Thursday Televison Takedown

Ok, that title was lame...hella-lame. Anyway, it's not like we have an editor, so get over it. Tonight is a very special night for television. Not only is it the season premiere of the Office(hour-long, starts at 9), but we also get our third straight week of one hour of IASiP. So there is two hours of television(1.25-1.5 if you skip the commercials) for you enjoyment(except Pat, who apparently bought the starving law student cable package that doesn't get FX or FSC, which is gay). The Office will start out the season with 4 hour-long episodes, so be prepared to bring your own recorded sound track so you can enjoy it even without your sense of humor.*

I have not yet watched the House season premiere, but I did watch Heroes, which was pretty good. Some notes:

• The white samurai was kinda lame. I mean, wouldn't it have made more sense for Hiro to just time travel back right away. And regardless, why are they(Star Trek guy and Ando) sitting around waiting for him when he can time travel back to any day he wants. I think time travel in itself makes me frustrated because there's too many things that make it so implausible.
  
• I think the latina lady's power is like some kind of uber-opera singer falsetto weapon or something. They all seemed to be bleeding from the ears. Either that or some kind of roast beef weapon that makes their eyes bleed.
• Cheerleader's story was superlame. And Peter Pan was pretty creepy as well.
• Does Parkmen have no friends? None of them are wondering why he now lives with a 7 year old girl? Why does she own him? What kind of pussy is he?
• Who else besides me would get super excited if somebody was rushing at Mohinder and all of a sudden he punched them from like 10 feet away with his extending arms...just me? OK...
• I hope they explain how Nathan flew Peter up into the stratosphere and then didn't get hurt by the explosion. Did he drop him? I mean what the hell. Why didn't Peter just fly himself? Anyway, now Nathan's in the Taliban and Peter's hanging with there guys who make Paddy's Irish Pub look like it's straight from Dublin.
• I like swords as much as the next guy, but if someone marked me for death...I think I'd just get a gun...c'mon.
• From what I can tell they are going to start introducing a ton of new characters...which I'm kind of on the fence about. I'm a little worried about oversaturation, and the fact that I already don't really care about some of the characters they have.
  

OK, that's enough for now. Happy viewing.



*Sidenote: If you don't have the Third Season DVD, i recommend it. 3 hours of deleted scenes, including one from the Ben Franklin Episode where Dwight asks Michael if he came in his pants while getting a lapdance.
