enthusiastickHeroes was on fire last night, and I mean that in the best possible way. Maybe it has something to do with my love of Christopher Eccleston, whose hobo chic beard only makes him more all-powerful (NB: There's another German word I love, Macht, the full meaning of which cannot adequately be expressed in plain English. I nearly used it just now while grasping for synonyms to "powerful," thus proving that I would be happier if everyone had a smattering of German in their vocabulary. Chris Eccleston hat die Macht.) Or perhaps it was the masterfully understated cameo by George Takei. I suspect however it was a combination of factors, a blending of elements all in service of the Story, which after briefly holding back is tearing forward again, sprinting full-steam ahead.
SPOILER WARNING: Also my fanboy desire for a Peter/Claire pairing is ruined- ruined by the revelation that she is his niece. Wauggghhh.
Studio 60 was OK last night too. I'll admit it, I'm a sucker, and the ending got my blood pumping. Also I find myself caring much more about Simon and Tom lately, which I've come to realize is probably for the best. If Sorkin can succesfully get his audience to care deeply for a larger portion of the cast, then he might yet have a hope of turning things around for this show. I find myself rooting for Tom pretty hard when it comes to Lucy. The fact that Lucy is awesome and snarky and British and I therefore think she is a total hottie may or may not factor into that. I can't decide whether the whole fiasco with Matt and Harriet is getting better or worse, which is saying something, I guess. The trailers promise that the next episode will flashback to how they first met and made one another famous, and I find I'm very curious to see how that plays out. But then a younger, geekier Matt Albie is a very compelling notion to me, so that might not mean anything.
