I am here to say that, yes, I have fallen for another fandom. After the incessant whining of trakkie in person and linaerys on lj and pretty much everyone else I know (yes, even the non-fandom, non-sci fi friends who don't understand me when I scream spoilers! spoilers! and plug my ears) I have now watched all of Heroes.

New icon to celebrate. Yay!

Watching Heroes is like watching a puzzle being put together. Each character has a set of problems and each character has an ability, and watching it all back to back, as I did, I kept thinking about how you needed to line things up to get the right abilities together to solve each problem. It's kind of neat.

This is the type of show, though, that I prefer watching on DVD to weekly on TV. I tend to like shows best that are episodic with plot arcs weaved in (like Buffy, or Supernatural, or X-Files), whereas Heroes is like one sixteen-hour movie. But I suspect that now that I'm up to speed I'll have to watch it week to week just so I can talk to my friends.

Yes, yes it does.

I was afraid of that. Mostly because of the teasing that would then follow, especially from my roommie (who sees conspiracy in my laziness when I don't get up to turn that off after Smallville).

Plus, viridian now has that on her list to consider, so the ranks are closing in. Fortunately, she's more likely to make me watch Angel.

...wait, no. That's not more fortunate at all!

I can lend you my season 1 DVDs. :) And I say this as an Angel fan--Supernatural is a better show.

(Look it's my SPN/Angel icon!)

If viridian wants to get into it, I'd consider it. I'm not slogging through that on my own--Angel or Supernatural.

Either way, alcohol will be involved, I'm sure.
