I miss the season-long mysteries, especially the one in the first season — that was solid — although I guess it’s easier for the writers to maintain this format. Marketing wise it helps too because viewers now don’t have to see it from the beginning and can just jump in between story arcs. I miss some of the regular characters too like Mac and Wallace, they don’t seem to have as much airtime now.

Re Heroes, yes Arn was happy Peter wasn’t in it too and that it featured more of Matt, his favorite character. (Grabe Sylar never fails to creep me out, even while wearing a Ramones shirt)

And interesting cliffhanger. So it’s a two part mystery in a five-part mystery? How do you feel about the move away from season long mysteries?

Iyay actually is OK with the character. She hates the actor. This week’s episode was her favorite because he wasn’t in it. That and all the suspense!

Thanks for the plug! Oh my god, we’re obsessed with the same shows! Yes, there’s a reason Cast has a “Martian” feel, though strangely enough I only sought it out for research on doing detective stories, and I just fell in love with it! It’s surpassed Friends and West Wing on my watch list. But I can’t get Iyay into it for some reason. Hmm.

She loves “Heroes” too, except Peter whom she despises. The actor, not the character. She finds his “Keanu’s acting in Tobey Maguire’s body” irritating.
