In the 15 days after Labor Day weekend, we loss sleep watching all 34 episodes of the show (23 in Season 1, only 11 in Season 2 due to the Writer's Strike) on DVD. During the 2 weeks that followed, our quieter evenings, while pleasant in each other's company, were interrupted with occasional silent looks of "what do we do now?" and forlorn gazes out the window as we restlessly wrung our hands in anticipation of the 3rd installment.
The wait finally ended yesterday with a 2-hour premiere at the end of a long day of slapping the proverbial vein. Yatah!! While not as riveting as Season 1, Heroes will likely captivate us for yet another season. The difference now, though, is that we'll have to endure the hiatus between each weekly airing. Practicing the Zen of Patience...

Heh. That's exactly why I wait for DVD releases. I might be behind the times, but I can cram it all into a few weekends and appreciate a show even more. Have you considered The Wire? It's a grittier and not as inspirational (I imagine) as Heroes, but a downright excellent series, and it's HBO so the "seasons" are only about 12 episodes. :) I think you would like it.
that was fun to read :)
ARGH!!!! hasn't the week passed yet? -A
Hmmm...The Wire... Don't tempt me, Frodo!! :) Okay, I'll check it out on Netflix. Thanks for the recommendation!
