So, really a 13 episode season could be a really good idea. (Perhaps they should have just conceived of this as 1 thirteen week arc and 1 9 week arc - maybe they could have kept it focussed.)
'Bushwhacked'
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.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
sweet! Thanks Kalshane!
Did you see the "Ask questions for PB" thread?
sumi, I think I agree with that: if they're going to continue breaking up the seasons, make them into mini-seasons.
Is Heroes going on Hiatus after March 5th? (After episode 18)
The only question I can think of to ask Paul Blackthorne is, "why are there no photos of you shirtless on the entire Internet?" And I'm not going to ask that.
The "On the Set with Jim Butcher" video was so cute. He's in heaven, right there. And Terrence Mann seems like a really nice guy.
I want Bob to sing. Just once. Crank out Greensleeves or something. It would be a shame to cast an actor who can sing like Mann and not use his voice.
That was a very cute video.

I've been thinking the same thing, since I kind of feel the way smonster does about the lack of focus. Though, it sounds like they'll be dealing with Baltar next, so maybe that'll be a coherent arc.
ETA: Adorkable video.

I'll pay you.

It's kind of funny seeing 'Baltar' and 'coherent' in the same sentence, and yet I think you're right.
Suppose he stood next to someone by mistake--or, say, all of Sylar's other powers, ones he didn't use in their fight. Would be interesting in stressful situations.
I figure that, at least with Sylar and his rolodex of powers, Sylar actually has to manifest them in front of Peter for Peter to be able to use them. It seems that that's the catalyst for Peter-the use of the power and not merely the nearness of another mutant. Or, wait--now I'm confused, did Claire use her power in front of Peter or not? I can't recall. But it would make it interesting if Peter had access to all of the same powers Sylar had.
Which really is becoming quite compelling: the way Sylar and Peter are being manipulated to be pitted against each other, as in theory they are the only ones powerful to stop each other. And Peter is really what Sylar wanted all along: the person with the power to have all the powers, without the trouble of slicing someone's head open.
That said, I really dig Sylar. He's a brilliant serial killer. (God, I watch too much Criminal Minds and Dexter.) Someone on a site for Heroes reviews expressed the thought that he was too boring, but I completely disagree; I think the degree to which he can assimilate and be convincing is fantastic, his purpose and drive is compelling, and the way he changes from random nice guy to killer is really well done.
Regarding BSG, I wish it was still 13 episodes. It was so much tighter that way. That being said, the goodness of this episode makes up for last week's astonishingly lacking episode. It showcased that they are perfectly capable of doing a heavy-focus episode on one character without it deteriorating into crap.
I seriously think Adama and Roslin are already in a relationship and are just being excessively discreet about it. And I don't understand Cally and Tyrol, not at all, but I can handwave it and the other marriages on the show as "well, the fleet needs babies, so better them trying to be happy-ish than baby farms."
Regarding Dresden Files, man I'm growing to love this show. I really like the guy playing Dresden; he brings a lot of charm to the character. I feel like I'm watching something from maybe ten years ago, though, which is probably due to the gorgeous Chicago architecture and the similar format to, say, The Sentinel, and the locales/stylings/cinematography of Early Edition and Due South. I love the set of his apartment--it's extremely well done.
Also, the girlfriend of hellion was in Queer as Folk in the last two seasons as the girl Hunter is interested in. It was jarring to see her with long hair; I think it was a wig.
Hiro moved time back one second the first time we saw him, IIRC
Replying from memory, so I could be wrong. But didn't Hiro move time forward , and by more than one second? He was impatient for the day to be over.
