DSP's TV Thread (with J.E. Magee) [OT]

And that is it. Aaron Sorkin's jumbled mess of a show, Studio 60, is done. What could have been, what could have been. Oh well, Jemagee will always buy the dvd to savor all the walk and talks and witty dialouge he can get.

That stinks. It was definitely uneven, but I enjoyed it much more than most other shows.

I really hope they have a supercool showdown fight between Peter and Sylar at the end of the season.

For the record, Studio 60 wasn't canceled. It still has a few more episodes to air this season, although there is no guarantee they will ever see the light of day. Last nights show had even worse ratings than the week before, which were the lowest so far. So the revamped focus on relationships is yielding less viewers, good job Sorkin. No one cares about these stupid love interests.

Last week I felt it was going into "Lost" territory. Nothing was happening. The Sylar story arc ended with his capture. So now what? Repeat that? Hiro and his dad? The Hiro-Ando retrieving a bag thing seemed weak. Matt's domestic problems? Claire looking for her parents? Is this "Desperate Housewives?" I was starting to feel like the whole Bennet/Lindeman thing was being dragged out.

This week was redemptive. Ted's back. Some action with Peter and Bennet. The surprise at Bennet's home. Don't make Ted angry.

Anyone know how many episodes it will run? They've already had 16.

Sylar was captured last week but still had his melty man powers from the corpse in the kitchen whose dna sample he took.

the problem right now i have with heroes is nicki and computer kid and the dude from buffy the vampire slayer...they've got to bring that more 'together' with everyone else i think, or eliminate the story line, i think there are a few too many story lines existing separately on this show.

Looking forward to drive soon

4-realz. If they are just gonna show lost repeats at 9 why not show an original lost at 9 then something else at 10. I don't like the 10:00 start. it sucks like a bissle.
man I drew all these penises for nothing - housh

Computer Kids father played Rileys partner and got turned into half human leopard demony boy when Adam tried to destroy humanity...plus he was in Drumline too...he was the 'hardened veteran' who nick cannon softened with his skillz.

The nine got cancelled cause it's ratings sucked, daybreak was limited series material (but it got cancelled anyway before they finished it, but all espidoes are available online)

Sylar was not captured. He's pretending to be Zane, the guy he killed who had the melty power. As Zane, he begged Mohinder to take him with him on his hunt for more people with powers. Mo agreed thinking that "Zane" could help him since the guy has something in common with the other "mutants". Besides killing everyone they meet in order to take their power, we don't know his ultimate plan.

Sarcasm gets me nowhere...

I'd like a little explanation about sylar...obviously it's the clock thing, but how did he steal the 'first' power...does he have two, is there a second mutation point? He could move things with his mind but he can also 'tell' how peoples powers work, is he just a cross between rogue and phoenix?

Sylar's only natural power is the ability to learn how things work (like clocks and brains). With that ability, he can "steal" other powers by killing people and reading their brains (I guess that's why he always slices their heads open).

The first power he got was the telekinesis (moving things with his mind) and he's accumulated more along the way (persuasion from Eden, liquification from Zane, super hearing from the mechanic, etc...). We don't know all the powers that he has now.

We do know that Hiro saw the artist's body frozen with his head sliced open in the future right before the bomb went off.

Sylar can freeze people and has Charlie's super memory. Eden killed herself before Sylar could get her power. Sylar has some invulverability to survive the fall in Odessa and Bennet's bullets. He has moved fast. Super speed? time-bending? teleportation? invisibility? According to the FBI agent, he's killed more than once.

I think we'll learn Bennet is no villain and Lindeman might not be either. The Haitan talked about needing Claire for what was coming. Bennet is tagging heroes for some reason. A future battle? He's been doing it a while too, since they've encountered Claude some time before. Hiro does get the sword (and unaccented English). Peter does get a scar.

"We'll learn" that Bennet isn't a villian? I htink we've 'learned' that already....linderman and he probably will end up working for the government and as they are wont to do in movies and tv (and real life) the government will be over reacting and handling it poorly.

Probably black ops, no one knows about it kind of funding.
