Our… mixed feelings discussion of the tv series Heroes lasted so long that I decided to break up this podcast into two parts – the next part, where we discuss Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, will be posted in two weeks.

About the Author
Jim Yoho is the owner of In Genre, Wausau Comics, and JAY Entertainment and he maintains the site as well as adding the occasional article or review of his own. He often goes by Merin online, from way back in the BBS days of dial-up modems even.
Having enjoyed writing reviews and postings for other sites he decided to start his own where he combined his creative urges to write and create web comics (such as Episode Fun and Alistair & Arthur) with his long-held desire to bring together and organize talented people for joint projects. The end result is that you get the Wausau Comics site - articles and reviews of genre entertainment at In Genre plus some web comics and links to the works of other Contributors, too! 
Merin on 
Much as I enjoyed bashing the third season (and rightfully so), I did appreciate that we gave the show a fair shake — I intentionally structured my questions to get into the reasons why we liked the show in the first place. I don’t think this would’ve quite rang true if we’d just bashed the show, and it’s important to remember that we kept watching for a reason.
Oh, I agree.
In fact, if you have read any of my Definitive Critiques (for movies, at least), I always lead with the opposite of what my review is going to say -
if it’s a movie I liked, I’ll start with the negatives. And vice-versa.
The problem is that when you have people who really hate something (or, in the reverse situation, people who really like something) anything you say positive proves you aren’t objective (or negative, in the reverse.)
It’s good to try and be fair – but I know it’s lost on many people.
Nice stuff and great insights. I like how you panned the different voices to the left and right channels to better establish the effect of a conversation and differentiate the speakers.
