Except the first season of Heroes! But yeah, the second and first half of the third season I watched WERE definitely like that until I had to stop midway in the third season.
On my way to St Hives I met a man with seven Hives...

Hero
a kid clone
ironman homage (homage to Ironman or Superman.... your pick)
cyborg (later evil cyborg)
eradicator (I don't remember his intro.... )
oh.... and when he "returns" for real he is both both Blue and Red energy forms.....
No wonder the tv version shot himself.... he saw what he was to become!
(my bad..... bad taste I know)

Although, that would have been an interesting couple of episodes of Smallville.
I haven't managed to be excited about that show since season 1. It feels like every episode had the same plotline.

Hero
Its TV so that will happen. 90% of it is a soap opera. The other 10% is tieing in comicbook cameroes and history which is what I like. Seeing the Legion appear was nice and in the 9th season (got but have not watched yet) there is the JSA appearance of Dr. Fate and Hawkman.
Heroes was awesome except for much of season one was the Byrne / Claremont X-men of the late 70's and early 80's. Still good but non-comicbook fans overstatement of it took some of the fun out of it. Kinda like Starwars, if you have read any Joesph Cambell books about heroes and mythology then it was obvious. Still good
Ahhhh.... time for work. Later.

Today, I was part of a very profound RW lesson: if you're going to screw up, don't be the biggest screw-up in the room.
I was in probate court today, and I noticed the Judge was a tad...miffed...from the moment my client and I walked in. One attorney was late, but we started without her, on time. She arrived about 5 minutes after the hearing started. Throughout it, he looked like Chief Inspector Charles LaRousse Dreyfus- Inspector Clouseau's boss in Peter Sellers' Pink Panther movies- right down to an eye-twitch.
My client got what he needed, then the Judge asked him to leave the room while he talked to the lawyers.
Me, he chewed out because I had some incorrect signature blocks- where there should have been spaces for his name and county, etc., I had put in spaces for another county's notary public- an affront to a man who is proud of his position, county and city. It was as if I didn't care, as far as he was concerned. OOPS! I apologized, with much respect.
Then he turned to the other attorney, the one who had been late. "Does he set the docket?" pointing at me, then to her, "Do you set the docket? Or do I set the docket?"
...and instead of saying "You do, sir." or "Your clerk does, sir.", she started "Well, you see I..." and was cut off with
"Whoa! This is a softball question!" and some more interplay occurred before he turned, looking at me "You can go now..."
As I reached the door, she revealed that she had been in the courthouse that morning and confirmed that we were still scheduled...and was still late.
THEN he blew his stack.
Me? I was sooooooooooooooooooo out of there.
And as we leave the courthouse, my client turns to me and asked "WTF?!?! I heard him start on y'all...and that was a THICK door!"
All in all, a stressful day- but my client got what we went into court for, and whatever butt I lost today will grow back.

Did you use the Chewbacca defense?
I've been playing with my new expensive toy.
I wish it came with a manual that actually explain everything.

Ever since I read Virtual Light I've wished that I had glasses that explained the world to me.
I was in a productivity session yesterday. Some executive I swear I've never seen before pops up and starts talking about this brand new awesome thing called Web 2.0 that we should start using 'instead of the Internet'. I wanted to stand up and strangle him with his iPad. I'm not really sure how the mechanics of strangling someone with an iPad go, so I didn't.

Bad jokes aside, I do logistics for a multinational. I try to keep a low profile on the net, because the people I work for wouldn't get any of it. I don't mean that they'd think that there was something wrong with wasting time playing games on your own time, I mean they really wouldn't get any of it. These are people for whom work is life.
The point is, every time someone comes up with a new better way of doing the electronic side of the business our productivity spikes. And then you have to waste more time explaining that it was the idea that was bad. On rare occasions they have professionals implement good ideas, and what happens? Productivity spikes anyway, because we have to adapt to it. And then waste time explaining that it was a good idea, this is just a 'normal' spike. Ugh.

Web 2.0 was so 2008. Retro-web ftw!*
You know that explains why he fails at the internet.
