Hello,
I like heroes but keep missing episodes but generally it looks good. It's
on scifi so there'll be numerous chances to catch-up. Is the older brother
who can fly (a senator/US politician) played by the bloke who played
spiderman in the 70's/80's films and possibly TV. He looks very familiar???
Heroes sort of reminds me of Watchmen but that may be cos I don't watch it
enough. SciFi may but I'm really not sure be available on freeview???
As for lost, yes I'm watching it although again I'm only on about se3ep15
and have downloaded to 19 I think (no sky one as I'm on virgin media). I
don't think the writers are clear on the ending and what it's all about
yet. I guess now the length of the show has been determined then they can
start with a graceful ending that makes sense. I'm pretty sure they've no
firm idea how to end it yet. They probably have a few ideas but I can
imagine that with everything gone so far there are multiple endings. I
thought it was some kind of island where they were creating a new
civilisation to survive peak-oil or something. I'm not sure what the big
black smoke is unless there's some mind of reality trying to come into
their dreamstate. It's all bollox but i enjoy it. Yes the black smoke is
reality trying to creep. I was quite annoyes they killed off the ?russian?
(eye patched) bloke in the house. He was that demon bloke in Wishmaster (or
dreammaster) which is one of my favourite cheesy horrors. A potentially
great character killed after two episodes.
Actually virgin media on demand has, recently, improved a lot. There's
something called American Angels or something which looks good. Apparently
they will get lost, 24 and Battlestar on demand later in the year. I'm
mostly up to date so not really an issue. Never really got into 24. Lots of
penny films (well one per week) and other stuff.
