Re: Heroes

Wow. That episode kicked ass. Mr. Bennett and Claire on the bridge got my allergies going.

Re: Dresden

My stupid Tifaux didn't record the episode for some reason, and then I had to manually get it to record tonight's repeat. It wasn't showing any episodes until the marathon on Wednesday. Grr.

Over all, I enjoyed the episode, but again I have to wonder why they're "adapting" the books at all, since despite the fact we had a Bianca, Ancient Mai, Red Court, Black Court and "Third Eye" they bared very little resemblance to the books.

I'm also disappointed we finally see the staff hockey stick in action and Harry's Forzare is a cheesy blue beam with generic cheesy blue beam sound effect.

Also, I had a couple problems with the eye trick because 1) If Harry can use a dead man's eye to see him last few minutes of life, that pretty much takes the mystery out of most murders. 2) While it's a bit of a grey area, I think that spell would fall under the category of necromancy, and thus equal Morgan lopping Harry's head off for breaking the Laws of Magic (well, if he found out.)

Some explanation of how Harry managed to get shot with a couple of crossbows and live would have been nice. I mean, sure, magic, but it kind of lowers the suspense if he can get shot in the back willy nilly.

That said, I still enjoyed the episode a lot as a whole. I loved the bit with Bob crying at the french film and not wanting to stop watching when Harry started gesticulating at him.

Also, Harry got some wit and some snark on. "Big problems are next door. I only do small to medium problems."

Okay. Two dads enter, one dad leaves: Papa Winchester, or Papa Bennet? I am having a tough-as-hell time deciding.

How much past the hour did this ep run? My tape ended just after "you look like my dad." Sounds like I missed a lot.

Why would anyone on that ship want to read a word that man wrote? Makes no sense at all.

Yes! Just what I was thinking.

I have nothing to add to the Heroes discussion at this point. That was just great.

3 minutes, aurelia.

Heroes was amazing. I am totally in love with HGR.

Heroes was totally amazing and one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen. I don't know how long that list is, but I just feel like this episode belongs on it. It made me cry like a girl. (Come on, Kalshane, don't hide behind your allergies.)

Mr. Bennet rocks hardcore.

That was made of awesome. How do you guys even manage to analyze it. Something's happened to me since Buffy went off the air. If I love something now, all I can do is draw hearts all over it.

Vortex, who is Dr. Where?

who is Dr. Where?

Exactly.

Dr. Where is Claude (Eric Roberts called him that in the ep, btw), who is played by the former Dr. Who.

Thanks, DX. Tom Scola's help seemed to be invisible!
