Heroes Season Three

Starts on September 22. It looks great, too. I'm looking forward to another full season, with no interruptions from a strike. Hopefully with the full amount of episodes they'll be able to return to season one awesomeness.

In Which I Make Fun of SyFy Portal For Telling Me About Things I'm Actually Interested In

This article is just silly.

"Zachary Quinto, who plays a young Spock in J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Trek" movie, based his characterization as much on the film's script as on Leonard Nimoy's previous performance of the iconic character."

Whoa... hold on. You're blowing my mind, SyFy Portal. SERIOUSLY? He like, watched the old show and old movies to figure out what his character would be like? And then he based HIS performance off the only other actor to ever officially play the character?! I'm completely shocked. I never knew an actor would do something so obvious to prepare for a role like that.

Why is this news? I can see wanting to know about it if Quinto was like "eff Nimoy" and decided to do what he wanted, but hearing "Oh, yeah, so he's basing it off the original performance of the character" is not something I need to know about.

I do, however, enjoy knowing that the first time Quinto put the ears on was a moment he shared with his dog.

Also, look at the desktop thing:

I got it off the official website, in the downloads section. There's one with Kirk, Uhura, and I guess whoever's the bad guy. I don't know enough about the plot to have an idea of who he is (and I don't care to, no spoilers for me). But I picked Spock, because I'm talking about him, and also, Spock is the coolest.

In other news, the new Caprica TV show might be starting in the fall. They say they haven't decided if they're airing the telemovie as a telemovie or as the start of the full season. AWESOME. This is interesting because more or less it means we'll have a totally new show about Caprica to get excited about before the end of BSG even happens. Like weaning yourself off heroin with cocaine. Here's the article talking about that. It is also talking about the other BSG telemovie they're working on, saying that it's probably going to be about totally new characters, and apparently this is cause for speculation about another spinoff besides Caprica. ...I'll withhold judgment for now, but let's not get carried away, okay kids?

Last but not least, what the heck is this. Steven Spielberg called up Steven Moffat and was like "write this movie for me"? I don't know why I think this is weird, but I do. I do know Spielberg is a Who fan, which probably means he drooled all over "Blink" just like everyone else in the universe and then decided that he needed Moffat to come make something with him because was obviously teh awsome!!!1!. I don't know where I'm going with this. The gist of it is, Moffat said no because he wanted to do Doctor Who instead of some sequels to Spielberg's Tintin thing (I guess he already wrote the first one). Which I know nothing about other than it's another comic book adaptation. The article is funny though, because it has this huge headline saying Moffat turned down Spielberg, and he was turning down ALLLLL this money to not do it, and then it quotes Moffat as saying, "I hope you don't make what happened sound too dramatic." Ha. Well, he tried.

If you go to Zahadum, you will... oh, wait.

Bruce Boxleitner, also known as Captain/President John Sheridan from Babylon 5, will be hanging out on Heroes next season.

Cool.

I don't get it.

I thought everyone was still on strike...? But now we've got this, which makes it look like they're going ahead with making the next season. I don't know how I feel about it. "Villains." Hmm. And what the H is Sylar doing with Mama Petrelli?

end of volume two, finally

1. If you notice that this post and the last post and probably the next few posts are a little lackluster and unenthusiastic, that's because I'm finding that Doctor Who is a tough act to follow. I finally gave in to the harassment of my entire family and started to watch it, and it turns out that it's nothing like what I thought it was and I love it a lot. The only reason this post is here at all is because the site I was watching Doctor Who on stopped working, and I had nothing else to do.
2. Aaaand I hate you, WGA strike. This episode of Heroes is the last of the season because of you. That means the whole season just sucked because they had to cut stuff out and rush it through to the new, alternate ending. Although if this means the writers decided to sacrifice having Caitlin in the show, that's one for the "pro" list.
3. Maya is wearing an apron that says "World's Greatest Dad." Are the writers trying to insinuate that Maya is really a man?
4. Yeah, I know it's not her apron. Thank you.
5. Sylar, if you kill Mohinder, I will not mind.
6. Maya's power is so lame.
7. Um... so Adam's master plan is to wipe the Earth clean, because it isn't worth fixing. I'm pretty sure that is really anticlimactic.
8. We are not gonna need to kill Peter. Everybody calm down.
9. Anticlimactic Peter/Hiro fight. Unsurprising.
10. I feel bad for Elle.
11. Micah, go away.
12. Haha! I like Adam and Peter's walk down that hallway, just pushing people out of the way. Badass.
13. I thought Mr. Bennett killed Mohinder's dad, not Sylar. But I don't remember.
14. "Okay, we don't talk about that... ever again." Ha. Yeah, good idea Parkman.
15. Wait, Hiro and Parkman have never met before...? Okay, I guess.
16. Thank you, West, for being intelligent and telling Claire not to be stupid and tell everyone about her powers.
17. Oh no, they're breaking up. West didn't even fight for her though. I think she was expecting him to.
18. Aww, Mr. Bennett got to go back home.
19. Maya's about to find out that Sylar killed her brother.
20. HAHAHA, Sylar just rolled his eyes when Maya came and accused him of killing her brother. And then he just shot her! Okay that was my favorite death scene.
21. Sylar: "You and I have trust issues, doctor."
22. Why does the Company even want Mr. Bennett back? I don't get it.
23. I want Peter's long hair back.
24. PETER. That is not nice. Stop doing that.
25. Why don't Parkman and Peter just talk to each other? You know, with words? Use your words.
26. GIVE ME A BREAK. If Adam says ONE word about Hiro stealing Mulan from him I will be more than pissed off. It's been four hundred years dude. Time to move on.
27. Okay he didn't. That's good.
28. Nathan: "Peter. You're not responsible for something that MIGHT have happened." Thank you Nathan. Very true.
29. How did Peter know how to destroy the virus? Holding it in his hand and zapping it? Well whatever. It doesn't matter. I guess he showed a moment of creativity.
30. Wait, I thought Maya was dead. Oh right. That was the healing blood.
31. Why didn't it occur to anybody to inject Elle with the healing blood? You know, to fix her arm?
32. I still don't understand the point of this stuff with Monica being kidnapped by the gangsters. Who are those people? Why do we care about them? Oh right, we don't.
33. I thought Nikki didn't have her super strength anymore. She took down that gangster guy pretty easily though.
34. Nikki's gonna die in this fire.
35. Oh my gosh... that is completely terrifying. Hiro put Adam in a coffin and buried him. Wow. Okay.
36. This all seems sort of wrapped up. Where's the cliffhanger? I know there's one coming.
37. Oh. Is that it? Nathan got shot? Seriously? Come on. Haven't we already seen that certain people's blood can bring people back to life?
38. And Sylar's powers are back. Goody. Next season we can look forward to more brain eating.
39. I'm sorry, but that was kind of a let down. I know, it's the strike. It's screwing everything up. Well, hopefully next season will be better.

why is saving the world always your responsibility?

1. Sark is really funny. "Peter... why are you yelling. What is wrong with you. Stop that."
2. Victoria Pratt... sounds like that's the other lady in the picture. Oh, and there. Now Sark's going to point at her in the picture. Okay... now... and... THERE WE GO. I was right. Thanks Sark.
3. I like Sark's hair. It's all messed up in the back. It's cute. Aww.
4. Sorry.
5. Lyle must be really confused about all of this. Has anybody explained to him what the deal is with their moving and name changing and stuff?
6. "How was I supposed to know that Bennett teamed up with West the flying boy?" Ha Veronica. You're still psychotic but sometimes you are funny.
7. Oh, so it was Mohinder that brought Noah Bennett back to life.
8. Mohinder is kind of an idiot. I do agree that Mr. Bennett is really paranoid, but Mohinder is just blindly believing the Company and I think that's a big mistake.
9. OH YEAH... that one Monica girl. I remember her.
10. How does the virus get transferred? Nikki said it isn't contaigious so I don't get it.
11. "It's my backpack! It's gone!" Why is that relevant?
12. Maya is stupid. Can't she see how disturbing and creepy Sylar is?
13. Why is Sylar trying to help Maya? Just to get rid of Alejandro?
14. Sark, Peter doesn't need a gun to get the job done. Seriously.
15. "You are like a hamster making a nest." OH HIRO.
16. Hiro, I think you should listen to Ando. No more travelling back in time.
17. I'm not sure who is the good guy here. Sark (okay, fine, Adam) or Hiro's dad and the rest of the Company.
18. I think it's kind of cool to see the "young founders" of the Company.
19. Wait, why can't Peter get back to the future? When was that established? Did I miss something?
20. Maya, that's a real newspaper article you idiot. "I don't believe it!" Give me a break.
21. Isn't what Sylar said kind of true, about his mom dying? It was an accident right? I can barely remember that episode. It doesn't matter because Maya is still a horrible judge of character.
22. Why would Adam want to release the virus? Just because he's mean? Maybe he wants to start a new world order that is just made of people with powers or something. I hope not though. I want Adam to be a good guy.
23. "She was about to take your head off. There's no coming back from that one." I was right.
24. Whoa, so Alejandro speaks English now? Well, not anymore now that he's dead, but whatever.
25. Is Maya going to become a villain now? That would make her a lot more interesting.
26. I love Claire and West. I don't care what anybody else says.
27. WHY WOULD SOMEONE STEAL MICAH'S BACKPACK. This seems like a totally pointless storyline.
28. Am I supposed to like Mohinder? Because I go back and forth on that. I think he has genuine intentions but he's still not very good at the non-science part of his job.
29. That's a good hiding place, Micah. Behind the lamp post.
30. So Monica got kidnapped by a bunch of gangsters. And she's never seen a movie that'll show her a decent way to get out of that. Come on. She could have even watched an episode of Scrubs to learn that. You know, the one where Turk and Todd take on the paramedic ninjas.
31. Well Claire's certainly toughened up.
32. OHHHHH now they know that Sylar's alive.
33. Okay, how does Maya not see that breaking into Mohinder's house where his sort of daughter is sleeping is NOT the best way to go about getting help. Come on. It's called "make an appointment." How does Sylar have Mohinder's cell phone number anyway?
34. So Peter and Hiro are going to duke it out. I think that if it really came to that, Peter would win. But we'll see.
35. It seems like everybody wants to save the world but nobody approves of each other's methods. I just want to know who's the good guy and who's the bad guy (besides Sylar). I think things will start getting much more interesting now that Sylar is coming back into play.

yeah

So I got all caught up on Chuck, Heroes, and Journeyman. I didn't write anything about them though, because I was in a lazy mood and decided not to. Here's what I remember though.

Chuck.
1. I didn't like Lou so whatever. I'm glad it didn't work out with her and Chuck.
2. Bryce is alive after all? I guess I should have seen that coming.
3. I love Casey.

Heroes.
1. Of course Mr. Bennett wasn't going to stay dead. But when he came back, that was gross. I did not like watching his blown out eye fill in to his socket again. Yuck. I'm glad he and West are okay with each other now though.
2. Oh West. You're a little bit silly, but I still like you.
3. Mohinder is a great big jerkface.
4. Sark is still cute. I don't know if he's good or bad though. He wants to take down the Company, but he's also, like, killing a bunch of people. I'm impressed he managed to stay alive for 400 years though. I want to know what would happen if you cut his head off... would he just grow a new one? Just something to consider.
5. So Claire, Sark, and Peter are all going to live forever? Is that the idea I'm getting from the Sark thing? That's interesting. That's at least three characters that they can carry on for a long time on the show.
6. Going back to the HRG dying and coming back thing. Who did that for him? We had a big argument about this at dinner the other night. My dad thinks it's Bob, because he had Claire's blood. It could be him, but it could also be Adam, because he and Mr. Bennett both want to bring down the Company, so they're on the same side. So I think it could be either of them.
7. Oh and I'm glad they cleared up the whole "how did Nathan survive that, how did he not know Peter lived" thing that I was obsessing over. I am satisfied with their explanation.

Journeyman.
1. LIVIA IS FROM 1948!!!! That's awesome! I just think this show is so cool. It'll probably get cancelled but whatever. I love time travel.

HEROES! IT'S YOU! I missed you! It's been so long since you were yourself!

I think we're back on track.
1. Why did the white beard guy want to capture Hiro? That doesn't make any sense. He's just some dude, as far as he knows.
2. I still want to know about that painting of Hiro facing off with a T-Rex. When is that going to happen?
3. So does that mean Mohinder is going to shoot Mr. Bennett?
4. I HATE NIKKI. What a worthless, pointless character. I would rather keep the unbelievably annoying Irish girl around than keep Nikki.
5. Um, I don't think the CDC would attack and beat people like that and go "DO YOU HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS? ARE YOU SICK?" Unless the disease makes the people turn into zombies or something. Which is the entire plot of World War Z, this book I'm reading.
6. "G morning"? West, would it really take that much more effort to type three more letters? No.
7. Claire sleeps with makeup on?
8. West, seriously, you are going to get into so much trouble messing around with Mr. Bennett. Claire is trying to protect you by keeping you away from her family, but if you don't listen... look, I think you're adorable, and really really sweet, but you have extremely poor judgment.
9. Oooh, injecting Nikki with the virus. Does that mean we're sacrificing her? Oh wait, I misheard. Crap.
10. Nathan is asking the intelligent questions. Good job Nathan.
11. What's wrong with Hiro? Does he have a concussion or something? Oh hey, Mulan, hitting him in the face again is not going to help. Seriously, it's not.
12. HAHAHAHA! CAITLIN GOT DEPORTED!
13. So... the Shanti virus doesn't turn people into zombies...? That's disappointing.
14. So if they don't turn into zombies then why the excessive use of force when they captured Peter and Caitlin? I don't get it.
15. Molly's had an easy job the last few episodes. Just lie there and be in a coma.
16. Nikki, if you said OH OH OH DL! WHAT! YOU'RE DEAD! Oh no. Ohhhh no.
17. Oh, it was just Nightmare Man. I thought maybe they were going to steal the whole Baltar/Six thing from BSG. But they didn't. Okay.
18. What I was originally saying before DL interrupted me was if Nikki is so happy to be "cured" or whatever so that she can go back to her son, then why the heck is she still there working for the stupid Company?
19. "Peter is alive, Nathan. Your brother is alive." WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!
20. Okay so this Adam person controls the weather? Is that what the newspaper headline had to do with it?
21. Okay Mama Petrelli, are you going to show us what your power is now? PRETTY PLEASE?
22. Oh, now Nathan's dead. He just can't win. So far he is 0 for 2 being alive in the future.
23. Is she making him remember? Well, he does remember, and she did something to make that happen, so was that her power in action...? I DON'T GET IT.
24. "Popsicles. Awesome."
25. Yeah, West. Claire seduced you, even though she tried repeatedly to get you to leave her alone, and it was all an elaborate trap set by the Horn Rimmed Glasses guy. That makes sense.
26. Why doesn't Hiro stop time and then go destory the guns?
27. Whoa. So let's see if Sark can come back from blowing up into a million little pieces.
28. Nikki's just punching holes in the wall. That's stupid.
29. Molly's been hanging out in a pretty nice apartment, looks like.
30. I'm really pissed off, because I have watched the same idiotic commercial every break. Which is five times. Thankfully, there are no more after this.
31. So... Hiro really is Takezo Kensei?
32. At least this time Hiro's girlfriend didn't get her brain cut out and eaten.
33. Hey, Mohinder has the thing on his nose now, like in the painting.
34. HA! Nikki's infected!
35. That would be really scary to turn around and see that thing on the desk.
36. Oh yeah, Mr. Bennett's first name is Noah.
37. Seriously, how is Claire going to be a cure? AND, why would we want to sacrifice Claire for stupid NIKKI?! Well, we wouldn't. We would not, is the thing. Get rid of Nikki.
38. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SARK! IN THE FUTURE! HE'S IN THE FUTURE AND HE'S ALIVE!!!!!
39. Umm... okay, this show just got, like, seven thousand times better. How much you want to bet that somehow Sark and Claire are related? Somehow related to the birth mom. And HOW DID HE GET THERE? He's not immortal... is he? He would have still aged. Did Hiro bring him back or something? AHH.

picking up the pace a little bit...

1. I'm waiting for the moment when I stop hating Caitlin. I was watching this in the basement of the SUB and there was another guy who came down and watched it too - we don't really talk, but we both laughed at her when she said whatever her line was about killing "the bitch" that is Veronica Mars. Hey, in my opinion, Veronica did us a huge favor. There are way too many characters on this show right now, and Veronica is just doing a little tidying up. I hope you're next, Caitlin. I'm pretty sure you're no match for Veronica's blue electricity Emperor Palpatine-esque power.
2. I hate the cheerleaders. Even the nice ones. They're pointless. I don't really understand why Claire likes cheerleading because she isn't like any of those girls, as far as I've noticed.
3. I'm kind of confused how Monica got to New York. She was like "so are you going to tell me what this is all about?" or something to Mohinder... why didn't she ask him that stuff before she left her house with him? I mean he could have been some kind of murderer or whatever. And look what happened, she did almost die. Mohinder was going to inject her with whatever that virus thing was and it was going to either kill her or take away her powers. I'm surprised Monica was stupid enough to just get up and go with him, no questions asked.
4. "It's for the greater good." This dude has been hanging out with Gellert Grindelwald! (Well, I know a lot of people have said "for the greater good" before J.K. Rowling put it in her books but that is what I will always think of when anybody ever says it. Anyway.)
5. Okay, who are these Ukraine people? Claire's dad went to visit them to see the rest of the paintings from Isaac Mendes (which, by the way, how many more paintings can the guy have). And he's part of the Company apparently... so how widespread is the Company? It's in the Ukraine and America... where else? Probably several places. (It was Ukraine, right?)
6. Wow, that LG fridge looks totally awesome.
7. OH WEST. You can't just go up to the cheerleader girl and say "I'm hot and I have a power. Put me on the squad." Those two things do not automatically qualify you as a good cheerleader. Also, I'm not a fan of this public humiliation idea, West. Not cool. I hope it's not like "let's dump food on her!" Because that would be so stupid.
8. OH A MENTION OF CLAUDE! Come back Claude. Please. Go get Peter and bring him to his senses.
9. Mr. Bennett/HRG = still a great big douche. I'm back to totally hating him like I did last season. I realize he's just trying to protect his family, but still. I just don't like him.
10. Did Maya, Alejandro and Sylar really think it'd be that easy to get across the border...? And I'm kind of surprised that they came to a section of the border fence that just so happened to have one piece missing from it.
11. I'm really confused as to why the cheerleaders just hang out in their uniforms all the time. Is that a realistic interpretation of cheerleaders?
12. Okay Claire and West... that was admittedly pretty creative way to publicly humiliate Debbie, or whatever her name was, but also kinda crappy and mean. That said, she deserves it for being retarded enough to be drinking on school property.
13. Um... I don't care about Sark, Hiro, and Mulan anymore. Pretty much I think Hiro should come back to the present and maybe bring Sark too, so I can continue to look at his cute face. Mulan can stay in the past though.
14. Okay, so did the Company really change? Or is it a ploy to keep Mohinder there?
15. Ummm... Mulan figured all that out from holding her hand up to Hiro's face? That makes no sense. But poor Sark.
16. "Delicious power." What a great way to have Sylar describe how he sees their powers. Especially what with how he eats their brains to get their powers. Poor Alejandro though, I wish he could speak English. How does his twin sister know English and he doesn't?
17. Not sure how I feel about Sark punching Hiro but I'm not all that fussed about stupid Mulan getting captured. I wonder how all of that is going to play out. I thought it was pretty cut and dry (and therefore boring) so I'm glad they surprised me with this "shocking" turn of events. Although, it does seem sort of stupid of Sark to just give up and join the bad guys, just because he saw Hiro kissing his girlfriend - a girlfriend that he wouldn't even have if it wasn't for Hiro, BY THE WAY. Sark, you're kind of an idiot.
18. I'm really amused by Peter randomly discovering his powers. I hope he turns invisible, and then can't figure out how to not be invisible.
19. So it looks like it's a virus they're going to have to stop this time, rather than a nuclear bomb. Hmm. The alternate futures they keep coming up with are pretty interesting though.
20. I didn't really like this episode either but at least it seems to be getting slightly more interesting.

yawn.

1. So... Molly's in a coma?
2. Parkman is an idiot - why would he make Molly look for his dad, a.k.a. Nightmare Man, if he wasn't planning on going and looking for him? Or did he chicken out after Molly freaked out.
3. They better explain why Monica didn't want to identify the guy that broke into her fast food place.
4. Oh, vomit. When did Milo Ventimiglia start sucking at acting? Because this is painful. At least his Irish girlfriend is trying to tell him to open the damn box. Why doesn't she just open it?
5. Peter is such a douche for being okay with abandoning anybody that might be looking for him. Why wouldn't he care about any family he might have?
6. Nathan still looks like crap. It's kind of endearing though. Like, "fine, I'll shave off my beard, but I'm only doing it once and if it comes back everybody can just deal."
7. "I'm not a cargo jet, Parkman..." Hahaha. Well, I thought it was funny.
8. Monica: "I didn't want some crack head looking for revenge, so I said I didn't recognize him." Um, wouldn't he be looking for revenge anyway, given that you like, double roundhouse kicked him in the face?
9. So far my opinion of this episode is extremely low, but I'm really fond of Nathan, even if he seems sort of out of character for what I'm used to.
10. Wow, Micah can play the piano. I didn't know that. Maybe the actor has been taking lessons.
11. Oh my gosh!!! It's the scary wrong other future where Peter blew up!! Is that what Molly keeps dreaming about? I don't know. Clearly Nightmare Man can do more than just read minds.
12. Aww, Sark. Cuuuute. I don't care what he's doing, I just like looking at him.
13. Where are Claire and West.
14. Whoa, Nikki is clearly not happy.
15. FINALLY Peter's opening the box.
16. I think Veronica Mars is not a good guy. I hope she roasts that Irish guy though, with her electric powers, or whatever it is she can do. Oh, well, there we go.
17. I am so, so confused about what's going on with Nathan and Parkman. I think Nightmare Man is just messing with the stuff he found in their heads... but still. Oh - wait, I get it, he's making them fight each other. Wow, that is crazy. Still, the stuff leading up to it was kind of confusing for me. AND I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE DEAL WITH NATHAN'S GROSS FACE IS. UGHHHH.
18. Ando going to that guy to help him read the notes from Hiro was really funny.
19. How do the people Mohinder work for find all the heroes as soon as they start realizing their powers? The answer to this question used to be Molly, but she was gone and currently is in a coma. So what's the explanation?
20. Veronica Mars sounds like she's arguing with her dad. Oh, she was arguing with her dad.
21. Well, that episode was pretty... blah. Veronica Mars' introduction was good, overall, and I'm 100% sure that her dad will be someone we have seen before. Other than that, and the fight between Nathan and Parkman, I was pretty bored with this episode... and not just because there was no Claire or West.

oh golly

1. Mr. Bennett, you meeting Claire's new BF is not going to really work out. Mainly because you kidnapped him when he was like eight. These things always come back to getcha. Anyway - I'm not really liking ol' Horn Rimmed Glasses these days. I wasn't ever all that fond of him, but I didn't mind him towards the end of last season. But now I'm back to being annoyed by him.
2. I still don't know what to make of Mohinder and Parkman playing "my two daddies" to Molly. Other than that I think it's sort of funny. I mean, they fight like a married couple.
3. Your kids don't like your beard either, Nathan. Please take heed. Poor guy though - why can't he see his kids, exactly? I guess that all happened in the four months between the seasons. I'm kind of confused though, because what would he have done that would make him not allowed to see his kids? I know he's not the best dad, but as far as I'm aware he's not the worst, either. So why the apparent restraining order?
3.5. Oh - that's right, he had a drinking problem. I forgot about that... that would do it though. He seems more or less fine, though, when he shows up to talk to people. And didn't he get elected? What happened with that? Did he resign or something?
4. Jersey guy, you should have just run him over. Really.
5. Wow. I do not like the kid that woke up Micah. "Nana, I need sixty five dollars." I do like Uhura though - a lot. "That's funny, so do I." And she watches HGTV, apparently. I can relate. The older girl is okay so far.
6. Obviously, Mama Petrelli is lying. I guess she's trying to make a sacrifice for the greater good of all the other heroes. I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT HER POWER IS. It is making me crazy. Obviously she has one. And what was Mr. Sulu's power?! They never said!!!!
7. Ugh, Claire, please don't do the cheerleader thing again.
8. Aww West. Getting dumped already. But dude, calm down. "Is it because we flew together? I weirded you out, didn't I?" Yeah, who wouldn't be weirded out by a completely adorable guy literally picking you up flying you to the beach during school? I mean, if the flying thing wasn't totally enough already, ditching school to go to the beach should do it. Well, it would for me at least. Seriously. West, when you find out that Claire's dad is the one who kidnapped you, hit me up. I'll appreciate you.
9. "Are you reading my mind right now?" "No. Yes. Sorry."
10. It is not looking good for Maya and Alejandro. At least Alejandro is slightly suspicious.
11. Hmm... Sylar introduced himself as Gabriel Grey. I guess he reverts to that because he no longer has any powers... he even seems like he's acting human. I'm not sure that's going to last. But, I think he has the virus, and that's why his powers don't work. So his incapability is only temporary, and his villainous ways will be back before you know it.
12. I don't like these weird Bennett dinners, where they show their faces up close like that. It's annoying. And I kind of hate Lyle.
13. I wonder if the Petrelli kids (the legitimate ones) will have any powers. I would be surprised if that came up in this season, but maybe in future ones.
14. "This guy's name is Bob." I don't know why that was so funny to me.
15. WHOA, PARKMAN'S DAD! That's crazy but somehow, not really surprising! Everybody's dad or mom is somehow involved. I was expecting Claude to be in that picture, though - maybe he was lower down in the operation, and not one of the original important leader figures. When is he coming back, anyway? I know he is.
16. The Claire/West scenes in this episode were so much better and less corny than the ones in the last episode. "I know you can heal, Claire, but I never want to see you hurt." I really, really love them together. I don't care who knows it.
17. I still don't really get what Micah's power is... is it just that he can manipulate machinery?
18. What's the Burger Girl's name? I think it's Monica. And what's her power, that she can carve tomatoes? Or what? I like her though, and I think she and Claire should be friends.
19. Okay, I don't know why I didn't see Parkman's dad being the Nightmare Man thing coming. Dun dun duuuuun.
20. Oh, Peter, I remember that kid. What is he up to, anyway?
21. WHAT is up wih that gross reflection of Nathan? Ooky.
22. Does anybody else see the irony in the random Jersey guy telling Sylar about how they have murderers in the car with them? Yes? Okay, good.
23. "Oh, golly, they seem so..." I actually kind of like Sylar right now. I know he's faking it, but it's kind of funny.
24. So Monica's power is that she can see things and imitate them exactly? That's pretty cool.
25. Oh what happened to Molly! Ahhh! Cliffhanger! I'm sure she'll be fine though.

The one thing I really don't like about watching the shows online is that they don't show the previews. I know I could probably find it if I hunted around for it enough, but I think it'd be nice if they put them at the end of the episodes like they do on real TV. Oh well.

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothing on West

Heroes...
1. Peter, I'm really getting sick of you. "I lost my memory, I'm not an idiot." Wrong. If you weren't an idiot you would have left Ireland a long time ago. Please, just get out of there. I'm so done with that storyline and it's only the third episode of the season. (Hey, that was the guy from Enterprise.)
2. So, Alejandro looked all around before breaking into that car, but still failed to see the cop standing, like, right across the street? Good going.
3. Micah looks older... Is DL still alive? No? No. Okay, DL is dead. That sucks, because I liked him.
4. I LOVE West. Seriously - best part of the season so far. Claire: "It was a pedicure." West: "Well, you're not very good at it." But so - what he was doing outside her house was "trying to lend her a book." Lending her a book by standing outside her house in the bushes, looking in her window? Come on West. That's not a great excuse. Although he did really have the book with him so maybe that really was what he was doing. Still.
5. I don't know why I love the little... um... "partnership" Mohinder and Parkman have going on. I don't mean it like that obviously, but I just think it's sort of funny. I loved how Parkman snuck up on him in the kitchen with the gun and Mohinder was all "oh for God's sake." Good stuff. I even don't completely hate the little girl - last season she annoyed me. She's less irritating now, even if she does draw creepy pictures.
6. How did Ando manage to sneak a sword to work? And why didn't anybody in all those centuries between 16-whatever and now (four centuries, give or take a few decades) look at the end of that sword and see "Ando, open" and then proceed to open it? That seems pretty unlikely to me. But, okay.
7. Okay, I really don't understand Sark's reaction to his discovery of his healing power. "You cursed me! You're a devil!" What? How is being able to heal from any wound a curse? And how did he not notice it before? He's a grown man. He NEVER cut himself or stubbed his toe or got stung by a bee or something and healed instantly? Maybe he was just oblivious.
8. "Lightning! Sparks! Lightning!" Peter, you are so completely brain dead.
9. WEST! His whole "lizard girl" thing was fantastic. Claire has NO sense of humor. (Well, I understand her feelings, and the whole safety issue, but still.) AND THEN---! She goes outside to cry, and he goes out there too and he's all, "I take it you're annoyed." And she's like "What do you want from me?" And he says, "I just want you to admit that you're different!" "Okay, fine. I'm a freak. All right? I am such a freak in fact that I have to tiptoe around this school pretending to be some brainless barbie doll so no one notices how different I am! Because if they find out, I'll get carted off to some human zoo to be poked and prodded for the rest of my life! So yeah, West. I'm different. And you can tell the world if you want to because I am tired of pretending to be someone I'm not." And he goes "Claire, shut up." And he picks her up and they go flying off into the sky to some corny music and it is so, so wonderful.
10. Why is Peter so worried about the whole "stealing tickets" thing they're doing, or whatever it is (I'm not sure, because I wasn't really paying attention). I mean - superpowers? Remember? Yawn.
11. I'm bored with Mulan, too. Hiro, you barely know her. You have a crush on her. That is all. You will be fine.
12. Is the lady Nikki's leaving Micah with someone famous? I swear I've seen her before. At first I thought it was Uhura from Star Trek but I looked that up on IMDB and I didn't see it on there.
13. I am so, so ready to know what the deal is with Maya's creepy, creepy power.
14. Come back to the light side, Darth Peter. I can't believe he got that stupid family crest tattoo. Good thing he healed and it went away because that would be ridiculous. And then he makes out with the annoying Irish girl. Peter, open the box. You were not a bad person before. Just do it, okay? Do it and get your butt back to New York away from annoying... I don't even know her name. The Irish girl, and her annoying family of criminals.
15. Claire and West are SO, SO CUTE. I totally saw that coming with Claire's dad being the one that kidnapped West when he was younger, though. That'll make family dinners a little awkward.
16. I don't think the deal with Nikki and Werner from Sneakers (no one knows that reference) will turn out to be something good. I think that's fairly obvious.
17. I am totally disturbed by the Sylar being alive thing. That girl is stupid, first of all, for thinking she could make Sylar love her and not kill her. Obviously he was going to eat her brain the first chance he got. Second, who was she working for that wanted him alive? Probably has something to do with the guy in the little girl's dreams. It seems like something is awry with Sylar's ability to glean powers from brain sandwiches - he ate that girl's brain and nothing happened. Sucks for you, Sylar, but rocks for everyone else.
18. So does anybody think Claire's dad is really going to get it this season? Not everything from Isaac's paintings comes true, but a lot of it does. And who is that making out with Claire in the back of that picture? (Probably West.) (What if West kills her dad for kidnapping him or whatever? Oh no West don't be like that!)

all in one post this time

I discovered a way to watch my shows on a real TV, when they actually air, as opposed to the next day. In the basement of the SUB, there is a big screen TV. And nobody watches anything on it, at least on a Monday night. And there's a couple of really nice couches. So it's pretty perfect, because nobody knows about it, or remembers it at least, and not a lot of people are walking by, usually. It is right by the bowling alley, though, so if some people do happen to wander down there and decide to bowl, it can get a little noisy. But no big deal. Just turn it up. Yep.

I got to watch three shows tonight! Cool huh. Yeah. Three hours... but it's okay, because I did actually study for my Latin quiz during the commercials. And it's fine if you don't believe me that this strategy actually worked, but it was just memorizing a chart I have to write down on a piece of paper tomorrow. And I probably studied more than I would have, because I didn't have anything else to do during the commercials. So, really this is a good development, that I managed to commandeer a TV for this purpose. And I can go to bed sooner, because I already finished studying, and that makes everyone happier.

First, Chuck. SERIOUSLY YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS SHOW. IT IS BEYOND... swell! Okay, I'll just say it - awesome. Chuck is awesome. It's unrealistic and corny and just hilarious. It's a spoof spy show. And you need to watch it, so it doesn't get cancelled. (Please. You have no idea how paranoid I am about that happening. TOO MANY GOOD SHOWS GET CANCELLED BEFORE THEIR TIME!)
1. Chuck has government secrets in his head, and in this episode he has to get tested by a doctor (which happens at the beginning). They start showing him random images, because certain images are related to top secret things and he's supposed to say those if they're related and say when it's "just a turtle" or whatever. One of the first things he says when he gets going on the slides having to do with secrets is: "Oceanic Flight 815 was shot down by..." and then he goes on - he talks really fast. If you are as TV nerdy as me, or maybe not even that much because tons of people probably recognize that, you realize that HELLO THAT IS A REFERENCE TO LOST! HOLY CRAP! "SHOT DOWN BY"?! I THOUGHT DESMOND DID IT WITH THE MAGNETIC PULSE THING!!!! And okay, I'm not entirely sure it was "shot" instead of "brought," but as my sister pointed out on the phone when I called home immediately after this (well, at the next commercial break), those sort of mean the same thing. And granted, this is a spoof show, all tongue in cheek, so maybe it's just a joke. BUT STILL. And this is even on NBC, and Lost is on ABC, so who even knows what that means... well, it either means the influence of Lost is even greater than anybody thought and it might take over the world, or the people at NBC are just messing with us. Either way though... still really cool reference.
2. I really love John Casey. He is played by Adam Baldwin, who played Jayne on Firefly. He's so funny... he's a lot like Jayne in this show, actually, only more intelligent. "I don't kid about quiche."
3. Sarah, the other agent (Casey is the NSA agent, Sarah is CIA) is working at Wienerworld as a cover. She seems to be the only person who works there, which makes no sense. But whatever. She and Casey don't get along and they have a huge random fight there, which also made no sense, but it's not really supposed to, is it? (No.)
4. Chuck has to fly a helicopter at the end of the episode and I think that was probably the funniest moment of the two episodes we've seen so far. Sarah's trying to tell him it's just like a video game, and Chuck gets all situated finally and he's above a bunch of water and he's like, "Is this one of those games where the helicopter can turn into a boat?" I loved it. Chuck is just so lovable and nerdy.
5. One of my favorite things about this show is how the references to real chain stores are so ridiculously obvious. Chuck works at "Buy More," in the "Nerd Herd." And he drives a "Nerd Herd" car to go and help people with computer problems. "Buy More" is right next to "Large Mart," which looks exactly like Sam's inside (which I obviously got a kick out of, especially the five or six speeding forklifts Chuck runs into when he's there).
6. Please just watch it. It's wonderful.

Heroes!
1. So the Irish guy did say iPods. ...WHAT? That's all they could think of? I really wanted Peter to be like, "what's an iPod?" I mean, he has amnesia, why would he know what an iPod is?
2. It seems that these Irish dudes are differently abled. Um - a half naked guy chained in a warehouse who doesn't remember who he is took all the iPods. That makes sense. Did he stuff them in his pants? Or did you check there already? Or are you too busy beating him up to realize that he really doesn't know what an iPod is? And I don't like their accents. (Jessica, yes.) If those are actual Irish people, and that's really their voice, then whatever, I'll take it back. But if they're faking it then they really just need to stop. And go away. That Caitlin chick especially. That was terrible. If that girl is Peter's new love interest I am going to be incredibly annoyed.
3. Any time Claire hurts herself deliberately is gross. Sticking her hand in a boiling pot? Gross. More on this later, obviously.
4. So the F shaped symbol thing that everybody kept seeing last season means "great ability." Thanks Ando! Why didn't anybody think to ask the random Muggle last season? Seriously that whole time he knew what it meant? And finally someone asked him and he's like "oh, yeah, I know what that means, it means 'great ability.'" UGH. Okay, whatever. It's a comic book show. It's not supposed to be realistic.
5. Sark and Hiro are just wonderful. I love that story line!!!!!!!! "You look like a fish when you talk." Cool Sark! Thanks! Poor Hiro though, because he's totally crushing on Mulan.
6. I LOVE WEST. I love him. The first time he was there this episode, when Claire was obsessing over the regenerative lizards in Biology, and he was just sitting there, looking at stuff, I was like AHHH. WEST I LOVE YOU. I LOVE. YOU. He's just adorable. And he hasn't really done anything yet, except be a creeper around Claire's house...
7. Okay, I don't understand the Spanish people. They're twins, and the girl kills people somehow and the guy heals them, at least when they're affected by her weird power. I don't really understand what her thing is though. If they're separated, and she gets the least bit freaked out, she kills everyone around her? I don't get it.
8. The Haitian!! I'm glad he's back. He's cool. Mr. Bennett's partner in crime. Or saving the world, whichever.
9. Mulan, seriously, you are stupid. What are you doing? Did you really think you could fight like ten samurai guys by yourself? You better be thankful Hiro is around to save your ass. And Hiro was completely awesome in that scene, with getting the swords and the bows from those guys... so cool to see it the way the other people do as opposed to Hiro's perspective.
10. Seriously I'm so done with these Irish people. He saves the sister from getting raped or whatever, and then the brother comes in all pissy and like "look what you did, now they're mad at me. I have to get them more iPods" or something. What is your problem? I thought Irish people were supposed to care about their families more than anything else. And since these Irish people seem pretty stereotypical, I feel like that should be included. And what is with that box? Where the heck was that "on" Peter? When they found him, all he was wearing was pants. Was that thing just sticking out of his back pocket or what? So lame. And the Irish guy is like "you'll help me, or I will throw this box in the fire and you will never know who you are or anything else about you!" Nerny nerny nerny! Okay Peter, listen up: freeze time, take the box, and LEAVE. THERE YOU GO YOUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED AND WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE ANNOYING IRISH PEOPLE ANYMORE! Then you can just fly back to New York, show up to your brother and mom, and say "I'm not dead." Well, presuming you remember who they are at some point.
11. Claire's car got stolen! HA HA! Did West give you a ride then? Did he fly you up into the atmosphere and talk about how he hears everything and that he was sorry for leaving you when he went to visit his blown up home planet? No? Well, it's only a matter of time! But seriously, West is just so adorable. And he and Claire are totally sucking face in all the previews so we know that happens eventually. Yay.
12. Okay, ew. Is EVERYBODY almost related on this show. Mr. Sulu and Mrs. Petrelli? GROSS. And who is after Mama Petrelli! SCARY! But good that Nathan showed up to save her, kind of.
13. Sark is so great when Mulan comes up and gives him the sword... and then he's all, "alright, I'm in." And then he goes outside and promptly gets shot. OH NO. But wait, um - what? He's healing? THAT'S SO COOL! HE'S LIKE CLAIRE'S BIG BROTHER ALMOST! Well! Neat!
14. Claire, that is just disgusting. Please don't EVER cut your pinky toe off again. GROSS. And okay, West? At least when Superman stalks Lois, he doesn't let her see him. You could use some lessons from him on that, I think. Fortunately for you, Claire's so dumb that she's probably just thinking "OH NO HE SAW ME CUT OFF MY TOE AND THEN SAW IT GROW BACK!" and not "holy crap how did he find out where I live? What was he doing out there?!" And she chases him outside, and the yappy dog comes too, who admittedly is kind of cute when he's jumping up and down on the driveway freaking out, and Claire just picks up that book and looks around, on the ground, while the dog is looking UP and barking... CLAIRE, come ON, your real dad can fly! THIS SHOULD OCCUR TO YOU! Whatever. Just, I know that they will be madly in love soon. And I'm pretty sure he's going to fly her up and kiss her up there. Just like Superman! And I will be so very happy.
15. Sylar in the preview: rescued by a lady who clearly doesn't recognize DISTURBED when it walks in front of her munching on brains.

Journeyman.
1. This show is so cool! It's a lot like the Time Traveler's Wife, I think more so than Quantum Leap. Although still elements of both obviously. Anyway, a lot of people seem to find that annoying, but I don't. I LOVE it.
2. I really want to know what the back story is with the romance stuff concerning Dan and his brother. Katie, Dan's wife, was with the brother, whose name I forgot, at some point. There was a little reference to it this time, but not enough to satisfy me.
3. I love how everything is connected, and all the times Dan runs into himself or other people he knows in the past. He doesn't let them see him, usually... but I thought it was great that one of the cops chasing him when he paid for a cab with "counterfeit" money (one of the the new twentys) was his brother. And when he was hiding from himself in his apartment, that was funny too.
4. The girl in the past that he's supposed to help, when she confronts her dad that she's never met before, I got so sad and angry that there are men like that in the world. All he does is say, more or less, that "your mom claimed I'm the father, I gave her some money and she was never supposed to tell you about me. Here's some more money to go away." How can someone even fathom doing something like that? He fathered that girl. She has lived her whole life without him, and then when she finally finds him, she just wants to know if there's a possibility for a relationship there, and he just blows her off. So easy for men to do that, because they aren't the one who gets pregnant. I absolutely loathe that lack of a sense of responsibility for their actions. Treating a child like they're just an "inconvenience." They are a person, and how can anybody forget that? I know this was fictional, but it happens in real life, and that disgusts me.

one other thing

So everyone knows what Peter can do, right? He absorbs everybody's power, which more or less makes him the guy with the coolest power, because he can do everything. And everybody, or at least everybody who thinks Peter is dead, knows that he was around Claire a lot. And in case you forgot, Claire can regenerate after she gets hurt and stuff. I mean, she got a branch stuck in her head, died, they took her to the morgue, cut her open for an autopsy... and she survived. She was lying on a table in the MORGUE. She was all sliced open and gross looking, but she lived. She was able to heal after they took the branch out of her head. So Peter has that power. Right? Following? Ok, so, fast forward to the episode last season where Mohinder brought a "dead" Peter to the other Petrellis. He had a shard of glass stuck in his head and looked completely dead. But we, in the audience, were all going "just take the glass shard out of his head! Come on! He'll be fine!" Remember that? And then Claire was like "oh, a glass shard, let's take that out" and she did, and then Peter woke up? And he was fine? Remember? Well apparently no one else remembers that. Because if they remembered that they would know that Peter could not possibly be dead. He can't die! Unless, I guess, he blew up into a bizillion little pieces, but we also know that didn't happen, because in the future, the messed up one from last season where the bomb did go off and Sylar was president, Peter had blown up, and he had lived. Okay... so where are the people on the show getting "Peter is dead, waaah" from. HE ISN'T DEAD! I mean, even without knowing that Milo Ventimiglia is still on the show I could have told you that!

I don't know why I'm so fixated on this. It is probably just a plot point, and nothing else. Kind of like "well, Spiderman got bitten by a radioactive spider, and that's how he got his powers" but really, how did the spider become radioactive? And what retard scientist let a radioactive spider run amok in a lab where high school students are going to be in the near future? Or like how the Fantastic Four got their powers from being in a solar flare, or something. Why wouldn't that have just... you know... killed 'em? I mean shouldn't it have just killed them? From radiation poisoning? I think maybe yes, it should have. At least that's more likely than all of them becoming superheroes. Anyway, it probably doesn't matter why they all think Peter's dead, just that they do think that. It just means that everybody is a lot dumber than I previously thought.

tv entertainment on the internet!!!!

After having some serious beef with NBC.com for repeatedly freezing about three minutes into the episode, I finally got to watch the premiere of Heroes online. And I think this season is going to be better than the first one. There are so many places it can go. I love this show because it's basically a comic book - so anything I find unrealistic, or any "wow, high school is not like that" situations for Claire or "wow, someone would totally have noticed Mohinder shoving that guy into the wall in real life" moments are excused for that reason. And just like in real comic books, no villain is ever really destroyed, and no character is ever really dead. It's filmed the way a comic book is written and drawn, and it is so awesome for that.

(Spoilers if you keep going.)

My first shock was seeing Nathan lookin' all grody with a beard and wandering around like a homeless guy. My second shock was "wait, isn't he supposed to be dead?" Because I totally thought he was dead. I thought that was what the whole "I will fly you, Peter, up to the sky to blow up instead of you blowing up the city of New York." I thought it was a sacrifice made for the greater good. "I open at the close," and all that. Well, apparently not. Nathan lived to beard another day. I mean die. Die another day. Just like James Bond. Only... with more emotional issues and less chicks in bathing suits. A lot less. I'm sort of confused about the whole "Peter's dead" thing that everyone and their mom believes (get it). If Peter really is alive, which of course he is (duh. what a stupid idea), then wouldn't Nathan, you know, know? I mean, wasn't he like, holding him when he blew up...? I'm just saying. I guess maybe he could have like, thrown him up into the air, or something, and then Nathan flew away from the explosion, and Peter just disappeared, but um, that isn't clear. (Also, what I didn't really get from last season was, why couldn't Peter have just flown himself up into space to blow up...?) Anyway, of course Peter's not dead. Duh. My guess is that he's chained up somewhere in a warehouse in like, Ireland, or something. And he has amnesia! HAHAHAHA - oh... okay. That's fine. As long as he's shirtless!

Hiro's in the past and he meets the samurai guy, who is... Sark? SARK FROM ALIAS?? OH MY GOSH I LOVE SARK FROM ALIAS!!!!! SARK WITH HIS CUTE PUPPY DOG FACE AND ACCENT AND MURDEROUS PLOTS!!!! AWWWW!!!!!!!!!! He's the samurai...? O...kay. Whatever. Sark. From Alias. Anyway - moving on: I love Hiro and how frustrated he got with him. "This is going to be tough." Ha ha Hiro, as a goat licks your face. I'm really looking forward to that storyline. It'll be neat to see Hiro turn Sark into a... um... hero, and have him get with Mulan. And you know you were thinking "Mulan" too, I mean, when the girl grabbed the sword and was all "if Sark's not going to save my dad, I WILL!" Yeah. You were. Also I really loved that both Hiro and Sark were like "my sword!" Yeah. Not a coherent paragraph, but that is Sark's fault. (SARK FROM ALIAS!!!!!!!)

Well, I think my new favorite character might be that guy West, who almost ran Claire over with his car. Yep. I thought that from the first time I saw him on the screen. I was like, "oooh... who's THAT guy." And I knew that he was going to show up again, because they spent a little more time than necessary on his face when he was like "look where you're going" to Claire. And I was right! There he is in Claire's chemistry class. Was that chemistry? Why were they talking about Darwin in a chemistry class, exactly? Whatever, I almost failed chemistry so I guess I wouldn't know. Anyway - I totally want him and Claire to hook up. And guess what? They're going to! Duh! But get this! I think I have a radar for this kind of thing, because I decided I loved him from all the times he was bugging Claire at school, and then at the end OMG HE IS FLYING OUTSIDE CLAIRE'S WINDOW STALKING HER JUST LIKE SUPERMAN STALKS LOIS. WEST IS SUPERMAN. SUPERMAN! SUPERMAN IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! WEST IS SO AWESOME!!!! Caps lock and exclamation points do not fully express my feelings on this subject!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say that even though Mr. Bennett started out as a real douche last season, I really like him now. He is such a good dad, even if he is making Claire be boring. He is much better than stupid Nathan. "Why are you calling me." UM, I don't know, because I'm your daughter?! That's what you should have said, Claire. Not a bunch of crap about how you can't be someone you're not, and how you miss Peter too but you need to just like, get over it. PETER IS NOT DEAD GUYS! HE'S LOCKED UP SOMEWHERE! IN IRELAND! WITH AMNESIA! JUST WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SCENE OKAY?

I'm not sure I'm all that interested in the two new characters they introduced - the Spanish ones. But I hope they show their illegal immigration. I don't want them to just skip over that. I want to know how that works. It can't actually be that hard, if it's such a problem. I guess the girl has some kind of Hulk power, only instead of turning into a big green monster when she gets pissed off, she kills everyone. Kind of a sucky power... I mean, Ted from last season's sucked because he was radioactive and that killed people, but at least he could shoot fireballs at people. This girl Maya just makes people bleed from their eyeballs, and that's just disgusting.

I am freaked out by that little girl. Those drawings were totally disturbing. And so was the music they played when Weiss from Alias was looking at them... Oh!!! I almost forgot, now there are two people from Alias on Heroes! Sark AND Weiss! Yay for them! Only they never really shared scenes on Alias! And it looks like they probably won't share any scenes on Heroes either. So it's not really a reunion at all, except for my eyes. Anyway - that part was creepy. I'm sure the guy who is dream-stalking her is the new Sylar for this season. Only WORSE.

So Mr. Sulu is dead. I guess that's sad, because now we don't get to hear about whatever his legacy is that he gets to pass on to Hiro. But actually, we probably will, because guess what? Hiro can travel through time! So he can go talk to his dad if he wants. Oh and I guess he could like, go back in time and prevent his dad from ever dying, but whatever. It's been done. He can just ask Mrs. Petrelli. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR POWERS ARE. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Why don't they use them? I mean, they haven't even shown them using them even when nobody's looking. COME ON. I WANT TO KNOW.

About the last scene... were those Irish dudes looking for iPods? Is that really what they said? "Where are the iPods?" That's what I thought I heard. And like some chained up shirtless dude is going to know. Seriously, don't beat him up. If someone took a bunch of iPods, why would they chain themselves up in the place they stole them from, half naked and completely freaked out? Does he look like he has the iPods? Um... not really! He looks kind of traumatized actually! I don't think he needs you to hit him! Not like he can't defend himself. I mean, he's Peter. Peter can do anything. He is awesome. And not dead in case you couldn't tell.

Let us all take a moment of silence out of respect for Peter's beautiful hair, for it is gone, and it is very, very sad.


And let it be known that I want Christopher Eccleston back. Come back Claude.

I didn't see the preview for next week, because they don't show it online, because watching it online sucks. So every week it will be a surprise. Unless in a couple seconds, when I look on the NBC website, I find a link to the preview. Well... nope. No, NBC.com is being stupid once again. Fine, I don't care. I will just wait until next Tuesday.

I also watched The Bachelor and all I have to say so far is that he is not "the sexiest Bachelor ever." That's retarded. They say that every season. But this time the host guy even said to him, "people are saying you're the sexiest Bachelor... EVER. How does that make you feel?" and the guy's just like "...I don't know? Good? Thank you?" And everyone else is going "Andy was hotter." Because, well, he was.

I'm excited for all the shows to start up again. Guess what else starts this week? Grey's Anatomy! And... I'm going to watch it. Why? I don't know. Last season sucked. It suuuuuuuuuuucked. The finale was RIDICULOUS. So overdramatic and COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC. Barf. Meredith is brain damaged, because anybody who dumps Patrick Dempsey is automatically certifiable. And give me a break on that totally stupid George/Izzie relationship. That is STUPID. NO, George shouldn't have married Callie. He only did it because his dad, who died, liked her and said he should marry her. He didn't really love her. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S OKAY TO CHEAT ON HER!!!!!! UGHHHHH GEORGE! There are so many other things I want to complain about but I will save it until I watch the premiere. Because I am watching it. Because I feel obligated. Even if all I will do is ridicule it. Private Practice also starts this week, which is the Grey's spinoff about Addison. I'm watching that too, because I feel obligated. Also because... maybe, just maybe, it will be good the way Grey's was good in the beginning. (Probably not though.)
