Heroes is Alright

The last few episodes have really picked up for me, this is a relief because I was starting to fear that it was going the same way as most American shows of a similar ilk — mind blowingly amazing first few seasons and then it descends into utter nonsense (I am looking at you Alias and Lost!).

I do still think it’s a little that way. How many times can Hiro need to save the world? How are we meant to care when someone dies because we know they are unlikely to be actually dead. How are we meant to take story lines seriously when we know that they can just explain anything away with time travel — time travel, the laziest form of storytelling known to television.

But at least it’s moving at a fast pace, there is character development and twists a plenty to keep it at least interesting.

Dead Set for Halloween

Have you heard about Dead Set?
It has Davina McCall in it as well as some well known ex Big Brother UK housemates — the basic gist is that out in the real world people have begun to rise from the dead and go on a killing rampage, your basic Zombie tale, only those inside the Big Brother house are unaware of the horror that is going on outside. It sounds freaking awesome, aside from the tie in to Big Brother which is always going to score points with me, it just seems like the sort of perfect Halloween night viewing I enjoy.

I am actually going to a Halloween party the night it airs, my fiances boss is throwing it and I am semi helping him plan it…I say semi because he has it all basically down pat, he runs a catering business so already knows how to throw a bash…but I am chipping in with ideas and design tips and the like, as I am known as ‘The creative one’ in our circle. To be honest I’d be totally lost without sites like Celebrations.com to help me out, but shhhh, don’t tell my friends that. You can get expert advice and tips, share ideas with the rest of the community and even get information about what the celebrities have been getting up to at their soirees! I love their idea to paint pumpkins rather than carve them, that will save a whole world of time and effort :)

I am so telling him about that and to put Dead Set on the big telly next time I speak to him :)
