WHAT.

This is a spoiler for Heroes. So, okay, I must put it behind a cut. But you must promise me to read it because I'm flipping the fuck out.

Meet Sylar's Daddy.

HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME? I WAS ALL SET TO WISH YOU INTO OBLIVION AND NOW YOU HAVE CAST THE MAGNIFICENT BASTARD AND I CAN NEVER STOP WATCHING.

No, seriously, y'all, I LOOOOOOVE John Glover. I first saw him on the soon-canceled Brimstone playing the Devil. THE LITERAL DEVIL, AND IT WAS LITERALLY AWESOME. (Biden-speech for the WIN!) I can't remember much else about the show, but I remember one exchange where he was defending himself (SATAN WAS) against the accusation that he liked any thing: "The only thing I ever loved was God." (a beat, then, more horrified) "And that was a long time ago."

OH HAI, JOHN GLOVER, I LOVE YOU. I HAVE MISSED YOU SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE YOU ON SMALLVILLE NO MORES.

Okay, back under control of myself now. I shouldn't get too excited. They will only find a way to RUIN this the way they have EVERYTHING ELSE. Not to mention I'm a little over the "Bad Dad!" story line. Seriously, no one aside from Claire has had a nice father, and I'm convinced that if Mr. Bennet weren't Jack Coleman and he wasn't a main character on the show, he'd be a Bad Dad. They occasionally try to make him seem like one. But since Claire's a BRAT, and a poorly written one at that, anything she throws in Mr. B's face is re-cock-u-lous and he looks even better.

I haven't seen Heroes in weeks, but your enthusiasm makes me almost want to do so.

The second I posted this, I was like, "No, wait, wtf, they're just going to make you cry when they ruin this."

This Monday's episode wasn't terrible. It had one or two moments where I didn't feel like experimenting with bulimia rather than sit through the show. Brian Fuller is coming back, too, and the way he talks about where the show has gone wrong makes me think he might be able to fix some of the problems. (Some, not all; damage done, alas.)

BUT IT IS JOHN GLOVER. This is the guy who makes Lex Luthor look like a NOOB on Smallville. So, yeah, I exploded a little. It will be next to impossible to get over him not being Lionel Luthor, but I'm prepared to go with it until they ruin it and then start burning things down.

We used to watch Smallville and he was pretty slick evil. Of course, by the time we gave up on that show I was only watching in the hopes that Lex would wear leather pants. LOL. I never got my wish.

But it would be cool if some of the damage done to Heroes were mended.

We can only hope at this point. They added some entirely decent actors this season, and it went nowhere fast. I dunno. SIGH about Brian Fuller, though. Even if he could fix it, I DON'T WANT HIM TO HAVE THE FREE TIME. GO BACK TO PUSHING DAISIES FOREVER.
