Duchess of Evil

I am in a good mood today. :)

Normally this would not be worth commenting on, but days where I am inexplicably happy about everything seem fewer and farther between lately than they used to be, so I'll take the oddity of smiling at things on a Wednesday and press forward.

Which means I am writing today. Yesterday and the day before were taken up by personal life related things that some of you know about, so today starts my October push on (working title) Vyusher, aka McClairen's book. I may even post a word count meter later. (I know, shocking!)

I am already behind on my TV watching this week, but I did see Heroes Monday night, and Kensei and Hiro continue to be my favorite bits! Although I actually really loved the Peter parts, too (when I could ignore the awful accents). People like Peter and Sylar are just badass, yo! Oh, and where was Niki? Is she still on this show?? (Yes, I have seen her in the previews. I am simply miffed that two whole episodes have gone by with NOTHING about her or Micah or DL. COME ON already.)

So, I was thinking about Heroes, and it suddenly occured to me why I like Mr. Bennet, aka HRG so very much.

See, if Kensei is rather like Sark, HRG is a LOT like Jack. Seriously. Take a moment to imagine the stoic Mr. Bristow working at a Copy Kingdom (Kinkos).

...

See what I mean? And he loves his daughter, and is willing to make whatever sacrifice necessary to protect her. Which somehow seems to include lying to her about certain things and hiding them.

He is so my new Jack! Though I think in general, he's better at fatherhood than Jack ever managed.

Thanks be to the ever fabulous the_grynne for the link! Here's a 6 minute preview of S2 of Heroes. For the number of you on my f-list eagerly awaiting seeing Anders as a new morally ambiguous British bastard, the last minute and a half is not to be missed.

Poor Hiro.

I am completely in a BSG mood today.  I don't know why - it's not Friday - but there it is.  All I can think about are hot pilots (except Lee, who would be hot again if only they would ditch the fat suit.  Which I'm really hoping is only an ep or two away, now.)

Except, I've also beeing thinking a bit on Heroes, and how this show is shaping up.
