Okay, there are so many tv shows that I have to start/catch up on that it's not even funny. So here's a list (mostly for my benefit, but feel free to add to my burden by suggesting other shows):

Bones! That was one of the ones I've been trying to think of.

I dunno, my best friend is watching it and she said it was really good until the third season. It's one of those shows that I've been meaning to watch mostly because I love superhero stories, but I'm torn. I've read the basic synopsis on Wikipedia and I'm kinda :\ about it. I'll probably watch the first few episodes and see whether I like it or not.

It gets really complicated, but then, it's a superheroes themed show, and those always get complicated. Season two ended up being complete fail because of the writer's block, and season three got WTF because the writers tried to compensate for their tiny penises past mistakes, and I hear season four's kind of rebalancing everything.

Teen Titans was great without being complicated (not saying Heroes should be a kids-centered cartoon, but they could certainly stand to make Heroes a bit less complicated, right? I got lost trying to read the plot scenario.), but I hate when the plots get unnecessarily complicated. One of the other things I didn't like about Heroes is that the cast keeps expanding and everyone has superpowers and some people have the copying ability which just makes them even more powerful. And the whole writers strike thing did not help.

Teen Titans was good, but have you read the original comic version of it? Hoooooly fuck, I lost track of how many times Raven/Starfire/Robin/the weird looking extra on page three, panel eight of issue five died and then got resurrected.

Expanding casts suck too, but the good thing is, there's more people to kill off. 8]

Yeah, but that happens with any comic, really. The writers try and come up with new forms of omgdrama, but it just ends up feeling monotonous.

Good point. Is Heroes actually killing off people? I know you mentioned a couple people died, but do they stay dead?

Yeah. Like Naruto and D.Gray-man. That's the reason I refuse to read/watch Bleach. But I really do like Heroes, Peter Petrelli is D:D. Because, gah, emo bangs, but oooh, emo bangs.

I would've said no, but I just watched pretty much *the* best character death(s) on that show the other day. It was fucking amazing. So yeah, it's actually killing off people. Not just background people, but semi-main characters. Or at least secondary characters that play big roles. Like Hughes. D: But yeah, awesome character deaths that were kinda painful to watch but so. fucking. good.

Sigh. DGM is rediculously complicated now.

...Wonder if he bought the emo bangs from Pete Wentz: EMOgul.

There's a change. Have you finished the WTF seasons yet?

Also, you should seriously watch Dr. Who. It's amaaaaaaaaazing. <3 David Tennant is seriously awesome, talented, and good-looking. :3 Apparently he plays Hamlet in a movie production thing that plays on the BBC channel the day after Christmas and I kinda wanna watch it, if only to get rid of the image of a 40 year-old Hamlet. And because I saw a clip of it on YouTube--Tennant is fucking talented, holy shit.

...I need a Dr. Who icon.

I refuse to read DGM until the manga's finished. I will not stand for this hiatus shit! >|

Lmao, that's what I wondered too. There's this one scene where it looks *exactly* like the bangs on that PW commercial. Milo was on the Ellen Degeneres show talking about how people didn't recognize him as Peter Petrelli when he was on the street because he wore his bangs on the other side of his face, and people would be like DO I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE and he'd be like *hair flip* YAH I'M PETER PETRELLI. I love this dude.

The wtf season was pretty much just the first half of season three. The second half was pretty good. And I've been planning to watch Dr. Who, I just have a shitload of stuff lined up. One guy from Heroes, Claude the invisible man WHO CAN'T STOP STARIN' AT THE MIRROR, played the ninth freaking doctor. :DD I LOVE CLAUDE. I THINK PETER SHOULD LOVE CLAUDE TOO.

Argh. I hate hiatuses. Hiati?

looooooool, that's great.

It's great how the actors keep popping up in random things like that. The ninth doctor was really good, too.According to his Wikipedia page, he's been in a lot of movies and tv and stuff. His season of Dr. Who is good, but it's not as good because Tennant is awesome and hilarious (when he's not being uber depressing). And really adorable.

And if the storyline's complicated, you have no idea wtf's even going on when the work finally comes back.

He dressed in drag in another movie and danced to I Will Survive while singing in a falsetto and shaking his ass. Oh, *Milo*. And this other dude, Zachary Quinto, who plays Sylar the brain stealing serial killer, had the absolutely amazing lines "TASTE MY BISEXUAL RAGE!" and "Why do I only have half a glass of water? Is it because I'm only half straight?" in another show. Oh, Sylar. I can't take you seriously anymore.

The ninth doctor dude, in Heroes, chucked a guy off a *roof*. He's also the one in the slash map who was linked to the pigeons.

Argh, I know. And then you have to go back 20 chapters just to remember.
