It's that special time of year again: UPFRONTS!

This week is upfronts. For the people who don't know, upfronts are when the American broadcast networks announce their schedules for the following season, in this case autumn 2007-2008.

Today, NBC announced its schedule, and since it's the only broadcast net with shows I actually watch, this will be the only one I talk about.

The Good: Friday Nights Lights, our most beloved show, is coming back.
The Bad: They're moving it to Friday nights. At 10pm.
Consensus: They could have just stabbed it and saved us all the pain of a slow death.

The Good: Heroes will be back in the same time slot next year.
The Bad: Dude, we have to wait until September. That's, like, a long way away.
Consensus: In conclusion? NATHAN!

The Good: There is going to be a Heroes spin-off called 'Heroes: Origins'.
The Bad: There will be none of the original characters. Actually, this may not be a bad thing at all. Maybe we can get some Daddy Petrelli!
Consensus: I got nothing. That's now 30 hours of Heroes.


In conclusion? NATHAN.

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!

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.

Yes.

Flail?

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

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.

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?

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?

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)

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.

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