It's that special time of year again: UPFRONTS!
This week is upfronts. For the people who don't know, upfronts are when the American broadcast networks announce their schedules for the following season, in this case autumn 2007-2008.
Today, NBC announced its schedule, and since it's the only broadcast net with shows I actually watch, this will be the only one I talk about.
The Good: Friday Nights Lights, our most beloved show, is coming back.
The Bad: They're moving it to Friday nights. At 10pm.
Consensus: They could have just stabbed it and saved us all the pain of a slow death.
The Good: Heroes will be back in the same time slot next year.
The Bad: Dude, we have to wait until September. That's, like, a long way away.
Consensus: In conclusion? NATHAN!
The Good: There is going to be a Heroes spin-off called 'Heroes: Origins'.
The Bad: There will be none of the original characters. Actually, this may not be a bad thing at all. Maybe we can get some Daddy Petrelli!
Consensus: I got nothing. That's now 30 hours of Heroes.
In conclusion? NATHAN.

A spinoff? Really? I know that they were talking about it when they said that the second season of Heroes wouldn't have a lot of season one's main characters. Then they changed their minds--they got wind of the whole "if you get rid of Sylar, Nathan, and Peter, we'll have to kill you off slowly" thing. I'd really like to know about how sword-wielding badass Papa Nakamura got involved with Primatech Paper, but I'm more interested in what Papa and Mama Petrelli can do. I'd like to think that Peter's dad is an empath. Sure, it could be Angela, but she's just such a bitch (she's awesome, but she scares me so much at the same time). I mean, Claude--and everyone else Peter knows, for that matter--kept saying that Peter cares too much, and obviously Papa Petrelli cared enough about something to try to kill himself more than once...
Uh... sorry for the long comment. What can I say? I got excited. I'd like to say that it will never happen again, but I'd be lying.
