Heroes

Ok so I admit I'm a bit of a sci-fi geek but I've really enjoyed this television show "Heroes" 10pm Monday's on Sci-Fi, it's probably in it's 2nd or 3rd series in the US by now.

It's coming to the end of the 1st series and I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching tonight's episode. I must admit I think all the hype around this series is worth while and I'm not a person who gives praise likely.

The finale is on July 16th so that's 3 more episodes and I'll be on holiday!!!! I can't bloody believe it, I've watched the past 20 odd weeks and I'll be away for the final 2. Now I did consider changing my holiday but I think I'll just have to settle for watching it when I get back.

How I got started watching the series is quite a funny story, I had avoided watching it because of all the hype surrounding it and that usually means they've spent more on the marketing budget than the actual program. So anyway Sci-Fi were repeating the first 3 episodes back to back one Sunday, I had watched a film so the television was on the channel. I was talking on the phone to a friend and the was sort of watching the program at the same time, talking for 3 hours on the phone is not uncommon for me. It seemed quite interesting so the following night I sat down and watched the next episode and quite enjoyed it.

There are episodes I felt you could miss and not actually miss any of the story or plot, I really hate it when they try and stretch the story out that little bit longer to make another episode or two and I felt they have done this here. But saying that the last few I've seen have felt like too much was squeezed into them so I think it's a case where they stretched the wrong part of the story.
