If you want to know why I loved Brian Lynch's writing and Urru's art on Spike Shadow Puppets and Asylum, and why I'm looking forward to Angel: After the Fall, go read elsie marvelous review which can be found here: http://elisi.livejournal.com/297149.html?style=mine#cutid1

Am avoiding the Heroes debates, mostly because I think people are ignoring the fact that what we see on tv reflects what is going on in our world. Like it or not, we live in a misogynistic, chauvinistic, racist society. Heck, name one show on TV that doesn't reflect that in some way. I can't think of one. Better yet, name one advertisement.

Exactly. I kept deleting posts in which I stated - uhm guys - this is a tv show. It's not meant to educate. It's not meant to be politically correct. It's just a tv show meant to sell advertising space. Don't like it? Don't watch it! No one is making you.

Of course we all rant from time to time...I ahem, have been guilty of it. Did it with Supernatural, but that was mostly because I was trying not to like the show. Now that I've ahem, fallen in love with the characters and become hopelessly addicted, I'm tad embarrassed about that. Hypocrite, me?
Nooo. Hee.

At any rate, I completely agree with you. I enjoy watching Heroes. I know its not politically correct but then nothing is and the things that are are incredibly dull. The problem with art is it is bound to offend someone, it wouldn't be good art if it didn't. Or at least that's my view.

That's exactly the purpose of art. To evoke an opinion or reaction.
