Too quick with the "Send". Addendum -- she only saw the flashing lasers and the zippy spaceships, not the deep thought and moral/ethical implications of the work. Not even LeGuin's "Earthsea" works could move her away from her stance.

This brings up a question that I heard on the radio last night. Is scifi dying? Has writers in modern times forgotten what really makes scifi tick is not a dependence on gadgets or powers but the story behind it.

I'll probably begin watching it in two years, when it lands in syndication, just to see if I actually missed anything. Which I doubt'll be the case.

I have to admit, I missed all of last season. A lot of the buzz I heard about it from all over the place, though, was that "Heroes" wasn't very good. Some say it was okay, better than the abbreviated season two, but nowhere nearly as good as the debut season. Others--and that's a lot of folks--have said it's just no longer a good show at all. What do y'all say? Anyone here still faithfully watching? If so, what are your thoughts on the show to date? Bing brings you health info from trusted sources.
