(There were no photos of my cat anywhere on this blog. This oversight has now been corrected.)Another season of Heroes has ended with both a whimper and a bang, and I'm scrambling to find ways to fill this blog with new material during the long dry spell ahead of us. While I'm thinking on this, here's a look at some of the current crop of keywords people have used to find this site:
who played the water breathing boy heroes
He was cute, wasn't he? I had to look this one up: Alex was played by Justin Baldoni. I don't know a thing about him. According to Heroes Wiki, "Baldoni's breakout role was in the television movie Spring Break Shark Attack, in which he starred as a sexual predator." Okay, then.
who plays sylar's mother on heroes?
That'd be Little Shop of Horror's awesome Ellen Greene.
who plays agent taub on heroes
Gabriel Olds, who, my sister reminds me, starred in the quasi-futuristic dystopic thriller Animal Room with Neil Patrick Harris and Matthew Lillard. Haven't seen Animal Room? Think A Clockwork Orange, only not, y'know, good.
heroes original hot brunette shape shifter
Hot brunette Candice was played by hot brunette Reaper star Missy Peregrym.
on heroes, what was the roy orbison song angela petrelli was fond of?
Crying ("Cry-y-y-y-ing over you...")
ellen cylon pretty in pink
Yup. Kate Vernon, who played Battlestar Galactica's Final Cylon Ellen Tigh, is near and dear to my eighties-loving heart for her performance as James Spader's mean slutty rich girlfriend Benny in Pretty in Pink.
99 luftballoons apocalypse about the
Yeah. 99 Luftballoons is a lively eighties pop tune about a bunch of balloons that accidentally trigger a nuclear attack. Seriously, you just don't hear many breakout hit songs about nuclear annihilation anymore.
chapter ten '1961' heroes boring
1961 jumping the shark heroes
You'll get no argument here.
mohinder should not be a bug also talking turtle
I can't disagree with any of that, either.
danko/sylar slash
Without investigating further, I am absolutely positively certain this exists somewhere. Possibly in large quantities.
heroes claire hair cut volme 4
Not that there's anything wrong with Hayden Panettiere's natural hair, but in Volume Four, she wore a wig.
heroes starts film in july for volume redemption
According to Wendi, the very helpful key makeup artist, Heroes is starting up again in June. For Heroes fans who use Twitter, Wendi's is a good one to follow.
heroes volume 4 finale was weak
heroes volume four sucks
heroes was terrible chapter 4
is anybody else really enjoying heroes volume 4?
I enjoyed it. Didn't think it sucked, didn't think it was terrible. Did I want more from it? Yeah.
mohinder suresh beautiful
Heck, yeah. Ridiculously so.
sendhil ramamurthy & usc
I know of no connection between lovely Sendhil and my despised alma mater. Sendhil's too nice for USC. Before attending drama school in London, he was pre-med at Tufts. The guy has layers.
heroes "previously on" never seen
They do that sometimes, sticking footage we've never seen in the "Previously On..."s, and it's definitely irksome.
worst scene in heroes
Today, I'm going to go with Peter railing at Jesus in "Into Asylum." Maybe it wasn't the worst episode ever, but sheesh, that was an awful scene.
tobias menzies penis
Dude. This one always, always shows up in my site statistics, every month, without fail. I have no idea why so many people are interested in Tobias's penis, and I'm too afraid to investigate further.
Comments
Why do I love your keyword searches so much?
And I'm with Ingrid, your keyword searches are awesome. I keep meaning to rip this idea off for my own blog, but all my searches are boring. Maybe I have to delve deeper down the list...
It occurs to me that the person searching for "sendhil ramamurthy & usc" might have meant the University of South Carolina instead of the University of Southern California. I am Los Angelescentric, naturally enough. For the record, I don't know any connection between Mr. Ramamurthy and the other USC, either.
The vast majority of my keywords are pretty mundane (right now, of the top twenty searches, ten are some variation on "preppies of the apocalypse"). The further you go down that list, Dan, the more gems you'll find...
Good tip - there were indeed some good'uns once I got wallowing in the depths. I don't know what 'the tom welling navel porn' is and I don't think I ever want to know. But I'm pleased to report it's not at my web site.
My suggestion is to keep with the Star Trek guest appearances as they've worked best. So my suggestion is:
William Shatner as, wait for it, Claire's grandfather. He would be Meredith's father and have a realy great power that we would only discover later on.
Patrick, I can't imagine why The Shatner hasn't already appeared on Heroes. It seems like an oversight. (Gratuitous name-dropping time: I met Shatner when he made an appearance on Talk Soup, and, counter to all expectations, he was a delight: professional and fricking hilarious. Weird, huh?) As to future big-name guest stars, I'll have to give this some serious thought. You're right in that both Forster and Glover's appearances had so, so much potential... which kinda got squandered. Maybe the key is to ease up a bit on the Evil Dads? I'd like to see Heroes introduce a villain who is not related in any way to any of our main characters.
Easily fifteen percent. I'd guess closer to twenty. And don't get me started on the number of people fascinated by the possibility of a homoerotic subtext to... well, anything, really, but particularly Smallville.
(heh. My most popular web page is a sleazy review of an awful x-rated anime series. I'm no stranger to the lure of a few well-placed spicy keywords.)
Yeah, apparently people online are really into sex. Go figure. Me, I'm just trying to resist the urge to Google "Tobias Menzies penis" just to see what all these people visiting my site know that I don't.
And with all this chat, no doubt climbing rapidly.
Dan, are you suggesting that there are people out there who watch Smallville for something besides the homoerotic subtext? Really?
Well, according to my log files, a surprising number also apparently watch for 'Kryptonian symbols'.
Gay porn enthusiasts and cryptographers - that's the Smallville demographic.
My reasons for watching Smallville (inasmuch as I can be bothered these days):
1. The homoerotic subtext.
2. John Glover (note: reason no longer applicable)
3. Michael Rosenbaum (note: reason no longer applicable)
4. Green Arrow goes shirtless a lot.
5. That Remy Zero theme song.
6. The homoerotic subtext
7. It features an Ashmore twin (arguably the wrong twin)
8. The bizarre parade of Battlestar Galactica guest stars (Crashdown, Helo, Tyrol, Gaeta... look, if ever two shows should have absolutely no common ties, it'd be BSG and Smallville)
