I like the blog... read some of your postin...Ken!!! I like the blog... read some of your postings last evening, and while eating this Five Dollar Footloooooong. Couple of the things I wanted to hit on that I noticed you blogged on. Heroes totally blows these days. There's entirely too many characters. I really liked the show when it started... then it just became absurd. It feels like Jurassic Park 3 where they replace a good plotline and compelling characters with loads and loads of dinosaurs (i.e. superpowers). While I feel Lost has mostly stayed pretty solid, I also feel that all of these high-budgeted new style hour-long shows (like Prison Break and the such) are in many ways all doomed. They have a storyline, and when the show has some early success they can't just end it in a way that would make sense plot-wise. Take Lost for instance. You would like to think that there is an underlying truth/meaning to the story. While it may not be known to the viewer, the creators of the show have always known what this was in much the way that the Harry Potter lady always had a crude outline of what Harry Potter's destiny would be in her head. I don't think that is the case now w/ Lost, and definately not with Heroes... and while still possibly entertaining I find it makes these shows somewhat less satisfying. <BR/><BR/>On a different note... I also see a lot of gloom for the Big 3. I would bet on out and out bankruptcy for all 3 if natural market forces were allowed to play out to fruition (which I doubt will happen). Who is going to be buying cars in this kind of economic environment and uncertainty??<BR/><BR/>Anyways, gotta get going.. talk to you soon though hopefully.<BR/><BR/>ZachZacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267571978671664650noreply@blogger.com
