The spinoff will introduce a new character each week, and viewers will select which one stays for the following season. The two series will have 30 new episodes combined.<BR/><BR/>YAY!<BR/><BR/>PHPastor's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196627852143340525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34916748.post-23941240405347617392007-05-13T23:34:00.000-05:002007-05-13T23:34:00.000-05:00Fun to get to know you a little bit, Iris.

I had too a fair number of times, which I think has made me a pretty adaptable person. However, I also have to fight the tendency to mentally "check-out" of a situation after a certain amount of time. My therapist pointed out to me last week that I always get anxious and restless around the month of April because, at least for the moves that we made that I can remember, we often moved in April. Oh, what a wise, wise "Siggy" I have!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Hereos really is a good show.

Not, what one would you want... Although the answer to that question for me would be the shape shifter, illusion creator lady...<BR/><BR/>Rather, what would your hero power be if you were to wake up tomorrow and realize that it's there. <BR/><BR/>I think mine would have something to do with releasing people's tensions... <BR/><BR/>"I don't know how it happens. I just think about it and their tensions disappear..." <BR/><BR/>Something like that.

I, too, am wondering how Peter got his scar. They haven't covered that in the online comic. Maybe he won't get one in the "good" future.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't mind if the shape-shifter woman becomes a Sylar snack- she is so smug. But that would be bad if he got her power. I think she may be more of an illusion maker, than a shape-shifter based on what she did to Micah last episode. That's a dangerous power!<BR/><BR/>Okay, I am freaking myself out- I've never been so into a show before!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by, PH!Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036519649244011605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34916748.post-20664073913282936412007-05-10T21:55:00.000-05:002007-05-10T21:55:00.000-05:00I LOVE HEROES!!!It's so great to "know" someone el...I LOVE HEROES!!!It's so great to "know" someone else who's into this show! I thought the time travel episode a few weeks back was one of the coolest superhero visions EVER. Movie, comic, TV, EVER!!!! I can't wait to find out how Peter gets his scar!<BR/><BR/>I think that whatever happens, Sylar isn't <I>really</I> going to die and that next season, with everyone knowing each other and what each other is capable of, is going to be doubly as cool!<BR/><BR/>Also, did you catch that if the future goes off the "bad" way from a few weeks ago, that Sylar has killed the shape-shifting woman...<BR/><BR/>Great post!Pastor's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196627852143340525noreply@blogger.com
