Sox Get Smoked/ Fringe in Worcester

The JJ Abrams suspend your disbelief thriller "Fringe" has been the one show that has come out of the Fall season that Crystal and I could both agree on being a worthwhile watch.

Of course tonight's episode got kicked to the side so I could watch the Red Sox stumble out of the the gate and get their asses handed to them by the upstart Rays. The game was pretty much well in hand for the Rays at 9pm, but I stayed with the game rather than switching over to Fringe.

After cruising the internet after the game I see mentions on Worcesterite and Daily Worcesteria that Worcester was prominently featured in Fringe tonight, although many of the Worcester scenes were not actually shot here, it is still cool to be featured in the show in a roundabout way. But I missed it and I am still sitting here steaming at a Red Sox loss at 12:34am.

At least the episodes do run on the Fox website in full, although maybe not until next week sometime. I'll provide the link when it pops up as available.

Heroes > 24

Jack Bauer I hate to say it you have officially met your match. Look on the bright side Jack. It seems you can kill and defeat and human, but that might be the case when it comes to those who are "special".

After watching the first new episode of Heroes last Monday and finding out that 24 episodes are available via Amazon and Tivo unboxed I flipped the script on the Tivo and kicked out Jack Bauer in favor of Hiro Nakamura, Peter Petrelli, Mohinder Suresh and Claire Bennet. I figured it wouldn't kill me to spend $8.00 to watch the rest of 24 via unboxed in order to record Heroes in HD and watch as soon as I get home at 9:30.

And after watching tonights head twisting episode of Heroes I can say I don't know if there has EVER been a better first season of television. After seeing Jack save the world so many times it becomes a bit predictable, which is one of the last words I would use about Heroes right now.
