Comic Strip Reference

Here's a Heroes reference from the comic strip Least I Could Do.

Heroes Golden Globe Nominations

Congratulations to Heroes and Masi Oka for their Golden Globe nominations.

More On Zach

Tim Kring has sent an e-mail reply on Zach's "de-gaying" that I first mentioned in this posting by Kring saying that "it has simply become too complicated behind the scenes to push this issue further with this particular character."
And Michael Ausiello commented on the controversy, indicating that it isn't NBC executives that's the cause of it. There's also a couple of other things about Heroes mentioned in the column.

Heroes Comic #12

As promised NBC.com has a new Heroes comic up during the hiatus. As for the story, I liked it better when I saw it in The Empire Strikes Back. And here's the Easter egg picture.

Vote For Heroes!

There's still time for vote for Heroes as Best New Show on the People's Choice Awards, as it's one of two categories still open.

Sidekicks RIP, Long Live The 9th!

Apparently Sidekicks is shutting down because he's joining The Ninth podcast. Welcome addition, sure to make it even better than it is!

"Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In!"

Heroes-TV has a link to an article about how the NBC suits, contradicting the promotional materials, creators, and the show itself; are saying that Zach isn't gay.

Couple More Links

My buddy Highlander writes a thoughtful analysis about the role of women and minorities in Heroes.
And Mark Evanier posts a link to the commercial with Deal or No Deal models playing the parts of Heroes characters.

Heroes Gossip

From Michael Ausiello's TV Guide column: "Eenie, meenie, minie… Heroes! If other huge TV hits have taught us anything, it's that great success begets huge ego clashes. So it should come as no surprise that on-screen tensions within one of Heroes' main couples have spilled over into real life. According to multiple unnamed sources who asked not to be identified for fear of having their brains devoured, the female half of this twosome cannot stand to be in the same room as her leading man, let alone make out with him. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), these two have shared only a handful of scenes together in recent weeks. Send me your guesses, and I promise I won't confirm it if you're correct! (I like my brain without teeth marks, too.)"
Let the speculation begin!

How Long Until January 22nd?

Seven weeks.
49 days.
(As of this writing) 1173.5 hours.
70408 minutes.
What're we gonna do?!!

Well, there is that little thing called "Christmas" coming up. Unfortunately, not much in the way of Heroes stuff (despite NBC's hyping of new stuff at their website. See that "Save the cheerleader" t-shirt they showed? That was the only new thing they've got. Nice going, peacock. Several weeks after so many versions of the same shirt showed up at cafepress.com)
And there's the websites and podcasts. Click on some links on the right and check them out if you haven't already.
And I plan to step up to the plate. I hate the hiatus, too, and the lack of Heroes stuff to bide my time. I hope to keep things going on this blog with all sorts of cool stuff to talk about, like the show, maybe get into those comics reviews I wanted to do to point some cool comics you might want to check out, as well as other shows the Heroes cast has done. Anything else you wanna see? Then e-mail me and I'll see what I can do. Or if you want to say anything else, I'd love to hear from you and know somebody's reading this.
