We're taking bets that you want to be a Hero...

Open Letter to the writers of Heroes,

Dear Heroes Writers,

You have me hooked. I cannot let Monday go by without watching your wonderful television goodness. You have almost made me switch my allegiances with TiVoing 24, but I have not switched yet and you are relegated to the VCR.

Thank you for making an intriguing story with plausible mysteries and exciting backgrounds. I know that people with special powers isn't the most plausible thing, but if Buddhist's can float in Tibet anything is possible. I appreciate that you continue to give answers at a rapid pace while asking just as many questions.

I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please not try to be too confusing? I love LOST and think that it has made a wonderful comeback, but it tried too hard in Season 2. Keep some of the stuff simple. I understand that Peter Petrelli is our Superman. Just don't over do it with him. We don't need Clark Kent disguises. We will watch your show for years if you continue to keep it simple. Make the villians complicated and allow the heroes to deal with their struggles with daily life. Thank you for making this TV season along with Friday Night Lights as enjoyable as ever.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Reese Witherspoon looked fabolous last night at the Oscars. She has definitely rebounded nicely from Ryan's stupidity. I think she is going to have some excellent movies coming out in the next few years.

We're taking bets that C is for Cookie...

Hello WTBT readers. Sorry question time is running a little bit late. I hope that everyone is doing wonderful. Only 2 1/2 weeks until Spring Break for us here. I cannot wait. Enjoy these questions. They are very easy and very fun. Invite others to join as always.

A. What is your favorite type of cookie?

B. Do you prefer your cookies warm and soft or crisp and crunchy?

C. Cookie Monster is a great children's monster. Who is your favorite monster/non-human from your childhood shows/games/cartoons?

Answers:

A. My favorite type of cookie has been and always will be oatmeal raisin. There is something so wonderful about an oatmeal raisin cookie.

B. I will always go for warm and soft. WNEC made the best chocolate chip cookies I had ever had, but they were even better warm and soft. The only cookies that I like crunchy are Vienna Fingers and Oreos and they have a wonderful sugary inside.

C. Grover will always be my favorite Monster. I grew up with a heavy dose of Sesame Street so it would be hard for there to be any others.

Answers:

A. I really wanted an elephant when I was little. I loved the fact that they blew a horn from their snout. I think that is why I took up trumpet as a kid too.

We're taking bets that sometimes you get scared...

Hello WTBT readers. Sorry question time is running a little bit late. I hope that everyone is staying warm and if you are from upstate NY you are not too snowed in. Enjoy today's questions and invite others to answer. As always the more the merrier!!!

A. What movie monster/villain scares you the most?

B. What is the one real life thing that scares you the most?

C. Have you ever scared someone on purpose that you almost peeped yourself laughing at their reaction?

Answers:

A. I would have to say that the Wicked Witch of the West. She creeps me out on a level that I don't even understand. So mean and scary.

B. Going backwards really fast. Basically that means that if I am on a roller coaster it can only go forward. Backward just is so unnatural and you cannot see where you are going. Plus it makes my tummy feel funny. :)

C. Absolutely!!! Usually it was my sister when we were kids as I was the mean older brother. Though I think my favorite was when I scared one of my RAs at my first job because he thought no one was in the building and surprise I was there. Hysterical. I actually think he peed a little. I know that's gross, but really funny.

We're taking bets that it is time to get LOST...

Finally the break is over. LOST is back on TV tonight with a recap episode and then the real thing at 10 pm ET. I for one cannot wait. There are so many questions that they promise to answer this season and for 16 weeks I will be glued to my TV or at the very least make sure it is TiVo'd. There are five questions that I have that must be answered in order for me to stay a fan:

1. How was Locke paralyzed? - They have teased us with this many times, but we have never found out and it is starting to piss me off. I have heard this is the time that we will find out and I hope that it delivers.

2. What the freak is wrong with Desmond? - Desmond was always a little bit weird. Even when we first met him running with Jack he was bizarre, but now he has crossed the line. Is he psychic or did he travel forward in time? What is going on our little English buddy?

3. When will we find out the fate of Walt & Michael? I know that you cannot really use the word fate when it comes to LOST, but they went sailing away and Styx wasn't with them. So where have they been and will they come back to the island? Wouldn't it be fun to find them with a posse of rescuers?

4. Why does the monster kill some and not others? Really the monster never should have killed Eko. He was a BA and BAs just don't die like that. Ask Chuck Norris. We really need the monster to be better explained because I think that it is controlled by something or someone.

5. How does Libby seem tied to everyone? Am I the only one who wonders about her? She seems like she is very pivotal to the entire story. Desmond and Hurley have definite connections, but it seems like there is more. Is she Desmond's ex-girlfriend's sister? That is what I think or she is from Dharma. Yep remember them? There is something fishy with her and I want to know what.

BONUS: What is up with the foot? - Giant, 4 toed foot. What the hell is that all about? I understand that LOST is about mysteries. Look at the title, but who spills that little nugget and then forgets about it? I love LOST but I hope you can give me a little satsifaction with these answers because I am ready for more questions if I have those answers.

WTBT Volume 9 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* you can't believe that Apple and the Beatles have finally come up with a solution for the use of the name Apple.

* Paul Pierce being sent home is just another bad thing for the Celtics.
* it's great Red Auerbach isn't alive to see these Celtics.

* lack of oxygen will be used as a defense in that case.
* ex-Rev. Haggard is convinced he is completely heterosexual now, except when it comes to being around really hot guys.
* much like smoking if you only do it once in a while you are still a gay or at the very least bi-sexual.
* intensive counseling doesn't make how you are born go away.
* I am probably alienating some people from the blue states.
* there is nothing truly exciting going on in sports right now.
