Oh, dear heavens. I was looking up something about CKR, and I just learned that he was the original choice for Krycek on "The X-Files."
That would have been interesting.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My wife thinks the new super they've found will be the bomb that blows up New York. I think she's right.
I was thinking the same thing. It would explain why the scene with the nuke in a van was removed from the pilot.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Anne, that's interesting. I can't quite pull him up as "guy in suit", in my head. Doesn't compute.
eta: Heroes was, IMO, an exercise in, "yes, and this is news how?"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I just learned that he was the original choice for Krycek on "The X-Files."
You know, I concur. Although he could pull off later slept-in-my-clothes Krycek, I don't know whether I'd buy him as fresh-faced Evil. The whole point of when Krycek was introduced was that he was all puppy dog and "Can I go collect the purple goo? Can I, can I, huh huh huh??"
Which was funny, because you could tell from the start he was a spy, but there are spies and then there are opportunistic murderers, you know? The Krycek they ended up with, it was really shocking when he killed that tram operator. Which was coooool.
(CKR was in one episode of XF, as some minor character in S1. XF was the original Canadian actor recycling bin, though.)

For me, Heroes was an exercise in "you can't spend five minutes on the internet learning about radiation?"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It's comic book radiation, though. It's the same principle as Magneto's magnetism.

Ah, yes. Comic book world, were they have "anti-radiation" pills and measure radiation exposure in curies.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
That's the version where it's easier to freeze a robot by forming a vortex that draws down subzero rarified air from the frickin' stratosphere than to just pick it up and drop it, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So it seems the Horn-Rimmed Glasses Man (AKA Mr. Cheerleader's Dad) is tagging the supers.
Oooh. Duh. Nice catch.
My wife thinks the new super they've found will be the bomb that blows up New York. I think she's right.
I thought they were making it blindingly obvious, what with him calling himself an atomic bomb and all.

The Heroes did drawings of their characters for an online auction to support Greg Grunberg's charity.
I think Drawing of Peter Petrelli by Milo Ventigmilia may be my favorite.
Of course, I'm a little twisted.
Runner-up: Drawing of Mohinder Suresh, with a very vivid depiction of that map of the world with pins in it.
