Right? And the exchange over the pronunciation of "villain." Nathan+Hiro=Adorable.
HRG is horn-rimmed glasses? I know who he is, but I've forgotten how he got the HRG designation.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I loved the bit with the hand gesture! So well timed.

I love Claire a lot a lot A LOT. That's one resilient teenager, and not just in the obvious physical way.
I read an interview with Bryan Fuller (of WONDERFALLS, DEAD LIKE ME, etc.) who is working on HEROES now, and he said Claire has become his personal favorite character to write for.

For the record, I want credit that I called the Hiro-in-the-museum-with-the-dinosaur.

Wait, Fuller is on HEROES? How did I miss that!?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
That was my favourite bit from the episode. I love Claire a lot a lot A LOT. That\'s one resilient teenager, and not just in the obvious physical way.
I liked the scene between Claire & the Haitian more. It really made you feel for Claire, and it showed real empathy from the Haitian.

I don't know. That's part of the reason I watched it. He's a consulting producer, and he also writes for Claire. According to him, the different writers are in charge of specific characters.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
According to him, the different writers are in charge of specific characters.That's a brilliant strategy, I think. After all, they've obviously got their story arc planned out, and this will keep the characters' voices far more consistent than in some other shows we might mention (s2 of New Who, for one).
And yes, that was my first ep. of Heroes. I'm not sorry I didn't watch before, but I'm not sorry I started now.

I finally got around to watching BSG last night (thank you, OnDemand!). Excellent ep, but not as riveting as some of the best ones. Many little moments that I loved--Helo shooting Sharon (poor Helo!), Dee slapping Kara a bit harder than necessary, but not as hard as she could/should have, Gaeta rocking the nukes and FTL (the new EW has a pic of Baltar and Gaeta that reminded me of how much I am looking forward to Gaeta confronting Baltar in a more involved way than he did when Gaius came on board back in December), and, of course, Tyrol pistol-whipping Baltar (way to go, Chief!).
As much as I love the Arms of Apollo, my BSG boyfriends remain Gaelin Tyrol and Felix Gaeta, with Karl Agathon for eye candy (Tahmoh is just too damn pretty!).

Seriously. When she said the bit about being all alone and she teared up, I just wanted to hug her, poor noodle.
