I liked the inclusion of Kristin Bell- amazingly enough, it took me a few episodes to realize who she was, and I thought of myself as a Veronica Mars fan. Really, that&#8217;s just me not paying attention. However, the pacing of Season 2 was just odd. Hiro&#8217;s Japan adventure seemed to go on too long for what it did, as did Maya and Alejandro&#8217;s journey to the U.S. The last couple of episodes, in particular, seemed rushed- trying to stuff as much in as possible to conclude some of the season&#8217;s stories. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love Heroes, but I&#8217;m hoping for more in Season 3.<\/p>\n<p>The show we really dug, though, was newcomer Chuck. Q was happy that Adam Baldwin came out, because she thinks he&#8217;s hilarious (and I can&#8217;t think of him without singing &#8220;Jayne- the man we call- Jayne&#8221; in my head). But for me, the show just clicked. I liked the action, the romance, the gaming reference, the geekery. I liked Chuck and Morgan&#8217;s interactions, and Chuck and Sarah&#8217;s confusions. I appreciate that Zachary Levi (Chuck) and Joshua Gomez (Morgan) went to conventions, and are gamers.<br \/>\nOf course, we&#8217;re such geeks that we wondered what was up with the Stanford Library using the Dewey Decimal system in the show- really, I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ve converted to LOC by now. :P<\/p>\n<p>Also, I started watching G4TV juuuuust a little bit. Honestly, I forgot that I had that channel after it merged with TechTV. Then someone showed me a show called CodeMonkeys.
