well, as i mentioned before, i'm very excited about nbc's new show heroes.
so much so that i've read every square inch of the show's website, complete with video clips, character bios, and other juicy little tidbits of info.
i was excited to learn that the show has an incredibly diverse cast. as mentioned before, masi oka plays a japanese man who can teleport, but also of interest are santiago cabrera (latino) as isaac mendez (a premonition-having, heroin-addicted artist) and sendhil ramamurthy (indian) as mohinder suresh (a psychologist whose recently killed father did research on human evolution). i'm so happy to see the newer hit shows on television (lost, grey's anatomy) with such racially diverse casts... and in a way that the non-caucasian characters are not sequestered to filling supporting roles.
in other heroes news, after reading some interviews with ali larter, i must say that i may have spoken too soon about her presence in this ensemble cast. the more i learn about her character on the show, the more i think she may be an appropriate cast. we'll see. i'm still not wholly won over.
and finally, it seems that my previous post may have caught the attention of one of my favoritely named cast members. it seems none other than miss tawny cypress managed to find her way to this blog, and we're very happy to welcome her.
i will gladly affirm that ms. cypress is neither a stripper nor a drag queen. no, no, ms. cypress is, in fact, an able actress with several credits to her name. i'm very interested in her character on heroes as well. tawn-tawns (hope you don't mind if i call you that, ms. cypress) plays simone deveraux (hello, another awesome name... this gal is so lucky). simone is isaac's (read: junky, psychic artist's) girlfriend... and knows mr. peter petrelli (aka milo ventimiglia). simone may be the first link the show has between two of the muties... and that spells excitement in my book.
monday, september 25 cannot come soon enough!

Are you even going to tell us how Arizona was, or post any BEAUTIFUL AZ photos???
I am thrilled to death about this show.
Perhaps it'll be more compelling than Misfits of Science and give us a superhero tv show for a few years!
wanted you to be the first to know... the Moonlighting post is up.
cheers.
I'm sure Tawny is a nice person and all, but if ever there was a name destined for porn, it is "Tawny."
The trailers for this show just caught my attention tonight during the Emmys. Now I'm very much looking forward to it.
