This will never happen, but…

Hopefully the Nikki/Micah saga is left behind us and we can forget all about that awfulness and just pretend that Ali Larter always played a character named Tracy, but I just thought of something and I had to share it. I think the whole point of Micah was his ability to control machines and help push the election in Nathan Petrelli’s favor in season 1, right? And remember how Linderman was running the whole show back then? What if, Niki’s power was mind control, and DL’s power was over metal, and people’s genetic powers combined when they mated to make children with a combination of their powers, hence Micah’s ability to control machines. Wouldn’t that be interesting? That could even be a storyline in itself, having people go back in time to set people up so they make babies with the powers they need for their nefarious deeds. Or they could flash forward 20 years in the future where the kids of the present characters have incredible powers. I can see how it could be hard to think of powers that would logically combine into other powers, but I think it could work if it was done properly and would make it more interesting than just being randomly assigned a power. But that’s not the case, and powers seem to be completely random without much thought of genetics and more about what they need for the story at the time. I just think it would be cool if they tried it my way. You hear that Hollywood? Do things my way!

    shawn: That’s awesome.

    “I love my dead gay son!” is, indeed from Heathers, but isn’t the 80′s TV quote “I love my gay son!” *That* line belongs to Blake Carrington.

    You guys are taking me back. Yay TV!
    Cousin Oliver, Andy Keaton, Olivia, Chrissy Seaver.

    john: your power would be telepathy (the first thing I thought when I saw Craig’s Palin’s hair was Captain Flaccid).

    Michelle M.: Too funny! Great minds think alike (or fools reach the same conclusion….).

    Cherie was stuck in the fridge in Punky Brewster wasn’t she?

    Hmm…For me, Palin definitely doesn’t equal flaccid.

    I’m just sayin.

    :-P

    Hmm…For me, Track Palin definitely doens’t equal flaccid.

    Dave S.: She is certainly not ugly, but I feel about her like I do about Kenley: Physical beauty + hideous personality = unattractive.

  7. Dave S. on October 8, 2008 at 2:46 pm

    I’m sorry — did you get the impression that I wanted her for her mind? ;-) It’s purely physical. Though she does have a cute voice too. :-)

    I have no idea what in the hell you are talking about. However, do you ever think about working in television? I think it may be your true calling.

  9. john on October 8, 2008 at 2:58 pm

    No Dave S. I *never* thought you wanted her for her mind. She definitely has the hotness, but she also has a far too large a dose of the crazy for me.

  10. Dave S. on October 8, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    john: Then that would make her insanely hot. :-)

  11. Dave S. on October 8, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    Or hotly insane. :-(

  12. Craig on October 8, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    Andy: I think it is too. Then I can come live in California and we can watch Angels in America whenever we want.

  13. Dave S. on October 8, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    Craig: Totally agree with Andy. Just stop by Columbus on your way to the West Coast.

  14. Andy McEntee on October 8, 2008 at 3:11 pm

    That’s strange that we’re just going to sit around watching the same movie over and over, but whatever. I’m just saying that I work with people that aren’t half as creative as you, and I don’t think I know anyone that watches as much television.
    That’s a good thing by the way. Let me know when you’re ready to come out. You can be my assistant to start off.

  15. Craig on October 8, 2008 at 3:39 pm

    Thank you Andy! I’m flattered you think so highly of me. Would be awesome to pick everything up and just move there, but I don’t make decisions without analyzing them to death. I didn’t wear pants today because I couldn’t decide which leg to put in first.

    If I was your assistant, would I have to call you “sir”? Could I if I wanted to? ;-)

  16. Tam on October 8, 2008 at 4:12 pm

    So what kind of kilt are you wearing today Craig and what are you wearing under it?

  17. Craig on October 8, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    Argyle, naturally. Moisturizer.

  18. shawn on October 8, 2008 at 4:19 pm

    you didn’t wear pants today?! i know it is NYC but…
    i hope it isn’t a cold day there today…
    if someone wants to sit on your lap on the train home today, you will know why…good luck!

  19. Tam on October 8, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    Good to hear. Wouldn’t want any chafing.
