Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

he'd turn all blue and start singing 1980s rock songs from Journey with explosions and glass shattering

Heaven's just a funky Ando.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Maybe he's the normal one. We could call him Zeppo. Or Xando.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Or Xando.

I would totally watch the amazing adventures of Eyepatch!Ando and Future!Hiro.

I hope Ando doesn't turn out to have any powers. He rocks more than sufficiently without them.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

A friend of mine maintains that one characteristic of well-written superhero stories is that non-powered characters matter and have 'agency' in the plot.

By and large, this show passes that test with flying colors, so far.

Anyone who has an ep (or season) to catch up with - Sci-Fi is showing a Heroes marathon today. But, I'm not so sure about order... they're already at the Peter/Claire/Sylar showdown at the high school and that seems pretty far along for 9a E. Anyway... yay, show!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The order is completely weird, and they're skipping episode 8.

Our wings are not tired.

From the schedule on my tv it looks like it starts at 9EDT with Homecoming (#9) and goes in order through Landslide (#22), then shows the first one instead of the last.

What is even happening?

What the heck is the 'mystery sock'? I was reading the write-ups of the MarsInvestigations.net staff visit to the set of Veronica Mars. One of the writers referenced the 'mystery sock' and said readers who didn't catch the reference haven't been watching Heroes.

I haven't missed an episode of Heroes, yet.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

"Mystery sock" is I think the TWOP-ism for how Hiro pronounces "Mr. Isaac."
