tv party tonight

Heroes and Rome are back! Heroes starts exactly where it ended in December. Peter Petrelli is in a coma and the Haitian has erased the memories of all people who witnessed Sylers attack on the cheerleader Claire. The Haitian continues his own mysterious agenda and Hiro looks for his sword. It was a good start after the cristmas break. Not as good as episode 11. But good. There are some interesting new threads that I look forward to see how they'll develop. Especially the Haitians secret agenda (is it a secret?), Peter Perellis interest in Ted the radioactive man and the new character Claude. I really hope that Eden isn't as dead as this episode suggests. If so I'll miss her a lot.

Rome also had a great start. There have only been two episodes so far. But I liked them. I don't think it's a farfetched guess that this season will focus on the Second Triumvirate and Gaius Octavians long and violent way to power. It will also be interesting to see what will happen to Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo. I have a feeling that they might find themselves supporting opposing forces in the near future. Lucius is connected to Marcus Antonius and Titus is close to Octavian. All the tragedies that have struck Lucius lately have taken their toll. He has started to call himself a "Son of Hades" and has been chosen by Marcus Antonius to take care of Romes criminal elements. Seems like they have all the necessary elements to make great entertainment. I hope they don't blow it.
