Wow! Chuck just keeps getting better and they're skipping an episode next week for some SNL election promo spot.
Tonight's episode was one of the best so far - definitely in the top three. I had no idea Rush was considered a "nerd" band until a few years back. I have always loved Rush (I am a drummer, after all), but I was no big fan or anything. In my experience, Rush was always more of a gearhead band (motorheads - you know, the guys always tinkering with their muscle cars - I just didn't want to say "motorheads" to avoid confusion with the band)... and, of course, potheads.
As for Heroes... honestly? It's only on because nothing else is. After last week, I gave up on it. Going on three years is a long time to invest in something when you are continually disappointed by it - my longest romantic relationship was only one year! And I hated her! (Still do, I guess... not so much, though.)
Seriously though, Heroes started out as one of those "healthy" addictions - like working-out or eating well - and halfway through the first season, it took on all the hallmarks of a bad one: I kept doing it just because it had become a ritual; I kept hoping for that original "rush" that hooked me in the first place and kept being disappointed; and it was just sucking my time and life away with no return.
Maybe I'm in a better place now? I mean, no other network is going to program anything worth watching against it, so as long as I don't let it suck me back in, I'm safe with it just being around, right?
But isn't that what all addicts say?
No, no - come on! It's a... it's just a TV show! I can handle this. I can turn it off anytime I want.
