If this is really the first five minutes of the premiere, why would you come back and watch it Tuesday after watching the WHOLE premiere?

The guy to the far right has the same look, but it clearly not looking at Bell and Duhamel. He wins.

Why the face?

I am partial to "Gash" myself. Makes the vagina sound like a mishap. Also, "Frothing at the gash" is right up there with my favorite phrases of all time.

I can't tell if what Sylar is saying to Parkman is a threat or a pep talk. "I know you can do this, Parkman!" "Try again!"

I Live Blogged this ep on my friend's Facebook page. My uninteresting thoughts:
I can never tell: Does Samuel have a Scottish accent sometimes? Is that also a part of his powers? "I move earth and am occasionally Sean Connery."

Love This Show
I consumed both seasons in an afternoon and then rewatched them both that night. Just awesome.

NBC will not pick up dying series from other networks. They need a hit, so they will go for low-brow and simplistic stuff dolled up to look like high concept gold. Probably with a name actor who doesn't have a great deal going for them in Hollywood this second (John Malkovich, maybe?). He'll be the center of the…

Ummm
Help me out, cause I think I have a solution to the Late Night mess, and I am not sure why it wouldn't work, aside from the hatred .

My Friend Loves this Season
So I decided to do my own "live blog" by posting on his Facebook page as thoughts occurred to me. Some samples:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Do you think the acronym of the school is meant as a joke? Or god forbid a pun? BMS = BMs, or "Bowel Movements"?

Are some long, rambling ass metaphors.

No visit to the psychic?
I would have traded the "Laser beaming the Cylon" filler scene for a capper with Leonard's psychic reading. That scene has tremendous comic potential and they just didn't bother.
