Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
(1) Jericho has somehow become totally fucking awesome. Like, last season, it was just a guilty pleasure. But this season? I don't think a single episode of Heroes set me off like tonight's Jericho did. Not even "Powerless". And speaking of "Powerless"...
(2) Tonight's episode of Jericho featured an Indian doctor giving an injection to the tortured ( Read more... )

I tried watching this show last year and hated it. Then my BFF said, "Look, watch it with an eye for the comedy, because there are a lot of stupid people to laugh at." And I realized she was right - Jericho seems to have a very high percentage of people who were probably still eating paste in the sixth grade. But then? I realized just how awesome Hawkins is. I mean...oh, man. He is the voice of reason. And of awesomeness. And then I realized Jake is fairly awesome, too, when he isn't emo-ing like Peter Petrelli. (Hawkins is good at talking him down from that in S2, though.) And now, frankly, I was excited about this season just for Hawkins' sake.
Seriously, though...the writing staff of Heroes honestly needs to take a page from the way Jericho's season has been laid out. Cut out the extra crap and focus tightly on a half-dozen awesome characters. I mean, I am supposed to be writing a review of this episode, but I cannot, because I am so freaking keyed up that my review would basically just consist of the word "AWESOME" repeated over and over and over again.
My BFF is currently flooding me with texts because she's very concerned that I may be on the verge of abandoning Sylar and getting a new TV boyfriend from Jericho.
(I continue to have a lack of Hawkins icons! That is most definitely NOT awesome.)
