FRYING THREAD!
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.
'Beneath You'
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!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hmmm... I've wondered where Peter got the prophetic
dreams
from that first got him thinkingobsessing about flying. Do you think that it could be that he was in contact with someone who had prophecy dream powers, like, say, Simone's dying father?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Lovely thread. I especially love the Bowie lyric as the title.

Maybe he ran into Buffy now that she's left Sunnydale.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Regarding Petrelli Sr.'s death, all we know is that it was called a heart attack for a while, until Mother Petrelli said that it was really suicide. No mention of the method used, although I get the impression it was an overdose of something.(or poison)

I think that\'s exactly right, Theo.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think it would be bizarre if they didn't bring Simone's father into it, given that he lived in that building, and that building is definitely Significant (even if it's ultimately for budget reasons). And he did seem like a dreamer. Seems like a kind of...underwhelming power, unless I'm misunderstanding.
eta: but with both of them dead, it would be hard to do, outside of flashback, but that is now an established convention of the show.

Not just lived in it -- He owned it, didn\'t he?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, Heroes thread! Thanks, Theo, for suggesting it!

Not all powers are necessarily very useful, like being able to glow in the dark, or turn into a purple guinea pig. We're just spending more time with the interesting powers, presumably.
