HEROES SEASON FINALE!!!!! ALREADY!!!

Posted in The Tube at 3:09 pm by earl

Ok, let me see if I can get this straight. Heroes was planned on running to the end of Volume 2-Generations (The Second Season) on Monday, December 3rd, due to the fact that Season 2 was different from Season 1. In Season 1 there was a HUGE storyline that spanned 23 episodes. IT would make sense for Season 2 with some mini storylines to cut short at 11 episodes. It would also make sense for me to throw my TV out the window yelling “I’M NOT WAITING FOUR MORE MONTHS FOR MORE!!!!!! THIS IS A RIP-OFF!!!!!” NBC would then plan on airing the next season shortly after. More episodes have been shot, but it’s most likely they would air when the next season goes into production, so the next season doesn’t get interrupeted *cough* SEASON 1!!! It’s also been reported that NBC is going back in and re-filming an ending to the December 3rd episode, which would better suit it as a Season Finale. This is mainly due to the Writer’s Strike. If the Strike is averted, they will use the original ending and go on with the season with the original story arcs in Season 2. If they do end the Season, those stroy arcs better be on the DVD. So basically, we have two possibilities:
#1-The writer’s strike goes on (which it started on the day I’m writing this), they conslude with a now-shooting/pre-shot finale to this current season on December 3.
#2-The writer’s strike is averted, and Season 2 goes on with some pre-shot episodes until the pre-planned Season Finale date sometime in May most-likely. Hey, I’ll write for Heroes!

So, more than likely, Poss. #1 will be the case. I guess this means no Heroes Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hannakuh special J.D. Moment: (Sylar-Hohoho……(Cuts someones head) Maya and Alejandro roasting by an open fire! Sylar can be Santa, and Peter, Nathan, and Niki can be the reindeer. Of course, we’d have to accomadate Suresh’s Atheism.) Sorry about that. It happens. At least we have Chuck.

Spore on the Wii!!!

Posted in Video Games, Weapons of Mass Enjoyment at 1:54 pm by earl

A little game that made a big splash at E3 a couple of years ago was Spore, a game created by the genius behind The Sims 2, Will Wright. In the game you will control a creature that goes through the world gradually working through the ranks. You will FULLY coustomize your…..whatever and watch him grow and fight other…..whatevers. This is proof the Wii can handle a big game. Spore does not have a release date yet, but it looks to be worth the wait.
