And now here's a sentence where I agree with my subject heading.
He really kind of wanted to fuck Karen on Karen Sisco by MarsFalls	Aug 1st, 2008 04:09:42 PM
And I mean it was Carla Gugino, so who can blame him? Even so, he was playing her father.

Anyone who thought he was not going to pop up at some point has not been paying attention.

for this shit series. Oh well.
In undrelated news, I finally read Watchmen by ArcadianDS	Aug 1st, 2008 04:37:45 PM
It was interesting at times, horribly wordy at other times (im still half-crosseyed), and while the buildup to the ending was very fun, the ending itself was fall apart silly. There's a great deal of emotional build-up that has no release - no real payoff. A certain character meets a certain conclusion in the snow and its utterly pointless. And it ends with a big "so was the end justified by the means?" and ROLL CREDITS, its over. Then we get a series of epilogue moments, the first of which (in Florida) was very nice. It should have ended there. Then we get a self-referential geek-moment at the final epilogue that is just flaccid. All in all it certainly is a great story - way too many words for a comic book. Id give it a 9/10 score. PS: the missing writer - what exactly was that about? It went absolutely nowhere.
ArcadianDS by board shitlez	Aug 1st, 2008 04:45:38 PM
What score would you give it if you liked it?! You're a generous chap.
arcadianDS by BurgerKing	Aug 1st, 2008 04:56:48 PM
The missing writers and artists who all went to that island SPOILERS were like making the monster i think. Been awhile since I read it but I believe thats right, they were like working for Ozy engineering the whole thing.
arcadianDS by treewarrior	Aug 1st, 2008 05:02:27 PM
yeah, you don't remember the writer and the indian artist on the beach talking about the monster they'd designed for what they thought was a movie? the writer concieved the home planet they came from, the artist designed the creature from his notes, the geneticists actually created the thing. also remember they were all on that ship celebrating the end of the project, the writer and the artist were getting it on below decks and the writer realizes they're right next to a ticking bomb... you don't remember that?
arcadianDS by treewarrior	Aug 1st, 2008 05:02:58 PM
oh, yeah SPOILERS for previous post

Sounds good to me by Mullah Omar	Aug 1st, 2008 05:39:36 PM
But did the guy fake his death or what?
Robert Forster, Tacom? Hell I wanna be by Hint_of_Smegma	Aug 1st, 2008 05:57:26 PM
Neil Diamond when I grow up. Fuck any one of you that has a problem with that.
I guess they are going to ret-con the pic . . . by SkidMarkedUndies	Aug 1st, 2008 06:01:02 PM
because that doofus looks nothing like Robery Forster.
Good choice but should be Shatner !!! by picardsucks	Aug 1st, 2008 06:33:07 PM
So Shatner could kick that prick Sulu's ass!!!

ArcadianDS...i really hope you dont watch lost by bacci40	Aug 1st, 2008 07:42:18 PM
cuz that is where the missing writer, artist and scientists all are...and the point of that individuals death in the snow being pointless...is the fucking point...you are so used to seeing heroes get a fucking heroic death, that you missed the point completely...oh, sorry it was too wordy for your tastes...next time take out see spot run...maybe that will be more to your liking....god, i love ripping on people who dont get watchmen...as for forster being papa petrelli...who the fuck cares...these fucks keep missing all the great geek out choices...it should be shatner....or aberjenois....fuckers
Should Be Stallone by Phategod2	Aug 1st, 2008 08:11:21 PM

Tony Danza by ChocolateJesus	Aug 1st, 2008 08:35:04 PM
I wish he was MY dad.
Chuck Norris by mrfan	Aug 1st, 2008 08:39:09 PM
He should be in this show. Of course they would have to change the name of the show to Hero.
I remember Robert Forster from The Black Hole... by Pennsy	Aug 1st, 2008 09:20:44 PM
The acting may have been lite, but it stands to this day as a pretty nice rebuke to CGI-fests that we have now in movies.
Robert Forster is medium cool by Geekgasm	Aug 1st, 2008 10:10:52 PM
Now I actually want to watch Heroes this season.
Damn by dvdhound79	Aug 1st, 2008 11:39:50 PM
I thought it was the dude from Max's Headroom. Oh well.
Robert Foster interesting choice by Xiphos_2	Aug 2nd, 2008 12:06:21 AM
even with the inclusion of an interesting actor the show is proably still doomed.
Forster by jackofhearts29	Aug 2nd, 2008 12:17:09 AM
Black Hole cool. Jackie Brown cool. Cool.
Robert Forster eats dick by smackfu	Aug 2nd, 2008 02:13:23 AM
just kidding, you stay classy, Robert Forster.
More or less lost interest in Heroes, but... by DanielKurland	Aug 2nd, 2008 02:26:00 AM
I fucking adore Robert Forster. Jackie Brown is so, so good.
Arcadian by ChocolateJesus	Aug 2nd, 2008 03:34:05 AM
(SPOILERS FOR WATCHMEN) Normally, I don't like to accuse people of "not getting it", but in this case you really didn't get it. The science fiction portion of that ending was totally out there, and was a means to an end. That end being the inescapable moral quandary that the hero characters are forced into. The character who had the situation in the snow had that situation because of the very nature of his character: He was the only one totally unwilling to compromise, even for the "greater good." You should go back and read it again, the ending is really pretty amazing, and gives payoff to each character based on their response to the quandary.
Bacci by VegasRon	Aug 2nd, 2008 05:35:30 AM
and the rest of you. Chill on ppl not getting Watchmen the first time around. I hated it when I first read it, but I was a snot-nosed teenager who didn't really get it the first time around. Second time it blew me away.
The Dead Alive by estacado1	Aug 2nd, 2008 07:48:35 AM
Apart from bringing the once-alive-then-dead back, they stepped it up by bringing the dead-from-the-beginning back. Might as well call the show Dead Rising. The biggest mistake they made with the show wasn't time travel, but super healing. Super healing just sucks out any real tension from the show.
Throw in Steven Seagal by SeymourClearly	Aug 2nd, 2008 07:51:57 AM
Maybe the bloated ponytailed hack has a place in Heroes mythology?
Nobody is dead on that show. by Angry_Bastard	Aug 2nd, 2008 09:50:50 AM
Season 1 was good, season 2 was shite. We know Nicky is back because NBC showed us a big old commercial with Ali Larter saying, "We're back!" Peter and Nathan's dad is not dead, HRG was given Claire's blood to live. I have a feeling that the Menudo wonder twins will be back as well. /sigh

Just sayin...
VegasRon...cant do it by bacci40	Aug 2nd, 2008 11:24:10 AM
especially when i have to watch tb after tb extolling the virutes of lost...and they fuckin took the 4 year story arc from watchmen....right down to the freighter with the bomb...and they admit it...and so many of their fans dont get it...and i loved watchmen from the very first issue...
People still watch this shite? by TheWaqman	Aug 2nd, 2008 01:28:53 PM
I stopped after a few episodes into Season 2.
Mike Ausiello by PotSmokinAlien	Aug 2nd, 2008 03:27:57 PM
So it's that dude's job to do nothing other than sit around writing speculative thoughts about Heroes and LOST, and getting to see episodes before everyone else does? Who did he blow, God?
And by the way, by PotSmokinAlien	Aug 2nd, 2008 03:30:05 PM
Season 2 of Heroes was wretchedly bad. Can't believe they went ahead with a third, and Robert Forster sure ain't enough to reel me back in.
Dude in the photo looks like Peter Fonda. by Christopher3	Aug 2nd, 2008 05:24:32 PM
Producers should have cast him instead.
Papa Patrelli in that photo looks like John C. McGinley by IAmJack'sUserID	Aug 2nd, 2008 05:28:54 PM

I thought it was Matt Frewer, by Silverhour	Aug 3rd, 2008 02:22:29 PM
That would have been great casting, love him in everything. Don't know who Robert Forster is though.
Cool by gerrit4	Aug 14th, 2008 10:51:13 AM
I like Forster, but the only thing I can think of that he was great in was Jackie Brown. As for the guy who stopped watching after a couple episodes in to Season 2, I don't blame you. The last third or so the show redeems itself and becomes watchable again. Not enough that you "need" to start watching again, but I'll give the third season a try. I won't stick around this time if it goes to shit again.
