Harry Knowles Endorses HEROES Generally and Wants To Save The Cheerleader In Particular!!

FURSTY!!!!!!! by NedGump	Nov 6th, 2006 01:17:19 AM
Hey...maybe she'll be into the anal, huh harry? All she needs is lube...I mean..there's no breaking of anything back there! And...heres an issue...if she regenerates everything...then how does she keep from being hairy? Shouldn't her pits and legs be a thick blond thatch of hair...along with her hoo-haa?

jesus by BadMrWonka	Nov 6th, 2006 01:31:52 AM
I just read this thoroughly, and I'm convinced Harry should NOT be allowed on myspace. at all. ever. even though Paul Ruebens has a sort of career after his indiscretion, but no one is asking him to do hand puppet performances...and so Harry can have a glorious career, but no one should ever ask him his opinion about cheerleaders and their sex lives, or allow him to be on a teenage dominated chat website...

harry, that was fucking brilliant.
Did he just say that out loud? by smellmycheese	Nov 6th, 2006 01:50:10 AM
Man, there really are some things you should just keep to yourself (yer pervert). Harry and the cheerleader? I'm getting visions of Jabba the Hutt and Salacious Crumb.
Herc, could you refrain from doing that again? by MattCG	Nov 6th, 2006 01:55:58 AM
Seriously, that made me slightly sick and was in no way amusing at all. This is why I don't read Harry's reviews. They're littered with references to his penis and how he would use that penis and frankly the idea of guy as big as he is pumping one out to an episode of "Heroes", his giant body heaving as he beat that penis against the underside of his gut, is just about enough to make anyone sick, especially considering people that are that big have problems with cysts taking form in their fatty tissues, so add bursting cysts filled with chunky, putrid puss to the vision of him beating his penis against the bottom of his gut and you've got a recipe for vomit on the keyboard. I don't need a perverted description of the downside of Claire's powers to help me enjoy the show. It's good enough as is. Although I'm now all kinds of worried Harry could be planning a black van trip to the set. My only solace is, she can probably run way faster than he can. From this moment on, Herc, I'd be happy if you could refrain from posting anything from Harry's MySpace journal in a thread about a show I like (Those would be "Studio 60", "Heroes" and "Battlestar Galactica") I'm plenty sure they will one day be featured in an episode of "To Catch A Predator". And Harry: STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR FUCKING DICK! I don't want to fucking hear it, it makes me sick. Remember your review of "Blade 2"? Yeah, that kind of shit. Stop that. It's not funny and it reads like a psychopath's nighttime journal.
Matty C G don't like mens willys? ....strange by Talkbacker with no name	Nov 6th, 2006 02:08:54 AM
Harry's right, bud! He's opened my eyes to a side of the show i'd never thought of before. Oh and he didn't talk about 'his' dick once...he was talking about ours...ok maybe not ours because we are geeks in a basement but he was talking about someones which is fucking claire.
What the Fuck? by eclipsedman	Nov 6th, 2006 02:09:41 AM
Harry I now know that NO woman either real, transvestite or high paid hooker would have sex much less get near you, ever. You are the fat guy at work talking about sex like he has had it before and has no idea what the fuck he is talking about. Always trying to prove what a man he is but secretly lusting over the men he sees.
The joy of being lusted by a 734 lbs bozo lookalike by Monkeybrains	Nov 6th, 2006 02:09:43 AM
Just horrible you stupid, fat, fucking, cocksucking, motherfucking, two ball licking, ass munching, anal fletching, dirty sanchez receiving, piece of dried up, petrified and gobbling down the rotten corn stuck in it, piece of shit . Oh, and you suck too, Harry
Like Harry actually wants to have sex with her... by kintar0	Nov 6th, 2006 02:16:38 AM
when we all know he really wants to eat her. Not sexually, but for dinner. That's why he constantly describes attractive women as "delicious" or "scrumptious" or "yummy." Quint and Moriarty do it, too, so it might be a fat guy thing. Yeah, she regenerates, just like Thor's goats, and Harry could eat the meat from her carcass, over and over and over. Oooh, Harry wrote an inappropriate sexual diatribe, how shocking. The first thing Harry probably said when he saw the cheerleader on the medical examiner's table was "I want my babyback, babyback, babyback." And he's from Texas, where everybody's a slaughterhouse-closing away from cannibalism anyway.
You know, seriously....... by Doc_Strange	Nov 6th, 2006 02:19:14 AM
Harry, try this, I lost 60 pounds in 2 months, and I ate a shit load of food: Eat 2-3 pounds of meat. Try eating chicken, I ate boneless, marinated chicken, or eat 85-90% lean hamburger. You can also eat certain cuts of steak like chuck or porter house, no rib eye or fillet mignon as it has too much fat in it. Eat as much meat as you need to in order to feel full. Now here's the hard part: Eat vegetables. Doesn't matter which ones, I ate broccoli or corn as I generally hate eating vegetables. It's always good to balance your meat intake with a vegetable. For desert, eat sugar free pudding. I would make a whole bowl of this stuff and eat it in one sitting. I figured out a way to make custard using packets of Splenda instead of sugar. Now people may be asking "Why the fuck is this guy giving diet advice on the TB's?" The answer is because you'll never be able to fuck 17 year old girls if you're an obese slob. The only outlet you'll have for your sexual frustration is shit like this pointless article. I may get banned for this but at least I can say I tried to help solve the problem as opposed to helping it along. Damn.

yea, I saw that movie, which made 8,000 dollars opening weekend. i sat there in the theater, mildly amused and thinking, damn, this girl is smoking hot and will be huge if she can only find better roles. she was damn good in the movie too. so she has all three, looks, talent and youth. also, I didn't have to feel creepy, because she is roughly my age. same way I didn't have to feel creepy when I saw Leon the first time, since I too was 14.

And Harry gets hooked on Heroes? Is it a wonder I trust Herc's and Moriarty's reviews more... Sad.
only if she wills it to be healed by FlowCytometer	Nov 6th, 2006 03:06:31 AM
She seems only to heal when she concentrates on it, recall that the dripping hand post-garbage disposal didn't begin to heal until she wasn't distracted by mom. So if she wants it to heal, I guess only then will it heal. No idea if there is a time limit for scarring or your particular area of interest.

Okay, look, Harry officially has issues by KCMOSHer	Nov 6th, 2006 05:11:45 AM
It seems like everything, -every-frickin-thing- he writes comes back to sex, and graphic sex talk. It all started with the whole 'Blade II club scene is like oral sex' schtick, which was amusing. It's gotten worse, and this is just pathetic. Harry, man, please...find something, -anything- that will sate your ungodly lust so that you can occasionally write about something other than how media of one form or another somehow relates to where your penis goes. Everything is either 'fuck Bush' or 'hey, this reminds me of fucking bush'. STEP AWAY FROM THE BUSH, HARRY! And Herc. He's your boss, I can dig it. But please, for the love of all that is holy, you're an 'enabler' here. STOP ENCOURAGING HIM. It's not cute, it's not entertaining, it's sad and getting more than a little creepy.
Well by Alientoast	Nov 6th, 2006 05:12:10 AM
"Sure she's invincible, but do wrinkles and sagging boobs count as injuries?"...We're assuming her cells instantly regenerate. Aging is caused by cells dying. So if her cells never died or lost energy, in essence she would never age.

Pedophiles are attracted to SMALL children. Since Hayden has boobs and pubes she is a young woman. Now that said, Claire Bennet is my dream woman, since her hymen repairs everytime after sex I would be making love to a virgin every night!

Thank God! When I saw Harry was posting. . . by LlGHTST0RMER	Nov 6th, 2006 05:44:38 AM
. . .something about the cheerleader character, I was thinking to myself, "Please, God, PLEASE let there be something Harry says that makes me feel disgusted and uncomfortable, and maybe, just maybe, let him say something that will unfortunately stay with me everytime I watch Heroes in the future. Just something to get stuck in my craw that'll re-ignite the image of Harry's manatee-like body accosting this attractive young lady everytime she appears on the show." Woo! That was a close one! I was so afraid I'd actually read something Harry writes and not feel like vomiting for once! Thanks, big guy. And thanks also for re-establishing the public's image of movie and comics geeks as pathetic, basement-dwelling, perpetual virgins who start punching the munchkin at the mere sight of a high-school-aged girl... when they're not updating their MySpace page.

Wow, Harry. This is embarrassingly disgusting. It reminds me of a certain deviant comment you made a while back involving the violation of skulls of young children. That was almost the last straw for me. This does it, Harry! I've been a faithful reader of AICN for the past 6-7 years. But I've got better things to do with my time than be subject unwillingly to this kind of abuse. Somebody let me know when Moriarty gets his own site, okay. So long.
Here's the problem by chrth	Nov 6th, 2006 07:35:15 AM
It's been 10 years. Most of the loyal readership has grown up. Harry hasn't. Maybe it's time to sell the site.

People, get a grip. by FluffyUnbound	Nov 6th, 2006 07:44:42 AM
It's not like every teen comedy since 1975 hasn't in some way presented a high school girl or a cheerleader as a sex object. Was everyone on the set during the shooting of the scene in Fast Times At Ridgemont High where Phoebe Cates gets out of the pool a pervert who belongs on the sex offender registry? Frankly, I imagine that the reason the producers of the show keep Hayden in the cheerleading outfit every day at school isn't for easier character identification, it's to make her a sex object for male viewers. Guys like cheerleaders. Complain all you want.
One of the most disturbing observations I've ever read by zacdilone	Nov 6th, 2006 07:47:36 AM
Not the stuff about the cheerleader, but this: "I hate being chained to a date and time by some corporate programming." As if the network TV schedule is some kind of corporate conspiracy to control our weekly schedule. I have an idea, then...lets have the networks just put their shows on at random times and days every week. The sponsors and the viewers would no doubt love that! Harry's comment reflects the "everything must conform to my personal schedule and desires" attitude that pervades American culture today. I would rather know that every Monday night at 9pm I'm getting together with my friends to watch a really cool show together.
PAY ATTENTION! by tile_mcgillus	Nov 6th, 2006 07:49:36 AM
Harry, if you would have been apying attention you would know that entire blog entry is off base. In the first episode when she jumps 50 feet and lives she is walking back with the boy chilling, boy looks down and sees that her rib is still out of her body. She pushes it back in and heals it. Some one else mentioned the hand/disposal thing earlier. So it seems she chooses to heal it or has an ennate sense to heal life threatening wounds ASAP and can choose to heal non-life threatening wounds. So this whole weird article is probably null and void.......oh and awkward.
Why this is disturbing by chrth	Nov 6th, 2006 07:56:01 AM
1) Why does Harry even have a MySpace page? He's not a celebrity, and he's not a 14-year old girl (that's "Herc") 2) Even Harry supposedly engaged? If Mail-Order Yoko could read English, I don't think she'd be happy with these observations of his. 3) Something like this was funny in high school, maybe underage drinking in college time, but Harry's almost 35 years old. He's crossed the threshold from haha to creepy age-wise.

Harry & kid in shit-filled diaper during "Hulk" by Badger999	Nov 6th, 2006 08:32:34 AM
This is another classic bit from Harry. He lets a kid stew in a stinkpaste-filled diaper rather than miss a couple minutes of Hulk, compares Blade 2 to receiving cunnilingus, starts off his Pick of Destiny review by describing his erection, and now he's just looking for ways to talk dirty to us. It's like he's trying to force us into some kind of weird cybersex orgy with him at the center.

I will say that you idea is flawed, first off cellular growth doesn't stop at the age of 17, secondly your idea is also in that cellular growth is actually cellular division, in which case if i were to follow your idea correctly her cells wouldn't be able to divide as they would just reform back to one cell!! Anyways, not to go off on one but without cell death cancers would form very very quickly, yada yada!! Anyways, i love heroes and hayden is very good looking!

Few points by Wildthrust	Nov 6th, 2006 09:35:49 AM
Most girls who participate in activities which require extensive flexabilities ( like cheerleading, hurdles, acrobatics, etc) tend to tear the hyman early on. So given her age, and her obvious long participation in cheerleading its doubtful her hyman was intact when she got her powers. Even if it was, consider that when she jumped off that platform thing at the beginning, she later found her rips sticking out. The body didn't "pull" them back in, it couldn't, she has to push them back it and move them around till they were back in place. Thus just because her hymen may get torn she might have to actualy position the tissue back in order for it to heal shut. Even if the situation with her hyman is as stated, she likely wouldn't feel much pain each time it's broken (major reason the "first time" is always bad for a woman). I mean she has had to push her ribs back in, gotten her fingers broken and twisted by the disposal, and purned her hands. While she responded with some pain, it was no where what you would expect for the trama. Thus she probably has a beyond normal pain threshold. As for procreation, if when she was on that slab you had put your keys in her, after she healed herself the keys would have still been in her. Most likely the same would happen with a sperm. Plus consider that not all genetic attributes are passed on to progeny, so while her body might heal itself, that doesn't mean her eggs will. Also take into consideration that most self-healing like she does is usually associated with "cellular telekenises". The ability to manipulate objects with the mind on a sub-cellular level. Kinda like having energy based nanites running around you.
That was very disturbing by DigitalDong	Nov 6th, 2006 09:36:38 AM
I mean seriously, as if buying the show from iTunes wasn't dumb enough, the rest of that was making me think that sex predator laws aren't tough enuff. I hardly doubt he's a fan of the show, it sounds more like he's a Hayden Panettiere stalker in training. I love this quote " Hayden Panettiere, born August 21, 1989, now 17 (legal in Texas, which is important, because her character is in Odessa, Texas)" Why is that IMPORTANT? They got some crazy law in texas where 17 year-olds must have sex with obese men? I hardly see the importance in that. Texas is more fucked up then I thought.

I don't know where you got the idea that Claire would be immune to disease, Harry. Sure, it's a reasonable extrapolation given what little we've seen of her ability. Here's another one: maybe her ability makes her immune to bacteria and viruses, but doesn't prevent her from being a carrier? In other words, be careful where you stick your thingie.

The "Sean Bean is Sylar" rumor by Jimmy Jazz	Nov 6th, 2006 10:09:12 AM
has been debunked. By Bean himself, no less. Also, why did you people read Harry's diatribe if you knew exactly what he was going to say? I mean, it's not like the man's not predictable. "Harry talking about The Cheerleader in Heroes". What the hell ELSE would you think it was going to be about? And I find the indignant stance a bit hypocritical since half of you are thinking the exact same thing when you see her in her seemingly endless supply of cheerleader uniforms. I'll cop to a stray impure thought about Hayden P. myself when watching the show, albeit not as......vivid in the imagery as Harry. This show kicks ass. Definitely the best new show this year (although that's not saying much) and up there with BSG and V. Mars in my book. If you don't like it, you suck and have no taste. Period.

I had the same thought about George from Dead Like Me. But I had the decency to keep it to myself.
Hayden Panettiere IS a smokin' hot munchkin!....BUT... by thecomedian	Nov 6th, 2006 10:38:59 AM
That was still kinda creepy, Harry. I mean she's totally hot and I myself have made jokes about masturbating to "Ice Princess" and stuff since this show has been on but what you wrote just felt icky. Probably because we all have the mental image of you thinking about this stuff and going into all those details. No offense, bro. But you just ruined the Hayden fantasy for a whole lot of people. Which is fine. The show needs less teen porn and more Ali Larter from behind shots anyhow.
pervs and age limits by kuguy3000	Nov 6th, 2006 10:51:16 AM
Kind of frightning...that Harry doesn't know or appreciate what real satire is. He mentions (to the point) the age of the character, her location, and the local law stating how she's legal...no offense Harry, but those are three traits of sex offenders. They know who, what, where, and why. They're classic points of interest. Second, we just read through a pointless and irrelevant article about an underage girl (i.e. non-adult) and her sexual history. Why Harry? Because you can? Because your website allows you display this sordid document, with little regard to decency or morals? Oh wait...have the Hollywood elite made a film that defends morals and decency? I'm sure when they do, you'll be a supporter... Lastly, this is quite sick. I've had family members molested and assaulted, and the guy(s) that did that to them exhibited all the traits you just did Harry. I'm not saying your a pedophile or secretly want sex with minors... but don't you DARE hide behind local law justifying this type of behavior. First you regale us with tales of bringing your nephew to rated R movies (which WILL affect him when he grows up in one way or another) and you keep telling us about your sexual desires. Harry, with all due respect... keep this shit up and you'll be reported. You've documented enough evidence to justify that, and do what you will...kick me off or whatnot, it won't stop it from happening. Your readers deserve better, and so do you. Anyone disagree?
There's tasteful humor, then tasteless humor, THEN that by Freakemovie	Nov 6th, 2006 11:03:42 AM
Ethnic jokes? Hilarious. Handicap jokes? I'm there. Dead baby jokes? Bring 'em on. But there is something so so so so so much more disturbing about a 300 pound, 34-year-old man pondering online in front of thousands what it would be like to repeatedly break the hymen of someone who is a real, currently alive, 17-year-old (or rather almost the exact age of my little sister) girl named Hayden Panettiere. It's just plain sick. Imagine if you just stumbled across the exact same article from a blog by some shady-seeming no-name.
disgusted by leesheri	Nov 6th, 2006 11:03:50 AM
As a woman, I am offended. That was uncalled for, disgusting, and I am disappointed. Now, I know why so few women frequent this website. It is not “chick friendly” and from what I see, quite a few men are disgusted too. The size of a man means nothing, but if that man has things like this to say in a public forum… I would be very surprised if he could find a woman to tolerate him… and if he did, I would be suspicious of her motives. Of course, with things like that to say, he probably is not looking for a quality relationship with a quality woman.
pervs 'n more (# 2) by kuguy3000	Nov 6th, 2006 11:08:53 AM
I don't appologize for my previous post. I reread it three times before posting, because I wanted it to be in good taste and realize that in this realm (online posting) people usually disregard anything that remotely resembles morality as a throw-a-way. I do this often, too... But Harry, you crossed the line. You've become so out-of-touch with what's considered decent and consciously wrong. No, I'm not a hyper-conservative or moral-majority dimwit... this is just COMMON SENSE. Sure, talking about underage sex is funny...til it happens to someone you care about. This isn't something that will become "MORE ACCEPTABLE" as time moves on...and if it does, count me dead. This is graphic sex talk about UNDERAGE CHILDREN. Yes, she's 17...yes, she's hot...but she's still an underage MINOR. Whether she's legal or not isn't the problem... THE PROBLEM is that several times, Harry's shown signs of depravity. He constantly talks about subjecting his underage nephew to graphic images. Harry, it doesn't MATTER if he "likes them" or his parents "approve". I'm sure your nehphew would love knocking back some brewskies, and I know several bad parents that don't object to questionable material...it DOESN'T matter. You obviously know little to nothing about child trauma. Read up on it, or you'll do more damage. I'm not calling you a bad guy Harry, but your behavior is unacceptable and has crossed the line. Harry, eventually you will be reported. It won't matter if you've "done" anything wrong by your line of thinking...but you will be reported and you can kiss your career goodbye. Hollywood can stomache druggies, alcholics, or even racists...but the one thing they can't stomache is sexual predators. Please, appologize for this on your MAIN PAGE before it's too late. Appologize now Harry, don't be like John Kerry and hide it. Appologize before you bring down Aintitcoolnews with you. Yes, it will happen. Yes, I'm being serious. Please.
dude, she's not legal in Texas by purplemonkeydw	Nov 6th, 2006 11:11:36 AM

Too bad. by MrD	Nov 6th, 2006 11:13:14 AM
Harry actually raises some interesting points which could make for an intersting character study, if only he and others were able to look at it from a more sexually mature mindset.
You Better Bookmark This TB, Fellas. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 6th, 2006 11:23:01 AM
It's a classic AICN moment. Apparently this site has now resorted to posting Harry's friggin' MySpazz blogs???!!! Exactly how old is he again? This Hayden Panettiere isn't even that hot. So, why should I try watching this show after this "ringing" endorsement?
This reminds me of... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 6th, 2006 11:24:40 AM
... the "Herc/Superman Icon Debacle" from several months ago. Yet, it's not nearly as funny.

That was the dumbest shit I've ever read by Dapper Swindler	Nov 6th, 2006 11:38:34 AM
And this is coming from someone who has never said that before about anything. Seriously, if you are someone watching Heroes and this is what you end up thinking about, you are not mature enough to watch the show/be a part of adult society. You need to do yourself a favor; turn off the television and computer, get your shit together, and get a life. And by "life", I mean one where your thoughts naturally gravitate towards other things than this.
Uh... by stlfilmwire	Nov 6th, 2006 11:46:32 AM
Who said she didn't break it before she got her powers? Think about other ways that it could have happened. I guess this is a power that babies are never born with. I mean, how could they cut the cord or perform a circumcision? Also, I guess the curtains match the carpet. My guess is that should couldn't dye her hair blonde. Wouldn't the hair keep turning back to the original color? Hmm. And I guess hair and nails don't count. But then again, should she have hair or nails? I am ignorant... dunno how the science works, but I would think either one of the three would be true: she couldnt have hair or nails, or she couldn't cut them... or they stopped remain the length they were when she first got her powers. I dunno. I'm stupid that way. And should she be able to shave her legs?

Harry, you are sexually frustrated by Toby___Wong	Nov 6th, 2006 12:05:47 PM
I wouldn't trust you with any children or teenagers. What the hell is wrong with you ? It's bad enough that your reviews are usually loaded with sexual references, but this Heroes review is some of the sickest shit I have ever seen. Get some help, you uber perv.
Yackbacker by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 6th, 2006 12:08:42 PM
I think the Herc/Icon thing was spread out over a couple of TBs during the release of "Superman Returns". You can probably do a Google search and find the different threads. Here is a good starting point (http://tinyurl.com/yhshd4). Scroll through it and tell me if you recognize a familiar name or two...
Even if Harry apologizes for this post... by Abin Sur	Nov 6th, 2006 12:10:26 PM
It will be half-assed at best (ironic considering all the ass that is there). If this was MY daughter you were writing about, I would be waiting for your fat ass in front of Butt-Numb-a-Thon. Now let's see if he tries to blame conservatives for his pervy-ness.
Basically Yackbacker... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 6th, 2006 12:14:26 PM
The Herc icon was temporarily redesigned so that he was dressed in a Superman outfit. It was then placed at the top left corner of the homepage as an animated gif. Folks took offense as they thought it was disrespectful of Chris Reeve.

This subject by BizarroJerry	Nov 6th, 2006 12:16:24 PM
Is the kind of disgusting thing some guys start talking about as a joke, amongst themselves, in private. They call the guy sick, discuss it for a moment, laugh at it and move on. Harry, you just can't post this shit on a well-traveled website for all to see. Bad idea, buddy. You may think of this as a place full of your guy friends, but this isn't a frat house. You're gonna get in trouble for this kinda thing.

Herc, a request by XAOS	Nov 6th, 2006 12:29:21 PM
I understand why you found this relevant to coax, but this is the only part of the site I can stomach, largely because it is Harry-free. If you could find it in your heart to keep his foul, puerile comments restricted to the areas of the site that are not under your supervision, I'd be deeply grateful. Hell, I'd bake you a cake.
Hair and nails by eraser_x	Nov 6th, 2006 12:30:35 PM
I'm not sure, but I think the ends of hair and nails are dead, just like the outermost layer of skin cells. So, cutting hair and nails should not present a problem, but wax hair removal might not last as long as on regular people.
And why did Herc need to post this? by Ricky Henderson	Nov 6th, 2006 12:32:50 PM
Couldn't this diseased rant have been confined to Harry's myspace account? That way no one would ever have read it.
Hilarious. by PwnedByStallone	Nov 6th, 2006 12:40:07 PM
That was pretty funny, Harry. Even though Heroes sucks, it's nice to know you still watch it and endorse it just so you can wank off to seventeen year old girl.
my fiance... by HEADGEEK	Nov 6th, 2006 12:46:04 PM
Can totally read and speak English as well as any of you. She was born and raised in the USA.... mainly in Austin. To add kerosene to the fire. She was also a cheerleader and member of the drill team when she was in High School like a year or two ago.

The only question that needs to be asked by Shivv	Nov 6th, 2006 12:57:36 PM
Is what Harry got in return for endorsing Heroes. Is NBC gonna fly him to the set? Are they going to let him eat Crisco off of Ali Larter's chest? Lets ask the hard questions folks.
"my fiance...Can totally read and speak English by chrth	Nov 6th, 2006 12:57:44 PM
as well as any of you." Well, considering some of the illiterates that plague this board, that's not surprising.

Wow, it's so thick... by DocPazuzu	Nov 6th, 2006 01:24:07 PM
...that you could cut it with a knife -- the cloying miasma of double standards and faux indignation in this TB, I mean. Seriously, you moral defenders really make me laugh. Whether Harry's mental noodlings are disgusting to you or not, you're just using his article as an excuse to launch into half-baked diatribes designed for one purpose and one purpose alone -- to make yourselves seem morally and sexually superior to other talkbackers, which is sad in of itself. If you claimed to have no attraction whatsoever to teenage girls, legal or not, you'd have a much better argument -- although based solely on taste. If, on the other hand, you fully expect your fellow man or woman to believe that you have absolutely NO lascivious thoughts about a smoking hot girl one day before her 18th birthday and then suddenly, magically feeling a natural sexual attraction to her the day she turns 18, then you're either a moron, gay, asexual or an outright liar. In the UK, the legal age is 16 and 16 is also the age when it's legal for chicks to pose nude for magazines. Does this make the majority of British men who ogle a 16-year-old Page 3 girl pedophiles? And if so, by what moral measuring stick? American law or by your own personal morals? If you think Harry's article was revolting, fine. Just don't use it as an excuse to jump onto your high horse and scream about sex crimes in the offing and the heinousness of looking at a girl less than a year shy of her 18th birthday in an impious manner -- because you all sound like tools.

free speech by bobsullivan	Nov 6th, 2006 01:32:14 PM
Great, some idiot (Anchorite) plays the "free speech" card. I'm so tired of this crap. Last I checked the first amendment says that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech". Not "no one is allowed to call those who exercise free speech a sick perv" (Harry) or "The album sales of those who exercise free speech shall be maintained" (Dixie Chicks). I know this will shock a lot of you out there, but people who boycott the products of those whose political speech they don't agree with are (gasp!) exercising their own free speech. Here's mine: If you're 30+ and fantasize about 17 year-olds then you are one sick dude regardless of whether or not you are justified by law. The half your age + 7 rule will keep you away from creepiness (though posting sexual fantasies about anyone online still makes you a perv).
Damned Brit! by Slambo Asscrap	Nov 6th, 2006 01:35:58 PM
Stole my point! I was just going to write a flaming TB about the legal age in Norway being 16 which is... fine indeedy! You Americans and your double morals. I laugh in your general direction! HA HA HA! But y'know, it IS kinda ironic she's a Texan...
The legal age thing by chrth	Nov 6th, 2006 01:42:31 PM
The legal age is 16 in many states. In some states, iirc, it's 14 or 15, however, in those cases the male has to be under 18.

No, YackBacker... by DocPazuzu	Nov 6th, 2006 01:48:20 PM
...you're missing the point. I said that Harry's article's level of disgustitude was beside the point. To be honest, I found it repulsive myself, but I didn't use it as an excuse to accuse guys who view some 17-year-olds as hot of being deviants and potential child rapists. There's a huge difference.
Hey Doc... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 6th, 2006 01:50:11 PM

Of course Harry's a sexual deviant! But would I be one to if I wanted to fuck the cheerleader at the age of 22? I think not! The regenerating hymen theory kinda grosses me out. How can anybody be turned on by that shit?
This may be the best talkback EVER by chrth	Nov 6th, 2006 01:58:23 PM

YackBacker by DocPazuzu	Nov 6th, 2006 02:00:12 PM
I also found it disgusting when Harry compared Battlefield Earth to a minutely described shit he took the same morning he saw it, but that doesn't mean he's a deviant for taking a dump. The gross-out factor comes from sharing the details of bodily functions and somewhat tongue-in-cheek fantasies. I don't want to hear or read that stuff, but I'm not going to pretend like I'm shocked that people think and do things best left to the imagination.
And Yackbacker... by DocPazuzu	Nov 6th, 2006 02:01:19 PM

Hey, Mr. Nice Gaius... by Red Ned Lynch	Nov 6th, 2006 02:42:01 PM
...you should try watching this show because presently it's not terrible and it looks and feels like the kind of show that could legitimately grow up into something pretty good. Not there yet, but it has had its flashes. Now observing your likes and dislikes as fellow BSG defenders on the BSG talkbacks I am far from certain that you'll like it, and I wouldn't even take any big bets on my liking it by the end of the season, but it has, by drips and drabs, become one of the three shows (along with The Wire and BSG) I actually look forward to seeing each week. And although (no offense to the actress, as she is clearly to many folks' tastes) the cheerleader strikes me as half dwarven and with a giant old Elizabeth McGovern pumpkin head, the show does feature Ali Larter, one of the hottest women on the planet. As for the Harry nonsense Herc put here, I think you've got to put it in the context with the naughty nerd discussions you had with some nerd friend at thirteen. Harry's still there. Nothing more or less meaningful than that.
True, Yack, it doesn't matter by Ricky Henderson	Nov 6th, 2006 02:47:21 PM
We live in an overwhelmingly blue state (btw, you appear to share my political convictions). I concur, Spano's gotta go. Anyway I'll be voting partially because I don't have to go to work tomorrow. But more importantly, I just think its a good thing to do. For my self-estemm. You see, I do it to feel good about myself, then I taunt and mock those who don't vote. Its my way of feeling superior to others, and I love it damnit.

You guys are all missing the point. by MattCG	Nov 6th, 2006 03:09:15 PM
I have nothing against banging a hot as fuck 17 year-old cheerleader, I've often thought there isn't enough of that kind of thing going on and would like to see more of it, specifically in my life. What really bothers me is when a morbidly obese man starts talking about his sex life, forcing me to form a mental image in my head. THAT'S ALL. For the record, I'm glad Harry has a good imagination, that's where things like this should stay, IN YOUR HEAD! So, in the future, KEEP THEM IN THERE and feel free not to share. If you were a friend of mine, I would've poured something really hot in your lap and slapped you in the face. I come here to read about movies, not have my goddamn morning bagel ruined by the thought of fat sex of any kind.
Red Ned Lynch by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 6th, 2006 03:10:33 PM
Hey man, always good to hear from a fellow BSGer. Thanks for the comments and insight. I'll try checking it out if I can. However, I can't make any promises. The only nightly TV I can allow myself to watch is Countdown, BSG, LOST, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, and Deadwood (RIP). And between girls, the chores of everyday life, and NetFlix - I've barely got time for those. But then again, you did say Ali Larter...

Given the list of shows you like I feel a little more confident suggesting Heroes to you now...our tastes, for better or worse, seem to coincide on a lot more than BSG. Politics, even, though most of my Countdown comes by way of the MSNBC website. And I'm not sure I'm not watching Lost now just on reflex. By the way, when I mentioned Ali Larter in the post above I almsot said "hot enough to be a Cylon". Is that just too sadly pathetic or a new gold standard for celebrities? Because I'm not sure but I think it might be both.

"I wonder if she likes that." As most girls I've been with don't like cold things in their vaginas. Yoko would not appreciate a Cold Salty Tentacle invading her... and frankly - I wouldn't like it either. And I think people that get turned on by Tentacle Porn just are out of touch with the basic beauty of normal fetishistic ponderings.

Ali Larter "hot enough to be a Cylon"? Oh yeah, I'd say so! Maybe even the Cylon God. * Unfortunately, I've been losing my patience with LOST which is weird since I've been nothing BUT patient with that show. As for Countdown, I think Keith Olbermann has been doing the most important journalistic commentary this country has seen/heard in a LONG time. I find his approach much more appropriate than say The Daily Show et al. * Damn. Now you've got me imagining a naked Ali Larter with a glowing red spine. Thanks!
Yoko by HEADGEEK	Nov 6th, 2006 04:03:35 PM
The fact is - we're both laughing our asses off over this talkback. We both get the irony of it and are completely aware of our age differences, but the fact is we watch HEROES curled up together on my iBook. And after CLAIRE's near rape/death... and her subsequent conversation with her Dad that she has NO PROOF... the thought hit, yeah, even if the Quarterback had raped her, she'd have no proof because if the hymen had been intact before her powers manifested themselves... and the fact that her father apparently has been aware of her powers for far longer than she has.... Maybe even to the point of birth - via genetic tracking or some sort of plot device we haven't seen... WELL... it made me ponder what a terrible existence she would have. For SEX to be constantly about pain and discomfort. To never be able to physiologically adjust to what sex is. Then just the whole concept of could she get pregnant and everything else... well it's what we began to talk about. THAT's why I decided to share the conversation. It wasn't about me fucking CLAIRE - it was about Claire having a healthy sex life given her "superpower". And wouldn't that kinda suck? Personally - I've never fetishized Virgin sex. It sucks. There's discomfort for one partner or another. There's blood. ECK. And is generally not the best sex experience. No?

Most of my girlfriends have been between 4 years younger than me to 3 years older than me. However, I have dated two that were significantly younger and three that were significantly older - ie more than 10 years. I really don't see age as a problem unless you're dealing with a "criminal" difference, in which case you should completely walk away and not allow anything to develop. That said there are beautiful women of all ages. And pros and cons about older and younger women. I'm just happy I found the perfect lady for me.

I try to stay as far from politics as humanly possible here, but yeah, I consider his bit on Habeas Corpus when everyone else was busy fellating McCain for "standing up to the president" a defining moment. Whatever he does from this point forward he'll always have respect from me for what he did right there in defense of American freedom and liberty. And I give him credit for the increasing attention it has gotten from the press since. And sorry, folks on the right, but that's a bad law, and it would be as bad a law under potus Clinton or Biden or Kerry as it is under Bush. And asking for that power not only shows a contempt for the basic American ideals on which this country was built but an abandonment of the core beliefs of what "conservative" meant before this administration. Okay, politics off. Damn, Gaius, I give you naked Ali Larter with a glowing red spine, and you repay me with making me think about this?

Harry, come on, what in the hell possesed you to allow this thought enter your mind. Yes, we all know Hayden is hot, but let's come back to reality. She might be nice to you in some press conference, but dude she would never find you attractive or date you. Don't you do your homework. She hangs with Paris Hilton and that ilk. She's not like Kristen Bell or Aisha Tyler who would actually hang with you. I really think Hayden is one of these actresses who would be nice to fans at signings and seem generally sweet. Then later on go out drinking and tell her friends what a bunch of ugly geeks she had to be around that day. Sorry, but I bet that's the reality. If Hayden read this, I bet she'd be thinking ewww, keep this Harry Knowles guy away from me.

...the blog entry Harry wrote about the cheerleader or the fact that my wife pointed out the exact same thing after we watched the first episode together. She didn't go down the lesbian road, though. That little completely illogical detour was clearly the product of an overenthused and seldom used imagination. Are you still writing for Hustler, Harry? Or was it Penthouse?

Serious Cheerleader "power" question by chrth	Nov 6th, 2006 05:31:48 PM

This is utterly bizaare but here goes by emeraldboy	Nov 6th, 2006 05:37:45 PM

Greekhammer by Red Ned Lynch	Nov 6th, 2006 05:49:33 PM
I actually figured the branch in the head was a case of being unable to heal around a foreign object still remaining inside the body, sort of Richard Matheson's reason you had to stick something in the vampires in Last Man on Earth. As far as the death painting goes there's no certainty that it has anything to do with the head being injured. It could be an upper limit to the extent of trauma her body could survive or it could be something having to do with Sylar's (assuming that's who kills her) plethora of powers. It could even be that she was painted in the moments after her brain was taken (giving Sylar, theoretically, invulnerability and therefore the power to kill everyone in the world, if he wished, with no possible worries) and before it regenerated. That last could even give rise to a scenario where Sylar and the cheerleader were the only survivors on earth and because of the nature of her powers he could indulge his sadistic impulses forever. Which would certainly be something to save her from, even overlookins the ick of having her whole brain pulled out.

is that Sylar will be played by Harry Knowles?
Chrth by Red Ned Lynch	Nov 6th, 2006 06:05:00 PM
My guess would be that the processes of breaking down and rebuilding in her own body are probably seen by her body as natural, nonthreatening processes, but an outside injury (or virus or bacteria, I would guess but don't know) would cause the healing reaction. Of course I'm just guessing this, it is nothing the show has explained. Otherwise you just run into too much "inside baseball" b.s., like whether food, once swallowed, would be digested. Seems simpler the other way.
KaraIsACylon by Red Ned Lynch	Nov 6th, 2006 06:09:01 PM
Hmm...ouch. And for the second time in this talkback, let me say...The circle is now complete.
It's all very recent... by KaraIsACylon	Nov 6th, 2006 06:10:14 PM
At least we get the impression that Claire only found out a few weeks ago. Much like everyone else. So it's possible that she hasn't fully manifested her powers yet. The only one who seems to have had her powers for some time is the Ali Larter character... and she is only now realising them too. (Or am I wrong in thinking her husband has been on the run for a while, long enough for her to borrow money from Lindermann, and to move several times?) We don't know if Claire can build muscle, because she hasn't tried yet. When she does? Then, we'll know.
Re: hymens - I'm guessing this isn't HEROES canon. by DarthCorleone	Nov 6th, 2006 06:10:46 PM
I don't watch the show. Isn't it possible, though, that her hymen broke before her powers manifested? Virginal sex is not always the time at which a woman's hymen breaks. Sometimes it happens before. Or did NBC confirm that her hymen is intact?
Also...fiancee/fiance. by DarthCorleone	Nov 6th, 2006 06:16:37 PM
One "E" is used to refer to a male fiance. Two refer to a female fiancee.
Now HERE's a question! by Red Ned Lynch	Nov 6th, 2006 06:18:36 PM
If you cut Claire exactly in half...would TWO of her grow. That's a storyline for season SIX. Just before the alien invasion and the alternate earth where all the Heroes are evil.
Yackbacker by MrD	Nov 6th, 2006 06:20:44 PM
No, I don't really expect Heroes to explore this, at least on TV. However, it is an interesting topic to consider, just as an intellectual exercise, and who knows how many side projects this series will create (comics, books, etc). As for aging, I can accept aging because there you are often looking at damage not to tissues but to genes. We don't really know the extent of her healing ability, so she may be vulnerable to radiation, free radicals, etc.
Knowlesy, my old son. You sure it would hurt her at all by Talkbacker with no name	Nov 6th, 2006 06:22:07 PM
I mean, she fell face first into the floor from like 100 ft up and didn't seem to hurt one bit. I agree with pretty much all you said but I don't think she feels the pain...I might be wrong but even the branch though the brain didn't seem to hurt either...hmmm interesting conversation either way
Prof. Ikamono by Red Ned Lynch	Nov 6th, 2006 06:22:51 PM
Not sure. I mean, technically she would have still been unconscious even after the branch was removed from her head. It was her healing that allowed her to become conscious again. And there really isn't a muscle issue that was raised by the show...just Chrth, wondering how her power worked.
So is Niki (the She Hulk stripper) going to........ by Jimmy Jazz	Nov 6th, 2006 06:24:38 PM

On Muscles by chrth	Nov 6th, 2006 06:52:57 PM
Muscles are built by the tearing and healing of muscle fibers. The soreness one feels after a workout is the pain of torn muscle fibers. The reason muscles grow is because if you regularly tear the fibers, your body compensates by producing longer, stronger fibers* (secondary effect is to build stronger bones). If she heals immediately, she would never feel any soreness because the fibers would repair immediately. At the same time, though, the body would never find the need to compensate. If she can control her healing, she can hasten the muscle-building process by waiting before healing (so she could work out say daily rather than the 48 hours typically recommended). *This might not be exactly what's happening; something similar though
Harry likes Hero sandwiches? That's not really "news". by Darth Bauer	Nov 6th, 2006 07:14:15 PM

Chrth... by Red Ned Lynch	Nov 6th, 2006 07:23:42 PM
...I still like my notion that the body's natural breaking down and rebuilding are ignored by her power better...but an alternate interpretation of yours would bring up an intriguing possibility...what if each time she used her muscles they did grow back immediately, BUT with the strengthening seen in a normal person? The rapid muscle growth this could cause could enable her to push her body to greater and greater limits, and even though it would ultimately reach a stopping point because of the whole breaking of the supporting bones thing, even the breaks would only be a temporary inconvenience. She could end up super strong and virtually indestructable. But probably not.

I'm not saying that Harry's blog was apropriate or anything. I was kinda grossed out a little. I'm not a fan of virgin sex myself. Too bloody/commitment oriented for me. But seriously. I have heard much worse on this site from the talkbackers themselves. That's right. All you people calling Harry a terrible person is a little hypocritical isn't it? Yes, Harry talks about sex too much. Yes, it is kinda creepy. Yes, he is kind of a sellout by saying every movie is good and we should go see it. But isn't this his site? If you don't like it, or if you are offended, you don't have to come here and read it. I don't know, I'm not trying to demonize anybody. Oh yeah, and why is everybody making fun of Harry being fat? I bet half of the people writing that shit are fat fucks themselves. Anyway, that's my two cents. If you don't like it . . . eat a bag of dicks.

FYI: Re: Sex Education by only1ofme	Nov 6th, 2006 09:09:16 PM
Ok, guys, the hymen isn't a solid barrier. It has, in fact, a small hole that is capable of stretching. Thus, girls who are virgins can use tampons if they really want to, despite popular opinion. If done properly, it's possible for a virgin not to tear her hymen the first time she has sex - especially if she and her partner take it slowly. Thus, even if Claire DOES have a regenerating hymen, she can still have a sex life without unbearable pain and suffering. Or, as pointed out earlier, she could have already stretched it doing sports and activities. Remember, learning is half the battle! P.S. That being said, dude, what's up with guys being interested in women who are literally half their age? I'm in my early twenties and boys in highschool look like babies to me. The idea of even kissing one of those pimply immature babies is just ... ew. Ew.

loved the bit with Micah by Molly_Millionz	Nov 6th, 2006 09:22:24 PM
I really enjoyed that ep, it wasn't perfect but the end with Micah calling Nikki/Jessica by fixing the broken payphone, talking in a more adult voice and being clear that he understands his mom's dual identities? That was fantastic. He'll probably outsmart his mom and his dad in upcoming eps. Oh, does anyone else find it odd that Nikki's alter-ego is Jessica when she reminds me (looks wise) like Jessica Simpson?
"To be continued..." and the end of all 20+ episodes? by My Ass Smells	Nov 6th, 2006 09:23:22 PM
Is this show seriously going to have "To Be Continued" at the end of al 20+ episodes? I guess fans of Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and The Wire are smart enough to figure out they are watching a serialized tv show on their own.

Guys tend to like younger girls, and they also mature much faster, so HS girls are not often as... eww.. as their male counterparts. Women and men also tend to look for different things. Then when you add in what some girls do with makeup, age can be really tough to gauge accurately.
Harry, "The people behind this show are sick." by Immortal_Fish	Nov 6th, 2006 09:27:15 PM
No, Harry. You are. Remember, even including age of consent laws (of which you appear to know little about TX law), a sexless sex scandal still smeared Foley. I don't care about whether or not you were trying to be funny. I presume you were, but I just don't care. That's someone's daughter. A young woman trying to make it in the business. And all you can think about is rupturing her dignity over and over again, repetitively. I don't care that 17 is "close enough." Just because she's "pretty enough" you find that just cause for open season. You're a pig, Harry. And I don't mean that as a pun. TB, Vern, and Mori are the only interests that keep me coming back here.

If a Republican would have said this... by rsswope	Nov 6th, 2006 09:36:20 PM
It still would be funny. But I'd rather have Niki/Jessica than Claire. I've married 2 virgins and had quite a few crazy assed whores. I would choose a crazy assed whore any day of the week. And with Niki/Jessica you could actually have a threesome with only half the talking. And BTW, Claire's dad HRG is Prof. X!
oh and about Harry's talkback by Molly_Millionz	Nov 6th, 2006 09:37:23 PM
... yah, as a female i found it a touch disturbing, but not absurdly offending. One thing though, many women lose their hymen at a young age doing things that are not related to sex. A cheerleader like Claire who probably did gymnastics or was just probably running around cartwheeling about on the lawn could very easily break her hymen doing those types of activities, or falling during a stunt at any given time in her life, like before she got her regenerative powers. I kinda feel like I'm sinking to a level where we've got this great character with cool powers who could probably do alot of good with these powers and instead we're talking about her V-card but I wanted to give a female perspective. She probly lost her hymen a long time ago, not like it really matters. Oh, and this also means to you people having sex with women who are virgins, don't freak out if you don't see blood. It's normal.
Immortal_Fish by MrD	Nov 6th, 2006 09:38:04 PM
Sad to say, you're analogy is off base here. The Foley thing caught the public imagination largely because it was same sex. But even if that were not a factor, the relationship between the Foley and the page was that of mentor-teacher. Foley (and other Congressmen) are expected to act as teachers and advisors to the pages, and a sexual advance was completely out of place. Not only was it unprofessional, but also a betrayal of the trust the parents placed in the congressman. It's no different than a college professor who has sex with a student. Harry, having no relationship with this fictional cheerleader or the actress who plays her, is fairly safe to fantasize about her and speak of those fantasies since she is of legal age. It may disturb some of us, but then it would just as likely disturb us if he were talking about sex with a little old woman too.
Sherm by Immortal_Fish	Nov 6th, 2006 09:41:34 PM
I'd love to agree with you, because I agree this episode was weak. But then, not so bad considering there have only been two weak episodes so far. I find this to be an improvement over last week. 1) Niki/Jessica is the weakest storyline and was front and center last week. BTW, I'm a diehard Hulk fan looking forward to how her character angle plays out. It's a shame there isn't enough meat on the bone with her characters, even compared with the FLying Petrelli Brothers. 2) Consequentially, Jessica's hulking out was disappointing and offered little satisfaction. 3) Last week also had the major plot hole of Mohinder disbelieving Peter even after seeing him "jump" from one place to another in the train. 4) Hell, the very presence of Mohinder and Wynona Eden is poison to the series. 5) No psychic Grunberg. What last week DID have going for it was Claire out of her cheerleader uniform, more humanizing of HRG, and, well, our weekly dose of Hiro. Now compare all that to this week. 1) No Mohinder or Wynona Eden. 2) More psychic Grunberg (and further character development). 3) Introduction of another supporting super to offer a glimpse that there are many more than we've been exposed to. 4) Hiro working in concert with P. Diddy Pryde. I'm a sucker for superheroes combining their powers. 5) Honest to goodness development of Micah, FINALLY. 6) More Claire in casual dress. 7) Nathan coming to terms with his abilities; e.g. "What will I do once I fly somewhere? I don't have a gun or know karate." Good stuff. And IMO, an improvement over last week. In fact, the only weakness is that there was no ball-grabber in the closing frame as we've come to expect. Well, no HRG guy either. I find him interesting because I know he's going to switch sides at the last minute in support of Claire.
Prof.Ikamono by Immortal_Fish	Nov 6th, 2006 09:46:56 PM
Foley never took a stand against homosexuals that I know of. That the sexual predators he did take a stand against were homosexual is secondary. Unless I'm uninformed and mistaken, then I'm all ears. Got links? While Harry is not a "powerful" politician, he is powerful in his own arena and can have a major influence on thought. And I understand about Gerry Studds. Although he's not from my district, I am from MA. Doesn't mean that I found his conduct to be any less appalling than my fellow voters who re-elected him. Several times over.
"just because her hymen may get torn by smackfu	Nov 6th, 2006 09:48:22 PM
she might have to actualy position the tissue back in order for it to heal shut." I'm guessing you didn't stick around for the preview of next weeks episode? I'm not entirely opposed to watching an entire chapter devoted specifically to Claire attempting to re-position her hymen.
MrD by Immortal_Fish	Nov 6th, 2006 09:55:35 PM
I'd agree with you if Harry didn't touch upon the actress's true name, true age, and the legality of the state where her character is based, which were transparent attempts to rationalize and justify his thoughts. As others have written here in the TB, some of the things he committed to type are known tendencies of actual rapists. Having personally worked with women in crisis, I know it when I see it. Now, I'm not claiming that Harry is a lunatic in waiting. What I am saying is that in this day and age, one can't flaunt crap like that freely without fear of consequence. Bear in mind that this is a society that doesn't tolerate parents who bat their abrasive child on the top of the head when they act up.

So now that we can actually discuss the episode... by thecomedian	Nov 6th, 2006 10:03:11 PM
They've done such an awesome job turning Nikki's storyline around. It started off lame but now it's the best plot because you can't really tell where it's going to go. I figured Micah would be some sort of little kid version of Reed Richards but making him a technopath is just as cool. He's Forge only there's an actually supernatural element to his powers and not that "I just invent stuff. That's my mutant power." Bullshit they do with Forge. I thought the whole bit with Claire's brother was shitty writing. What a little douchebag. And the casting on this show overall is just getting more and more awesome. Rena Sofer(The Best Lois Lane we'll never see) as Peter's wife. Fucking perfect.

Re: chrth & muscles by smackfu	Nov 6th, 2006 10:18:04 PM
Actually clair can build muscles, and very effectively (if this shit was real). What happens with muscle growth is this: every time an individual muscle strand is broken, you're now left with 2 smaller, opposing strands, and each one will growback the part that it's missing, doubling the number of strands. So claire's powers will eventually turn her into a Schwartzenegger-sized she-hulk over the years. Also, if she eats, there will be problems. If her cells are never dying, hence no need for raw materials to recreate them, and she keeps metabolizing food, she will probably grow to be an appropriate mate for Harry unless she stops eating, forever.
Micah as Forge is premature by Immortal_Fish	Nov 6th, 2006 10:26:11 PM
If you're eventually proven right, Comedian, I'll happily eat crow. But it's too soon to tell. He could be a telepath, control energy, control machinery, etc. Given what we've seen, it's too soon to tell. BTW, my fanboy Supes casting is Caviezel as Supes (natch) and Kate Beckinsale as Lois. Courtney Cox is too old and Beckinsale has more balls than most guys in Hollowood. Then again, any great Supes movie would have had Lois as the hero, not her husband.
Oh yeah and another thing... by thecomedian	Nov 6th, 2006 10:39:40 PM
"Jessica" is a fuckin' idiot. WTF are bullets going to do on a guy who can phase. They's so gonna have him phasing bullets next week. And Immortal Fish, like I said, Micah is a TRUE technopath. In X-Men they always said Forge was a technopath because he inherently could "read" any for of technology. But nostly it was always alot of "I build stuff bullshit". Probably the thrid worst power of crappy 1980's mutant powers right behind Doug Ramsey and Longshot. Micah is a true technopath in that there's actually something overtly superhuman about his powers. He can "fix stuff" or control technology just because. How can he telepathically fix a phone? Funny thing about Superman is that I wrote a casting couch for AICN Comics 4 years ago and I actually casted Christian Bale as Superman and Liam Neeson as Lex Luthor. Coincidences suck. But my Lois Lane was Amanda Peete. Rena Sofer would be a great TV Lois. I don't think she's necessarily got the chops to play Lois in a movie but I'm sure there's a parallel universe where she was Lois instead of Terri Hatcher.
and apparently my mutant power... by thecomedian	Nov 6th, 2006 10:41:39 PM

Nathan gets the best lines of the night.. by Ironmuskrat	Nov 6th, 2006 10:46:27 PM
When he correctly points out to his brother that their powers really are not all that super. "Am I suppose to fly around and pick cats out of trees?" I thought that Micah was going to end up being super-smart or inventive in someway, but knowing that his mother has two personalities was a little surprising. But the real surprise is the new symbol that showed up this episode, the double hash mark on the psy-cop and one other hero that can't remember at the moment. two different groups perhaps, created by two different organizations?

Immortal_Fish, chrth, and whoever else... by Shermdawg	Nov 7th, 2006 12:23:27 AM
lol, I liked last weeks episode. Frankly, I dig the Nikki character, and I'm not quite sure we've seen her fully "Hulk out" yet. Also, the pacing and Hiro doubting himself were wonderful. This week it was slower, and it's subpar writing and dialogue stuck out like a sore thumb. Of course I hope it's the thumb of Claire, and things quickly heal up. Heroes should be compared to 24, not Lost. the show is at its best when it moves along briskly like it has been (not to mention, the expected closing shocker), but when it attempts some slower paced character development, like Lost (which has had some major problems as of late as well), it falls flat. I'm not claiming the writing was ever all that good outside of Hiro though. That scene where Mohinder gets the clues from the lizard in his dads apartment was beyond retarded. And yes Immortal there are plot holes here and there, although, the Mohinder/Peter train position jump doesn't count. It was shot differently than the ending of the previous episode. Hopefully, they go back and fix that and the two versions of Claire waking up in the morgue for the dvds. I will agree with you though, Mohinder and the pixie girl are crap. You wanna know what else is crap? The whole Sylar storyline. Sure, having bodies found without their brains is nifty, but instead of building up the mystery of the character on the show, rather than the buzz he's garnering online, they just forget about it for a few weeks and then throw so much stuff at ya (like tonight), instead of gradually establishing whats going on, on a regular basis. Now watching this in a marathon might alleviate the problem, but it still won't help the total miscast of Clea DuVall whos in the running with Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder) as castmember with the least personality. I'm not buying her as a fed either. Immortal_Fish, you claim this arc had character development? Really? The revelation that Mr.Sue Thomas F.B.I. was banging Alias boy's wife isn't much in the ways of character development, unless you really wanna see the eventual FORCED pairing of Parkman and his partner. Ugh. I like Grunberg, I like the premise for his character, but so far its bad, and it's not his fault. The sad thing about it is, the "What Women Want" episode was the most interesting bit for him thus far. And then you got the Nuke Boy who was dropped on us worse than the worst "meteor freak" on Smallville. MINOR COMPLAINTS (and one major one)... CLAIRE: Could they make it anymore obvious that they're ripping off Bobby's bro in X2 with Claires? The kid is a dead ringer for fucks sake! And why was the Texas scenes filmed in a orange haze? Also, wouldn't Claires blood remain? Yes, the reverse drip was a cool dramatic effect, but not allowing blood to flow, is lame. No big deal, but kinda lame. HIRO: Not much with our favorite timetraveling samurai, but the carwreck rescue was cool. Oh wait NO IT WASN'T! How in the fuck do two cars collide on a stretch of highway in the desert? Were they playing chicken? Was there some sort of invisible barrier where one couldn't veer off the road? Were they both asleep? And if so, what are the chances of that happening? Once again, I'll overlook that. But..... When Hiro froze time, and then wondered how he was gonna move D.L. and the chick, it cut right to him falling on top of them as the car/cars exploded, then we see them on the side of the road with the driver of the other car. Bad direction/editing on that one. And since it was Hiro's only scene, that is a major gripe. MICAH: That phonecall at the end proved... a.he's a technical genius b.he's also a retard. PETER: Why does Milo Ventimiglia sometimes speak out of the side of his mouth, then in the next scene, he speaks normally? Is it a halfassed attempt to give Pete a tic, or is it real life affliction of Milo's due to some illness or whatnot? STEPHEN SPINELLA: aka Miles Papazian (24) aka Mitch Albom lookalike, is a prick! Or at least always ends up playing one on tv. Hopefully his Washington Post reporter role will be a recurring character, since there's no clearcut prick as of yet.

YackBacker by Shermdawg	Nov 7th, 2006 12:49:10 AM
It's not a huge complaint, hell I shouldn't have even listed it as one, instead I should have labeled it under "Did ya ever notice?". But seriously though, Milo's all piratey in on scene, and fine the next. You usually notice it during closeups, which leads me to believe he's covering up some sort of dental problem. As far as SMALLVILLE goes, when it's good, it's light years more satisfying than HEROES. Of course, those good episodes are usually surrounded by a few shitty ones. But like I've said countless times before, Supes ain't Shakespeare, and I will cut it some slack. And the honest truth about Heroes is, if Hiro didn't exist... you, I, and most of the people here wouldn't have stuck with it.

DL and Hiro meeting on the road was NOT in the comic book. The car in the comic book was from when they picked out the car. When they started their journey a few episodes ago, the comic book ended and they were on their own. And re: "When Hiro froze time, and then wondered how he was gonna move D.L. and the chick, it cut right to him falling on top of them as the car/cars exploded..." Actually, it cut to Ando and Micah falling down, NOT Hiro and DL. I agree, it was a little confusing, but just a time cut so we wouldn't spend 15 minutes as the 98 pound superHiro dragged 300 pounds of DL and car chick across the road.

If I had known such a shit-storm was going to go down, I would have have been keeping a better eye on this TB today. Now, on to business. First, yes it was creepy of Harry to say those things in a public forum. Second, it still made me laugh. This the first wierd ass sex craved post of his that i have been able to get through since the Blade 2 review, and it's the only one i found amusing since then as well. And third, desiring someone of 17 is not really something you should talk about to thousands of strangers, but its also not illegal to think, or even to act on(in my state at least), and it is certainly not pedophilia. Read a fucking book before you start throwing shit like that around. And to the fuckers who keep talking shit about harry and his weight, and yet call him childish, fuck off. Yeah, i don't want to imagine the HeadGeek having sex, but its really hard when you keep bringing it up, and even adding to it, talking about cysts and shit.

I forgot to put it in my last post(too busy fucking around with assholes), but when did a light sprinkling of shitty become something that we, as self-professed geeks, are unable to handle? Half the movies, books, and television that made us the men(or whatever) we are, were, to varying degrees, kinda shitty. The reason sites like this were started, and have flourished, is very simply our abilty to embrace the things other people choose not to bother with. I'm not talking Star Wars, or Dr. Who, media that have great appeal to all sorts of people, but the things that fall through the cracks. Hell, this site was founded on covering Stargate. Yeah, some of the stuff on Heroes is out of Script Writers 101, and some of the acting seems like a school play, but it is fucking entertaing every week. I mean, this is the site that had a screening of fucking Monster Squad, for crying out loud. And I Love that fucker, with all of my socially awkward heart,but its still a dumb-ass movie, and that brings me back to my point. We have all chosen to love stupid things. TV, film, whatever And we do that, in no small part, because they are stupid. Feel the love, damnit. And i apologize for any ramblelyness of this post.

Weakest Episode So Far by ookla the mok	Nov 7th, 2006 08:41:43 AM
Agree with much of Shermdawg's criticism. Did we get some new writer for this one? Too many storyline mistakes and simply awful dialogue. This show can do better. Case in point (maybe discussed above): didn't Matt's character end up in a previous episode about to be shot in the 7-11 after he talked the kid out of robbing the store? What happened next?

Isn't Ali Larter more Harry's age? by veritasses	Nov 7th, 2006 09:29:47 AM
How come no mention of her? Must be the age. And if he hates TV but he's watching the mediocre show Heroes and not the "far better then most movies ever made" BSG then it really must be because he has the hots for the girl half his age. Harry, some things you just want to keep to yourself instead of posting for all the world to see. Although the bigger crime is that you don't watch BSG on it's air date.
A lot of character development. by tile_mcgillus	Nov 7th, 2006 09:35:39 AM
Episode wasn't the best but definately moved the characters in the right direction. This episode was really about the limitations of the powers they have been given. Parkman's magic fantasy land with his wife ended with the major downside of being pyschic, knowing the truth of what people think about you. Nathan Petrelli sunk even further down into sleazyville and exposed why he doesn't appreciate his power. The Radioactive man giving his wife cancer was genius. Micah's reveal is probably the tip of the iceberg with him. He seems to be the only one that knows whats going on. Hiro wishing for superstrength. There were obviously some bad points (already mentioned several times in this TB) but the episode did explain how Sylar will blow up New York. He eats radioactive man's brain and then if he gets Claire's brain he would be able to just go around blowing up cities at his will.

Her name is Yoko, shes from austin texas, used to be a cheerleaader and member of the drill team while in highschool two years ago. I would be careful coming to Ireland because we have rules against this here which were brought in because some paedos were released this summer and were re-arrested and re charged with assault. So if say a two sixteen years olds are in an affair, the new law in Ireland stands that 16 year old young man could be jailed if they have a child and she didnt consent it. The old law was written in 1932 and was deemed to unconstitutional and that is why the padeos were released and recharged under the new law.

My theory by slone13	Nov 7th, 2006 01:36:13 PM
My theory is that Sylar is eating the brains of the people he's killing, and in turn, absorbing their powers. Like Peter, but instead of "borrowing" a power, Sylar keeps it, and keeps adding them up. I believe he will kill the psycho radiation nuclear guy that looks like "Dexter" they introduced last night, gaining his powers, too. (It's WAY too obvious that the bearded Dexter looking psycho radiation nuclear guy is the one who blows up New York.) Then I believe Sylar's going to try to kill the cheerleader and eat her brain. If he did this, he would be unstoppable. i.e. Unable to die AND with nuclear powers. Save the cheerleader (from having her brain eaten and having her power absorbed by Sylar rendering him nigh invulnerable), save the world. Just a theory.
Harry by leesheri	Nov 7th, 2006 01:49:35 PM
Why didnt you express that in the first place. No where in your original post is there anything about pitying the girl. On the internet vocal inflection must be expressed in words or misunderstandings like the one above offend. The way it is stated in detail above is sick fucking shit, excuse my language. And... I apologize for saying your fiance must be niave and or using you for allowing you to say things like that, and being with you... as your newest post seems to make you out as a sweet and sympathetic that changes everything and she is a smart girl with good taste.

Nathan is Sylar by Yogsoggoth	Nov 7th, 2006 02:03:33 PM
At least, that's my guess. The episode where Sylar first appeared, he was in shadows so it is obvious that he is someone we have already met. Like his brother, he can asborb powers but only by eating people's brains. Sylar also flew away and he is from New York.
I Think by baseballfury	Nov 7th, 2006 02:25:46 PM
Sylar doesn't absorb powers, but simply feeds his by eating brains. I think he's a kind of super-psychokinetic. That would allow him to do the things they've shown him doing, and even explains the guy he froze, because if he had enough control over it he could slow down molocules, or even speed them up to set things on fire. Also, maybe he just takes the brains cause he's trying to figure out how he, and the others, are different. I don't know. Just a few thought.

I don't think Nathan can be Sylar by chrth	Nov 7th, 2006 02:46:03 PM
Granted, I've only seen 2 eps, but let me see how I can express this. The show isn't going to be just one story. It's going to be a sequence of stories, just like a comic book. At some point, maybe after Ep 13, maybe the end of the season, it'll no longer say To Be Continued because they'll have finished the current Sylar story. If Nathan is Sylar, then either you end up removing Nathan entirely (if you kill Sylar), or you have to push him to the sidelines until the next time he shows up (kind of like jailing Doc Ock for 15 issues). I don't think you can do that with a core actor of the show.

Why the hell is there no "Dexter" talkback? A show about a serial killer, who uses his damage to exact justice? Seems a AICN match made in heaven. But, noooooooo. Herc thinks it's "silly", so to hell with that. Guess what, Herc? "Buffy", "Angel", and God help me, "Gilmore Girls", are all silly as shit. And I still love them. Show some love for "Dexter", Herc. Please. Even if you don't like it.

re: leesheri by HEADGEEK	Nov 7th, 2006 03:48:57 PM
Well - When I wrote it on my Blog - it was meant to be a curious "WHAT IF" - So much of HEROES is about taking these people's powers seriously in a real world way. Like Nathan Petrelli's question about how his "Flying" could possibly change the world for the better. "What would rescueing cats from trees do to make things better?" EXACTLY. I am sorry if the piece was taken out of context - The conversation that my fiancee and I had about CLAIRE was completely about how sucky it'd be, but how it could be perceived as an "Awesome Fantasy" to those that didn't think it out. Of course - it looks like we'll find out if her character gets saved or not soon enough. She might not be around much longer. WHO KNOWS.

HEADGEEK by glodene	Nov 7th, 2006 04:13:49 PM
The surgery is called LVR - Laser Vaginal Rejuvination. I read an article in a Penthouse mag. a few years ago, regarding the plastic surgeon who pioneered the procedure. A shrine and monument should be erected in his honor.

hahah just kidding. Although I Will say that the aforementioned thoughts about the hot cheerleader never once crossed my mind, and I'm kind of like the biggest hetero skirt chaser I know... so here's my thing: feel anything you want, muse any lustful idea you can dream and heck, even put it on the internet for all I care- but do NOT project your own fantasies onto someone else. The WRITERS are sick? I'm sorry, where in any episode of Heroes did a doctor say to Claire "you'll be a born again virgin for the rest of your life, oh and ps don't worry about STD's, that's safe too." ??? no no no mr. knowles. This fantasy is all yours.
According to the article... by glodene	Nov 7th, 2006 05:52:16 PM
Due to the years of wear and tear caused by childbirth & sexual activity, a lot of excessive skin forms in the vaginal area resulting in "loosey goosey" effect. A laser is used to remove the excess skin, thus tightening the vaginal canal, which gives the tightness she had when she was a young nubile cheerleader, ergo - Rejuvenation. This is from the medical journals of Dr. Gropenfeil.

Just finished the second episode, so am I interpreting this correctly: Hiro went ahead 5 weeks. He finds a comic book of himself, and goes to find the artist dude. The artist dude has been hit by Sylar after "finishing" the next Hiro comic (the last panels we see are what we see Hiro do at the end, right?). Now, the artist dude is in a different place, right? Because he left his other place with his paintings in the episode last night. Am I remembering correctly?
Chrth by funnyhat	Nov 7th, 2006 09:22:44 PM
Hiro sees new york explode, and goes back to 5 weeks earlier. thats episode 2. flash to episode 6. The artist-dude was kidnapped by Cheerleader's dad and his 'syndicate' for reasons unknown. hedoesnt appear at all in episode 7. hit up packetnews.com or torrentspy and you can get the entire season thus far in HD-Xvid in about an hour or 2.

WORST MOTHER FUCKING SHIT EPISODE EVER! by wolvenom	Nov 8th, 2006 04:05:45 PM
That was beyond boring... it was stupid, and i wanted to punch that fucking show in the face. I'm a fan on the fence right now... i've seen every show and I've seen some shit that down right pisses me off (like most other shows on tv today they tend to not show common sense in the storyline, over complicate things, and make up complete crap without giving us reasons, ie bringing a radiation detector with them? HOW THE FUCK DOES AN FBI AGENT KNOW TO BRING A RADIATION DETECTOR WITH HER? WTF IS A PSYCHIC WORKING WITH THE FBI AND NOT THE CIA? among many other bs shit pulled out of thin air) but i've also seen a lot of shit that i like about this show like (anytime they show hiro.. and nathan is rubbing a off a bit on me) BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT A BIG MOTHER FUCKING BUT!!! THIS IS NOT SUPERMAN MOTHER FUCKING RETURNS!!! DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT GIVE KIDS FUCKING SUPER POWERS... IF YOU WANTED THE INCREDIBLES THEN MAKE THE MOTHER FUCKING INCREDIBLES!! IF YOU WANTED THE MOTHER FUCKING SUPER KID SQUAD THEN MAKE THE MOTHER FUCKING SUPER KID SQUAD?? WTF IS NEXT?? A MOTHER FUCKING FLYING DOG? OR A SUPER STRENGTH LIZARD??? STFU WITH THAT MOTHER FUCKING DUMB ASS KID THAT CANT ACT WORTH SHIT!!! I FUCKING HATE YOU NBC!!! YOU'RE RUINING THE ONLY MOTHER FUCKING SHOW I AM SORT OF INTO!!! AND WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO SEE SOME ACTION!?!?! AND SOME TWISTS?!!??! AND ACTUALLY" FUCKING FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON WITH THE PLOT!! SO FAR WE ARE AT POINT A STILL WITH THE FUCKING PLOT!! NO ONE KNOWS WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, AND HOW THE FUCK A BOMB IS GOING TO BLOW UP IN THE CITY YET AND IT'S BEEN HALF A FUCKING SEASON... NO ONE HAS SEEN ANY FUCKING REAL COOL ASS SHOWDOWNS YET AND THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HAS B EEN PURE SHIT FULL OF FUCKING CLICHES!!! IM GETTING REALLY ANGRY!!!

Radiation by Alientoast	Nov 8th, 2006 06:26:24 PM
"HOW THE FUCK DOES AN FBI AGENT KNOW TO BRING A RADIATION DETECTOR WITH HER?"...Well, maybe it has something to do with the autopsy that revealed the charred body was RADIOACTIVE! So since radiation was potentially involved in the murder of the guy, maybe it would be common sense to bring something that can locate radioactive materials? Pay attention next time.
Cheerledaer trumps Radioactive Guy by Aznbuddy	Nov 8th, 2006 06:56:01 PM
My theory is that the Heroes need Claire to go in and talk Ground Zero down as he's going critical mass. Why would he do that? Maybe Sylar is trying to kill him. Maybe he's been possessed. I don't know. All I know is of all the Heroes, Claire is the only one who can survive an all out with Mr. 10th Degree Burns.

or should i say "busting" ...ur all full of it, the people that cry "pervert" and "pedo" were prob the first ones to fondle urself over claire and now ur just embarrased to admit it... 17 is legal in most states anyhow, so if she was 18 u all would be fine with it and fully admit to losing quite a few pints of semen on her, but because shes 17 and someone says they would fuck her, all u hippocrits cry PERVERT.... u all know u been pumpin ur puppies over her, prob the same ones that pump their puppies over ruthie from "7th layer of hell" or whatever its called....some of u prob had sex with a 12yr old when u were 17 and thought it was cool cuz "she had boobs" ....as long as the tail is legal its fuckable, so let harry fantasize... its normal, we all do....and yes we all masturbate, regularly, prob almost every day, or multiple times a day, but im sure alot of u will say u dont have to cuz u "got a girl" or "i get enuf sex, dont have to".....i had reg sex for 4yrs, and i still did... so ur either all very guilty of stroking for claire or all very gay or introverted or VIRGINS

Not to toot my own horn in a thread where I am sure many are getting tooted, but when it comes to noticing Harry's profound sexual creepiness, I had this silly fucker pegged over two years back: http://tinyurl.com/w4y65 I still laugh out loud at the TalkBack quote from that era: "How the hell do you explain to your buddies how you won the DVDs when they come over to watch them? 'Oh, these? I won these by writing about a fat man from the internet having sex with Dana Scully. Wanna read my winning story? Oh I see you're leaving now because I'm fucking pathetic."
Ground Zero: by mbeemer	Nov 9th, 2006 11:46:08 AM
Great name for the character! Sylar needs Claire's power to survive killing Ground Zero, because he will explode when he is punctured or dashed against something hard enough. If not then, certainly when his head is cut open... The explosion may be the result of Sylar "harvesting" from Ground Zero.
Mallrats by cerebulon	Nov 9th, 2006 08:48:27 PM
Harry, you've never reminded me of that guy from Mallrats... until now. I must say I truly loved your musings about superhero sex-life. I believe it was very well thought out and very funny. As for the ongoing storyline... who thinks Mr. Radioactive Man is going to go kablooie and fry the Big Apple? Will Wolverina's healing powers somehow be transfered to him to prevent it? Hmmmm.... Could be.
"the most deviantly awesome fanboy sex object" by falawful-314	Nov 15th, 2006 05:57:57 AM
Christ, thanks a whole lot, Harry. Your juvenile masturbation fantasies are setting back fandom back into our parents' basement, where pedophilia and mysogyny are thinly veiled as "fantasy." (Oh, but there's one girl in a thousand who also thinks it's "cool" so it's okay, right? Now let's all imagine a sixteen-year-old fucking machine ... hey, she's legal in the UK ... who's genetically programmed to go down on me. Ain't It Cool!?!) Harry, please, for the love of God, reboot that filter that all human beings have in their brain from birth that tells you that, gee, maybe you shouldn't post your homemade "barely legal" pornographic dream sequences on a prominent website known to the rest of society as a gateway into the minds of the American geek! And yes, if you take a big-breasted, scantily dressed sex-machine teenager and surround her with "fantasy," it's still just fucking porn that's too pathetic to admit that it's porn because, when you live in your parents' basement, the last thing you want is for Mom and Dad to known you're a fucking pervert. Can we get a moderator for this site who graduated from Junior High, please?
