Budding Heroes

The latest two episodes of Heroes on the Sci-Fi channel (Chapters 8 and 9) are really starting to reward my patience during the first few episodes. The story lines are really starting to interweave and a number of the Heroes are now working together.

In the second episode "Homecoming" Peter gets the opportunity to "Save the cheerleader, save the world" and face Sylar. Its good stuff and it was good to see this event played out reasonably early in the series.

I'm still enjoying all the bit's with Hiro in them but I'm warming to many of the other characters now. It's also good to see that other supporting characters (ie. not the original heroes) also playing important roles.

In a shock TV viewing move I've also just watched (in one week) all 5 parts in the latest series of "Monarchy by David Starkey". It's a history programme and not cult or geek TV. Goodness what's come over me?!

This particular series covered the reigns of Charles II to Victoria. This was really interesting for me as it is a period of history that I've little knowledge of at all. Starkey delivers the story in a clear and entertaining manner which I thoroughly enjoy.

It's just a shame that, with my sieve like memory, I won't remember much in a few months time!
