Heroes

After all the forward progress in terms of pacing that the show has made in the last couple of weeks, it’s a shame to have such a filler episode thrown in our faces this week. Still, there were a few good moments, most of them towards the end, to avoid it being a letdown. And Tracy was in it.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: Going to the circus and hoping her pal doesn’t end up in prison

22 October 2009 Rob Buckley Post a comment

A very random week for Ali Larter this week. First up, she’s been going to the circus for the opening of the Cirque de Soleil’s Kooza.

But she’s also been hoping that her pal, Ali – is there a club or something that all Ali’s belong to? Do they have regular meetings? – isn’t going to prison for hacking people’s voicemail. Oh, and it’s Tracy week again in Heroes graphic novel land.

Must be strong and remember she’s only going to be a redhead while she’s filming the new Resident Evil movie. How long can that take?

Have you seen Ali Larter acting randomly? If so, let us know and we’ll tell everyone about it in “Random Acts of Ali Larter“

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
