Catching up on my Tivo crap. South Park was great this week, I imagine they had to get some permission from the Warcrap people to use those logos and game sequences, but they did not seem to pull the punches on making fun of Warcrack...
Finally saw Heroes episode 2 all the way through, this thing is not a "superhero" show, it is a fucking mystery ( Read more... )

Yeah, uh, so if I don't have to work or have anything else in the way that weekend, I might come down. Of course, I'll need a place to crash...

YOu had an inside track on Night Nurse, didn't you?

night nurse from the old marvel days was a horror/romance hybrid.
the new one is featured in doctor strange.. and i think she is appearing in some of the civil war and spider-man books.
now she is a doctor who helps out superheroes who cannot go to the hospital because of secret identities.

I don't keep track of alot of marvel's superhero stuff, but that sounds like a cool way to bring back the name.

Being a longtime Dr. Strange fan, I picked up the new issue and BOOM! There she is, merely a few days after you made a reference to her, and she's been personna non grata for over 30 years. I figured you might have been ruminating about her with your super secret Comic Book Guy cabal and one of you bugged a Marvel board meeting where they discussed bringing her back.

i hear that that heroes show is basically just them splicing lost and fucking smallville. two popular shows that aren't fucking reality shows and are embraced by the "TV in-crowd". although i think only weirdos watch smallville. like people who have no business being alive types of weirdos.

it's a little more refreshing than another crime lab show. but from what i've seen the commercials make it look more cool and interesting than the actual show itself.

i am all in it just to see hiro's story, and maybe the cute cheerleader chick...

the indian guy is kinda unique on television, makes it feel like the unbreakable movie universe by having a shyamalan ripoff guy as a scientist
