I am the fly who dreams of the spider

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.

I actually kind of like the Parkman/Sylar duo. In fact, I wish Sylar would take over Parkman and we'll get Dark Parkman for a while. He has the potential to really be dark.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Dark Parkman would be fantastic. I'd really love to see Matt used as a cautionary tale. Sometimes I think they might be going there, but they never seem to have the cojones to actually do it.

As much as I love the ZQMF, Sylar is overused. I did quite enjoy his snarktasticness last week, though.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I love Sylar. He's given me the tag that I've had for the last ever. I loved the Mo and Sylar Cross Country Hoyay Caravan of Death. I hung in there when he was driving around ole Mexico with los gemelos aburridos. I kept going when the show asked me to believe that Sylar and Elle were a viable couple when Mo was right there for the taking post 3M. I even hung in there through Sylar/Delko because that was creepy fun if nonsensical. But this Sylathan and the Sylar in Matt's head is killing me. As much as I enjoy Sylar getting his bitch on and making Matt mildly interesting again, he really, really needs to die now. Or at least to go far, far, far away for a very long time.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think I want full-out little Sylars and Matts appearing on Dark Parkman's shoulders and arguing with him what he should do next.

I am perverse and I love cliches, what can I say?
