Heroes and Skins

February 17th 2007 | 21:52 | TV

So I know the blogosphere (truly one of the worst terms ever conceived by man or beast) is filled by unnecessary, irrelevant and obnoxious opinion, but I just thought I’d add some of my own. First, I was most disappointed to find that the so-called ‘next Lost,’ Heroes, was going to be shown on Sci-Fi, before being shown elsewhere, if at all. So I have procured the first half of the first season and I have to say that on the strength of the first few episodes the ‘Lost’ comparisons do it a huge disservice. Better written, more interesting, with an underlying disjointed eeriness that speaks more to a Lynch influence than anything else. It is, to be frank, excellent.

I’ve decided to have a nice night in with televisual treats and wine. What more could I want? Quite a lot actually, but never mind. Oh, and has anyone else been totally drawn in by E4’s Skins? I’m quite shocked by how much it’s continued week upon week to improve, and this week’s bizarre drugs hell tale was actually reminiscent of Trainspotting for its dark, bleak humour.

I didn’t know that you watched Skins? I meant to watch it but it seem that there may be too many people on the screen at once.

Ah well. I got a new snake today Paul…. Mastodon!! He has circles! Exciting….

I hope you had a good night the other night. I don’t really remember. You’re a merry soul and I miss you.

Tuesday was epic in every sense, yes. I especially enjoyed Woody’s dancing. I hope it makes it on to YouTube. We just watched Rocky Balboa. It was ace.

I agree. “Blogosphere” is a horrible word. I cringe every time I’m forced to use it (can you see me cringing?). Come up with something better and I’ll do my part in spreading it to the masses.
