Heroes

If you’re not currently a Heroes fan, then get to it. Since I never have time for regular TV watching, I schedule in large blocks of time where I view a season at once. Instead of waiting to download them all through bit torrent (Don’t know what bit torrent is? Start reading.), you can click this link to see every episode that GE owned NBC have kindly made available for your viewing.

Power Rangers Finally Explained

Since I am continually spreading the rumor that Hillary Swank in the Reaping was once the original Pink Power Ranger, I was researching for more falsifiable information and stumbled on something much greater. It turns out every episode of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers can be described by the following everyplot:

1. Rangers are seen in everyday life with a dispute to resolve.
2. Rangers are attacked by an evil foe’s minions/footsoldiers.
3. Rangers fight minions/footsoldiers.
4. Rangers morph.
5. Rangers defeat the minions/footsoldiers.
6. Evil enemy strengthens the minion and makes minion grow to gigantic proportions, followed by Rangers summoning giant machines known as Zords and/or their combined form, the Megazord. Optional: Rangers find that their current powers are insufficient to defeat minion and discover a new power, such as a Battlizer armor for the Red Ranger, or a sixth Ranger and/or a new Megazord.
7. Rangers fight and defeat that particular giant minion.
8. Rangers are shown back in everyday life, having learned a life lesson which solves the earlier dispute.

Too bad real life can’t be as comically predictable, except for the whole having to use Zords to fight minions grown to gigantic proportions.
Thanks to this unfortunate site for the picture.
