TV advertising just keeps getting more and more intrusive. We’ve learned to put up with bugs in the corner of the screen, bugs that dance across the screen, and now, last night on Heroes, was the first example I’ve seen of what looks a helluva lot like a Web banner ad: The damn thing is … more…
The most interesting stuff in this episode is not the werewolf — not that the werewolf ain’t cool and all. It’s the Doctor and Rose, and how relaxed and easy with each other they suddenly are.
