Fall TV

Fall TV has officially kicked into gear today, with the season premiere of Lost. And boy, was it a doozy! What sucks is that we'll only be getting six episodes before it goes into hiatus until February. Matthew Fox--or at least his character Jack Shepherd--is one intense dude (also, he's a bit of an ass). Looks like we also settle the Jack/Sawyer/Kate triangle.

We stayed around to watch the series premiere of The Nine, with Jack's little bro Scott Wolf. I guess it was okay--the only problem was I kept thinking that Audrey's boyfriend Jack Bauer could've saved them with little fuss.

Heroes is also a pretty cool show, although it moves a bit slowly and is a bit angsty. It's cool discovering their "powers", though--so far we have a telepath, a prognosticator (or "prognostipainter", as I read somewhere), a person who can bend the space/time continuum (who is also the best character, kinda like Naruto in his innocence), a person who can fly, his brother who might be able to fly, a girl with a healing factor to rival Logan, and a stripper who has a doppelganger.

Oh, and Hannibal Lecter's lurking around somewhere. Braiiiinnnnnssssss....

The Amazing Race is also back, and is slowly washing away the bad taste of the past two seasons.

Surprisingly, one of the better premieres is Ugly Betty, which is Salma Hayek's Americanized version of a telenovela. I didn't expect to enjoy it--but I wound up watching it while I was washing the dishes.

The only thing left is the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica. So, my TV viewing week is like this:

Sunday : The Amazing Race, NFL
Monday : Heroes, Studio 60 (if we get around to watching it)
Tuesday : nothing, really. I missed the premiere of Friday Night Lights
Wednesday: Lost, The Nine
Thursday : Ugly Betty
Friday : Battlestar Galactica
Saturday : Legion of Superheroes
