I have been trying to figure out since Monday night how I felt about the season opener of Heroes. On one hand, I didn’t throw my remote midway through. On the other, I wasn’t shocked and awed. Now, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – we’re never going to get the awesome feeling that season one left us with. That’s gone forever and it’s never coming back. But I just feel like so much of what the characters do is ridiculous, and it takes so long for them to do something smart. And before you tell me that I have to ‘suspend my disbelief’ or WHATEVER, I know that it’s a television show, and I am perfectly content with letting little things go like ‘Oh, hmm, I guess Sylar forgot he can hear you from 200 yards away because of that SUPER HEARING he has’ but then, I’m sorry, I can’t let it go when a scientist is injecting himself with things that haven’t been properly tested yet. But anyway, that was last season and this is now and revisiting that time makes me see white. So let’s just talk about NOW.

( Spoilers and yes this is long. )

So why do I watch this show? Why do I go on such tirades and seemingly hate it? Because I don’t hate it. I just want it to be what I know it can. Everyone knows this show could be so much more, and I’ve already invested three seasons into it. Now I guess I’m watching because a part of me needs to see how it’s all going to end.

And I don't have any Heroes icons, so have Richard Alpert instead.

The 'I possibly watch way too much t.v. and need more people to squee over it with' meme

Usually when I want to talk about T.V. I keep it over at The TwoCents or Confession of a T.V. Addict, but some people don't use those venues, and I for sure want to keep discussion going on my LJ! I already have a wonderfully diverse flist (hi flist!), but there are some shows I watch that get no love. Jeff Lewis anyone? *crickets*

So, here's a friending meme just in time for the NBC comedy block to start tonight! PIMP THIS OUT!! Link back to the meme, drop it at your favorite communities (*if it's allowed) and make some new friends!! Because I know I can't be the only one obsessed with television.

<u>Basics first</u> <b>What is your name?</b>: <b>How old are you?</b>: <b>What time zone are you in (important for t.v. viewing/potential spoilers!)?</b>: <b>What is your friending policy?</b>: <u>T.V. stuff</u> <b>What shows do you plan on watching this television season?</b>: <b>What are your 'guilty pleasure' shows (ANTM, anything on VH1/MTV, etc)?</b>: <b>Which television show are you most excited about?</b>: <b>Which television show do you think needs to improve the most?</b>: <b>What do you watch outside of the Fall T.V. season (summer shows, hiatus shows, etc.)?</b>: <b>Who are your favorite television characters?</b>: <b>Old or current, what is your top television show of all time?</b>: <u>Random junk</u> <b>How often do you update?</b>: <b>Is there anything else you want to tell us?</b>: <b>Do you have a favorite gif or macro from a t.v. show (Please post just ONE gif if you post a gif.)?</b>:

Remember to pimp this out! And if you want to use the banner please don't hotlink! That's my own bandwidth. Here, use tinypic!

Author's note: I'm finally branching out from drabbles and ficlets, and I'm not even writing from Juliet's POV! That's an incredible turn for me, so be gentle - I've never written from Sawyer's POV before. Any comments are love and keep me going.

This is not a state of the pups post, but rather, who I play currently.

Author's notes: Definite spoilers for The Incident Part 2. This is for the prompt writing community themuseswithin. The prompt was a quote from The Terminator: "Pain can be controlled - you just disconnect it." - Kyle Reese The result is a depressing ficlet. Thank you SO much to my two very awesome betas allagainst and falco_conlon. You rock ♥
