TV rant... And spoilers, I guess.

That is not right. Y'know, Bryan Fuller has all these amazing shows and what happens to them?
Dead Like Me? Cancelled.
Wonderfalls? Cancelled.
Pushing Daisies? CANCELLED.

Dude, what's up with that? Yeah yeah, he's going to go write for Heroes. Whatever. I'm still not happy. Pushing Daisies is too awesome for words, and we get According To Jim being given an eighth season. EIGHTH. I almost wanted to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon after watching one episode of that. Don't get me wrong. I love Courtney Thorne-Smith. I love love Annie Banks (okay, her name is Dana in the show, but really, she'll always be Annie Banks to me)
But Jim? Seriously? It's not his looks, in case you think I'm going down the route of "How the hell did he manage to get Courtney Thorne-Smith?". It's the way he is. Women want to be married to that? Guys are like that?
I get it. It's supposedly funny because it's practically removed from reality. But helloooo, Dead Like Me? Behind the scenes on grim reapers. Wonderfalls? Girl can talk to psychic inanimate objects. Pushing Daises? Guy can resurrect the dead (albeit for only a minute). How much further removed from reality do you want?!

It's almost official that people don't realise the good things that are there in front of them. Stupid ratings.

Bother.

Oh and by the way, Heroes.
Tell me you did not just kill Elle. Tell me you didn't and maybe I'll forgive you. Tell me Sylar didn't actually just do what I think he did. Tell me anything except for the fact that Elle just fucking got killed off.
I know that Kristen has like stuff to do outside of Heroes, like the five films (awaiting for release, in post-production and currently filming) and Gossip Girl, and whatever else. But did you really have to kill her off?
She is the only character I actually like. Claire, I tolerate and everybody else is just plain annoying. And when I say everyone else, I really just mean, Peter, Hiro and Matt.
Tell me she's coming back and then I'll really forgive you.

Over-reacting? Whatever. Elle's my girl, she may have been damaged, but she totally should have been given the chance to redeem herself. From the interviews I've read, Elle just has to come back because the stuff that we had been promised to see, not so much of that popping up just yet.
So, dear TV gods, bring her back.

*sigh*

At least I'll be seeing Kristen in them films. I'm glad about that.
