What kind of accent is T-Bag supposed to have, exactly?
I liked the deaf woman's introduction, but I hope she doesn't get sucked into Peter's plotline. He tends to make things suck.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe they get a little sumthing sumthing going on and he'll finally lose the shirt.

Robert Knepper is playing Samuel as an Old World mutt, something about "of the earth" and being as vague as possible. Not quite Irish, not quite Scottish, not quite English.
There are several links buried somewhere over at TWoP where he comments on this. Unfortunately it's not in the actor or character threads.

Heh, I was going to say inconsistent. I swear I'd rather him doing Brad Pitt's incomprehensible accent from SNATCH than have to listen to the accent change countries/counties between sentences.

I'm just repeating the spin I've read in various interviews. I was a little taken aback when he was recounting the advice he got from Christopher Walken about talking "movie talk" and just winging it rather than doing research and having dialect coaches. That way leads to madness, methinks. Especially if you've only heard Alabama accents from other actors on TV and movies.
But I also don't care, because RK does strange things to me.

I'm setting my tv timers for tomorrow night and reading the description for Heroes. Is the show opting for the split cast/alternating episodes like Farscape did with the two Crichtons?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Alternating episodes is basically a way of doing things cheaply. Well, usually.

I can see that, and I can see the actors being all over the extra breathing room --except for Quinto, who seems set on smothering me in his three incarnations on the show.
I'm just wondering if this is a good opportunity to watch Lie To Me during the Hiro episodes.

Oh, God, I hate Hiro. Why? Why does he exist?
Quinto is probably the biggest thing that show has going for it in terms of retaining an audience. He's Spock!

Quinto as Sylar is that top ten song that I used to love but now hate because every radio station overplayed him.
