Glad I'm not the only one horribly behind with Heroes. *facepalm* Have you managed to catch up at all yet?

And what's the story behind the Romanov family, if you don't mind me asking? I can't watch the Yahoo news video at the minute -- people are watching TV behind me. And you know I'll forget to watch it later, lol. *blushes*

Oh don't worry, I am sadly 4 episodes behind now. Even my sister is more updated with Heroes and I was the one that introduced it to her :/

Oh, the Romanov family is the last official monarchies of Russia. After the Soviets took over, they were imprisoned and killed. However (until that news), nobody was able to find the bodies of the 2 younger daughters, the most famous, Anastasia. Therefore, many people believed them to still be alive. There's a movie and even a cartoon loosely based on this historical event.

Actually, Wikipedia has a better synopsis of the mystery, if you're interested.

Lol, isn't that always the way? :P Unfortunately, something tells me we'll be having a lot of marathons in an attempt to catch up with TV shows during the Christmas holiday. If we can find the time amongst all the Christmas specials, of course. *rolls eyes* :)

That sounds really interesting. :) Thanks for the link -- I'll check it out when I've finally caught up with emails, lol. *blushes*

I need to catch up with life too. Just finished up the rest of Heroes yesterday night. What a revelation! I'm still rooting for Papa Bennett and some samurai sword fighting :)
