initial thoughts on new Fall season shows

My verdict after about 2 to 3 weeks of the new Fall Season

1) Heroes - top of my list. awesome story arc. great concept. brilliant execution. the perfect show this season.
2) House - the new 'West Wing' is here, except that it stars a sarcastic, damaged, brilliant doctor. why conform with reality when you can be like House?
3) Lost - still a compelling watch, if only to gather the rest of the puzzle pieces. character stories still have oomph.
4) Studio 60 - good, but displays highest gap (down) vs. expectations. but when you tout a new show to be the best thing man has created since sliced bread... you are sure to disappoint for a while.
5) Brothers & Sisters - character compelling from the get-go. will follow if only for Calista Flockhart. and "Mr.Sloane" :D

No verdict out yet:
- Six Degrees
- The Class

i love subways

I'm not calling attention to a newly-found love for healthy sandwiches (though its not such a bad idea).



Subways just feel so alive and dynamic. Every person has a story. Each conversation has character. Each laugh is intended for a particular joke. Individuality is lost, yet there is no collective to speak off - people who ride a subway are no 'more connected' than people who live in different cities. But for the short 10 minute ride, ones eyes are visually assaulted by a rich density of individuals... individual stories, individual characters, individual smiles, individual solitude. And when its right before your eyes, you can't help but feel how much the world doesnt revolve around you and yet feel that the only world that matters, actually does.

The world comes alive in a subway.
