Ya, I've never liked Heroes. Its not only that its a rip off of X Men, and, more especially, The Wild Card book series. Rip offs can still be good when done right. But I find everything about it to be awful, from the horrible acting to the clunky as hell dialogue to the relatively uninteresting plots. I've never watched the whole show straight through (just seen the first few episodes and then some others here and there from seasons 1 and 2) but I can never maintain any interest in it.
Anyway, now I'm watching Buffy, season 2. I'd seen season 1 about five years ago and thought it was all right, and then saw several random episodes lately, some of which were completely awesome (musical!!!!!!), so when I saw season 2 on sale, I decided to go through the whole thing. Six or so episodes in, I can say that when the writers are on fire, they're really on fire- the first episode with Spike is phenomenal. Too bad they're seems to be so many filler episodes, but at least they're entertaining and the writing nearly always witty.
Oh ya, and I really want to see Deadwood season 2. By the end of the first season I had fallen completely in love with the show- but unfortunately, HBO box sets are ridiculously expensive.
