Round Table News (Page 3)

Welcome to our sixth Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the Dianna Agron]? Why does nothing happen on this show!?

Timex: I actually enjoyed the prank on the bitchy cheerleader. Claire needs to learn to respect her dad, he is kind of the man. See question 4.

Bob's gift of an iPod to Monica: Kind gesture with no strings attached, or part of an evil plan, chock full of ulterior motives?
Milover: Ha, try Option B. Like a payday loan that promises instant cash but is loaded with crippling interest rates on the back end, this iPod is a gift chock full of ulterior motives if there ever was one.

Timex: Bob seems like a good guy. I have nothing but trust for The Company and the virus that they'll release on New York City. Now the important question is: why didn't he give her an iPod touch? Clearly money is not an issue for a man with the Midas Touch.

A. Hiro: I think Bob just wants to make sure Monica is listening to the appropriate tunes as she transforms herself into the ultimate fighting machine. We recommend "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas.

Who will die first: Alejandro, or viewers from the sheer boredom of his, Maya's and Sylar's story line?
Timex: Wow, last night I feared it was going to be me. Can we friggin cross the border already and have something happen? How many episodes must we drag this journey out?

A. Hiro: Alejandro is a goner. We know this much for sure. After all, Sylar gave the audience a little speech about it, one that actually was necessary because we were starting to forget that this guy was evil in the first place. Remember when he actually did stuff? That was awesome.

Milover: Alejandro... if only so the story line will also be put to death, this saving millions of viewers from this fate. That ultimate sacrifice would make him a hero among Heroes.

Mr. Bennet is The Man. Discuss.
A. Hiro: Let's just say I hope Ivan is correct and that there's no going back now for H.R.G. Who would ever wanna see this intriguing, bad ass of a character act in any other way?

Milover: He so is! With a hilarious Masi Oka and the rippling biceps of a shirtless Milo Ventimiglia, it's very easy to overlook the job Jack Coleman does as Mr. Bennet. Yet he's become one of the most compelling characters on the show, week in and week out. I'm curious to see who he shoots next!

Timex: Wow. Anyone who didn't think Mr. Bennett was The Man surely had to become a believer last night. We still don't know if Noah has a talent yet, but even if not, who cares, he sure has the talent of torture. Oh, and a Haitian friend.

Welcome to our fifth Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the Hayden Panettiere the hottest underage girl in America until August? Come on. Last year, Hiro was a true Hero... and hilarious to boot! Now he's merely Samsonite in a bad romance novel. Bring back the Hiro we love!

Timex: Yes. Ever since he got there.

Who is Elle's father?
Milover: Bob from The Company. He's real shady, and the introduction of Elle, who tracks down Peter, is just the latest in a string of evil developments that can potentially be traced back to this dude. Which is hard to believe, if only because this actor was responsible for some classic Groundhog Day quotes back in the day as Ned... Ryerson!

Timex: I'm going to have to guess our good friend at the company, Bob.

A. Hiro: Mr. Bennet. I doubt this is actualy the case, but he appears to be the only interesting character remaining, so let's consider this a bit of wishful thinking.

Dumber move by Mohinder: Trying to free Niki from her restraints, or bringing Molly to The Company in the first place?
Timex: Bringing Molly back to the company! How much work and effort was it to steal her from the company? And now how are we going to have Three Men and a Little Lady without the lady?

A. Hiro: Niki. I'm okay chalking up the Molly blunder to panic over a loved one. But don't you think The Company has cameras, Mohinder? Or hallways outside that room? Way to blow your cover there, doctor. There's a bigger cause at stake here than Niki's well-being.

Milover: Yay. Trying to free Niki. That wasn't too well thought out. What was the next move going to be, huh? You gotta to think many steps ahead because you know The Company has. Unlike Mohinder, Bob always has a plan. Bing!

Who did you miss more in this episode: Sylar, or Mr. Muggles?
A. Hiro: Sylar. At least he's trying to get his powers back. I admire the initiative - and hope Hiro, Nathan and Peter are paying attention.

Milover: I missed both of them. This season is far too scattered. How about a little cohesiveness, or some sense of purpose? Right now, what we have is a great cast of characters doing nothing. I thought Grey's Anatomy was on Thursdays.

Timex: Mr. Muggles! Besides stealing any scene he's in, we generally get a glimpse of Claire.

Welcome to our fourth Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the Ali Larter's presence on the show. Are we sure D.L. was the one who died?

Milover: Are you kidding me? Comic relief from Masi Oka and the chance to see Milo Ventimiglia shirtless are two of the biggest reasons I tune in! Next time you're keeping these essential cogs in the Heroes wheel on the sidelines, NBC, shoot me an email beforehand so I can go to bed early.

Timex: Yes and yes. They kept me from two of my favorite characters. Hiro's our light-hearted hero; of course I miss him! As far as Peter, he's the super hero of the show, even if he is slumming it right now.

Parkman's father is The Boogeyman. Too outlandish of a coincidence? Or a cool Heroes connection?
Milover: Maybe a tad much, but still a cool connection. Come on. It's Heroes. You have to expect the unexpected... and that we are all connected.

Timex: When it comes to Heroes, nothing is too outlandish of a coincidence. Need I list all the outlandish coincidences from even just last night's episode? Alejandro and Maya running into Sylar? Parkman being the detective on the Momma Patrelli case? Nothing seems outlandish at this point.

A. Hiro: I'm a fan of crazy coincidences. Some may even refer to these as fate and, let's face it, the mythology of Heroes is pretty much grounded in these talented individuals being connected in various ways. But there's a slippery slope to be careful of here. Next thing you know, Mohinder's mailman will be the former babysitter of Nathan's kids and Kensei will be Claire's second cousin. The show can't shock the viewers too many times or there's no way to follow the story line.

Nathan shaved. Yay or nay?
Timex: I kind of was digging the cuddly, drunken teddy bear look Nathan had going on. But of course he also did look like a creepy hobo when he went to visit his kids through a gate. It's tough, but I'm going to have to vote yay.

A. Hiro: Nay. I was hoping for a beard-off between Nathan and future Jack from Lost.

Milover: Yay. That was the worst facial hair experiment on TV this fall. Yes, even more of a disaster than Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) on Grey's Anatomy.

Which secret will be revealed first: Claire dating West? Or Mr. Bennet working against The Company?
A. Hiro: Claire and West. Mr. Bennet will be on to them when he finds the obligatory home pregnancy test in the kitchen trash can.

Milover: Claire dating West. How good are teenagers - even those with regenerative powers - at keeping secrets? Plus, you could tell Mr. Bennet already knows in the back of his mind that Claire is up to something. As for his crusade against The Company, Mr. B. is covering his tracks... for now.

Timex: Claire dating West. I mean, Mr. Bennet is kind of the man. I'd like to think he's better at keeping secrets than the world's worst liar. Aquarium? Library? Really?

Welcome to our third Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the 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

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

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?)
