Because I'm a million years behind everyone else

I finally watched Heroes last night.

Okay, I'm liking the show.  I need to go back and watch the other eps.  I think it helped that Adrian Pasdar was in it a lot last night.  There are many, many things that I'm willing to sit and watch for glimpses of him.

I feel a bit lost since I've only seen chunks and pieces of other eps, but I like that there's a whole underlying mystery and the comic book aspect is fun.  Plus Greg Grunberg is always fun to watch.  I'm thinking I'll be giving it a try from here on out.

Also viewed last night? CSI:Miami aka How can we get viewers to mock us?

As many of you know, I'm willing to put up with a lot from CSI:Miami.  For whatever reason Horatio Caine has this weird pull on me.  Plus I enjoy the eye candy, which is really what the show is.  The "OMG!Cringe" or  "Point and Laugh" moment last night was when Horatio drove an SUV with a ticking bomb in it out to the beach (nice that there was absolutely NO TRAFFIC) and then calmly got out walked away and put his shades on as it exploded.  The topper?  As he's walking away he says "Burn baby, burn."  WTF?  

I know that all of the CSIs are notoriously bad with puns, etc... but this was just O_o.

In bouncy news, I had a great time playing Sims last night while watching.  Sadly though I know that there is no way my lappy can handle the Pets expansion pack.  I do have plans for Ralph II though.  It will have to wait until after BASCon, but I'm going to be getting an HP this time.  We get a good deal on them through work.  The one I want is going to run me about $1500 total.  Not cheap, but not bad for all the bells and whistles (including built in web cam) that I'm getting.  Plus it's pretty and black.  It will also be able to handle all of my Sims2 games.  YAY.

Mmmm, Adrian Pasdar.

He's very pretty to look at.

BURN BABY BURN.

So awesome!

PS: I saw you at the bus stop this morning! You were putting on eyeshadow. It was pretty!

Ahhh! At least it's not me stalking you this time. Now I'm going to be all self-conscious when I sit there. *g*

I just couldn't believe how over the top cliche CSI:M got last night. I find it amusing until I think about the fact that they're probably not trying to poke as much fun at themselves as I think they are.

Your shamefaced second comment in my journal made me laugh. Every CSI: Miami fan I know has a very similar reaction to loving their show.

I keep hearing Caruso say the "Burn baby burn" line and then tacking on an equally deadpan-yet-overacted "Disco inferno."

All that PLUS Ryan Hurst? I feel like I totally missed out on TV magic last night!

I could never fully explain to someone why I watch this show. I think it's one of those things that has an addiction factor for some folks.

Sadly Ryan Hurst was in it all too briefly. He was a bit confuzzled most of the time.

OH! And did anyone tell you that the show closed with none other that Chris Isaak's "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing" playing? It was FABULOUS cheese platter for all.

No, you didn't mention the Chris Isaak. I will in turn mention, without much shame, that I saw Chris Isaak in concert and made a total middle-aged-woman-in-a-mid-20s-gal body spectacle of myself with the flailing and the screeching.

I laughed so hard at the "burn baby burn"! And the sunglasses! OMG he put on his sunglasses BEFORE he got out of the car! That was the funniest scene on CSI Miami ever.
That was the first episodes I watched this season, after deciding that I wanted to give up, and as amused as I was, I don't think I will watch another ep any time soon.
