The once and future lawyer though he has trouble admidting it, is becoming quite the Heroes fan. Here is his latest blog post about Episode two. Don't let the obvious negativity fool you, read between the lines to find a Heroes lover at heart.

Conclusion:
The end of the episode at least starts to tie the semblance of a television-worthy plot together. I hope they do a better job with the character development next week, and I think the psychic cop?s character has the potential of bringing them all together once Hiro can bust him out of prison. Assuming that this snag remedies itself in the first few scenes of next week?s episode, it appears the Fly and his brother may be sharing the ?central character to the plot? role with the psychic cop (nickname forthcoming).
Addendum (Gripe one):
Somehow the writers forgot that cheerleaders don?t practice on the football field, and most coaches frown upon non-athletes walking through practice. If you?re going to have a high school storyline, Dawson?s Creek is not the model to use and neither is Saved by the Bell. I can only assume that whoever scripted this must have dreamed of being an athlete because they certainly didn?t get it right. And fyi, the cheerleaders in high school generally wear their uniforms on days of football, basketball games, key wrestling matches, or pep rallies, not for practice.
If Heroes is going to keep going with this high school storyline, and I?m not saying they should or should not, I suggest the writers hire the varsity club president of some local high school to help consult with them during his or her offseason or get him or her to make a recommendation of someone who can make the show's portrayal of high school a little more believable. The last thing we need on tv is another Laguna Beach, since that's real life. I saw that Heroes is produced by ?Tailwind productions," which uses a pole vaulter for their icon, which is great. On the assumption that this company must have some roots in track & field, then I'm going to assume further that someone connected to the show participated in *varsity* athletics at the high school or college level, and they must be insulted by this misleading portrayal of high school life/sports.
Other observations: I must have seen three or four x-men commercials. Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one? Aren?t they trying to distinguish Heroes from X-Men?
