++ Wank is funny, except sometimes when it's not. However, the recent Heroes wank is made of lulz and headdesking combined, which does include some spoilers about something that's going to happen near the finale. Oh Heroes fandom, you slay me. You really do. As for the "shocking twist" it's either going to be what I think it is which is a red-herring, or actually be just what everyone thinks it is. I'm kind of going back and forth with this show anyway, practically reading up on spoilers since I'm not watching. So, heh. Either way, will be grabbing the popcorn and sitting back for this, fo'sure.

++ Brand new full-length Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer. HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. O_O This is probably going to be the best one yet.

++ Due to Bear McCreary's genius I am, in my spare time, learning how to play certain pieces of his scores. Particularly the "Final Five Theme" that has become my favorite piece at the moment. There's no sheet music as of yet, so I have to relay on my own devices to try and mimick the notes to the best of my ability. I haven't played the piano before, but I do know how to read music, even though it's been some time since I've done so. Needless to say I've found a new hobby, whee!

If anyone wants to know, I've been watching/listening to this guy's tutorial for inspiration of how to play the theme. He's incredible, and explains and shows it well.

++ How is it that people have already got their hands on Caprica? Was it with the pre-ordered special or downloading? *is confused* OH! AND BSG WAS ON THE NEW CSI! Well, technically in a sense, it was an homage to the reimagining of a classic cheesy scifi show that everyone hates the idea of. Anyway, there were cameos by some of the BSG cast, including RONALD D. MOORE HIMSELF! Don't believe me? I provides teh proofs. *brb loling at the awesome*

S2 wasn't the best, but I still maintain that it was wayyy better than this season has been since at least that had some continuity that made sense to its predecessor. I think S1 will always remain the epic season because at least Kring and Co. had a vision of what they wanted to do. Now? Not so much, which is a pity.

I loved those films, I thought they were amazing, and OotP was the best imho. But y'know, personal preferences and all. I just can't wait for HBP.

There are people who think season one sucks, so it's all a matter of opinion lol. Either way, we can all agree that season one was the only one that they had an idea of what they were working toward. I think they need to make the next season all one volume. It seems like planning on splitting it into two volumes isn't working to well.

OtTp was one of the best of the books, the movie, I wasn't to happy with lol. However, I am looking forward to the next one after seeing the preview. I wasn't going to see it in theatre's before that came out. Have you read the books?

Well they initially wanted S2 to be split of two volumes, but then the WGA strike happened. So they did that with S3...but the issue is that there's literally no indication that they are referring back to V3 in V4 (and imo, I'm happy they aren't) but it does seem choppy and inconsistent and, ugh. Yeah. I'm kinda frustrated with that.

Of course I've read the books! OotP was my favorite book of the series, actually. Hence loving the movie. ;)

I know, but it was kind of on the funky side. At that time, they were planning on two volumes, and then they had to finish it up because of the strike. I kind of liked what they had planned for the original volume three, but it's probably only because of the "what could have happened" factor lol.

I'm kind of glad they're not referring much to volume two in this volume, mostly because of the epic fail known as Arthur Petrelli. He was so cheesy lol.

PoA, GoF, and OtTp are my three favorites. I couldn't choose only one lol.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I wished they'd kept the idea they had for the alternative ending of volume two, I think that would've been more interesting of a concept for volume three than what was decided. And Arthur Petrelli...oh man, don't get me started. Loads of epic fail with that volume with him and ~*~THE HUNGERZ~*~ and all that crap.

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

Same here, even though I was sick of "the virus", at least I knew it was going somewhere. Then the strike hit and I felt duped when it amounted to nothing. I was like, the original volume three would have been awesome lol.

OMG finally someone who agrees with me about Arthur. I was like, what the crap? And he was super cheesy, and non-Petrelli-ish. He was totally lame, I was like this is who Angela is up against? lol.

The hunger was the lamest thing ever, and Peter badly channeling Sylar again. Lets not forget the episode with the most plot holes ever, villians. Seriously, what was that? lol. And Mohinder turning into the fly/roach/monster lol.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I was waiting for Arthur to be epic shit but I was like lolrly? This is their father? They could've dealt with that better, uber lame. And the whole "omg is Sylar a Petrelli? Good guy, bad guy, whut?" was also lame.

And OMG BUG!MOHINDER! I felt so bad the fact that Sendhil had to deal with that idiotic storyline, how they butchered him. I understood their intent of making superpowers not all that great and can change people.....but we didn't need that literal change. Srsly. I felt that was so farfetched and cracky that that's when I starting giving up on the show. I was like, really? Really Kring?

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I was like what the crap? That guy was a total cheese-fest. I called Sylar not being a Petrelli, and then they had me questioning it, and then when it came out that he wasn't I was like I CALLED IT! But, what was up with Sylar's father? He was cheesy to. And he had "the hunger" lol.

I didn't think Mohinder was that desperate to have a super power. When he injected him self I was like, what are you doing?! lol. And Tracy, I would have rather seen one of Niki's other personalities instead of having her be a triplet.

One more thing, they said Sylar is going to shape shift into someone shocking. I say it's Mr. Muggles.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Mohinder never showed any interest in having a power before, so I was all wtf with that too. And then he was high and horny and then knocking people out and placing them into spiderwebs and then getting scales. I was like bzuh?! WTF IS HAPPENING WITH THIS SHOW AND ARE THEY SMOKING THE HORRIBLE!STORYLINE CRACKPIPE?!

I liked Tracy, but I also miss Niki/Jessica. They also are saying that Tracy ain't dead and is coming back...and then this whole Barbara dealio. I was like, look, Ali may be the Cylon of the show, but srsly now. Don't make her storyline anymore complicated then it needs to be.

One more thing, they said Sylar is going to shape shift into someone shocking. I say it's Mr. Muggles.

LOL PROBABLY.

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

But you have to admit, Mohinder brought on the lulz when he was losing it lol. And I was like, Maya has some bad taste. First Sylar, who killed her, and then Mohinder who cocooned her lol. I'm still not sure what the point of that was.

Well, at least Tracy is badass. I don't think she's dead because isn't she imune to her own power? And she blinked after she was shattered.

When I read "shifting into someone shocking" was like, MR. MUGGLES! But really, who could it be? I can't think of anyone "shocking" lol.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I kinda feel bad for the actress because her character went literally nowhere. Zero storyline, zero development. And then poof, she disappeared. I didn't exactly care for Maya that much but c'mon, the writers should've at least had her do something other than being the victim. :/

True. And Ali isn't going anyway so, idk.

Inorite? Who is "shocking" anymore these days? Unless it's someone dead, but idk who that could be.

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

Alejandro's ability was more interesting, so it kind of sucked that he was the one who didn't stick around longer.

I don't think anyone is "shocking" anymore. He already was Nathan the president in season one(that was shocking), and now he's basically everyone so I don't think anyone will be shocking. Maybe he can turn into Claude lol.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I know. :( Poor Alejandro, we never really got a chance to see him do anything with that power, whatever it was. It would've been more effective had he survived, yeah? Sigh. Oh show, killing off awesome characters that are more interesting than the living ones...

Which, we know the fact that Claude Raines is indeed returning in some form so, perhaps that's who it is. :)

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure what he could do with his ability other than suck the deadly tears out. I mean, he could have sucked cancer out of people or something much bigger, but we'll never know now.

Heroes needs more Claude. And cool catch phrases like in season one lol.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Claude was the shiznit, like fo'real. It's Christopher Eccleston for goodness sakes! He needs to return and bitchslap Peter for being a dumbass with his snide and snarky remarks he does so well. ;D
