Heroes

Anyone out there still watching Heroes in UK time?? I'm catching up after several weeks away. After the much foretold lacklustre beginning I love Hiro but yawwwwn!), it suddenly seems to be catching fire again c episode 8. I love these catch up/flashback/alternate world eps. And, mm, more Peter Petrelli with no shirt on :)Bring it on. Is it me or did he work out a LOT between series 1 and 2??

Does anyone else think Sylar looks like a Cpt Scarlet puppet? We aren't really going to have Uhura as a regular character are we?? And why does the guy playing Adam look so familiar (or is it just his general resemablance to Paul Bettany as Chaucer crosed with a voice a bit like Spike? Which I have to say is NOT A BAD COMBO.

Also an episode with no portentous Mohinder stuff. Result!

AS you can tell, devoid of Surallen I have to get my testosterone fix somewhere on a Wednesday!! (Tho actually he's on Rm 101 at 10 o'clock - Ang take note!!)

Today: final exam board (with a rather nice lunch with prawns, mozarella, smoked salmon blinis and Prosecco.

Tomorrow: is Another Day. In more ways than one :)

Aha! I was thinking of Adam as Paul Bettany as Chaucer too.

Sylar is starting work with us in a couple of weeks time. We're all very scared. And wondering if we'll lose D&I points if we call him Sylar on day 1.

Diversity and Inclusion. We must not mock the afflicted. Unless it's really funny.

I am told Adam was in Alias. Does that help?

I think the last couple of episodes of S2 picked up as well, but it's so long since I watched them! I'll be back for S3, though.

Aha! I did vaguely wonder. i think I remember him from a few eps before I gave up on Alias.

Yes, he was the insanely hot evil british dude from season two onward of Alias. His name was Sark. He was INSANELY hot.

Surallen is on Room 101 at the moment.

That'll teach me to skim read!

Tell me it wasn't on tonight? Last week it was Thursday, so I didn't even think about it tonight.

No no I just caught up on ep 8 from lst week.

Yes it's the Paul Bettany thing. Also he has one of the best english accents ever delivered by an American.

I fecking hate Mohinder, and have done since the pilot episode. He needed slapping. And every week with his pretentious wibbling bollocks at the beginning, which always made me yell "SHAAADAAAAP". Even more than the pretentious wibbling at the beginning of Criminal minds.

Hiro became good once he stopped being an over-excitable twat.

The Guardian referred to Peter as someone who "needs three weeks notice if you want him to change expression". And he is SO Keanu.

He is indeed so Keanu. But boy his pecs are good. And I have a strange soft spot for Keanu lookalikes..

"Woah".

"Does anyone else think Sylar looks like a Cpt Scarlet puppet?"

ROFL - indeed.

The lacklustre beginning has killed Heroes for us. Given a choice between watching last night's episode and playing Lego Indiana Jones the videogame; Indy won.
