24 this season :sad:. ANd one other thing, NOBODY should be ashamed of watching Smallville - I'm obsessed!!!

***SPOILERS BELOW********





























Who was that that shot Nathan? Was that Noah? It looked like it to me.

-Seeing Adam in the casket was magnificent!!! Hiro rocks!!!

- I was so glad Miya didn't die, she's just so easy on the eyes!!:yes:

- Noah shooting Nathan? I hope not.

- Peter and that irish gal, I don't get it? He fell in love that quick?

- I'm glad Cylar got his powers back, he's more fun when he's killing people with them.

- I would've like another fight between Cylar and Peter again, but maybe next season.

Good finale, I'll miss it.....

Just thought of this, kind of Ironic Claire's dad kills her biological father. I look for in season 3 that Claire tries to save Nathan with her blood. Or Peter could save his brother.

A couple things to consider:
- If Peter stopped the virus, did he implicitly destroy the future where his girlfriend is stuck? Can he get back to it?
- If Noah did shoot Nathan, then he has killed his adoptive daughter's real dad, thus edging out his only remaining competition.
- Where the hell did West go? His appearance was kind of pointless.
- Burying Adam alive is potentially one of the best twists in the whole series. Eventually though, you would think that he will get out (ala Kill Bill Vol. 2). It reminded me of Lost season 3, when they buried the one couple alive.

It's crazy how the entertainment industry works, writers/directors/actors get paid good money up front and also on the back end, where the Production Companies only make money on the back end. And they don't see a dime until everyone is paid their cut first. The average cost of a film in 2006 was 100 million dollars (including P&A). The Box Office has to be almost 4 times that amount for the studio to start turning a profit, however the writers/directors/actors will see the money way before the studios. Plus, everyone is upset because on the last strike they didn't fight for DVD's but they fought for VHS and won so they see that as losing money. The only thing that this strike is going to hurt is the consumer. Ever wonder why VHS tapes were always so much more than DVD's? Not sure if that is going to happen, but something to think about.

Also, what about the other unions? The grips, gaffers, DP's, PA's, sound mixers, eletricians, prod. designers, make up, etc., etc. who are just as valuable to every production as the writers/directors/actors? Do they deserve a cut?

I was a little disappointed that they had to wrap up season 2 of Heroes so quickly. You could tell they rushed things along in the last two episodes due to the writer's strike.

I assume they originally had more planned with the New Orleans story, because that never went anywhere.

I think there's somethng up with West. It's seems like an awfully big coincidence that Claire moves to a strange town and is befriended by another Hero.

We still don't know what Mama Petrelli's power is, do we? I'm waiting for that to come up at some point.

I loved it when Mama Petrelli psychically told Parkman to kill Peter if necessary.

I'm kind of interested in what they plan on doing with Monica (probably mostly because I went to high school with Dana Davis, the person that plays the role). That mimicking power is insane and I'd like to see how they incorporate it more in the show starting next season. I can't wait until that show comes back on the air.

No 24? The writers have just ****** me off. I was looking forward to January and seeing what Jack was going to be up to next. The fact I'm going to have to wait another year just isn't right. BTW - anybody else hear that they're filming a 24 movie?

I dont think it was Noah that shot JR....er I mean Nathan. I think it will be a new character. Im glad Maya is ok now. Of course Adam will be back, he cant die so that prison will only hold him for so long.

Was that last two parter the season finale? I feel it kind of ended abruptly. They are already advertising Eureka for 2008 so I was happy to see it didnt get canceled. Love that show.

Yeah, I didn't care for the season finale either but it's back in summer of 2008. It was weird seeing 'Henry' playing someone other than Henry on Numbers two weeks ago. I was like "Henry' you're smarter than this math guy, school his mathematic butt! But alas, he never did.:no:
