I am thinking that when "Heroes" returns for a third season, I may not bother to watch it. I know that season two was severely curtailed by the U.S. writers strike, but that was no reason for the finished product to be so dull, smug, humourless, over complicated and, frankly, as boring as shit.

Yes, I think that that has decided it. Do I want to watch a show that is dull, smug, humourless, over complicated and as boring as shit? No, I don't think that I do. I had read the negative reviews coming out of the states and I ignored them. (Then again, season three of "Lost" was also getting pretty negative reviews and, after a slow start, I thoroughly enjoyed that season when I watched it recently.) I regretted staying with "The X-Files" once it became obvious that David Duchovny had lost even a pretence of interest in the show and I don't want to be stuck in front of the TV again watching something that I am not really interested in.

Life is too short, isn't it?
