Tim Kring Speaks: The Future of Heroes
Tim Kring has words for fans of Heroes. Passionate. Obsessive, perhaps. And very, very demanding. “Our relationship with the audience is extremely tenuous,” he admits, before answering, yet again, the barrage of questions about exactly what went wrong in season two. It’s day two of the Edinburgh TV festival, and Kring is sitting at the front [...]

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Heroes returns September 22, and it looks awfully shiny and pretty. I’m looking forward to giving it another chance, even with Sylar still in play. Stupid Sylar.

I’ve been saving up a bunch of YouTube videos with the intention of posting them, but then keep forgetting. The fact that I finally acquired a Wii this week might have something to do with my forgetfulness, I fear. Still, in the interest of helping you waste time on a Friday afternoon, this week’s Friday [...]

The body of a local beauty queen washes up on the beach…a group of airline crash survivors find themselves on a remote island inhabited by invisible monsters…a policeman finds himself transported thirty years into the past. These are great openings, and great openings demand a strong finish. How did he get back to 1973? How [...]

I don’t think this is actually a story, but TV Squad is pretending that there might be a House musical someday. Apparently, everyone in the cast has some sort of musical experience. My first response: oh, hell yeah. You know the choreography for Hugh Laurie and his cane would be fabulous. My second response: that [...]

Woe, but I am a mess this week. A mere month after recovering from the lurgy, I seem to have contracted some new and undoubtedly deadly disease. I am guessing it’s either consumption or rickets. It’s so hard to tell those two apart. Of course, as I rested on my sofa, whimpering gracefully, I had one [...]

Wednesday, November 28, 2007
With so many characters developing regenerative abilities, it’s become very difficult for any heroes to actually stay dead. And, with a cast as bloated as this one, the show is in dire need of some pruning. Sure, Heroes may appear to be righting itself, but it still manages to stuff dull filler between the genuinely [...]

Since we can’t have a tidbit without mentioning the strike, let’s get that out of the way immediately. The LA Times reports that the two sides have agreed to sit down for talks on November 26. Hopefully, both sides will approach the table so blissfully sated after a weekend of turkey and pumpkin pie that [...]

Wednesday, November 14, 2007
One busy weekend, and already it feels like I will never catch up again. Well, not until January, at least, when I will suddenly have to sit through old episodes of The Cosby Show or TJ Hooker in order to find something to write about. There’s something to look forward to. In order to save time, [...]

Wednesday, November 7, 2007
Being a fan of an American TV drama means always waiting for a favorite show to jump the shark. It seems unavoidable. Unlike shows from other countries, which have a limited number of seasons and episodes, US shows tend to stay on the air until they stop making money — and the only way that [...]
