Random Cult Musings

Heroes really is every bit as fantastic as I've been told. It's broader than Lost, more coherent than Lost and more involving than Lost. I can't wait to see where they take it, and unlike Lost, it seems the producers might be willing to reveal what's going on sooner rather than later.

Battlestar Galactica season three is also amazing. Making sci-fi and politics both engaging and sexy is no mean feat, but Battlestar has managed it, and the way season three is so different to the previous two (and a barely veiled take on the US's role in Iraq) has made it all the more surprising. While still adjusting to the idea that Dean Stockwell is a cylon, Number Six is still the finest and funniest of the fleshy toasters. And just when you think nothing's better than Adam's new 'tache, in walks a newly fat Apollo. Smashing.
