Heroes

Okay: so, I've been watching the Heroes marathon on SciFi (it's a cold, rainy, crappy day in New Jersey--what would you do?), and I have some thoughts.

Yes, Milo Ventimiglia is a total cutey; Zachary Quinto is sexy in a really creepy sort of way; and Sendhil Ramamurthy is dreamy. And the production design and art really are great, and I love that somebody finally took a chance that the U.S. market is smart enough to handle a program in multiple languages, beyond the occasional explosion of Spanish from an angry Latino, that is.

But, the story's derivative and predictable.

As popular as it is (and I understand why--to the uninitiated it looks novel and creative, and I grant that the story is timely and pertinent) I'd give it a B- (and that's being extremely generous because I like the art).
