You've recently had several ... | Matt Roush | 1/26/2007
Question: You've recently had several questions regarding Heroes and how the characters feel about their powers, especially Niki. I completely agree with your assessment that the heroes are learning, and some are more comfortable than others with their abilities. I imagine that Christopher Eccleston's character will bring a new outlook. I've read on TVGuide.com that he has had his powers for a while and is comfortable with them and with who he is. Do you see his character influencing the characters he meets? Does he help them become more aware or more comfortable, possibly even proud? Also, are you looking forward to this amazing British actor joining the cast? I am. Answer: All of your questions/theories are good ones, and I hope they come to pass as Claude makes his presence known to the other heroes, although I'm also hoping that there will always be some ambivalence among the heroes — that makes good drama. I enjoyed Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who (and in the sensational... read more be the first to leave a comment
My wife and I are old sci-fi ... | Matt Roush | 6/30/2006
Question: My wife and I are old sci-fi geeks, and it was a true pleasure to discover the Doctor Who episodes running on Sci Fi. Not only does the series look great — embarrassingly so, compared to the original cult show — but it is also wonderfully casted. I know that the first season is over, and that the amazing humor of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor is now but a fond memory, but will the show keep Billie Piper as Rose Tyler in the second season? And is this a Sci Fi original, as my wife thinks, or an import from the BBC in England? And finally, when does the new season start? For all the comments that have been made in your column about science-fiction shows on television, I have to say that this is the best there is right now, except for Battlestar Galactica. Answer: I guess a spoiler alert is called for here, but the news from abroad is that Billie Piper, who continues in the second season alongside new Doctor David Tennant, will not return in the third season. As for... read more be the first to leave a comment
