Book Review: Heroes: An Insider’s Guide to The Award-Winning Show by Various Authors

Let’s start this review with some harsh honesty. Heroes started as a fantastic show. The acting, the directing, the pacing and, most importantly, the story – they were all brilliant. Unfortunately, like a shooting star, Heroes has lost something major in its last two seasons that it is still trying to recapture in its fourth.… Read More Book Review: Heroes: An Insider’s Guide to The Award-Winning Show by Various Authors

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 25 – End of Volume 4

So I finally cracked and watched the Season finale of Heroes. I skipped a couple of episodes (22 to 24, if I am not mistaken). I did feel confused once or twice, but thanks to the recap sequence and the slower pace of the show this season, it wasn’t that bad. This episode did, however,… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 25 – End of Volume 4

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 20, aka Volume 4, Chapter 7: Shades of Grey

Something about spring is making me quite philosophical – more so than usual. So when I (finally) sat down to watch Episode 20 of Heroes, I wasn’t as focused on the action as I usually am; instead, I found myself musing about its title. Life – and ensuing decisions – really are all about Shades… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 20, aka Volume 4, Chapter 7: Shades of Grey

On the Head of a Pin: How the Winchester Brothers Spin me round round round, round round like a merry go round round round round (original or remake, you choose) – Part I

I finally gave in. Some of you have been gently encouraging me (read: harassing me day and night via email, Facebook and telephone). Some others were a little more subtle; while you did see it coming, as evidenced by your emails, you didn’t outright say it, just sent me positive, encouraging and what you hoped… Read More On the Head of a Pin: How the Winchester Brothers Spin me round round round, round round like a merry go round round round round (original or remake, you choose) – Part I

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 16 a.k.a. Volume 4, Chapter 3

It’s getting a little confounding, converting the Season’s episode number to the Volume’s episode number, is it not? Soon there is going to be a Heroe’s Season to Volume converter… Now watch someone who reads this blog actually create such a thing… And you all know it’s a definite possibility! I was a little hesitant… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 16 a.k.a. Volume 4, Chapter 3

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 17, aka Volume 4, Chapter 4

Completing the review of Episode 17 (Chapter 4) tickled me enough to work on this one, especially since I am far less annoyed with Heroes now that I know it has the potential to become as awesome as it used to be. Then again, it could be that the hibernation is wearing off and I… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 17, aka Volume 4, Chapter 4

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 18, aka Volume 4, Chapter 5

Seriously – I shouldn’t be watching (or reviewing) this episode of Heroes since I have yet to complete the reviews of the last two. However, I have been working on the other two for quite sometime and, dissatisfied with what I have come up with up to now, have yet to post them. Perhaps reviewing… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 18, aka Volume 4, Chapter 5

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 15 a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 2

Rumours have it that Heroes is going back to its roots, trying to overcome it’s fall in ratings by returning somewhat to some of its original concepts. As I sat down to watch the new episode, I couldn’t help but hope that this episode would be somewhat of a return to Season 1-style Heroes, back… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 15 a.k.a.

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 14, a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 1 (this could get confusing)

I have a confession to make: I totally forgot about Volume 4 of Heroes starting this week. . I know – how shocking is that? I thought that maybe it meant that I was over the show, that it wouldn’t suck me right back in – but it did. Everyone together, on Aretha Franklin’s I… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 14, a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 1 (this could get confusing)
