I am – Hercules!!

Harry Knowles is keeping up with NBC’s “Heroes.”

This may be the first time in more than a decade that Ain’t It Cool’s founder and “headgeek” has admitted to indulging a current weekly scripted series prior to its release to DVD.

He’s paying for the “Heroes” episodes via iTunes, and I think he thinks this provides some sort of loophole.

No matter. He’s embraced a show worthy of embrace.

From Harry’s myspace blog:

The Moral Quandary Presented By HEROES
Current mood: geeky
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

I don't watch much TV. I hate commercials and I hate being chained to a date and time by some corporate programming. However, I don't begrudge downloading from iTunes a single show a week that I'm addicted to. Currently, this show is HEROES. I never can remember that it is on... on Monday nights... at some time or another. It just slips my mind.

Anyway - I've got a moral quandry about the show.

Hayden Panettiere, born August 21, 1989, now 17 (legal in Texas, which is important, because her character is in Odessa, Texas) as the character, Claire Bennett. She's adorably cute, constantly in her cheerleader uniform.

Ok - now never mind that she fulfills the underage cheerleading limber blond virginal demographic. That's pretty delicious.

But they gave her the ability to regenerate and resuscitate from any and all injuries.

This power has decided to manifest itself before she's lost her virginity.

Which means - everytime she has sex, she's a virgin as her hymen will repair itself. Meaning that everytime she's fucked, its like she's being fucked for the very first time.

OK - that's WAY WRONG.

NOW - add to that - that she's at the age where cellular growth is complete. This is it. No wrinkles. No sagging breasts. If she has a kid and it pushes the hipbones out... they'll straighten back and she'll be fine.

Of course - that's even if she could get pregnant. Would her eggs allow an invading sperm to fertilize? Is that possible?

OR - is she simply doomed to enjoy threat free sex for life. Now - here's the scary part. She'll never know non-hymen blocked sex. Cuz even if it gets pushed through... on any withdrawal and cycle back in, the hymen will have grown back. SO...

It's my theory that do to the constant discomfort of virginal sex with men, her character will prefer the kind attention of her fellow sex. MEANING - she'll be a hot, underage, cheerleading lesbian... for life.

ALSO - she could have sex with ANYONE. Any disease - unprotected and be perfectly ok.

The people behind this show are sick. Either that or they have singlehandedly created the most deviantly awesome fanboy sex object in the history of SUPERHERO FICTION.

And she's from Texas.

Claire... you rule!
