The show is still awesome! And I will feel compelled to keep saying that until it's no longer a surprise anymore.


( Meta, meta, meta... )

I learned a valuable lesson this weekend, and it is that spray-on tanner is not my friend. At all. In fact, I was flat-out ready to call it an enemy when I was compared to a cheetah after showing my mother the results of said tanner on my legs.

Not. Hot.

As for that Simon/Monty fic I mentioned a few days ago, it's blossomed into this ridiculously long fic with actual plot. I've got over 7,000 words, and I'm just so in love with it that I can't stop. I can't wait to post it, though I may have to divide it into two parts.

Please, for the love of all things good and pure in this world, let this casting rumor for the Heroes S3 finale be true! Not to mention the random Petrelli boys rumor in the comments.


I kinda need these rumors to be true. A lot.

You ever have a ship that you just know you should like? But you don't?

I know that I should be able to ship Sylar/Mohinder. All the work is practically done for me. It's almost canon, they're both gorgeous, and they even have that rivals!dynamic that is usually one of my kinks. They're more or less the Harry/Draco of Heroes, if the sheer amount of fic out there is anything to go by. I tried telling myself that there was just too much fic to wade through to find the good ones, but even when I do find one that's written fabulously and does everything right, I just can't connect. My "do not ship" warning light starts going off.

My only explanation is that I ship them individually with Peter. Peter is my ship whore in Heroes. I always have that one character that I love beyond all others, and I ship them madly with just about everyone. But, bizarrely, I enforce a ship monogamy onto my ship whore's partners. For instance, I love Nathan/Peter, but I can't read fics that pair Nathan with anyone else, whereas I love Peter with Mohinder, Sylar, Adam, Elle, Simone, etc. Hopefully, I'm not the only weirdo to ship this way. Though it's a shame because Mylar is a really good ship, and I love their scenes together. I just can't read the fic.

Another pairing that I probably should like but vehemently don't is Paire. I hate Paire, and I don't know why. Clearly, I'm not opposed to Petrellicest, I don't deny the amazing chemistry Milo and Hayden have on screen, and I won't even deny that it's almost canon-- though I'd like to. I'm possibly squicked by their real life relationship, but that seems like an odd reason to reject the characters in a pairing. I really don't get it. *Scratches head*

I don't know if I'm recovered enough from V3 to start V4 yet. But the network didn't ask me, so here we go. heroes_meta time!

( For your viewing pleasure, an episode that doesn't suck! )

I don't usually pay attention to blind items, but Kristin is usually at least almost right:

E! Online’s Kristin has posted a blind item citing sources “close to Heroes” which indicates that one of the cast members is looking to exit the show at the end of this season, in part because of lack of screen time. According to her sources, NBC has not yet decided whether to let this actor out of his/her contract. There is, however, a “death” planned for the end of Volume 4 that could “wipe out this character for good.”
Here are the clues to who it might be:

1. It’s a series regular who’s been on since season one.
2. Some of you fans would freak if this actor were to leave.
3. This particular Hero-ic soul has more name recognition than others in the cast.
4. According to Peacock-net insiders, NBC is not likely to release this actor. (See number three.)
5. If this actor does return for season four, there’s an easy way to bring him or her back from the planned “death.”

Hmn... The only actors that come to mind from #1 are Sendhil and Ali Larter. I wouldn't say that Mohinder has had less screen time than before, but most of the complexity of his role has been sucked out. And Tracey has barely had anything to do so far this season.

But then we hit #2. I can't imagine that there would be a big fan uprising over the loss of Ali Larter or any of her characters. As ridiculous as his character's become lately, I would still freak out at the loss of Mohinder. I loves that ridiculous pseudo-scientist. So... Sendhil?

However, Sendhil doesn't have the name recognition that other actors on the show have (i.e. Milo, Adrian, Hayden, Greg, etc.), and I can't imagine that he would be actively attempting to leave a successful show. I'd say that he's probably one of the least known outside of the show. Ali has some name recognition. I at least knew who she was before watching Heroes. So... Ali?

I won't even speculate on #4 or #5 because everyone "dies" all the time only to be brought back (as long as they are an attractive White male). So... GAH! I don't know! Any ideas?
