So. They fired the dead guy. Huh.
Maybe it's my fault for assuming that behind-the-scenes of Heroes would have to be more interesting than what's on the screen. Still, if you've seen Profit, you know that Adrian Pasdar was likely the best actor on Heroes, and tragically given the least to do. Virtually any good TV series would be lucky to have him, so I hope that he lands on his feet soon. Meanwhile, Zachary Quinto is desperately trying to figure out how he can get himself fired.

Weak. I'm not terribly surprised, as they'd written themselves into a bit of a hole with that, but it totally removed any emotional impact of the character dying.

There's still time to kill somebody. I'm calling this a red haring.

It's a blessing in disguise for Pasdar. The guy has talent to spare, and I'm just hoping that Hollywood doesn't continue to ignore that fact. (I, too, at a young age watched Profit, and Pasdar would've been a household name if that show continued the same way it started)
It is kind of a shame for the guy too, because apparently he was enjoying his job and got along well with his co-stars.

Holy crap, I was right.
I said that their types had a really wide definition of what a 'main character' was and that it could have been someone who just showed up in the show once or twice. And they did exactly that. Bunch of predictable jackasses.
They're so desperate to make things popular again...I hope they can the series after this. They obviously have nothing left.

At least he can go off and do something worthwhile now.

Heh. I really do hope he (and Robert Knepper) hold out until the rumoured series finale around May though.

this just proves heros is running out of gas and should have its plug pulled as mercy killing for to fire the actor who already is playing a dead guy. when fans thought it would someone else like hiro. lame. as for zackary trying to get fired surprise he did not use his sucess from star trek to pull some stuff that would have the execs mad enough to look at ways to send sylar bye bye for good

You mentioned Profit. Nice. :) Profit was a series ahead of it's time; focusing on the adventures of a villain is only now catching on with shows like The Shield and Dexter.
I wish Pasdar all the best and I hope his firing is a blessing in disguise.

Pasdar is a fucking hottie and the only reason I watched Heroes. Someone get him on a new show, stat!

Pasdar might have been fine, but Nathan was a bore. Was anyone tuning in for the adventures of the conflicted politician who can, wait for it, fly? I think it's pretty sad that when they finally gave him something interesting to do (i.e. play Sylar), it was just a precursor to the ax.
Oh well. So long, Ade. We'll miss you and your weird, oblong, Lego-person head.
PS Profit, Profit, Profit. Blah, blah, blah. No love for Near Dark? Kids these days...

MotherSkywalker. You referenced Profit. Most tragically underwatched show of the 90's. Just started to get interesting when they booted it.

I don't think Pasdar is the one the rumor was talking about, I think it's Mohinder, we saw him dead at the end of the last episode. And I'm pretty sure a script wouldn't read 'oh and Nathan is no longer in the show SMASH CUT: Black'

Bought Profit as soon as it came out on DVD. Made The Wife watch it.

I still can't help myself, I really want Heroes to succeed. Unbelievably, I enjoyed last Monday's episode. I like the levity that they brought to Hiro's character and bringing back Charlie was pretty cool (redheads rule).
Same refrain as Madness Monk - love Pasdar was bored to tears with Nathan. Reminds me of my friend asking "in the old X-Men is there a character that sucks worse than Angel?". No regen, no strength, no weapons, just flight - lame! If Nathan is going to be a politician he needs something more interesting.
Bring Pasdar back and make him timeshare with Sylar. That way they are sharing the same powerset.
