TR’s Heroes Live-Blog VII: It All Comes Together
Just a reminder that a new episode of Heroes will be on tonight, so there will be a Topless Robot live-blog of the episode. And unless you want me to drink myself to death, you’d best show up so I have someone to type to.
This episode is supposed to be set just before Pa Petrelli’s death prior to season one, which could reveal a ton of cool answers ?or any kind of answers, actually?about what Petrelli’s plan is, or what his motivations are. But given the state of this season, I’m guessing it’s just going to be a big fucking mess, with a new of developments which outright contradict most of what’s been shown in this and previous seasons, while still making zero sense. I know; it’s a bold prediction, but I’m standing by it. See you brave souls at 8:50 pm EST?bring your turtles.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
