I liked S2 of Heroes as well, thought it was cool. I hope the schizo bitch is actually dead.

I want to see how much time, exactly, thael spends watching tv.

Actually, I don't want to watch anything on TV, if something is worth watching I'll wait for the DVD.

The season premiere of Sarah Connor was great. Pushing the story of the robot takeover and the kid that plays John is not a a screaming little punk. Oh, and a new t-1000 was revealed. Good times.

Looking forward to presidential and mostly,. vice-presidential debates. Heores should be good. They combined two season's worth of goodness to keep it moving at a pace the fans won't wine about (season 2 was not too well received). Lost is nearing the end of its run with this season. If you haven't seen it, rent season 1. The Ultimate Fighter season 8 starts. I think they are heavyweights this time. UFC needs more good heavies. Cheyne, netflix TUF season 1. Then talk to me about your thoughts on mma. Burn Notice is ending its summer season. Another show worth renting. Clever, funny, has Bruce Cambell,

damn, i didn't know SCC came out already. :( i missed it. maybe its on the network or youtube.

heroes is looking promising this season, but i hope they don't focus too much on the boring characters and that niki stays fucking dead. and that mohinder learns not to be a fucking tool. and that sylar isn't the focus of the villains.

house is fun, but the end of last season leaves things a bit angsty, and i despise angst in my shows, at least when it isn't wrapped up quickly. so hopefully things go back to normal, or house raises the dead, or something.

i'll put it in my netflix soonish (i love you for taking things from mine btw, you boost my rating). my general feeling about mma is that it is better than boxing, especially modern-hug-and-don't-fight boxing, but that the ring puts conditions on the fight that warp the outcomes of the fights so that the best combatant doesn't always win, and so that groundwork is alot more important. no kicking from the ground, forced confrontation/contact, the use of fakes and uncommited attacks not seen as much in real fights, lack of external threats, and especially the inability to win by breaking/throwing(except in rare circumstances) unnaturaly limits many arts (4ex: basic throws in much of kung fu involve commitment of balance from the attacker to an attack, and result in a break/throw that ends a fight, and moving into a static position to apply the break as a hold just isn't possible, making judo much more preferable). but like i said, still not bad... just limited and skewed.

Heroes and Ghost Whisperer!!! I read the cover for entertainment weekly I believe that stated that they were bringing House back to what it was like before the last season, so rejoice Cheyne no more angst.
