People who ring doorbells at eight in the morning can bite me.

Particularly if they're installing Dish network for someone else. *groans*

You know, concerning last night's Heroes, I had a thought. It was mostly about Hiro's arrival in New York and Isaac's comic book. I don't know, I was just thinking about the timing of the comic and the visions contained therein when the events of the first episode happened on October first and the stuff in the second episode happened on November 8th. It made me wonder about whether or not Isaac can see the past, too, but mostly I was just thinking, "Oh, Isaac's poor brain."

Crap. Is it next Monday yet? *whimpers*

On the other hand, Studio 60 is losing me for three reasons.

1. The skits on the show aren't funny. Which is sad, considering how witty Sorkin can be, because the actors are holding their own. It's not them that's the problem (see: Sarah Paulson doing Holly Hunter voice), it's the writing.

2. The political ribbing is tired. For someone who wrote The West Wing, that's just not right.

3. The religious bashing (particularly "Science, Schmience", which ... seriously, that was supposed to be funny?) is pissing me off. It probably doesn't help -- or does, I suppose -- that Harriet is awesome and should probably smack everybody on the show upside the head. Especially Jordan, who appears to have robot face.

Urgh. I need to go take a nap and then answer some freakin' email for once.

i'm so sad to agree about studio 60. the funny is being decidedly unfunny and i'm tired of jokes at the expense of the religious right. it's the first time that sorkin recycling things actually feels... recycled.

turns out i want to see how the sausage gets made without actually having to eat it.

I watched Heroes last night with a neighbor who just happens to be one of those very nice people who also attends church every week. When Studio 60 came on, we settled into watch it until that stupid religious bashing came on and sickened both of us. As she put it, she'll take that crap when it's funny, but that was just put in there to offend someone.

And I have yet to find someone who understands why I go, "IT'S MERLYN!" whenever I see Sarah Paulson. >_>;;

I don't think all of the events in the second episode happened on November 8th, just Hiro's. I think we're still in his October 2nd.

And something completely random that I always wonder about. How do they know what day their episode is going to air at production time, so they can sync up their timeline with the viewing audience? How do they know this?

Oh, yeah, I know. I meant just the events of his storyline, not everybody's.

That's a good question about Isaac. I don't know.

It takes a while to pen and publish a comic book. Most likely the visions were in the future when he put them to paper.
