Heroes. Season one is in the books.

It has been quite awhile since I have been utterly and completely addicted to a show. "Heroes" fills that void that's been empty since "Seinfeld" went off the air. It's nice to mentally book off a particular night of the week, reserving it for a show. I was introduced to this show by a rather large, or "fuller-figured" lady at work here, a person we affectionately refer to as "Jabba the Hut" (Jabba? You reading this?).

But what a cool ending. The villain was killed, or was he? New York didn't explode, although two heroes perished as the explosion was diverted (or did they really die?), and all the heroes managed to be in the same building plaza, in a half-hearted attempt to show that they are somehow connected. Its sets 'er all up nicely for season two, or "volume" two, as the show likes to say. There's more to Hiro Nakamura than we thought?

But its going to be a long off-season. I'll miss Jabba thundering her way over to my office to discuss the previous night's episode. I'll also miss my Engineer co-worker friend's incessant complaining about his perceived "holes" in the script writing, how certain parts weren't believable (apparently a guy walking through walls is okay). The chit-chat is almost as fun as the show.

So, that's it for this season. But, the show is so well written, I'm going to get into the re-runs. I'll just bet that there's some hidden stuff in there that alludes to volume two.

I watched the first couple of episodes and missed a few, came back and, was, well Lost. I think Hunter S. Thomson is still alive and writing for Lost.

Catch the re-runs, brother. You will not regret it.
