Heroes, the Super Bowl, and Bring It On-er

Heroes had its first new episode in over a month last night, and it did not disappoint. It was a little surprising, since I think I often find that a long hiatus in this kind of show just ends up making you less interested. The whole thing driving your desire to watch is the constant wondering of what's going to happen next, and having a long hiatus means that this desire wanes until you eventually forget what you were excited about to begin with.

This is closely related to the whole 2-weeks between Conference Championships and the Super Bowl issue. The AFC Championship game was one of the best ever, but yet by the time the big game rolls around, most people are going to forget that they were ever interested in watching it. The things that keep the Super Bowl going are the huge amounts of advertising and the various SB parties that people like to hold. Maybe people have Heroes parties too.

One last thing related to Heroes is the direct to video movie Bring It On: All or Nothing. This is the 3rd movie in the storied franchise and I can't really remember what happens in it except that it hurt to watch it, and that there are two people from Heroes that were in it. See if you can figure out who the 2nd one is. IMDB is cheating.

So you're saying that Bring It On III is bad? Really? It's on my Netflix queue and I was so excited about it? Is it Princess Diaries II bad?

Yeah, I had a hard time remembering the cliffhanger events from the end of the fall portion of Heroes. Maybe a clip show would have actually been appropriate in this case.

Bring It On: All or Nothing was pretty good! Way better than the second one anyhow. There was someone other than the main cheerleader? Second movie that was ever on my netflix queue. =P
