Don't you wish the big networks had some guts?

I was watching Heroes last night and enjoying it, but wishing for more than that. Masq was unhappy about getting fewer hits at ATPo. Imagine how different it would be if Heroes deserved her meticulous analysis? There's nothing wrong with Heroes it just doesn't come close to being as densely written, or as thoughtfully written. As long as what's going on is mysterious Heroes looks complex. But, once we know what's going on each thread can be summed up neatly in a few words. Nikki is an alcoholic. She had a sister who she's still psychically attached to who was the victim of domestic violence. Peter and his brother have always had the cloud of the mob over their heads. The politician's wife was injured as he unwittingly discovered his power. Sylar is a meticulous, wanna-be nut job. Don't you wish it would take pages of analysis to fathom what is going on instead?

Not-nano is coming to a happy end hopefully today. The best part of yesterday's work was going over the things I did when the going was the toughest and seeing that it wasn't the total crap it seemed to be when I was trying to put it down into the computer file.

For yesterday 1125 - For November 39,551 (total 49,145)

Hee, well put! Even more so when it comes to the "science"--frankly, I'd rather they didn't even try to pretend there was a scientific basis for the heroes' abilities than give us all this bull-...gut contents. Evolution is never going to enable any life form to violate the laws of physics. What it does is let us make better use of those laws & the rest of the context of whatever niche we occupy. Unfortunately, the thing's written so they need some scientist characters to pull the other characters & the plot elements together.
