TV Shows: Drive Revs up, Heroes Returns

Save the cheerleader, been there done that, hows about you save some room on your DVR. The hit show Heroes returns this evening for the final 5 episodes. Where did we leave off. H.R.G. has lost his memory but his wife was helping him, however he was found out by the shape shifting chick. Peter is in a battle with Sylar while Mohinder hangs, literally, in the balance. Claire has caught up with her real parents. Matt seems to be now working with the company that H.R.G. used to work for. D.L., Nikki/Jessica and their whiz kid… I have no clue, they weren’t very interesting to begin with. Hiro has claimed his sword.

The final five episodes hold the keys to the resolution of this year’s story arc. How to stop an exploring man.

On Drive we will see our hero Alex Tully slip behind the driver’s seat of his car, a black, 1972 Challenger. We saw last week that our hero has a past that he has tried to forget but old habits and talents die hard. Alex took to his machine like a duck to water and blazed a trail up to Rome Georgia. So we sit and wait for the movie to begin in tonight’s episode.

TV Show: 3 Hour Drive Premiere

Sure this is a little late but yesterday I was finally able to watch the 3 Hour Drive Premiere. Did I like it? Yes, I most certainly did like it. I cannot get enough of shows like Heroes and Lost and Drive is in the similar vein. Within the first two hours we learn partial back stories to many of the major characters. Hour three we learn more about the mysterious past of the shows hero Alex Tully, played by Nathan Fillion.

The show is filmed on a green screen and there are many parts where you can tell that is was filmed on green screen. But there is a story here that is a larger story to be told and that is what drew me in closer. There was just so much going on in this premiere that I cannot even begin to talk about all of it. The main thing is that every person has their reason for being in the race and not everyone is who they seem to be when you first meet them. I am looking forward to Monday night’s regular episode.
