Oh, and another thing. When Nathan talked to Tracey about meeting Niki in Vegas, wasn't he neglecting a WHOLE bunch of subsequent meetings, including when they were all there and saved New York? Niki, DJ and Micah were there, weren't they?

I can't keep track of any of these meetings anymore, and who's alive or dead. There really are too many damn heroes.

I know you're thrilled that everyone** gets to be super now.

I'm ignoring your spicy footnotes, because now I can think of Mohinder as Syndrome. "And when everyone is super, no one will be."

What's always bothered me about Peter is that he has this annoying ability to gain everyone's powers and there doesn't seem to be any trade-off. So theoretically, he could pick up Molly's power, and flit from hero to hero until he has every freaking power out there. At least Sylar has to earn his powers, through head-slicing and whatnot. Peter doesn't earn shit and he'd be a god if he wasn't such a ginormous moron. Which is his weakness, I guess. Frankly, I just want him to ascend already.

Has there ever been a fictional character that was all-powerful that wasn't incredibly boring?

Super-- um... Jes-- um... Captain Mar-- um, Hmm.

Have to get back to you on that.

Allanis Morrisette as God in DOGMA?

I also wonder if Mohinder is just getting a set of wings, not a general skin removal.

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

Allanis Morrisette as God in DOGMA?

Except she SPOKE when she said BEEP.

We go through all the drama and we're supposed to ignore that? She can't chirp or sneeze or breathe or ANYTHING ELSE?

I bet Alanis thought if it herself. I bet she said, "hey! it'll be ironic!" and they were too busy chuckling to stop her.

Small price to pay for getting to see Ben Affleck's head explode.

Compassionately intolerant

I bet Alanis thought if it herself.

I'm remembering this as the case. Must go back and relisten to the Dogma commentaries when I have 5 hours to spare.

I took it as God being able to speak without exploding people's heads if She damn well wants, but preferring to give Metatron something to do with the present setup.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought the second half was more fun than the first half. Or possibly it took an hour for the Kool-Aid to take effect.

Trust my rage

You know, I didn't hate Heroes.

For one thing, most of the events of S2 seem to have faded from my memory and I didn't see much reference to them in the show either. And I had to laugh - Mohinder was still stupid and Sylar telling Claire the eating brains is gross made me laugh out loud. I don't know - maybe that's not much payoff for 80+ minutes of TV, but I'm not ready to cancel my Season Pass.
