This New York Times article about current TV shows is fun. I went to it for the Torchwood mention - which is a big spoiler if you haven't seen the end of series 2 yet, and most Canadians haven't.

I was amused by their easy acceptance of slash:
HOUSE (Fox, Sept. 16) Will prime time’s most unhealthy, obsessive love affair — the one between Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) and Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) — survive the fact that House was instrumental in Wilson’s girlfriend’s death? Early episodes are inconclusive, but we all know that they’ll patch things up somehow.


I don't like the comments on Heroes at all. Sounds like more new characters (faugh) and focus on the old characters I didn't like (Maya). Ah well: gives me an excuse not to watch, when I don't have time anyway. Who am I kidding? Of course I'll watch, initially at least, if only to see how Nathan Petrelli survives - and because I want to see Peter Petrelli again.

I think the Petrellis and the Bennets have become more interesting because we got to know them better; more attention was given to them and the actors got more of a chance to get into the characters. I have long been annoyed by the lack of development given to the beautiful Mohinder - whom I wrote off entirely when he betrayed Bennet for the Company.

My point being: it isn't that the Bennets are intrinsically more interesting than everyone else in the show, it's that they were made more interesting. No accident.

I like the idea of having a lot of super-powered characters, some transitory, but I think we need a core group to focus on and care about. I find it hard to care about Maya.
