Am I alone in thinking he may have taken that criticism to heart and been overachieving ever since?
Are we complaining?
'Touched'
[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!

Heroes chose to go with non-Irish actors because they didn't think that the actual Irish actors who auditioned sounded Irish enough!
It. hurts. my. face.

Nope. I love that he's out there eagerly oversharing with the entire British viewing public.
Hayden Panattiere with puppies.
Isn't naming your puppy Sylar asking for trouble?

I think the trouble started even earlier than that -- that's the kind of cute that guarantees OMG HOLY TERROR.
Australian Shepherds come in miniature? Uh oh.
This cracked me up (even if I didn't agree with everything). James McNew, bass player of the band Yo La Tengo, on Heroes S2:
"Heroes" went straight into the super-toilet. The second season was a complete waste of time. Stories waddled off into dozens of torturously dull directions, none of which made any sense, or made me want to care why it didn't make sense. You can kill with your mind? Yawn. You can do things after you see them happen on TV? So can most people. Weeks went by without Hiro Nakamura. Jess advanced the plot by taking his shirt off in every scene. Hooray, thanks for adding a smug British jerk who lives forever — just what I was hoping for! Kristen Bell's superpower is her ability to make me mute the TV. Handsome teenage boys can fly (duh!). Stephen Tobolowsky is as intimidating as a shoe. Mohinder getting punched in the face was far and away the high point of the season, I rewound it and watched it three times. At least Ali Larter's character got blowed up (blowed up real good), but everyone knows it won't take. Ugh. I thought the first season of "Heroes" was very good, until it ended with a shameless cop-out. Oh sure, I understand how it could be unrealistic to kill every character at the end of your first (and therefore only) season, but come on, wouldn't that be awesome? I'll go ahead and answer that for you: Yes, yes it would be awesome. Go out on top, with dignity and shock. We would talk about your show in hushed tones forever and ever. You pussies. What happened to you, "Heroes," you used to be cool, but you changed, man.
that is hilarious.
I can't help but think that the impending writers' strike cramped this show's style. I hope S3 will be better or I think I will bail.

Ouch. Not a VM fan, I take it.

This made me laugh like a drain. It's funny 'cause it's true.
