"This is usually the part when people start screaming." - Sylar

I'm sorry to announce that all connections with this blog to the television show LOST has been discontinued until further notice. I have also been informed that I must cease with all current and future Intel on the show or face further actions by a currently unknown entity that may or may not have connections to the show as well as it's producers and possibly ABC and/or it's affiliates as well. As further developments continue to unfold I will be sure to keep this blog informed. Until then all I can say is I must move on to another endeavor.



I have decided that the new endeavor will involve a television show that some people have emailed me about and questioned why I have not addressed previously. Circumstances have now led to me being able to discuss this show seeing as how I have a little bit of down time with my usual subject. The show I am talking about is HEROES which is almost if not as good as the show I usually blog about. HEROES was created by Tim Kring who is an old film school buddy of J.J. Abrahms. Oh, hope I'm allowed to say that. The two have stated that if they could, they would love to cross their two series over to one another. Seeing as how HEROES is on NBC and the other is not, makes it nearly impossible but a great idea nonetheless.



For those of you that do not know much about the show, the seedy looking guy pictured above is Gabirel or better known as "Sylar". As one of the main characters as well as the shows leading bad guy, it would only figure that he is also one of my favorite characters on the show. Look for him playing a young Spock in the new Star Trek movie that J.J. Abrahms is currently working on. Jeez, I guess I'm allowed to mention that too, one can never be too certain these days. In the shows storyline most of the characters have some sort of superhuman ability. Sylar, the main antagonist, and a serial killer, uses his ability to kill others with abilities and is then able to consume their power. It is vaguely alluded to that the way he does this is to eat their brains but it was recently changed to that he uses his adaptability to analyze a brains function that gives the power and then adapts his own brain to create the power. The act of taking off the top of the head in the process of analyzing the brain is usually what kills his victims. He also usually gets most of the shows really good quotes.



This man is Noah Bennet. Unlike most of the characters, he does not have any powers. At first glance, Noah Bennet appears to be an ordinary businessman who works at the Primatech Paper Company and lives in Odessa, Texas, with his wife and two children. However, he and his associates have actually traveled the world for a number of years investigating superhuman phenomena. Bennet claims that he assists them in learning to use their powers, although there are sometimes unintended consequences, such as losing his perfect vision. The loss of his perfect vision is what gives the character his nickname in the show "HRG" or horn rimmed glasses. This is the name he was given before we discovered his name. His true agenda and overall affiliation are still mysterious. In response to Matt Parkman's inquiries as to whether he works for the FBI or the CIA, Bennet said he doesn't work for "any organization that has initials." Matt Parkman is a New York City police officer and is a telepath. Parkman is played by actor Greg Grunberg, hmmm, can you think of what part he might have played before he took this role? Yes, he was the pilot of Oceaninc 815. Do I have to add a disclaimer for that too?

Bennet is played by actor Jack Coleman, who I have been a big fan of for years. From his early days as Steve Carrington on Dynasty (where he played one of the first gay characters on television in) in 1982. To his short stint on a show called Nightmare Cafe in 1992 and his role in Steven King's Kingdom Hospital series which aired in 2004. He is also the great-great-great-great nephew of Benjamin Franklin.





Noah Bennet's daughter Claire, played by jail bait turned hotty actress Hayden Panettiere, is a cheerleader with the power of rapid cellular regeneration. In lay mans terms that means she can heal real fast. Claire is not Bennet's biological daughter. Bennet adopted Claire as a baby after he thought her mother had died in a fire that she caused with her pyrokinesis ability. Sylar recently acquired Claire's healing abilities but in the process did not kill her. When Claire asked him why he didn't kill her he answers her "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't kill you Clare. You can't die. And now apparently I can't either.". So not only did he not kill her it seems he didn't want to alluding to the fact that possibly Sylar may not be as bad as once thought. After all it was the first season that the series used the catch phrase "Save the cheerleader. Save the world." Which they did, but the world still needs saving.





And so might this blog.
