This Sales Man’s Life

I just watched the latest episode of Heroes and 24 and all I have to say is:

BLAHHHHHH!

I can’t shake off the flatness that is the plot and character development of these 2 once loved shows.

I think these writers and creators are really just dialing it in.  Its sooooo much of the same – Get some original ideas that haven’t been done to death already. I think they go to the local comic shop and just steel ideas.

Stop making everything so linear – Take some hints from Lost, Damages or BSG and tell a story thats more complicated than A to B to C-  IE -now the Heroes are going to be hunted and they must work together to survive.

It’s just not that interesting any more.

I think I’ll go read a book.

I did begin to read a book – the new John Grisham “The Associate”  -review to come later.

Regarding leaving 24 and Heroes – I’ve come to the realization that there just isn’t a lot of good shows on. So regardless of my thought I should stick with it.

PS – If you want some good TV – check out BSG – it is really good – even if you take the Sci-Fi element out of it.
