I Loves Me Some Heroes
How awesome was last night's episode of Heroes? If you said "pretty darn awesome," then a winner is you!
I don't get to watch Heroes when it airs on Mondays, since I have an outstanding date with Monday Night Raw every week and I sadly don't own a TiVo. So because of that, I either catch reruns on the Sci-Fi Channel whenever they are, or download them and watch them on my computer. I downloaded last night's episode and just finished watching it, and holy cow, it was great.
It's obvious that Hayden Panettiere is the star of the show, since Claire is the best written character on the show (with Masi Oka's character coming in at a close second). And because of that, it makes sense that there'd be a Claire-centric episode somewhere down the line. That episode was this week, and I'm willing to go out on a limb and say it's probably the best episode of the show thus far. I don't want to give too much away, since I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but the episode was absolutely tremendous.
I'll admit that while I wasn't too sure about the Mr. Bennet character when I first got into the series, but he's really grown on me over time. And because of how much he and Claire have grown on me, the episode really got to me, especially the ending. Oh boy, the ending. It was so sad and so heart-wrenching, I don't know if Heroes can top it. And is it just me, or is Heroes's Nuclear Man a zillion times cooler than Superman 4's Nuclear Man? Because he is.
I really can't wait until Heroes hits DVD. That way, I can sit down, watch every episode back-to-back, and see how everything pieces together. Heroes is an absolutely amazing and enthralling show, no doubt about it. And if you're not watching it anyway you can, then shame on you. Now I'm just waiting for NBC to give Hiro and Ando their own spinoff series. That'd be awesome.

I still like my comment from last night (given that my superior West Coast time zone lets me watch RAW on satellite East Coast feed and Heroes on local time) that if Heroes was a significant other, I could have it jailed forever for beating me with the surprise stick.
It was an awesome episode. Every revelation just raised a million more questions.
Rumor has it they have the series planned out for FIVE seasons.
East Coast > West Coast. It's been scientifically proven.
Who got to watch Heroes first?
That's what I thought.
Check. And mate.
Oh, you're just jealous that you West Coasters are three hours behind us East Coasters.
Three more hours of daylight, no snow, theme parks, ocean, what's there to be jealous of?
The fact that we won't get rattled off the map by an earthquake?
They've said that's going to happen for decades and it hasn't happened yet.
You guys still get tornadoes and stuff on a yearly basis.
We win... we... always win.
Yeah, electing two actors to the California governor's office totally makes the West Coast better.
I'm just afraid our East Coast/West Coast feud is gonna get us shot like Biggie and 2Pac.
Yeah! That episode totally rocked.
2 actors? Or 1 actor twice?
And you know, technically speaking, you're not *really* on the East COAST.
Oh... duh. I keep forgetting Reagan was an actor.
But considering he went on to be President, I think his political career ended up outshining his acting career, something I don't think realistic for Schwarzenegger.
Plus I think the fact that the COUNTRY voted Reagan in as President (and in fact every state in the Union but Minnesota voted for him in 1984), we get let off the hook for him.
Just let me have my fantasy of geological superiority.
Kentucky is right next to New Hampshire in my book, man.
That book needs some serious geographical fact checkery. :P
Plus, I still say I have claimed this blog for Californian superiority (boy I wish I had an edit button on these comments).
Well, once I'm in charge, Kentucky's going to annex New England, Tennessee, the Virginias, and the entire Pacific Seaboard. We'll have to print up new geography books, but it'll be awesome.
Just nuke Texas, or send it to Pluto and I'll be happy.
But what's Mickey Mouse's dog have to do with this?
About the same that the Romans' mythical lord of the Underworld does.
