Heroes Strikin' Out

[botias]

I tried to watch Heroes the other night, Episode 1, season 1.

Strike 1: Pritty professor guy talks about how we use only 10% of our brain. Yis, and don't forget that masturbating will make you go blind and you should always forward virus warnings to everyone you know

Strike 2: First female character is a sex worker

Strike 3: Second female character is a cheerleader

If the professor is actually supposed to know not of which he speaks, then my respect for the show will be raised a smidge, but I probably still won't watch. Frankly, too guy porn for my tastes.

Definitely try it out. I'm predisposed to not like it as well. But by the latest episode, I'm gnawing my fingernails off waiting for the next ep.

I hated the first ep of Buffy when I saw it premier as well. I was a vampire purist who was disgusted by the "vamp face" and the dusting. I intentionally avoided it ever after… until I flipped through channels and inadvertently landed on "Halloween" in re-runs one night. Since then, I've regretted missing out on watching from the beginning and feeling that unspoiled excitement.

"premiere" ::sigh::

As a vampire enthusiast, purist even, did the dusting and vamp face arise with The Lost Boys? I'm thinking somebody on the Buffy staff watched that flick. It even has the bleach blond vamp w/ flappy coat I had the poster on my wall for the longest time IIRC
