I too was disappointed about flyboy. But I suspect he’s an astral traveller or something along those lines rather than a flyer.

Hiro’s cliche is different. It’s Man goes back in time, finds out his hero is a complete jackass and sets out to either turn him around or else take on the name and become the hero.

Beard growth: Four months is enough time to grow such a beard. I did. Though it’s a little too neat.

Parkman. This plotline is going to break my heart. You can tell the nosy teacher is going to have child services take away Molly.

I thought it was a good season premiere. It caught you up with most of everyone (except nikki/jessica and her storyline) and let you know what happened to them since last season ended. They also introduced some new heroes and was able to create some mystery surrounding each of the new ones plus they set up some plot points for the season. Don’t give up on them yet.

I let eye candy do anything.

The verdict is still out on Chuck, but if it can manage to be to Alias what Scrubs was to ER, then it has promise. Especially if they rely less on the “man’s face in another man’s crotch” humor and stick more to the “Captain Awesome” jokes.

I don’t mind the virus-frying a laptop in 30 seconds, so much, because Chuck is more a spoof on the whole spy genre. Earlier in the episode, we saw a track-gymnast-engineer-turned-spy steal secrets, and blonde-Sydney take out two agents with hair implements before she outran a suburban in a tiny plastic car. If I can suspend disbelief to accept everything else in the episode, sure, I’ll believe Chuck can also do the impossible.

I do indeed plan to review Chuck. Just didn’t wanna overload on the blog posts. Expect a Chuck review tomorrow.

And now for something totally different-are you going to comment on Chuck? I am definitely less computerwise than you guys but I have questions. Why do all bad guys who use computers to run bombs put the timer on the screen? Can you guys really open a new window, find the wireless, log in and get to a website not on a favorites list and download a virus in 29 seconds? And what is the dos interrupt for? If Jack Oneal can have the wisdom of the ancients downloaded into his head, maybe Chuck can memorize hours of photos and make the mental connections to produce coherent intel. But virus fry a strange laptop in les than 30 sec? And back to heroes-I don’t have enough lifetime left to grow a beard like that. If I didn’t go to church weekly I’d only have to shave monthly.

I’m sorry but you’re wrong – I can grow a thicker beard than that in TWO months.

I agree about the slowness, but I liked the ending, and I agree that the Butlers are not long for the town. And I liked the setup to show that HRG is still a bad ass. I think in no time flat there’ll be plenty of action.

Although I disagree with your assessment of the show, I loved your post. Really well written and I like how you did bullet points on the major characters, hitting the highlights in so few words.

Maybe my love of last season tinged my review…? Nah. When “24″ went south last season I saw THAT clearly. :-)

I think part of the problem was that they set up so many story threads in just 45 minutes worth of episode. I’m thinking as each story unfolds within the larger it’ll work and you KNOW that Claire and family will be leaving sitcom-land very soon.
