The Burning Heroes Questions You’d Totally Forgotten About
Well, I did. Such was the lameness that was Heroes‘ second season I had no recollection that Nathan Petrelli had even been shot, or that Hiro had taken over his pappy’s business until I viewed this video of a smattering of Heroes Season 3 previews. It includes such awkwardness as Future Claire holding Future Peter at gun point (although the real awkwardness is when she says she loves him?aren’t they uncle and niece on the show?), more homoerotic banter between Hiro and Ando, the worst line I hope to ever hear on the show as delivered by Sylar, YET ANOTHER FUCKING REMINDER THAT MAYA’S POWER IS TO KILL NEARBY PEOPLE WHEN SHE’S UPSET, and a brief introduction to the speedster girl, whose name I can’t be bothered to remember.
So here’s my question?who’s up for a Topless Robot Heroes live blog on Monday night? Obviously, I’m bitter, pessimistic, and not much looking forward to the show after last season, and I have no real reason to think I can live-blog entertainingly. But, if you guys are gonna watch, it might be worth a few laffs. Whaddya say?
