Especially the fact they're drawing out EVERY LITTLE THING rather than just making it as fast-paced as season 1. I'm tired of Hiro in Japan. He was so funny in season 1, and he's so NOT funny now.<BR/><BR/>Just for the record, Canadians pronounce it "Mun-tre-al." :) The same way we say Mum instead of Mawm. So it's strange to hear Americans pronounce it differently, when usually you only hear Canadians saying it.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous: Good point about the twins!! If they're so inseparable, why didn't Alejandro learn English?!<BR/><BR/>Crissy: See, it's that sort of stuff that bugs me... when the finale sucks, Kring says it's because we didn't get it. When we complain about the slow pace of season 2, he says we're not smart enough to watch it. It's a really annoying way to treat the fans.<BR/><BR/>Hipster: When I was talking to Crissy about the green screen, she said the same thing about Russia, and I actually had to go and check out last week's episode to see it (I'm often feeding my son while watching TV, and tend to listen rather than watch the screen constantly). THAT was HILARIOUS. They were totally walking on a treadmill in front of a moving backdrop. Awful. <BR/><BR/>Jeff: I heard about Origins getting canned for now because of the writer's strike, but I'm not sure I believe that's the real reason. I wonder if NBC has shelved it because ratings have been poor on Heroes.

This show has a decent budget, they can afford to do decent green screens. I can do better than that.<BR/>In all, definitely slightly better than last week, so we're getting there. HRG went total Jack Bauer this week as well. And Sylar is, hands down, the best part of the show. Whats going to happen when he leaves to go shoot Star Trek?<BR/>Also, Heroes: Origins got canned due to the writers strike.

Just because we're supposed to sympathize with the Hondurans in that scene doesn't mean you have to portray the Texans as retards with guns. Wanting to keep illegal immigrants out seems like a legitimite concern, especially when two of them (Sylar and Maya) happen to be responsible for many, many deaths.James Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499378860087609904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-35732107033605441272007-11-01T00:14:00.000-04:002007-11-01T00:14:00.000-04:00The Irish girl thought Montreal because Peter had ...The Irish girl thought Montreal because Peter had the plane ticket to Montreal.Brian Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850766773943226299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-36060454282996328802007-10-31T23:27:00.000-04:002007-10-31T23:27:00.000-04:00in a season that's nowhere near as good as the fir...<I>in a season that's nowhere near as good as the first, Zachary Quinto's Sylar stands out above everyone else on the show.

He forgot it wasn't on FOX.<BR/><BR/>Why would an Irish girl, seeing a painting with street signs in French, assume it depicted Montreal and not, oh - France? <BR/><BR/>My Monday nights consist of going - "Yay! Chuck!" then 'oh, I guess I'd better watch Heroes' then "Ooooh, Intelligence timeshift!"<BR/><BR/>Intelligence is a fantastic show with dark motivations and a great cast.

Though there were some decent scenes in this one (Finally), a few things bothered me like HRG killing his old friend or Mohinder saying he's taking Molly out of the company's care and the next scene she still there. I am also sorta over the Hiro story...they need to bring him back into the action. And is it me or do the new paitings seem sorta dull and not terrifying like last year. It seems as though there wasn't a lot of direction in the plot so they basically have new paintings now. <BR/><BR/>If they start calling the shot something similar to the word "Promicin" I will stop watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-10321425927865726092007-10-31T14:40:00.000-04:002007-10-31T14:40:00.000-04:00does it amaze anyone that one of the twins knows e...does it amaze anyone that one of the twins knows english and the other one cannot understand a word of it? especially when they seem so damn close!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-81339667457359802742007-10-31T14:32:00.000-04:002007-10-31T14:32:00.000-04:00Hmmm, that didn't come out right.
