Round Table News (Page 2)

Welcome to our third Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and story line, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.

Topics in this edition include: Hiro's decision-making; a Heroes couples watch; and the future for Sylar. Let's get to the Q&A…

Is Hiro messing with history? Should he have returned to modern times?
A. Hiro: No. But he's messing with the ghost of Charlie. She's starring on Pushing Daisies now, learning how to come back from the dead, and we all know why: the decreased waitress has a bone to pick with her former, cheating lover.

Milover: I haven't seen somebody mess with history like this since Marty McFly tried to use that 2015 sports almanac to bet on past games in Back to the Future: Part II. Although the adventures of Hiro are 20 times more fun to watch than that dreck. Way to ruin a great movie with a bad sequel.

Timex: I'm a firm believer that history is going according to plan. I believe Takezo became the Hero he was because of Hiro going back in time and making history what it is today. And if Back to the Future taught us anything, it's that we would know if Hiro messed with the space time continuum already.

More of a future: Claire and West? Or Peter and Caitlin?
Milover: Claire and West. Did you see that smile on her face when she was whisked away? I must admit, that was a cool scene... and that I was jealous. How cool would it be to cradle Hayden Panettiere in your arms? I mean fly?

Timex: Gross and gross. I'm sorry, Claire is much too good looking for West. She needs a man like me. And as far as Peter and Caitlin? I'm pretty sure Peter can do much better. But if I had to choose one to have more of a future, let's go with Claire/West. Peter will return to New York and, let's face it, long distance never works. Even if you can bend the space/time continuum.

A. Hiro: Claire and West. From what we know of Peter's taste in women (and by that, I mean Milo Ventimiglia's taste in women), Caitlin is way too old for him.

Who should move in with Mohinder and Parkman: Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson or Tom Selleck?
Timex: Wow, that is rough. We clearly need our third man, so I'm going to have to go with Steve Guttenberg. Clearly, we need some comic relief on Heroes.

A. Hiro: Ted Danson. Kensei and Nathan need a friendly bartender to listen to their horror stories as they get liquored up.

Milover: Tom Selleck. He's already under contract at NBC, having taken over for James Caan on the perennially mediocre Las Vegas. Let's hear it for cross-marketing!

Will Sylar ever regain his powers?
A. Hiro: Yes. And he'll use them to defeat The Others, sleep with Kate and argue with John Locke over faith versus science.

Milover: He's got to. Last season, Sylar became one of the great TV and science-fiction villains in recent memory, and the show has clearly missed that element in the beginning of Season 2. There's so much going on, and far too little of Sylar involved in it.

Timex: I sure hope so. We need ourselves a bad guy besides this so called "company."

Welcome to our second Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and story line, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.

Topics in this edition include: Peter's bare, wet chest; the absence of Niki and Micah; and our feelings on Kensei versus Ando. Let's get to the Q&A…

Cooler scene: Peter with his shirt off or Claire cutting her toe off?
A. Hiro: Claire. Was anyone else screaming at the TV during that scene, "Grow back! Grow back!" No? Really?

Halo69: Peter. I find his story line among the more interesting of the 76 going on right now. And while I heart Claire, the whole self-mutilation thing is not as big a turn-on as you might think.

HeroesFanatic: I'd have to go with Claire. Those special effects were pretty darn cool. But it's safe to assume her portrayer, Hayden Panettiere, would go with a half-naked Peter.

Do you miss Niki and Micah?
Halo69: What I really miss are those photos of Ali Larter nude. Can we get those back up on the site? Just kidding. Sort of. Niki and Micah are cool, too.

HeroesFanatic: Yes. Molly Walker looks lonely and I wanna see if those sparks between her and Micah from last season are legitimate or not.

A. Hiro: Do I miss looking at Ali Larter and being impressed by a 10-year old boy that can put together a computer in less time than it takes me to answer this question? Come on. Is West sketchy?

Does Bob (from The Company) have the best interest of those with special abilities in mind?
HeroesFanatic: Only if their best interests involve being tortured and experimented on.

A. Hiro: No. I trust this guy about as much as I trust reports that Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are dating. Come on. He's 30!

Halo69: Get outta town with this question. Bob is shady to the max. The better question is whether he is playing Mohinder or vice versa.

Preferred partner for Hiro: Kensei or Ando?
A. Hiro: Ando is loyal and good at speaking Japanese. But which of these sidekicks would you prefer to have a drink with? Enough said.

Halo69: Kensei is a cool character, but Ando, has really endeared himself to this viewer. You can't deny the great rapport Ando has with his cohort. He and Hiro are a natural fit... much like myself, Hayden Panettiere, a romantic Italian restaurant and a nice bottle of red wine. Yes, I'm 28.

HeroesFanatic: You know what they say: Bros before hos... and wussy drunks that pretend to be Samurai warriors. Ando is the choice.

Welcome to the Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and story line, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.

Topics in this edition include: Mr. Nakamura's murderer; Claire's love interest; and Peter's memory. Let's get to the Q&A...

Who pushed Hiro's father off the roof?
A. Hiro: West. I don't trust that guy. And the fact that he can fly? And this dude in the hoodie was all of a sudden on the roof, yet not on the ground after tackling Hiro's father? Come on, give me a challenge.

Timex: I don't think we've met enough of the older generation of Heroes to know yet. I'm guessing it was the Sylar of their generation.

Mr. Sulu: It had to have been Simone Deveaux. She's one of the most annoying characters of all time and annoying characters never go away, even if they allegedly die. Either her or Lyle.

Worse drunk: Nathan or Takezo Kensei?
Timex: Definitely Nathan. Takez is your friendly town drunk. Nathan? He's just kind of a pathetic, drown your sorrows kind of drunk. No one likes a sad drunk.

Mr. Sulu: Depends upon your definition of worse. Nathan appears worse, but the unintentional comedy of his drinking-induced beard is off the charts. Besides, what possible angle could Takezo Kensei being British bring to the show?

A. Hiro: Kenzei. He's harming more than himself by drinking on the job. Who does he think he is, Dr. Gregory House? Until you've diagnosed at least three patients while on Vicodin, Takezo, keep the drugs away from work. At least Nathan isn't in office as he drowns himself at the bottom of a bottle.

What are your feelings on West? Will he turn out to be good or evil?
Mr. Sulu: Who's West? Oh, he's the guy who was hitting on Claire in high school. Right. Three "flyers" (not the hockey team) is too many, so let's hope he's evil and gets killed. I already miss the one-ability-per-hero-unless-you-are-Peter-Petrelli-or-Sylar angle.

A. Hiro: See answer to the first question. And then run for cover, everyone. Especially older Asian men on roofs.

Timex: Oh there's definitely something off about West. Of course, I probably only dislike him out of jealousy. Hayden's mine, back off!

Which will happen first: Claire joins the cheerleading team or Peter gets his memory back?
Timex: Claire's definitely joining the cheerleading team next episode. I mean, we've gone an entire episode without seeing her in a cheerleading outfit. That's terrible! As for Peter, I'm pretty sure since he had the Haitian's necklace around him - therefore, the Haitian wiped his memory for good.

A. Hiro: Gimme a "C"... gimme an "L"... gimme an "A"... gimme an "I think Claire joins the cheerleading squad next week."

Mr. Sulu: I think we closed the door on Claire joining the cheerleading team with the season premiere. In fact, I doubt we'll see many more shots of her in school. Obviously her father's efforts to "be normal" are going to be in vain and that means no cheerleading. Besides, robots cheerlead, not aliens (honestly, robots and aliens? that's the best they could come up with? And who hits on a girl by asking if they're a robot or an alien?)
