Book ,'Objects In Space'
[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 Chuck can do kung fu, Heroes can stage some kind of fight scene.
If Heroes fight choreography is as convincing as Chuck's I don't mind them keeping it behind a door.
I just assumed they ran out of money.
this is what it felt like to me. Like a B movie.

ha. mean.
In the interest of full disclosure- The longest time span I've spent watching Chuck was the last seven minutes last night.
I was struck by how Chuck's fight was ripped frame for frame from the Matrix. Which made me laugh way before the "I know Kung Fu" line.
I assumed the fight was behind the door so we couldn't keep track of Sylar.
Remember the big final fight against Sylar in Season 1, where everyone took an individual turn against him like a football practice dummy while all the others stood around with their mouths open? Even if they hadn't run out of money before the big fight, that show's stunt coordinators aren't capable of putting on a good one.

It was a cop out, but I give them credit for cleverly hiding a weakness. Not much credit, but admitting they have a problem is the first step ...

Exactly. I think, when they put the "Heroes" team together, they never brought in anyone who could put together a fight scene and special effects well, and it always ends up ... flat. Either one on one fights, or quick cuts where we don't fully see what's happening. (Take Peter and Hiro kicking ass in "Five Years Gone." Hot scene, but upon examination, we see very little of the actual fight.)
If they want the show to improve (and I think they do) they need to fix this.
It doubly annoyed because I liked the finale. But I found its strengths all in small things, which is good, but the big things need to hold up, too.
Man, Fake Nathan Sylar is fucked-up. And very Dollhouse-y, I agree. I almost want to see the story. I wasn't as disappointed as le nubian (and I didn't mind the fight scene that we couldn't see because I assumed, like Trudy, that it was so we couldn't keep track of Sylar...even though they didn't really play that card anyway), but I could be comfortable walking away since they sort of Ended things so they could Begin them again. I guess I'll determine in the fall whether I really care enough.
I'll be back if only to see how much screentime Quinto will get vs Pasdar. If the conversion mostly took, I'd be pretty happy.
Given they couldn't even get rid of Larter (Iceman fans in the hizzouse!!1!), I'm meta-interested in how they deal with these two actors essentially competing for the same screentime.

Did I call it or did I call it?

Methinks ZQ is distracted by movie projects, and can't be around that much.
Also, on a tangential note, am I the only one who's ecstatic they didn't leap to Claire's magic blood to save Nathan? Seriously. We can pretend it never happened. I'll be fine with that. I'm not one of those people who feel a TV show should be forever bound by their earlier bad decisions.
