I also gave Heroes a try, but was not impressed enough to watch the whole episode, therefore no
review. The current issue of Rolling Stone magazine rates Battlestar Galactica as the
best show on television, and Heroes as one of the worst.
The second half of the second season of Battlestar Galactica is out on DVD, with lots of deleted
scenes. A lot of good scenes had to be cut to allow SciFi channel their 17 minutes of commercials in every hour.

The season premiere of Smallville was fairly exciting, but all too often I could quote the next line or predict
the next scene, which means that writer Stephen DeKnight is not trying hard enough. The episode wraps up the Zod plot,
at least for the time being, and introduces some nifty new monsters. Jimmy Olsen ("I've decided to call
myself James. James Olsen") joins the cast.
