Dresden & Heroes

I have to admit it. This week Dresden files was even better than Heroes. I know I have a hard time believing it, but its true.

Dresden files was really great with the whole Vampire needs a detective to track down who was trying to assassinate her, and then later frame her.

Not a ton of magic, but the story didn't need it. He used magic to get out of some handcuffs. He also used a hockey stick as a wand and fought off the vampire he was working for when she got some drug that makes them go crazy.

Overall really excellent.

Heroes was still good, but not great. It stuck with one story the whole show with flashbacks into HRG's past. He's been working with this group for 15 years. You did learn a couple things.
1. That Hiro's father is a major player in this organization and was the one who told Mr. Bennet (aka HRG) he would take care of Claire.

2. That the invisible man (aka Dr. Who) was HRGs partner for several years until HRG shot him.

3. That HRG really has a disgust for people with abilities. He doesn't even see them as human. Other than Claire, who he loves very much and wants to protect.

4. That Claire can take a ton of damage. shot and killed, regenerates. Burned with a small low level nuke explosion and heals, no biggie. Tough girl. Just because it heals doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when its going on. I'm a bit surprised she was even able to walk after being burnt so badly.

5. In the end, HRG is willing to be shot and have his memory erased to let Claire have a chance to escape with the Haitian.

I guess it was a bit dissapointing in that I had figured out 90% of what he did. It didn't show a whole lot of new stuff, just a few faces I wasn't expecting.

Now the previews... Thats another story. Simone comes back? Another healer, Sylar is being tested by Suresh, Nathan and Nikki are fighting, Hiro gets his sword...
The next few chapters look awesome.

Until next time...
