Heroes Fatigue

I think a lot of you won't agree with this, but Heroes is losing me. Last night's episode was a dud, excepting the twist ending and a few moments with the one character who finally gets something right. Increasingly, the series is morose, poorly paced, covering ground we've seen before, and relies on its characters being stupid time and time again. Even the good actors struggled last night. And it's not fun at all.

I'm not ready to drop it - I stuck with Smallville for far longer and through far worse before leaving it. But I am really wondering if this show will ever be as good as it could be. We saw glimmers of such possibilities from "Company Man" through the end of the first season. I'm not seeing those glimmers now.

Joss and James Gunn on the Writers Strike

There is no need for me to say anything when the writers keep saying it.

Here's Joss Whedon.

Here's James Gunn.

I have to wonder if the studios understand that these days, when writers want to say something, they can find an audience with ease. And that writers usually know how to say it.

That said, if anyone has seen any articulate posts or articles explaining the studios' PoV, I'd like to see them.
