trinityvixenI found out a while ago who the mystery person being killed off on Heroes would be, but the internet at large has finally, and without spoiler tags, confirmed it all over the place. Just in case, I'll use the spoiler cut...
And the winner is: Nathan Petrelli.
Color me shocked. The entire internet is rolling its eyes at this point because 1) Nathan's already dead, so killing the dead guy isn't exactly a shocking twist, and 2) see #1.
No really, WTF? This is neither interesting nor all that unexpected. We all knew Nathan was on borrowed time so long as he wasn't really himself. Eventually, Sylar will out, and he did by like the second or third episode. So, yeah, wasn't really surprised that we won't see much of Nathan again.
Which? Fucking sucks, actually. Adrian Pasdar, when given anything to do, rocks the house with it. Rumor has it that he also found out that he was being written off the show by reading his scripts. That's really an awesome way to communicate with your actors. It's bullshit, and Pasdar is better than that. If you failed his character and you don't need him any more, have the decency to go, "We fucked up, sorry we can't keep you around."
Also, as I've mentioned in a whole mess of current reviews at Pink Raygun, I think Zachary Quinto is entirely subsisting on an all-scenery diet at this point. What does a guy have to do to get out of his contract over there? (Besides being not white, I mean?)

Date: 2009-11-05 12:39 pm (UTC)Isn't Burn Notice excellent?! I'm caught up on that. I've seen through part of season 2 of Venture Bros. My cousin just recently informed me I need to watch Metalocalypse and another friend did the same with Psyche. I'd also like to see Fringe. How's 30 Rock? Also, have you seen any of Chuck?

Date: 2009-11-05 11:04 pm (UTC)1) Burn Notice is awesome. I love everybody on the show.
2) Venture Bros. is amazing, especially since it has continuity and still manages to be hilarious week to week.
3) Metalocalypse is just bizarre but fun.
4) Psych is silly and procedural, but I enjoy it.
5) Fringe ... haven't caught up on it!
6) 30 Rock gets better with each episode as they go into it more. Again, I really like most of the characters on the show, which helps.
7) I HEART CHUCK WITH MIGHTY HEARTING. It's seriously a wonderful show, where I love everybody in it and all the characters are their own people and it is clearly about nerds as written by a nerd versus the Heroes thing where they write about nerdy stuff as if they'd read it in books. (And not like DnD manuals! Like off poorly-edited Wiki pages!) It does poke fun at hte geeks, sure, but mostly? It's very loving.

2)Really gotta get caught up on that.
3)That's actually the only thing I've heard about Metalocalypse. I'm sold.
4)Looking forward to seeing it sometime.
5)When you say "haven't caught up", does that mean you've seen some of it, but just aren't on the current episode or season or whatever?
6)Another one for my list.
7)Well said! Also, I rejoiced when Scott Bakula. I get a little frustrated with the with certain ridiculous situations that cause moronic drama between Chuck and Sarah, but I still love the show.
new...
8)And then there's Dexter, which I've only seen through season 2 of. Love it.
movies...
9)Finally saw Zombieland last week Tuesday. I had been looking forward to it ever since I saw the trailer in front of District 9 at the theater, and it actually exceeded my expectations. That never happens!
