I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They killed him, but had one of the other characters impersonate him. And then he recently stopped impersonating him, so it seemed bleak.

Of course killing him was a narrative fiasco, so let's not go there.

The rumours I've read make it sound like the show's not long for this world, so it might not mean anything much.

Huh. What with this being the third or fourth time Nathan has been killed FOR REALZ, and the hard-on the show has for Quinto, this feels like such non news.

I love ZQ too, but the hoops they jump through to restart his character periodically so they can keep him around--god, I'm tired. I'd rather see him on a completely different project.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm going on record saying the hoops they've gone through to keep Sylar around are far, FAR worse than the hoops ME went through to keep Spike around.

The demon on the shoulder bit would have been fun two seasons ago, but not at this point. Honestly, the best re-use of Sylar (after season 1) was when he was partnered with Noah, and they couldn't wait to end that one for some reason.

Franken,

this goes without saying. I'm not a Spike fan, but this Sylar stuff is ridiculous. I think he needs to be a guest star now.

Totally, Frank. It's beyond Spikely absurd, and I didn't think I'd ever say that.

Hmm. Greg Grunberg is saying that the Petrelli brothers are safe on the show, but that someone else bites it (12 minutes in). They better understand they can't kill HRG.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Didn't Grunberg blog some nonsense a while back? By which I mean wasn't there an earlier incident where his word was found to be unreliable, either by deliberate misdirection or being ill-informed.

Or maybe the "lay off" and the "saddening death" are actually two separate actors.

So, yeah... [link]

I'm still boggling over how this is shocking news, and how, if true, Adrian Pasdar could been let go that way. What, did they forget?

The shocking part would only be how AP found out. I wasn't thinking we'd see him again. Who is less surprising?
