The bad news: It is at 2am
The good news: I’ve got Sky+
The good news: The last episode of Heroes is on this Monday on the Sci-Fi channel. I love this programme. One episode a couple of weeks ago was so tense, I had to stop watching for about 15 minutes to calm down.
The bad news: The last episode of Heroes is on this Monday on the Sci-Fi channel. No more Heroes ![]()
The good news: It’s starting on BBC2 next year. I can watch them all again as see how the Heroes progress.
The good news: Following a comment on Hg’s blog I started watching Jeykll with episode 2. I liked it for all its faults.

I’ve kind of lost the plot with Jeckyll. Tried to watch the last-but-one episode but got distracted while it was on so videoed the rest. Then videoed last week’s. I don’t feel any urge to catch up.
Heroes, on the other hand, is superb. Not entirely sure how I feel about this notion that the second season will be very different: http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=40354.
I think Catherine Tate has the potential to be quite good, but I think it’s wrong to cast such a high-profile TV figure as one of the companions. I thought John Simm was wrong for the same reason.
And then there’s Cape Wrath… watched the first hour of the opening episode and videoed its final 40 mins. I do feel the urge to watch that one, though more to see if it’s going to get any better…

Maybe my enjoyment of Jeckyll has been enhanced by watching them out of order. It added a sort of Memento like feel to ep2 where clearly the characters knew more than me. Ep 1 cleared up a lot of the mystery so maybe I won’t like the remaining episodes so much.
I can’t even think about clicking that link until after I’ve seen ep23. I rather liked Catherine Tate in the Christmas special but thought that the character had only one ep in. I remain to be persuaded.
John Simm was clearly cast because of Life on Mars, but I felt it worked anyway.
Cape Wrath… caught 5 minutes of it the other day, but needed to go to bed and the 5 mins I saw didn’t grab me. Must say, I don’t know anything about the programme anyway.
