Jane Boursaw:  Hey, Heroes fans! Jump on in! We’ll be chatting live right here as the show airs.
9:03
Jane Boursaw:  Ok, so we were wondering last week about Niki, and Dr. Zimmerman just told her he manipulated her DNA when she was born. Of course, she’s ticked and wants answers. Â
9:04
Jane Boursaw:  I’m kind of tired of this Matt-in-Africa storyline already.
9:06
Jane Boursaw:  And I’m not totally on-board the time-jumping thing. So now Peter’s in the future, and…everyone seems to have some sort of power.
9:08
Jane Boursaw:  And the formula…future Peter is telling present-day Peter that someone is creating a formula that gives people abilities – and must be stopped.
9:09
Jane Boursaw:  And apparently, Claire spent the past four years in weapons training.
9:12
Jane Boursaw:  Hiro and Ando definitely have a bromance thing going.
9:16
Jane Boursaw:  Suresh has taken the formula, and it’s not all good.
9:17
Jane Boursaw:  What’s the scoop here…Suresh has definitely gone over to the dark side.
9:19
[Comment From Bob Sassone]
I thnk he’s turning into a bug, heh.
9:19
Jane Boursaw:  Hey Bob!
9:19
Bob Sassone:  Howdy
9:20
[Comment From Jeremy]
That’s so weird seeing Sylar as a good guy.
9:20
Jane Boursaw:  Hey Jeremy. Yeah, it’s definitely a world gone mad. Sylar’s Ward Cleaver and Suresh is a bad bug.
9:21
Jane Boursaw:  I’m having flashbacks to reading Franz Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” in the 9th grade.
9:21
[Comment From Kona Gallagher]
I missed last week’s episode, but I was still already over the whole Matt in Africa thing.
9:22
Jane Boursaw:  Hey Kona – Yeah, same here.
9:22
Kona Gallagher:  Unless he runs into Jack Baur, that is.
9:22
Jane Boursaw:  It could happen.
9:23
Jane Boursaw:  Hmmm…so the kid is Sylar’s? And I wonder who the mom is…
9:23
Bob Sassone:  The kid’s name is Noah??
9:24
Jane Boursaw:  Oh – I missed that!
9:24
Kona Gallagher:  awesome. I hope Claire’s the mom.
9:24
Jane Boursaw:  Oh those squabbling brothers. Why does Peter want Sylar’s ability again?
9:26
Jane Boursaw:  And who’s baby is that?!
9:27
Bob Sassone:  looks like theirs, or at least hers
9:28
Bob Sassone:  funny line by Claire
9:28
Jane Boursaw:  “I just killed my uncle, and now I have to do it again…”
9:30
Jane Boursaw:  The new Claire scares me.
9:30
[Comment From tyson]
how did they all get there so fast? did daphne carry them?
9:31
Jane Boursaw:  Hey Tyson – Good question! I’ll add it to my list of about 53 questions I have so far. :-)
9:31
[Comment From Bob Degon]
I can’t believe they’re dipping into the “possible future” episode well again.
9:32
tyson:  wow
9:32
Bob Sassone:  The End!
9:32
Kona Gallagher:  Oh, snap
9:32
Jane Boursaw:  LOL, Bob S.! Ok, what the heck just happened?!
9:33
Bob Degon:  I believe the technical term is kablooey
9:33
Jeremy:  I wonder if Gabriel studies his victims like Sylar, if he does kill people in the future?
9:33
Bob Sassone:  maybe it’s like the first season, where Peter was the weapon that was going to destroy the world
9:33
Bob Sassone:  Syler/Gabriel is the weapon in the future?
9:34
Jane Boursaw:  Hmmm…
9:34
Bob Sassone:  of course, I really don’t know, heh
9:35
Bob Degon:  I’m wondering if the writers know at this point, Bob…
9:35
Jane Boursaw:  Yeah, it seems like they’re making it up as they go along.
9:35
Bob Sassone:  They need Adam again, or at least his powers
9:35
[Comment From cj]
I don’t really like the direction this whole show has gone…
9:36
Bob Degon:  I know people have been buzzing about how the whole first season was “save the cheerleader, save the world,” and then in the first ep this season… oops, Sylar steals her power.
9:36
cj:  this season is supposed to be about Villains, right?
9:36
Jane Boursaw:  CJ – Yeah, I think that’s the plan.
9:37
Jane Boursaw:  I can’t keep track of them all, though. And who’s good and who’s not.
9:37
Kona Gallagher:  “you always sucked at tug of war”
9:37
cj:  So, is the flash forwards and present supposed to be a question of “who” are the villains?
9:37
Jane Boursaw:  The Hiro/Ando bromance.
9:37
Kona Gallagher:  How often have these guys played tug of war, that they can make a statement like that>
9:37
Jane Boursaw:  CJ – That’s what I’m thinking.
9:38
Bob Degon:  More ambiguously gay couple – Hiro/Ando or Sam/Frodo from Lord of the Rings?
9:38
Jane Boursaw:  At this point, it’s a toss-up.
9:38
Bob Sassone:  she has to learn how to control that power, though it’s probably great to cool drinks in the summer
9:38
Jane Boursaw:  It could come in handy.
9:39
Bob Degon:  Plus, if she reads X-men, she’s got that whole ice surfing through the air thing…
9:39
Jeremy:  I was hoping to learn more about his experiments before she froze him
9:39
Jane Boursaw:  Jeremy – Don’t worry. He’ll probably come back in a flash-backwards or something.
9:39
cj:  she didn’t kill him though. I thought she froze his arm and then let go.
9:40
Bob Sassone:  yeah, he didn’t freeze, just his arms for a second
9:40
Bob Degon:  I think Nathan’s conversion to religion may be even less convincing that Cy Tolliver’s in season 3 of Deadwood
9:40
cj:  I did like seeing the “fast chick” who’s name I can’t remember and Matt ending up together with a baby.
9:41
Jane Boursaw:  Aw…Peter Pan…
9:41
Bob Degon:  I’m all for the chubby guy getting some. :)
9:41
cj:  Matt is so cute!
9:41
Bob Sassone:  my prediction: David Anders was in the credits, so I bet that Hiro and Ando go dig him up and try to convince him to help
9:42
cj:  Oh…that would be good.
9:42
Bob Degon:  Bob, you’re probably right… but that is Mohinder-level stupid. Don’t do it, Hiro!
9:43
Bob Sassone:  hey, that’s Jeffrey Donovan from Burn Notice in that Clint Eastwood flick
9:43
cj:  I want to see it ’cause of him…not AJ
9:43
Bob Degon:  Bit of a step up from basic cable…
9:43
Bob Sassone:  “Mohinder-level stupid”…that’s going to be my new go-to line when someone does something dumb
9:44
Kona Gallagher:  heh
9:45
Kona Gallagher:  W
9:45
cj:  I am having issues with Continuity on this show…didn’t Claire want to kill Peter in the future b/c Nathan told the world about “heroes”? Nathan was shot and didn’t tell…but she is still wanting to kill Peter. Why?
9:45
Kona Gallagher:  Why won’t they just let her die? I’ve been nothing but bored with every storyline she’s had
9:46
Bob Degon:  ditto Nathan, Kona.
9:46
Bob Sassone:  funny how she’s the least liked character, and now there’s three of them!
9:46
Jane Boursaw:  Seriously
9:46
Kona Gallagher:  I know!
9:46
Kona Gallagher:  I agree with you about Nathan’s storylines, but I really like Adrain Pasdar
9:47
cj:  WTF?? President and First Lady??? Saw that coming, but hoped not.
9:47
Kona Gallagher:  Adrian
9:47
Jane Boursaw:  CJ – I’m with you on the continuity. I need a storyboard or something to follow it.
9:48
Kona Gallagher:  I really feel like Heroes is getting too complicated for its own good–kind of like Alias in its later seasons
9:48
cj:  And Lost
9:48
[Comment From Guest]
So, you’re no loner lonely
9:48
Kona Gallagher:  Yeah, but I think Lost really redeemed itself last season
9:48
cj:  true
9:49
Kona Gallagher:  Before that I was about done with it
9:49
Bob Degon:  Lost is complicated, but it is detailed and well though out
9:49
Jane Boursaw:  I was late to the Lost game, but got hooked last season.
9:49
Bob Degon:  but don’t get me started… I <3 it something fierce…
9:49
cj:  That’s why I’m glad I stuck with Lost.
9:49
Bob Sassone:  Pete should teleport out of their quickly
9:49
Bob Sassone:  um, there
9:50
cj:  How was future Peter killed? I thought he could heal like Claire and Past Peter
9:50
Bob Degon:  The Haitian was right there when he got shot…
9:50
Jane Boursaw:  Oh no, not the brain thing again.
9:51
Jane Boursaw:  Geesh, back in the present day.
9:51
cj:  oh, that’s right. I forgot he was there. but, wouldn’t he heal later?
9:51
Bob Degon:  I so love the way Sylar says “the hunger”
9:52
Jane Boursaw:  Like an evil Christian Bale Batman…
9:53
So far, this season, Heroes is:
fun

( 14% )

confusing

( 29% )

irritating

( 29% )

excellent

( 0% )

all of the above

( 29% )
9:55
Bob Sassone:  I’m sure the people of Costa Verde love this ep
9:55
tyson:  awesome
9:56
Jane Boursaw:  I’m not crazy about them bringing the speedy chick in and then suddenly, she’s ending up with Matt and a baby in the future. I don’t know her well enough for that.
9:56
Kona Gallagher:  I agree
9:56
Bob Degon:  At least we know she found a comb in the future…
9:56
cj:  that future is no longer gonna happen though. peter went back with Sylar’s abilities.
9:56
Bob Sassone:  Matt looks like Emeril Lagasse in that painting
9:57
Bob Degon:  Totem? Could this Matt-in-Africa subplot be any more stereotypical and cliche?
9:58
Bob Degon:  Lay down the truth, Angela!
9:58
Kona Gallagher:  Heh. I love Mrs. Petrelli
9:58
Bob Degon:  She has been the highlight of the season
9:58
tyson:  you got it right
9:58
cj:  you called it.
9:59
Bob Sassone:  ha
9:59
tyson:  itch
9:59
cj:  it had to suck being locked in a box for that long.
9:59
Bob Degon:  Mr. Petrelli…
10:00
Bob Sassone:  Robert Forster…that’s going to be great
10:00
Jane Boursaw:  Well, man… any overall thoughts on this episode? I need a Heroes 101 course or something.
10:00
cj:  I agree. So confusing.
10:01
Bob Degon:  I think they’re just trying too hard this season
10:01
cj:  Will there be a chat every week?
10:01
Bob Sassone:  I’m really loving this season…lots to follow but you have to go along for the ride and enjoy it
10:01
Bob Degon:  I think you’re right Bob… Too much thought is a bad thing when it comes to Heroes.
10:01
Bob Sassone:  Anyone watching Life? That frozen guy looks like the guy Tracy froze on Heroes, heh
10:01
Jane Boursaw:  Maybe I’ll write up a post this week with some go-by info – who’s who and what’s happening and why. Or maybe not. :-)
10:02
Jane Boursaw:  Heh, maybe they’re doing some crossover with Life.
10:02
cj:  It is like trying to figure out all the timelines and cause/effect in the Terminator movie series.
10:02
Bob Degon:  Time travel leads to paradox… which leads to headaches
10:02
Jane Boursaw:  Yeah, and the Terminator TV series isn’t looking too good to continue.
10:03
Bob Degon:  Boo! The Sarah Connor Chronicles is so good.
10:03
tyson:  i agree
10:03
Jane Boursaw:  I like Sarah Connor Chronicles, too.
10:03
cj:  I know..i stopped watching it last season b/c I thought it would be cancelled. I watched over the summer and now watch later in the week…now maybe cancelled? I do like it.
10:03
tyson:  im still mad about jouneyman
10:05
Jane Boursaw:  Oh yeah, I loved Journeyman. And that was a time-travel show I could follow. It was basic and simple and focused on the characters, rather than a complex storyline. But still enough to keep me interested.
10:05
Jane Boursaw:  It’s hard to get invested in a show these days, because they yank them off so fast.
10:05
cj:  I liked that show too. And there weren’t “butterflies” to worry about.
10:07
tyson:  yeah. its almost better to jump on a show late. after its already had some success. then you can just get the dvds, and get caught up, and then start watching live.
10:07
Jane Boursaw:  Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing – just watching things later on DVD. I went through about 5 shows this summer – it was great.
10:07
tyson:  is anyone watching life? this is two weeks in a row they’ve had guest stars from the riches.
10:08
cj:  no. i thought it was going to be canceled last year so I never watched.
10:09
tyson:  thats how i got into battlestar galactica. but the bad thing about dvd’s is sometimes you get through a show too quickly.
10:09
Jane Boursaw:  Love Life. I didn’t watch all of the first season (I hear ya, CJ!) – will get caught up on DVD, though. I covered Friday’s ep, and it was fantastic. Â
10:09
Jane Boursaw:  Tyson – I know! I buzzed through Entourage and Weeds and Mad Men. Now waiting for the next DVDs to come out.
10:09
Jane Boursaw:  I haven’t gotten into BSG yet, but have season one here.
10:09
tyson:  instead of enjoying it for years. all you get is a month or so. then youre sad. thats how i went through arrested development.
10:10
cj:  I watched the first 3 season of BSG within about 1 1/2 weeks. I watched way too much each day!
10:10
tyson:  its sooo good
10:10
Jane Boursaw:  Ha! We’re half-way through Arrested Development.
10:10
Jane Boursaw:  I propped my eyes open every night to watch The Sopranoes a few years back. I was so addicted.
10:10
tyson:  you’ll be sad when you’re done with AD. at least BSG has a few episodes left.
10:11
cj:  If BSG ever comes back…what is it now? April? Except for the movie this winter.
10:11
Jane Boursaw:  So true. I haven’t gotten into Firefly yet either, because I know it’s such a short run.
10:11
cj:  Firefly is good too.
10:12
cj:  My favorite series on DVD was probably Wonderfalls.
10:12
Jane Boursaw:  My son and I were thinking about watching all of 24 again before January. Like we’ve got all the time in the world. We decided if we just stayed up for 6 days straight…
10:12
cj:  lol
10:12
Jane Boursaw:  I’ve heard Wonderfalls is great.
10:12
tyson:  i need to get 24. i only saw a couple episodes from a couple seasons ago.
10:12
Jane Boursaw:  Oh! And Six Feet Under. I wept through most of that, though. Such a great show.
10:13
cj:  It is cute. It wasn’t even a full season, but it does have an ending.
10:13
Jane Boursaw:  Tyson – You’ve gotta just start at the beginning and go straight through. It’s definitely worth it.
10:13
tyson:  i will. there are a few shows i need to get going on.
10:13
Jane Boursaw:  At least if they have an ending, it’s not so bad…
10:14
Jane Boursaw:  So many shows, so little time…
10:14
cj:  I watched the first 2 or 3 seasons of 24 and keep thinking about getting caught up.
10:14
Jane Boursaw:  We ended up watching…I think it was season 4 on DVD and season 5 on TV at the same time. I don’t recommend it.
10:14
Jane Boursaw:  Talk about screwing with your brain.
10:15
tyson:  alright guys. i’m out of here. thanks for the suggestions.
10:15
cj:  That would be hard.
10:15
cj:  Will there be a chat every week for Heroes?
10:16
Jane Boursaw:  Thanks, Tyson! And thanks to everyone for stopping by! Yes! Let’s do it again next week! It’s great having people to bounce ideas and questions off of as the show is airing.
10:16
cj:  See ya next week!
10:16
Jane Boursaw:  Awesome! Thanks, All.
10:17
Jane Boursaw:  Anything else before I close out the chat…? I appreciate all of you being here.
10:18
Jane Boursaw:  Closing chat…
10:18
