Heroes 9/29

Why the fuck did you add them to the show to only use them as fodder? Gods fucking damn what a waste...

Was she the psychosometric that MamaPatrelli fed to Sylar? Didn't know she was from somewhere else, since I gave up on trying to follow the online comic...

But mostly I meant Frank Capra's Jesse. He had like TWO scenes where he wasn't Peter/Jesse. They hyped him and The German in all the pre-show releases and then did NOTHING with either. Plus they had a chance to team Capra and Bell up again as a VR reunion and just flushed that away. I'm just annoyed with the writers (and given that one is Loeb thats no shock) right now...

Yeah. Bridget was the psychometric.

And I never saw Veronica Mars (I know, I know... despite my mad crush on Kristen Bell, I have yet to find the time!)... but it is possible that the scripts were done BEFORE the casting. That usually is the standard. And writers - unless they are an executive producer - have no power over casting decisions. So a VM alumni winding up in a part is likely coincidental.

As for Loeb being one of the writers... well, I actually like some of his work (Long Halloween IS a good Batman story) and the HEROES scripts he was the main writer on were some of the best. It hasn't helped his reputation though, that all of those episodes had a main female character die in them.
