Spike ,'Sleeper'
[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!
if Angela dreamed that Sylar would blow up the world, then why didn't Papa Petrelli just take his powers away?
Speaking of Mama Petrelli dreams ... two of the villains from her original dream this season are dead: Maury and Adam. Huh.
But if they have a lab working on how to give people powers, are you telling me that they didn't have a partial formula for reducing/removing powers? That doesn't make any kind of sense.
I'll have you know I studied Mad Science at Harvard!
Did you study under Wacky Walter from Fringe?
Oh Walter. The dotty and petulant father side is kind of endearing. I like the way the Joshua Jackson character interacts with him (having never seen JJ or 90210 before, he's a pleasant surprise as an actor) but the grotty lab in the basement irritates me, as well as half their procedures. Yes! let's take irradiated people who have to be removed from a building in hazmat suits, then put them on a slab in the basement and examine them without safety glasses! It's annoying, although I get over being annoyed as they zip along with the rest of their improbable story lines. The cow has got to go at some point. For starters, it's bad for a cow to be standing around on concrete all day. Well, I assume that because it's true for horses. And as someone who mucked out a horse stall for many years of her life, and lived not far from a dairy farm, that cow makes more of a mess and requires more care than a few shanks of hay every now and then. They could use that as a reason to move the cow away: it has to go to a dirt-floor over gravel (for drainage) shed and corral. It has to get some exercise!
I'm enjoying the main character quite a bit. The actress has a really interesting face. Anna Torv. [link] I tried to analyze what makes her face watch-worthy, and I think a big part of it is that her faces *moves.* It's rather horrifying to realize that I've gotten so used to botox'd actors, or young actors who work really hard on not creating wrinkles, that a face with actual mobility is fascinating. She furrows her brow for starters. Go furrowed brow! (Sarah Shahi from Life shares the ability to wrinkle her brow.) Also, those creases that run from the nose to around the mouth? whatever they're called? hers are not symmetrical. The one on her left/stage right is a bit higher than the other one. Also, she reminds me of Liv Ullmann, and who doesn't love Liv Ullmann? [link]
The Haitian... I'm not sure I'll ever be able to give him a name besides The Haitian! I'll have to work on that. I'm startled every time I see him. He's turning out to be quite the badass boss.
Lance Reddick does not play the Haitian.
My bad! Thanks for the correction.
He does, however, play a spooky, ominous dude on Lost.
Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander have been fired from Heroes.
Oh, maybe we'll get Parable of a Hero now!
eta: wait, wrong Jeff. But, it would have been funny if I'd gotten the right onw.
Oh dear, that means Loeb will be free to write more crappy comics every month.
On the plus side, we'll probably be losing a lot of the stupid in the storyline.
