TV thoughts,
What a pile of cliches Heroes turned out to be. I think everyone on this list, including myself, could have done a far better job of writing that show. I mean, did we really need three different characters going off on how Nietzscheanly special they are before they even knew what their powers actually did? And why did it have to be the Asian guy who can do awesome things with his mind? Couldn't they have gone against type and made him a tank who couldn't step on anything without crushing it?

Claire was the only character they really handled right. At least she actually used her abilities for good and didn't talk like a philosophical construct. But that's not wnough to keep me watching.

As for Studio 60, Matthew Perry and Sarah Paulson simply don't have the chemistry together to make the whole Matt/Harriet thing work like Sorkin wants it to work. If the show ends up being all about them and not at all about rebuilding the show-within-a-show, it'll probably lose me too, but it hasn't quite yet.
