Look, I love bad, LOLcat-inspired grammar and spelling as much as the next dork — but in the right time and place. This? Is not the time nor place: “w00t,” an expression of joy coined by online gamers, was crowned word of the year on Tuesday by the publisher of a leading U.S. dictionary. Continue reading →

So I dropped the ball more times than I can count but here we are at the stand-in finale-of-the-season-so-far and I’ve got the laptop on my lap, ready to go. So what you get is a (spoiler-heavy) liveblog of episode 11 which is full of rambling, swearing, ire, small moments of happiness and a handful of questions.

So, yeah. I dropped the ball on the Heroes recaps. In short: The show got really stupid. Then it got a lot better. Then it got stupid again. Now, lord knows what it’ll do, as the Writers Guild of America strike will take its toll on this and every other show (note: I’m not complaining! I’m on the side of the writers, of course. But it’s a fact that this is going to disrupt programming all the same). Continue reading →
