Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] raissad, I read this article which says that Christopher Eccleston will return to Heroes next season. Even though they spell his name wrong, I believe them. I want to believe. Picture me doing the spinach dance of happiness.1

Best part of the interview: Best answer of the night: 'What superpower would you want a US president to have? Jack Coleman: "A brain."'

~ ~ ~

1 "The spinach dance of happiness" was taught to me by my house guest, Squeaker the guinea pig, who does a remarkable dance of ecstasy at the sight of a handful of spinach. She has taught me a whole new level of expression of happiness; imagine Snoopy's dance Suppertime performed at double speed and twice the intensity.

On spoiler: Huzzah!

On icon: I've been looking at pictures of John Barrowman for awhile today looking for pictures to smoosh, but that icon still stops me dead in my tracks.

Huzzah!

And double hazzah. Really good news.

This icon seems to have the perfect balance of composition, colour, mood, and sheer Barrowman beauty. It was created by [livejournal.com profile] caiiwinchester, who must be a genius.

Oh, gosh, I hope they're right! I'd love more Chris Eccleston (and more Claude)!

Also, I really, really love Jack Coleman right about now. *snicker*

How could anyone not love Jack Coleman? Sure, in early episodes I thought he was a cold-hearted scary bastard, and I was right, but that's just because he's such a good actor he convinced me. What a role. What an actor!

He's wonderful.

And, yes: *snicker*.

Thoughts On Bennet & Claude

From: [identity profile] raissad.livejournal.com
Squeee!! Even before this news a scenario occurred to me that would make Bennet even more morally gray...

Let's stipulate that Bennet toed the Company line, as far as we know, when he shot Claude. However, let's say for the sake of argument that Bennet believed Claude. He had to protect Claire. In order to protect Claire in the long run, he'd need to cultivate resources. In order to cultivate resources, he needed to stay with the Company, Resource Central. In order to stay with the Company, he needed to stay in the Company's good graces, otherwise they'd take Claire from him and/or kill him.To stay in the Company's good graces, he had to follow orders re: Claude.

In other words, he had to shoot Claude, either way.

That all sounds to me plausible to the point of likelihood. And yes, either way, he would have to shoot Claude. And Claude would know the story - no wonder he's paranoid and reclusive.

Another S2 Spoiler

Actually, I find this (http://www.edmontonsun.com/Entertainment/Showbiz/2007/09/01/4462879-sun.html) wonderfully ironic, given how many genre shows film in Canada.

The US pretending to be Canada seems rather suitable, in redressing an imbalance, considering how often it happens the other way round. And how many US shows can you think of that feature scenes in Canada? I can't think of any, but maybe I don't watch enough.

But then Heroes, while thoroughly centred on the US, is more international in scope than most US shows anyway. Which is wonderful. And we've not only had scenes in India, it looks as if we'll be getting scenes in feudal Japan!

Whatever they're doing - I look forward to it.

Season 2 leaps ahead four months to find Peter presumed dead.

Hah! In comics no one is dead for long. (Fans of Stephanie Brown, like myself, may grump here.) Peter will be back. I hope he isn't gone long. And I hope he isn't transformed too much - short hair is bad enough.

the Company ... is deeply ingrained in the neuro-degrading virus that killed Mohinder's (Sendhil Ramamurthy) sister Shanti

Shades of the Legacy Virus in X-Men.

Also big this season is the backstory of the old-guard heroes

Hooray! ...But what about Claude?

Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) as Elle, a sexy criminal with ties to Peter's "death"

Say what?

(Dare I hope we get Elle/Peter sex scenes? My TV would explode from the exquisite prettiness.)

"someone viewers already know will be embroiled in this story."

That is a very cheap tease.

That's really cool about Claire's boyfriend.

I can hardly wait.
