Have they gotten bored with David Bowie references for episode titles, and now have to start combing theoretical physics? No problem; there's a lot they can do with that. But still... no "Scary Monsters"? No "Queen Bitch"? No "Sense of Doubt" (from the album Heroes?)... Huh? HUH ( Read more... )

What? Amanda is Peter's love interest? What? She can't be! She's too terrible of an actor! *cries*

Wait, what? Lydia's daughter? BUT I LIKE EMMA. HE HAS CHEMISTRY WITH EMMA. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE WRITERS????

I don't knnnnnnoooooow. Wish I did. Or maybe they're just fucking with us. I just hope I'm wrong/paranoid/been burned too many times in the past.

Your reviews are fab - I don't have an lj, but I've been reading yours for a while.

Just felt I had to pipe up, since people are getting upset: The web comics I interpreted as Amanda having a little crush on Peter, much like the one lame 'movie Rogue' had on kick ass Wolverine - it was never gonna happen. Was there some sort of reference to an unknown "daughter" matching up with Peter (if so, how did I miss that?). Because if there was, it has to be Emma. They're building up a nice role for her, and her mother (Louise Fletcher! My god) must have a back story as well, something of great significance.

Yeah, thanks, I hope you're right; it's hard to interpret the Peter Smile because we see it so infrequently. I'm antsy about whether or not they're going to try to hook Peter up this season; I just don't want them to. And if they do, it damn well should be with Emma. It would be right.

I'd love to think that they didn't just cast Louise Fletcher because she was free, without any intention of making her into a real character (see: Nichelle Nichols, Richard Roundtree, Clint Howard, etc.) They are spoilt for guest-star choice but every time I see a famous face, I want them to be a real character - even if it's only sadly short term, like Nora Zehetner or Chris Eccelston - or even Malcolm McDowell, David Anders, or Mr. George Takei.

I just watched this weeks Heroes (stupid work holding me up... although that means lots of money so meh) and I really liked it. I kept holding off reading your commentary of it so I could watch the episode first and that was really, really hard for me, let me tell you. Like always I loved your thoughts on the episode. Can't wait to see next weeks one. :)
