New Seasons Begin

I watched the openers for "Prison Break" season 3 and "Heroes" season 2.

I hadn't seen the second season of "Prison Break" but did watch the finale. iTunes had the premier of season 3 as a free download. The scheme this season is this: there's someone in the Panamanian prison who wants Michael (Wentworth Miller) to break him out and apparently arranged for his capture and incarceration at that facility. They've taken Lincoln Jr. and Sarah hostage. I can't say I'm eager to see much more of this prison where the convicts run the show and settle disputes in fights to the death in the courtyard.

The opener for "Heroes" was a disappointment. Someone dies and pretty much everyone in the finale was seen except the annoying Sylar and DL-Nicki-Micha group. We were introduced to a few new characters including a brother and sister on the run to the U.S. from Latin America. The other character is someone from the "company" who recruits Mohinder. This fellow's power is one of Midas demonstrated when he turns ordinary tableware into gold. He looks like Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer but with many Bill Gates' affectations. It annoys me a bit. I've seen in him other shows and never been a fan of the actor.

I looked at a few seconds where and there for "Journeyman" but it held no interest and once I saw Reed Diamond, Mike Kellerman of "Homicide," I gave up completely. I've heard "Gossip Girls" was really bad but haven't see it for myself. I'll try-out "Bionic Woman" on Wednesday only so I can give an informed opinion. "CSI:Miami" has some new guy in it. The crime didn't hold my interest and I gave up better than half-way through.

So far the TV season is off-and-running with a dull thud. It's early yet. These days there's always film or YouTube alternatives. I was momentarily nauseated to realized I can vote in a presidential primary in just three or four months. All the major party candidates make me grit my teeth.

Leon is back from holiday in Japan. Vacationing Murray is still invading Europe.

I changed the litter box a little while ago so kitty can be pleased with me. I'll have to get her food at the store very soon. I think I'll get ice cream when I go.
