Heroes Retrospective: Six Months Ago
1. Coda the First to "Save The Cheerleader", as we jump back six months before the events of "Homecoming". I suppose my biggest problem with this episode is that, while it purports to deliver the "origin stories" of the cast, it actually raises two questions with every answer. We learn how Sylar became what he is, but not the specifics of his power ( Read more... ) -
Heroes Retrospective: Homecoming
1. Also known as "The One Where All Hell Breaks Loose", this episode serves as the climax to the "Save The Cheerleader" arc. It's worth pointing out, again, that this storyline lasted for five episodes, start to finish, and included foreshadowing, character development, action, resolution, payoff, denouement and the creation of new story threads.

Heroes Retrospective: Seven Minutes To Midnight
1. This is where Mohinder's storyline started dragging its feet. He stares. At a key. For hours. Before unlocking. The drawer. Ugh. This is a rare example of a Heroes subplot being mangled: Mohinder spends the next two episodes in a holding pattern, going around and around until he ends up right back where he started in the pilot. It's... well, it' ( Read more... ) -
Planet Hulk
I'm prefacing this review by saying that my expectations for "Planet Hulk", and the standards to which I held it, may have been a bit too high ( Read more... ) -
On the subject of Narbonic
The pool was refilled...
"Alice in Wonderland" set Dave off...
That beautiful "dream gallery" at the end, and Dave's childbearing predictions actually coming true...
Shaenon Garrity, I salute you. I am in awe of you. I am so very, very glad to have read "Narbonic". -
Oh dear.
I honestly don't know where the time's gone...
* "Poor Unfortunate Souls" by the Jonas Brothers is just the cutest Disney remake I've ever heard. Teen rock meets Ursula. I love it ( Read more... ) -
In the words of Hiro Nakamura, "Greato Scotto!"
I just saw the secret ending to that new remix/whatever-thingy of "Kingdom Hearts II".
Bloody Hell. That's the kind of ending I wouldn't mind slaving over Jiminy's journals for.
Wow. -
Missing In Action
Between "Narbonic" and "Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls", I don't have much time to keep up the usual posts. Catch-ups to follow as soon as I kill that *&!@#& Shinryu and find out what Future Dave meant about refilling the swimming pool... -
Heroes Retrospective: Nothing To Hide
1. This isn't one of the more engaging episodes, as it deals almost entirely with subplots that aren't going anywhere. The lead in the Sylar mystery fizzles, as does Matt's newly-found marital bliss; DL spends all his screen time spouting platitudes at Micah, whose view of the situation is shockingly simplistic (isn't he supposed to be a ( Read more... )
