That's not...40% of the main cast is non-Caucasian. That's not un-diverse. Also, the "heroes" are a sampling--others are out there, so you're just assuming, Darwinically, that they are mostly white and male. I guess I can't be disappointed, because my expectations weren't different. I admit the only female I really like on the show is the girlfriend-of-the-painter/daughter-of-the-dying-man, though.<BR/><BR/>I don't think the stripper-heroine power is related to an alternate reality because this is about genetics, not science fiction in general.Natalie J.

So great to see you over here!Good poi...Hey, Rose! So great to see you over here!<BR/><BR/>Good point about JJ's role in Six Degrees--makes me feel much better about not liking it. :)<BR/><BR/>Greg Grunberg on Heroes adds to the JJ-type feel of that show, too. :)<BR/><BR/>I was aware of the background of Ugly Betty but I didn't realize it was so much more vicious. I CRIED at the American version. I'd hate the original. I love that Daniel has some compassion, which balances the pain of what she's enduring. I couldn't watch a show that was nothing but negative.Natalie J.

I think its more 6 Degrees than the actual 6 Degrees show with all the connection between the people. I already like some of those people and their abilities. and that Indian guy is perfect eye candy for a Monday night.<BR/><BR/>To me 6 Degrees is not a JJ Abrams show. He has the name as an Executive Producers but he did not write or direct the Pilot, that what would have made it a JJ show. He wrote and directed the pilots for Felicity, Alias and Lost those are JJ shows. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I also watched Ugly Betty last night cute show and since I'm biligual I've sort of known about both the Colombian and the Mexican version that is currently showing on Univision now. This version is so much kinder than the Spanish versions those are cruel and catty and so so mean. I had always made fun of my mom for watching it and now I'm doing the same. In the spanish version her boss is the most self-centered,horndog who sleeps with anything that moves and uses Betty and her business know-how(since he knows nothing about the business)to make himself look great and not giving her the credit for the work that she does.<BR/><BR/><BR/>anyway, I'm waiting to see "The Nine" and "Daybreak"(Daybreak filmed and explosion scene just outside our parking lot last Friday and I told the location manager that I was looking forward to watching this show. He was very nice and paid us 500 bucks just in case debris from the explosion landed on our parking lot. did I tell you that they filmed this in the middle of the night when no cars would be in the parking lot.)<BR/><BR/>I ready for the beginning of Lost next week. I'm not really spoiled for anything this year and hope to continue this way.<BR/><BR/><BR/>RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617199.post-1159566006551145512006-09-29T17:40:00.000-04:002006-09-29T17:40:00.000-04:00I think with Heroes, it's going to be a slow build...I think with Heroes, it's going to be a slow build and I hope the network lets it be. There are so many characters that you can't just dump everything on the viewer at once.<BR/><BR/>I agree about Prison Break. It's still plenty suspenseful, but the first season was just SO tense.<BR/><BR/>Eureka's season finale is next Tuesday, though I'm going to miss it because Veronica Mars starts back that night.<BR/><BR/>I think you'll like Supernatural. I LOVE it. The beginning of season 2 was great.<BR/><BR/>Also love Bones. I heart Seeley. :)<BR/><BR/>I think the only new show I've been watching is Men in Trees, which I like.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617199.post-1159454250508645672006-09-28T10:37:00.000-04:002006-09-28T10:37:00.000-04:00I think I only got into Eureka, Mary, because ther...I think I only got into Eureka, Mary, because there was nothing else on. Last season's TV gave me a routine, you know? And I was like a junkie. :)Natalie J.

I don't think I've watched any new shows. Wait - Standoff. I like Standoff. I like the intelligent romance between the two leads.<BR/><BR/>I like Bones better this year, wanted more Pam and Jim on The Office, laughed my ass off on My Name is Earl, thought Grey's Anatomy should get a B- for too much going on.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to Supernatural, thought I've only seen the first 4 episodes, and Lost and The Nine. <BR/><BR/>I can't get into Eureka. I've tried. Seriously.MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.com
