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!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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?

Anybody who knew about this and didn't tell me is fired:

When you hear the name Adrian Pasdar, the word musical doesn't exactly leap to mind. Which is why EW.com had to get the man who plays Heroes' dark and mysterious Nathan Petrelli on the phone this week to talk about Atlanta, the Civil War musical he has cowritten (with Marcus Hummon, a Grammy-winning songwriter who has penned songs for the Dixie Chicks) and codirected (with Randall Arney). It opened Wednesday at Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse.

I saw a billboard for this on Saturday. It made me think of "Irreconcilable Differences."
