A report from their session at the Paley festival. I don't recall any spoilers, but my brain is mush.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

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!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Not only is Jack Coleman an awesome actor, he's funny! In an adorably self-deprecating way. (The joke about his power of invisibility during the 90's cracked me up.)
Jack Coleman (HRG): My character was the only one that didn’t warrant a multi-layered audition. I had a one page audition for a guest spot.
Tim Kring: It’s a testmant to Jack that the part started out as not the biggest part in the show.
I'm glad they're flexible in terms of character arcs, because I can't imagine the show without Bennet as a major player.

'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"
You know, some actors really come into their own later in life, or they just have more affinity for parent/grandparent roles. Witness Andi Macdowell or Candace Bergen.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hee!!! That panel recap is great and, yes, spoiler-free.
We need to start doing the "My father's research" drinking game. Interesting that, if I read between the lines, Mohinder's character was actually supposed to be Chandra Suresh himself, basically. Television is crazy stuff.

I just read the comic. I think I agree with whoever said that Hana's meant to be mostly an Internet character who won't play a large role in the show itself. I think she's mostly a conduit for extra information. I wonder what we'll learn in this new series.

You DO seem to have a Hana obsession.

Nothing, man. Nothing!
Well, her use of Netspeak.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I've been watching from the beginning online, too, since I was even later than Ash (started with "Run!" after mainlining all the TWOP recaps).
Re: HRG's memory-wipe commands:
He tells the Haitian to "go deep" with Matt, who apparently only loses his abduction and recall of his telepathy before it.
He says "hollow him out" (but not "go deep") with the quarterback, who is gifted with complete amnesia.
(and speaking of the QB, Claire completely rocks for driving him into a wall. You go, girl!!)
(FWIW, "Company Man" completely broke me, shooting Mr. Bennet to the top of my favourites from his previous jockeying for number 2 or 3. It never occurred to me he was asking for an extreme memory wipe on the bridge; I just figured he wanted to lose enough to give him plausible deniability about Claire's disappearance.)
