Hey, Asshole, My Water Just Broke
Feb 08I must belatedly comment on the brilliant casting of Jessalyn Gilsig as Claire’s biomommy on Heroes. Gilsig was so damn brilliant as crazy Gina on Nip/Tuck, I can’t believe FX hasn’t yet created some edgy/trashy show just for her, wherein she plays a boozy, foul-mouthed competitive racecar driver or maybe a profanity-spewing drug addict/accountant. Oh, well. Their loss is NBC’s gain, and how cool that her power is shooting flames out of her fingers, which is seriously the superpower I have always wanted!
And now I’m afraid I have to turn around and chastise the net or the powers that be or basically whoever creates the Heroes promos. Nathan being Claire’s dad was a fantastic reveal, but it would have been EVEN BETTER if they hadn’t teased it to all hell and showed that shot of a besuited man sitting down at a desk. Because from the way they teased it, we knew it had to be someone we already knew. And who else on the show can claim a torso that is always nattily decked out in a suit? (Sidenote: I once had the opportunity to meet Adrian Pasdar and he was dressed just like Nathan. A friend speculated that he simply never leaves home without his trusty suit. It’s like his Adrian Pasdar Uniform.)
In any case, I guess this means an end to all those moony-eyed Claire/Peter Petrelli fanfics, right? Right?!
