Matricians: What are you watching?

[Johncarllos]

Claire is surprised.
She is #####ting a brick that she's being saved.

[NovaMan XP]

Heroes spoilers:
[spoiler]Whoa, what's up with Galaxy Man being in this episode?[/spoiler]

...wut.

[Mikero]

Mohinder will turn into a beautiful butterfly.

At best I suspect it'll be like Freak from newer The Amazing Spider-Man stuff. Freak is really stupid and annoying and just a crap copy of the Abomination from Hulk.

Everytime you kill him he cocoons for a while and then later comes back unable to die the same way as last time.

[Johncarllos]

....

He becomes a Lizard man, this has been covered.

Anyways, I bet he's having a great time with Maya right now.

(Where does he shoot the cocoon stuff from?)

[Chron]

Glands.

[Vinchenz Rock]

"Suresh? Yeah. He's harmless"

...I can't believe Hiro actually did that.

[Johncarllos]

WHAT.
WHAT.
WHAT.

HIRO OFFED ANDO.

Good thing he controls time and space.

[Mikero]

Spoilers, dumb ass.

Anyway
[spoiler]I guarantee he stopped time and put some vest or something that bleeds on Ando and then did it. That or he just un-does it later.[/spoiler]

....

He becomes a Lizard man, this has been covered.

Yeah no #####. How does that contradict what I said? If he burns to death or something, he comes back with a tough hide that can't burn. There's a lot of characters like that and they all tend to have lizardy skin.

[ASR]

I hate having to ignore all the posts in this topic every Monday night when I decide not to watch Heroes with the rest of the world when it airs.

I can. In fact, I'll probably not watch it tonight and then wait a few days until I watch it online.

I find most shows better with commercial breaks. It ups the anticipation.

Hate commercials during stand-up though.

Agreed on both counts. Although, I certainly don't mind NOT having commercial breaks when watching shows at all. But you're right.

[Vinchenz Rock]

So... he didn't die after all?

I wish I could say I expected that, considering everything that's happened so far.

[Johncarllos]

fine.

[spoiler]HOLY ##### MR. PETRELLI. HE IS SUCH A BADASS VEGETABLE.[/spoiler]

[Mikero]

I think he looks like a loser. Liked him better blurry.

ASR; I don't mind it either, but I think for dramas like Lost and Heroes where a lot and a little happens at the same time, you need those omigosh pauses to help highten the hype.

When it goes to commercial it's usually after a good moment, and you want it to come back but have to wait those minutes out while hyped. If you're watching it online you get your answer right away and instant satisfaction is rarely good.

[Edgecrusher]

There's no way commercials take advantage of your emotionally heightened state, either.

[Mikero]

Of course they do, but I really don't care since a lot of commercials aren't aimed at me anyway and I drink a lot of water so I'm in the bathroom anyhow.

Last night I saw Simon Pegg on MTVLive and it was great.

[Majikn]

I just don't watch the commercials. There's a familiar sound that always plays before the show comes back on, and I just make sure I can come back on short notice.

I just finished reading Watchmen and I was GIVING myself short breaks from it.

[ASR]

Simon Pegg is always funny and awesome on any of his TV appearances. I've seen him on a handful of talk shows before, and I believe something he did on Comedy Central for Run Fatboy Run, maybe.

He always comes across as a really genuine and fun guy, which is rare these days.

[Mikero]

This was just like... Well Daryn Jones just got him to come into the office and make fun of everyone for that How to alienate and blah blah movie.

Actually here, I found a video.

Simon Pegg is always funny and awesome

Duh.

[ASR]

I'm educating the uneducated.

I'm also confirming the confirmed.

[Mikero]

That's no offense, just stating a fact.

[Johncarllos]

Fatty fat fat, that's your nickname.

[von Teelio]

House is a great show. I love those medical mysteries. Not often you see good hospital shows.

Scrubs is beyond annoying.

[Edgecrusher]

I would pay good money to see Zack Braff punched in the face.

[Mikero]

Now TLO has to fight ASR.

I love House. I don't know anything about Scrubs, really.

[ASR]

I got into Scrubs when I was at an impressionable younger and less wiser age, so it's won me over even if I can admit it's not the greatest show.

I still really like it.

[von Teelio]

The whole moral-of-the-day deal after every episode gets very tedious. The only good thing about it is the random "hot chick" that shows up.

[ASR]

Meh. And yeh.

Just watched Heroes.

Goddamn that was a crazy episode.

I'm angry that John spoiled the whole [spoiler]"OMG HIRO OFFED ANDO"[/spoiler] in giant all-caps.

Because that would've surprised me.

Posted on: 15 October 2008, 07:20:31

Also, when I watch it online here, the crappy internet causes it to lag at least 10 times each episode, usually at good parts like the explosion last week. Totally ruined the explosion for me.

But yeah, this week, it froze at some interesting parts. This one made me laugh. Made up for ruining the explosion.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Heroes spoilers:
[spoiler]Whoa, what's up with Galaxy Man being in this episode?[/spoiler]

...wut.

There's a guy whose powers are real Black Hole Bombs.

Then he sucked himself in. :(

Edit: Hah, ASR, that must have come to you the instant you saw it.

[ASR]

Seriously, guys, spoiler tags. PLEASE. Vinch, I'm not even going to forgive you for not using a spoiler tag even though I just watched the episode, because if I hadn't watched it tonight, you WOULD have spoiled that for me.

I like this thread because it's about ALL TV-shows in general, so I don't like to have to avert my eyes from Heroes spoilers, because I usually don't watch that one on the night it airs anymore. Yet I'd still like to talk about other TV shows.

Like House, which was fantastic tonight.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Someone needs his bed time sleep. >_>

Yeah, sorry. But I only didn't hide it that time because I knew you just watched the episode.

And damn it, I missed House again.

[ASR]

He dies.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I'M A RAGE NOW

[preventerWIND]

I'M STEVE

[Johncarllos]

[spoiler][size=8]Okay Alec, I'll use spoiler tags from now on.[/size][/spoiler]

[Abominator]

Heroes is SUCH trash.

I can't believe I watch it.

I'm givin it one more episode and if it's not better, then I'm calling it a day.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I'm watching Firefly.

Right now.

With friends.

All episodes. And we only just started the second one.

This is going to be quite a night...

[Abominator]

Firefly is abysmal too.

I saw Heroes had it's lowest ever rating the other week, and I was not surprised.

[Edgecrusher]

Firefly is abysmal too.

THANK you!

[von Teelio]

Never heard of Firefly, and Heroes never held my attention in the slightest. Most of today's TV series is crud. However, I just got into Sanctuary, which is highly an exception.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Well, we didn't watch all of the episodes.

But anyway, the show seemed alright. Worth a watch of all of the episodes at least once. For me, anyway.

[Mikero]

I can't stand Firefly. The best episode I ever saw was just about halfway inbetween "crap" and "OK at best."

[Chron]

The only thing I've ever heard about Firefly is Christina Hendricks.
And even then I have no idea what she does in the show.

Not watching TV is nice, guys.
You should try it.

[Rama Olendris]

I've been watching an anime called Casshern Sins, it's a continuation from an anime made in the 70s I believe. None the less, this anime is awesome however it is stupidly close to the Megaman X series. The main character looks almost exactly like him, has almost the same mental problems, and it even has a Sigma. Granted there are huge differences but it is still creepy how similar they are.

Here is a link to the first episode.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjY70xP3xas&feature=related

[preventerWIND]

Huh, looks pretty alright. I've heard of Casshern before, theres a movie about this junk if I remember right. I'll give it a shot, if its interesting enough I might go back and watch the 70's episodes as well.

Giant Robots spell awesome for me!

Pretty unique art style, looks good. And Casshern looks like a Quick Man Falcon Armor cross.. and sweet Jesus that little girls face scares me.

[Johncarllos]

Eh.

Icky eyelashes.

[Chron]

The animation is really crisp and such, but I have no idea what's going on or care to find out.

[ChaosVortex]

Me either.

And I got a Star Force vibe for some reason though. That's not a good thing.

[Mikero]

Start of Heroes; Called it.

As usual.

[Johncarllos]

I noticed.
[spoiler]
But the whole last bit, "feels good to breathe again" is wow.
Can Adam revive from that?

He's Rogue.[/spoiler]

[Vinchenz Rock]

Called what? >_>

Anyway, I'm happy my art class ended an hour before it was supposed to end. :D

[ASR]

I'm actually watching it on TV today.

Mike called that
[spoiler]Hiro went back in time or something to set it up so that Ando wasn't killed.[/spoiler]

And what, John?
[spoiler]It's obvious that his power is to just drain other people's "life forces" and get their abilities. Not quite the same as Peter's.[/spoiler]
