Sounds like they've been watching X-Men. Again.
-
to be old. Older than any one else. Does any one even give a shit about Heroes anymore? Season 2 - Kristen Bell = Total Garbage.
-
I like Boxleitner.
-
mccain like character??? uhhh, kring doesnt get it...stop trying to make the show socially relevent
-
"...a John McCain-like character. " So it's some guy running for President? Or is he more like a Greg Stillson type? Heroes has ripped off Watchmen and X-men storylines, why not The Deadzone too? Maybe his power is he can make dead people's blood circulate so an IV drip with Claire's blood is all it takes to cure someone from being dead.

SCARECROW AND MRS. KING's Bruce Boxleitner Joins Cast of HEROES!
-
I think we're talking about Die Hard and some idiot misspelt McClane, then i realise it's the Relublican dude (although i suppose with all the killing left right and center and gung ho antics McClane was probably Republican too). Sadly it's just that Don Rickles lookalike. Maybe he should campaign as if he is McClane, Arnold got in!
-
Hopefully this season of Heroes won't get bogged down with crap new characters.
-
up for a part on Lost. The rumours about her being on Lost began because she was in Hawaii (shooting Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and it was just assumed she was there for Lost.
-
I would think that after the horrid disappointment that was the season one finale and ALL of season two, they'd have backed off and tried to bury the show. Nothing about season two was likable, unless you're a fan of the skinny electro-chick because she looks like the boy you had a crush on in middle school.
Sorry, but Heroes screwed the pooch with that awful season one finale, and then just made things worse by doing everything wrong in the following season; The stupid twins, the death of one character and the non-death of another, the Irish pub memory loss scenes, and so on--- Heroes lost track of itself. It disobeys its own rules and continuity, it jumps around and introduces new characters when we haven't seen the old ones fully developed yet, and it just plain sucks now. -
Heroes sucked from episode 1.
-
or the Scarecrow and Mrs King's Bruce Boxleitner?
oh wait, people already made those jokes.
damn. -
I started watching the series from the beginning this week (on Episode 1.13)... I really wish they would remaster that damn series with higher resolution CG... cause the transfer upscaling looks horrible. Of course, since WB lost the damn CG resources, probably not ever going to happen.

Oh yeah, that show about the Bush administration in space
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Nightwatch = Homeland Security & Patriot Act, Government paranoid of outside alien influence subverting good ol human values, pretending homelessness and other social problems don't exist, trading weapons and technologies with militant forces while declaring war on "terrorists", President that disolves the senate. Haha, the good ol nineties when that was far fetched fantasy!
-
Love her, don't get me wrong, but Rebecca Mader is super-hot, and I get a more serious vibe from her that fits a lot better into the Lost universe.
-
I'd also love to see the CGI scenes of Bab-5 re-done. I'd buy all the DVDs again if they'd do it.
Hopefully the next Lost Tales release gets a bit more of a budget so JMS can do something a little more... robust. -
I'll be here all week.
-
Bring em back alive!
That's where I first knew him from. -
Actually, the only Heroes news I've heard in a long time.
-
And the ability to hold on to a pretty chick years younger. Oh wait.. Heroes already has that with Milo.
-
I'd be very wary of whether or not Charlotte is gonna survive the next 3 weeks (not a spoiler, just speculation on E!'s Kristin dos Santos' part).
-
Free glasses from your choice of PearleVision or LensCrafters if you think Zoe is better than Kristen. Hell, even alphabetically Kristen RUTSes her ;)
RUTS = Run Up the Score -
I think you meant to say, "Season 2 - Maja and Alejandrooooo = total garbage that Maya didn't stay capped."
-
LMAO.
-
His character on Heroes should have the ability to turn into wood.
-
She's going in Guest Actress, with Cautionary Tales as her submission tape, and a voiceover category for her smooth-as-silk/catty as shit work as Gossip Girl. Time for Harry Groener and/or Hank Azaria to stop winning voiceover Emmys and let somebody else step forward.
-
My bad.

Is school out for Summer? Because I hear 12 year olds whining.
by jeditemple
Geez! This is why I don't come to this site anymore. Freakin' fanboys who do nothing but gripe and moan at any announcement. And if it's not them, it's idiots threadjacking with political commentary.
-
Cuz I'd watch THAT.
-
From the back cover of Mark Millar's "The Ultimates v. 1"..."Captain America, a star-spangled super-soldier with John Glenn's buzz-cut cool, John McCain's politics and Mike Tyson's right cross"
-
Fucking season two blew mutated ox balls. They'll probably regurgitate what's already been done, Petey will lose his memories again, start fresh once again learning his powers, hey, let's have more of Claire's teenage angst again!Something like that Jeditemple?Let's hope he can jump rope.
-
But Heroes was simply more gung-ho to sign her up. She said this herself on KROQ's Kevin and Bean show on the night of her Heroes debut last October. I'm sure if Lost really, really wanted her, they would have backed up the brinks truck to the front door of her house, for example.
-
Although his acting was sometimes hammy, the episode where he interrogated Morden proved that he can sometimes be quite good. As for making him like McCain, does that mean we'll get to see him say he hates all gooks as he trembles and drools over the nuclear button? Having a choice between a socialist and a mad-man is kind of like choosing to be fucked up the ass with a chainsaw over being fucked up the ass with a shotgun. This country is doomed in 2009, but hopefully Heroes can still make a come-back.
-
Is there a single original story or character on this show?
-
"Bring 'Em Back Alive"'s Bruce Boxleitner. Anyone remember that old Indiana Jones ripoff from before Scarecrow and Mrs. King? I think it was on at the same time as Tales of the Brass (or Gold?) Monkey. God I'm old.
-
We would be so fucked from Socialism. I mean fucking TAKING CARE OF ONE ANOTHER!? ARE YOU SHITTING ME? This country would go to FUCKING PIECES!! Socialism doesn't make me feel like a badass either! What kind of awesome patriotic bumper stickers am I supposed to get with that kind of bullshit?
-
season 2 was weak
-
If you watch the the show from "Four Months Ago..." onward, it's actually fairly solid, in my opinion. Yeah, they dropped the ball with the new characters (except for Elle and Bob), they left Hiro in the past for WAY too fucking long and they neglected Nikki. But, the stuff with Parkman and Nathan in the early episodes was cool, as was the storyline with Mohinder and HRG. The season as a whole was hit or miss, but it is nowhere near the abortion a lot of folks like to make it out to be.
-
I don't know why, but that really made me laugh. Just the thought of seeing Boxleitner walking around wearing a Tron costume for no reason would be hilarious.
-
Come on Season 2 was a big dissapointment... After Season 1's "Company Man" it was over....Well everybody deserves a second chance....(then why not Journeyman????) Good for Bruce "Frank Buck Sheridan". Like to see him again. His last movie with Val Kilmer " Conspiracy" was also THAT bad. Another TV-hero casted. Looking forward to see the following persons casted in the series: Richard Dean Anderson, Patrick Stewart, Lee Majors,David Hasselhoff,´´´´Bring them back alive!!!!!!

Then go help people. The "country" can't afford it anymore. Every dollar you pay in income taxes goes to pay interest on the debt. We have $53 trillion in unfunded liabilities and a $700 trillion derivatives bubble that is set to explode. We're on the verge of an economic collapse as no one wants to buy that debt anymore. Prices are inflating like crazy because we're printing money as fast as we can to fund everybody and their grandmother. It's endgame time for the dollar. I would prefer having twice my salary so that I can contribute to the charities that I think are most efficient (even the worst are more efficient than the government) and certainly more compassionate. Instead of half our salaries going to fund wars against people who never did us any harm, maybe a quarter will go straight to helping people. If you think our government is in the business of helping people, you need to tell me where you get your news from cause I've yet to see it.

I still think of "Bring Em Back Alive"... God I'm old.

...that not only was Boxleitner a big bag of asshole, but he was HORRIBLE at recalling his lines and forced multiple takes of the simplest scenes.
-
I was just wondering where you got the idea someone was going to throw a big socialism revolution and switch our government out overnight? You brought it up pal. I just get sick of when people bring socialism up like it's in the same league as facism or something, I mean just look the ol' nordic countries, half the population is pagan odin worshipping badasses, there's no bullshit laws like no smoking in bars, people live longer, the women are hotter, crime is nothing over there, there are places over there that actually decide their laws by town fucking meetings, imagine that democracy! And if you've got a grandpa sick and dying who wants to be euthanized, people don't throw a bitch fit and call it murder or cowardly, like living in a hospital, shitting yourself and in fear of pain constantly is brave and ending your own life on your own terms is the cowards way out. People have some kind of sense there instead of all this backwards ass, I was raised on too many john wayne movies putting up a tough guy front bullshit nonsense thinking that is everywhere in america. And I know your thinking, well if you don't like it you can get out, well don't worry bud, I'm working on it, and I can't fucking wait.

I'm currently living in a beach front property on a southern island with extremely high sunshine hours in summer (double what most places get), zero rainfall, but more fresh water than anywhere else in the world, and a naked woman behind every tree.
That fact I'm in Antarctica and there are no trees and all the water is frozen is beside the point, but anything can be made to sound good. -
Always have liked the stuff Bruce has done.
-
got everyone excited, and did basically nothing with her character
-
is set to be Hiro's "arch enemy". She actually sounds like she might add some fun that was missing in much of the 2nd season.
-
Harry should have written it so that it would have a spoiler tag and tell us that George Bush personally put a bullet in the head of everyone who died on 9-11.
-
Can't win the thread about George Bush being a total dick, so they bring their ire here to attack the downtrodden, unfortunate Heroes fans.
It's just like a conservative to kick someone when they're down. -
hope it turns out good.
