idealists are the cruelest monsters of them all.

In conclusion? NATHAN.

*ahem* And Peter. :-)

From:

No, not really. At least not to me. He's growing on me some what, but he's no Nathan.

From:

LOL, I didn't mean for you! I meant it more in the sense of, you can't imagine one without the other.

Your icon = best ever. :D

I was like

hackthis with the Not So Much Into Peter until I had a dream that I was Peter. And then I got a deeper understanding of him, somehow, and it was all good. Also, I was very, very hot in the dream. Because it's Peter. XD

From:

Isn't it just? I love it to bits.

I wasn't much of a Peter fan until "Homecoming." Now I luff him. :-)

From:

azewewish.livejournal.com

Yeah, but if they're trying to build on the L&O lead-in, it could be a good thing. *shrugs*

From:

You are very wise grasshoppa! Also? LANDRY!

From:

Maybe we can get some Daddy Petrelli!

My first reaction when I saw the mention of the Heroes: Origins series?

How many other children has Nathan Petrelli sired?

But you're right - maybe we'll see Daddy Petrelli as, odds are at least one of the people in the Origins story is probably a Random Half-Sibling of ~~Ethan and Harrison~~ Nathan and Peter.

From:

Dude. Where is Daddy Petrelli's brother? You know he has one. This is TOTALLY generational with the brothers thing.

From:

But I want the Daddy Petrelli story-arc to be integrated with the main series, not the spinoff. *hopes*

From:

Will it be a young Daddy Petrelli played by Adrian because that would be awesome.

And poor, poor Friday Night Lights. I will eventually get over the fact that Tim Riggins looks like a young Christian Kane and watch all the episodes so I can suffer with you.

From:

I just told

heidi8 that this is obviously a generational thing and it will be about Daddy Petrelli and *his* brother. That would be some crazy ass awesomeness, wouldn't it?

Watch FNL! Watch FNL! Also, you are supposed to be watching Entourage! We made a deal! *waves Profit DVDs avidly*

From:

I know. I suck. This week. I promise.

And, I haven't even finished watching this, but you have to see this - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18656966/

It's the today show interview with the heroes cast from this morning. Milo and Adrian are both there and they are practically on top of each other. And it sort of looks like Milo is trying to hide behind Adrian. It's adorable!

From:

Is there a spoiler there? If there is a spoiler I will not watch. Even though you are trying to pimp that RPS and I am feeling weak.

From:

A few little ones and a clip from tonight's show. After watching the whole thing I say skip it. Adrian has his scary beard and looks half asleep and the only thing really funny said is the Micah actor saying that none of the cast are grown-ups.

Sedhil and Zachary were also standing pretty much on top of each other.

The RPS is shiny and good and helps explains why Adrian looked half-asleep and only seemed to be paying attenting when Milo talked.

From:

I will watch it tomorrow, b/c Adrian can have a scary beard anytime. Also, I may be writing some Sylar-as-Nathan/Mohinder called Weapon of Choice. Maybe.

From:

I am intrigued and offer my full support to you in this endeavor. Though I feel a bit sorry for poor hot future Peter who has to watch his brother gaze longingly at Mohinder in the way he used to gaze at him. Though I guess future Peter can just go back in time and fuck past Nathan to make himself feel better, so it's all good.

From:

Though I feel a bit sorry for poor hot future Peter who has to watch his brother gaze longingly at Mohinder in the way he used to gaze at him.

Dude, that's just unnecessary suffering.

From:

But it does lead to future hot Peter getting drunk and going back in time and banging on Nathan's door and Nathan being all "What the fuck?" and future Peter telling him to shut up and Nathan being so confused by future Peter's hotness and badassness that he shuts up and then they have lots of sex, probably against a wall, and then hot future Peter goes back to the future to be all broody and hot.

From:

*is pole-axed*

You know I want to write this right the fuck now. You totally derailed the Mohinder/Sylar.

From:

No!!! I am very much in favor of the Mohinder/Sylar. Have you not learned to ignore my work induced babbling?

From:

The banging on the front door is so aggressive that for a moment,
Nathan thinks it's the police, but he's a Deputy District Attorney and
he hasn't done anything wrong -- this week -- which really only leaves
one person. Nathan shakes his head sets down a legal tome that weighs
more than a small child. He's got this case starting next week and
he's told Peter repeatedly that he's busy. He has a job. This is
important. Twenty-year old fake-college crises are not important,
putting away mob bosses and child molestors is important.

"I'm coming," he calls, rubbing his forehead as he pads down the
hallway, the lino cool under his feet. "Jesus, Pete, there's a reason
you have a key," he says, unlocking the door after perfuntorily
glancing in the peep hole and seeing the black glossy hair obstructing
his view.

Nathan frowns as the door swings open. "I told you I have a case,
which part of I'm busy and--"

Nathan's voice dies off as Peter raises his head. This -- this is
Peter, but it's not his Peter. There's stubble and a scar and my god,
this Peter has to be a good decade older than his Peter. He looks
like he's Nathan's age.

Nathan can only imagine the shock on his face, but that doesn't even
matter because he's currently being held against the wall by someone
who's stronger than he is and he's kissing Nathan -- Peter is kissing
him like -- like someone who knows how. Like someone who's been
beaten and bruised and has nothing left to lose.

Nathan scrabbles to push the man away. "Who the fuck--" he sputters
wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand, even as Peter steps
inside the apartment and kicks the door closed behind him.

"You won't remember this tomorrow," Peter... not-Peter...

"I'm calling the police," Nathan says.

From:

Sylar doesn't need Nathan Petrelli to become president, but it helps. Correction: killing the shape shifter, acquiring her ability, killing
Nathan Petrelli, and acquiring his 'ability' help. Everything helps.

All Sylar is trying to do is help. He is helping the ordinary rid themselves of the special people. He is exterminating the plague. Wiping out the cockroaches in the walls and under the sink and in the boxes of cereal that have been around for millions of years. All of this killing has nothing to do with Mohinder.

Nothing at all.

No.

Sylar hasn't been killing for him all along. No, of course not.

*

Sylar is not stupid. The moment Mohinder walks into the Oval Office Gabriel begins to make noises in the back of Sylar's mind, but this is not Gabriel's show. If it were up to gabriel they would probably be dead, or in jail, or strapped down on a table while Mohinder tried to kill them repeatedly. Mohinder makes Gabriel weak -- this is yet another reason why Sylar has pushed him away. There is not time for Gabriel's nonsense -- except that the course of true love never did run smooth.

It's a good thing this isn't love.

When Mohinder smiles, Sylar smiles in return. And for a moment everything is quiet. This must be peace. Zen. Nirvana.

And then Mohinder calls him 'Nathan' and Gabriel rages. Sylar can feel the power cracking in his neurons and there's a itch in his shoulderblades as though invisible wings are desperate to spread themselves and fly away.

Nathan is dead.

Fuck Nathan.

Long live them.

From:

Okay. Making me choose is not fair! I love crazy Sylar. A lot. And I also love Nathan overwhelmed by desperate future hot Peter. A lot. There's a lot of awesome all over the place, but if I was like forced to choose at gunpoint, as much as I love the crazy antics of Sylar and his epic Mohinder love, nothing beats hot future Peter having really, relly hot angry sex with present Nathan and than making Nathan forget about it.

Isn't there a way of combining A and B?

From:

I'm thinking I may -- shockingly -- write both. They're just so different, you know? Plus, Nathan really does deserve to get laid whenever he wants.

From:

All of the above! Excellent choice. You're my hero for like the century. Especially your very noble pursuit of helping Nathan get laid whenever he wants. You should get a shiny, shiny medal. Or porn. Whichever you prefer.

*flail* Oooh!

From:

Future!peter can also go back in time, take on Candice's powers before she gets her brainz eaten, and ~~occasionally~~ ~~sometimes~~ often take on the Guise of Mohinder to be Close to Nathan.

Yay for time travel!

From:

Wait so Future Peter will look like Mohinder and being thinking he's with actual Nathan while Sylar will look like Nathan while being with Mohinder angsting over the fact that Mohinder is only into him because he looks like Nathan, but it won't even be Mohinder, it will be Peter who thinks he's with Nathan, except he's not. Ow! It's like something Shakespeare would write while really, really high.

From:

Yes.

Flail?

Of course, it's really depressing and angsty because Nathan is (purportedly) dead.

From:

Dude, that's where present Nathan comes in. He somehow ends up in the future and there's chaos and confusion when future Peter figures out that Sylar is disguising himself as Nathan and confront SylarNathan, but he gets the wrong one and he instead confronts the Nathan from the present and/or something with Mohinder. I think the reverse of this just work too, but I'm confusing myself. I know that at the end everyone gets sorted out into the proper bodies and they have a good laugh, learn a vaulable lesson, and everyone lives happily ever after.

From:

Right, because Hiro teleports with him into the future and he sees what's happened and sorts everything out!

And have you called 660 833 4191 today?

From:

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He sounds so adorable and earnest. Thanks for telling me about that. It made me smile. A lot. Also, did he say 'com' with sort of a weird accent that made it sound like another word or is my mind just totally in the gutter?

From:

Gutter.

Also, I know it's a really strange scraggly thing that's like a back-woodsman type of beard, but he's still hotter than 99.9% of the men in the world. (http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/05/14/hayden-panettiere-adrian-pasdar/#more-2872)

From:

I'm actually starting to get used to the beard. I think maybe I should be fighting hard against it, but Adrian really can make anything look good.

From:

Baby, it's Adrian, if his hair went white overnight he would still be the hottest thing in all 50 states.

Okay, I haven't hit my usual TV-discussion spots, but moving FNL to Fridays might not be that bad.

1. Friday is the second-lowest viewed night of primetime; with lower numbers of people watching network TV, NBC may be happier with a smaller number of viewers. Homicide: Life on the Street eked out an extra 3-4 seasons because it aired on Friday, IMHO.

2. It doesn't have to lead off an evening of programming, which is good.

3. From a marketing standpoint, it makes sense to have FNL actually airing on Fridays. I read tons of comments on various boards and forums this year wondering why a show with "Friday" in the title was airing on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I quote... somebody: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
