Okay, I was remembering something we were discussing *last* week. *goes looking for brain*
Out. For. A. Walk. ... Bitch.

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!

I had a company mandated diversity/leadership/harassment session today. I was amused to note that a guy in another department both looks and sounds like Peter Petrelli, a LOT. The hair's sort of in-between that of emo!Peter and DtaBoM!Peter.

Saw a promo for next week's heroes "finale" during Bionic Woman. Notice they're not calling it a season finale, I assume, in the vain hope that this strike will end and more episodes will be shot this season.
What I found annoying about next week's promo was the line that (spoilerfonted for the promo-phobes) two heroes would fall, juxtaposed over pictures of Nathan, Matt, Claire, Hiro, and Elle. First of all, what makes Elle a hero (even if the other ones are arguably heroes though I hate that - other than lampshading the concept - there hasn't been much stepping up and heroing in this show but that's another rant), and secondly, I'd bet folding money that none of those five bite it. If I had to guess, wondertwin and flyboy "fall". Or maybe that's just what I want to see.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

RE Wolfram's whitefont: The show seems to define "hero" as "anyone with a superpower." Which is a dumb way to define it, but whatever.

The promo people define it that way is my guess. And we all know how non-monkey-crack addicted they are.
Trudy, I'm pretty sure that was facetious, but I have no idea - I'd never seen him before (and I'm not even sure which department he's in, though I did recognize his name). Though I was torn with also answering (1) "yeah, he's dating some blond British guy", (2) "yeah, he's dating some Japanese guy" or (3) "yeah he's dating some creepy geek in Spock ears".

True about the promo people, but the show has really failed to show much heroic about any of the "heroes". Every hero runs around the show discovering shit about other characters which we pretty much already knew, or meeting other characters and assuming they're bad when they're really good, or good when they're really bad.
Practically every plot point turns on a lack of communication or a misunderstanding. All that's missing are Jack and Chrissie.

Is it too late to cast Kelsey Grammer or David Hyde Pierce as papa Petrelli?
