Obviously, it's going to break me whoever it is.

Oh I know, me too.. sometimes I think it would be less of a gut kick to lose one of the "heroes" than one of the "normal" characters because they don't have superpowers, no "mission" they are just people, ya know ... actually I'd be good with no more deaths.

Isn't Zack a short timer? That's his name, right -- Claire's friend -- Schrödinger's Gay.

Ohhh I hadn't thought about him..yeah he would be.

Yeah, killing that character off will be a real publicity coup for ABC after the controversy about his retroactive straightening.

Can you imagine? Damn. I think you meant NBC.

Although the stuff about Hiro's reaction to the death makes me think Ando more than others. (Also, I thought that in the commentary for "Distractions" somebody let it out that that was Zack's last episode.)

Lots of spoilery pictures of BSG ep 3.17 "Maelstrom" up at Comics Continuum.

And before I forget. Last night as I was falling asleep I was thinking that we know that Hiro and Peter exist in the future (of course, that could change) so they are mostly okay and then I remembered Hiro's trip to the future - maybe it's Isaac who is killed. I need to rewatch the episode: does he know that Sylar is free?

Speaking of BSG, has anyone listened to the podcast that was uploaded early this week? I haven't had time, but I'm wondering if it's worth spoiling myself...

I haven't. . . because I don't want that much detail. (Plus, I'm all excited about having a Helo-centric episode you know. . .without the spoilers.)
