of hypes and bandwagons

I was trying to explain about people's habit when it comes to TV shows, movies and games when I realized it went on for far too long and complicated and I realize most people these days haven't the time to read long entries nor have the capacity to do it, and don't feel like writing an essay on it so this is what you'll get instead.

If you watch a series or buy a game because of the hype it simply means the marketing works. If you've never seen or play whatever it is you're avoiding because it's "overhyped" or "everyone's doing it so I won't" you're a bit a retard, WHY? because you don't know what it is (note: this is very different from being disinterested). Before you make a comment about something make sure you know what you're commenting on otherwise you'll look like some stupid tart who never passed 1st grade because you were too busy sniffing glue.


compare these four different answers below and see which one fits you best (all answers are real answers I've heard about one TV show):

1. "I'm not going to watch that show because everyone else is talking about it"
2. "I didn't like that show because the characters are too generic, the story is repetitive with no real direction and I'm generally not amused by it"
3. "I'm just not interested in that kind of thing"
4. "it went on for far too long I just lost interest"

...I think not!

I just watched the pilot episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles suffice to say I'm interested.

Heroes season 1 finale

The bad thing about living outside the US is you get to watch the good TV series later, the good thing is you don't have to endure mid season hiatus' which is becoming somewhat of a plague in American TV series lately. That's not the point of this post though, I just watched Heroes season one's finale and I thought it was somewhat anticlimactic when the big destined fight was a little more than fisticuffs, I'd actually like to see something in the scale of the Peter vs Sylar fight in episode where Hiro went to the future but I guess they have a good reason for that. I do like the cockroach showing up at the end though, the season began with talk of cockroaches and ends with a cockroach (the bit with Hiro arrived in past is season 2).

At the end of the episode I found myself wishing I had the same ability as Hiro for the sole purpose of jumping ahead in time to watch the next episode of Heroes.
