heroes blows. --teeny

That's terribly unfair. Since then they've added a truckstop waitress.

Oh, uh - nevermind, then.

yes.
this is more like the way frat boys view women.

for a more accurate view of the way comic book dudes view women watch the venture bros.

xpost
a friend of mine is pushing venture bros on me. hm.

but i can't just sit there re-watching "the wire" on my on demand now, can i?

Ah, ou sont les Neige Crashes de yesteryear etc...

And looks like Jason Schwartzman! Actually, JS's cousin was going to my school for a while and looked exactly like Sylar.

Plus bonus points for use of "Avalon"

I wuv Hiro and Ando

Katie Holmes circa Dawson's was up on that wall too.

No kidding. The Wikipedia synopsis are often better than the actual shows.

She was in the movie!

And I am officially laying FIVE AMERICAN DOLLAR on DL being dead in ep11 (which sucks because I loved him).

- 1st time: GOD the show sucks, but Hiro is pretty great, so I'll stick around
- 2nd time: hey, the politician dude, he's not half-bad, either
- 3rd time: god bless Hiro & Ando
- 4th time: OMG WATCH OUT FOR SCALP BLEEDING

Whuzzat?

I'm pretty sure he was it by the bullet as there is no other reason for him to fall back on the fridge the way he does. Or maybe Bennett yelled "Surprise!" when coming in and that did it.

(OMG, I am EXPLAINING Star Trek references, what is WRONG with me?)

ailsa, you ought to know that I'm proud of you.

Semi-hilarious fun fact: State Gaming Commission dude that had the talk with Hiro about partners was played by Bill Fagerbakke, voice of Spongebob Squarepants' best friend Patrick. Yet another thing this show has in common with LOST: Spongebob voice actors showing up for menacing-ish guest spots.

I was wondering how long it would be until Peter realized he had mooched some powers from Sylar. I imagine that's who he got the sonic boom voice from, as well as the telekinesis. I will miss Dr Invisiwho, but I'm glad Peter Petrelli has managed to become an interesting, fun-to-watch character, when, back in the olden days, he seemed so completely awful.

haha xpost

Sonic boom voice was from Eden, right? which he probably got when he went to see Mohinder early on.

Oh man, pissed-off superpower cocktail! Good call.

Also how did Glasses Dad know DeVeaux Building?

And did Claude have his tracking dealies ripped out, or were his made by a much more primitive device (all those years ago)? His scar thingies looked WAY grodier than the others.

Yeah I didn't mind Simone dying - death of THE girl is always the best hero motivator, not to mention a potential Peter/Isaac face-off!

But then Peter turned up and I thought, oh noes he's gonna slice Isaac's head open with Sylar's powers! Awesome!

No such luck. :(

-- nklshs (nklsh...), February 20th, 2007.

that was my thought, too... but then later in the episode they were talking about how the tracking device was a radioisotope that was in their bloodstreams, which I don't really think you could rip out.

also:

- jesus christ, Sylar! talk about yr impulse control problems! he's just lucky that Mohinder somehow makes even worse decisions than him.
- Peter is a total fucking bad-ass! at first I was worried that his multi-power outburst on the rooftop was a one-time thing that he would struggle to replicate, but apparently not!
- semi-related: I guess this means the haitian doesn't actually have power suppression? either that, or he inexplicably opted to wear thermal goggles rather than oh hmm I dunno TURNING OFF THEIR INVISIBILITY PERHAPS
- interrogation of Bennett = perfect way to reveal some more details and advance the plot. good call, writers.

Whose powers has the Haitian futzed with? Psychic Cop & Sylar, right? Anyone else?

Also, hi to WiFi 24 Girl!

Confirmed: Eden (I kind of wish she hadn't died so soon). Probably: Ted and Instant Messenger Babe.

Inevitable upcoming Heroes scenes I am totally hyped for:

*Mohinder figuring out who "Zane" really is
*Hiro and Ando reunion
*Peter Petrelli meets Radioactive Ted Sprague

I want to find out Mr. "Stop-that-you-no-more-shoes!" Bennett's name.

ALSO: Sylar has a lot more going on than just the TK (which he stole using his "I know brains" power). Does PP have those other powers as well, or does someone have to whip it out for PP to absorb it?

I don't remember, but, when Hiro went back to save Charlie*, did Sylar still get her sweet sweet brains, or did she die of that brain thing she had? Also he now has super hearing (also maybe super hip-hop appreciation) and that molecular destabilization thing (but obv Peter does NOT have these powers).**

*haha this actress was on Ugly Betty and her name was Charlie and she was from a small town on that show too, I wonder if it was intentional

**how long until the HEROES TRADING CARD VIDEO GAME?

The Charlie actress was also on House (sick, gets liver transplant from girlfriend she was going to leave).

I might be remembering wrong but I think Sylar still got her - Hiro didn't change anything in her past except make her happy for a little while (aww).

Zach was also in an ep of House.

And shame on the rest of yall for not mentioning STAN LEE.

Esp. when shot from "ground" level, I ♥ the flying effects on the show! Like the Matrix: Reloaded effects, but without the ridiculous portentousness.

Greg Beeman's blog is also a good read.

Finally Peter becomes a good character. Whiny Peter is dead, long live angry Peter! I am however pretty sad that we probably won't see invisible dude anymore, he was definitely one of the most enjoyable heroes if not the most.

Also, I couldn't help but think that the Others are Heroes (which was a theory I had a long time back) thanks to that one Nathan Petrelli sentence.

Invisible dude has a HISTORY of disappearing from shows, so I was not surprised.

Haha me too.

My wife was ultra psychic and said "that was my best spanner" just before Dale said "that was my best wrench"!

Charlie was way adorable.

New names please! I am getting L O S T crossover!

Why didn't PP used Hiro powa to save Simone?

Anyway, great episode.

He'll pass on ClairePower by the power of LOVE, obviously.

Inevitable upcoming Heroes scenes I am totally hyped for:

Also,
Peter running into Niki/Jessica and absorbing SPLIT PERSONALITY EVIL PETER.

More echoplex psychic cop / Peter headaches.
