I was really happy this past Monday, because for the first time this year, I was going to be able to blog right after seeing a TV show live, something I have not been able to do since starting school.
I ended up going to bed bitter and disappointed. It was really my own fault; Heroes had been going nowhere fast all last season, but I had heard good things from Comic Con. I really don’t know why it merited a ten minute standing ovation. The group that I watched with stayed in stunned silence for two minutes then shuffled out.
It seems that I was not the only one dissappointed. The premiere attracted 9.8 million viewers, in stark contrast to Dancing With The Star’s 21 million. To repeat: The Heroes season premiere had less than half the viewers than a regular season episode of DWTS.
