Heroes Season 1 DVD

In case you missed our show on Saturday we spent a bunch of time talking about the DVD's for Heroes Season 1. They are jam packed with special features including deleted scenes, commentaries, various featurettes, etc... If you've been watching the show you will certainly want the DVD's for the special features and to rewatch the episodes. If you haven't seen Heroes yet then what's wrong with you? But seriously you really should check it out and this DVD set will have you all ready for when season 2 premiers. The DVD's come out tomorrow (Tuesday, August 28) and Geek World gives them a seal of approval. They are also available on HDDVD.

Super Mars

In case you haven't heard yet the beautiful Kristen Bell will be joining the cast of Heroes. We have enjoyed her work in Veronica Mars, and Reefer Madness: The Musical and as huge Heroes fans we couldn't be happier. She has been tapped to play a mysterious could be good could be bad new character attached closely to H.R.G. and Claire. All we know so far is that she will be introduced committing a serious crime and her character will progress from there. So far it's only certain that she will be in a few episods but come on this is friggin Kristen Bell you can't cancel Kristen Bell. Veronica Mars may be gone but the sleuthing blonde will go on! I really don't have much more than that to say other than that. Kristen is always a great choice!!

Update: Word has it that she will be on for at least 13 episodes. Booya!

Star Trek XI: Search For Sylar?

This goes under the catagory of wild rumor. My informat "Stupid Sister" found this little tidbit that originated at CHUD.COM and then was posted here TrekWeb
So Zachary Quinto from Heroes, everyones favorite brain jonesing super-villain Sylar is supposedly in negotiations to play Spock in J.J. Abrams retooling of the Star Trek franchise. Keep in mind as I've said total rumor, but so are all of the actors being mentioned for the coveted three main roles (Kirk, Spock, Bones).
This is what Quinto told Starburst Magazine a few months ago about the possibility of playing Spock
"I tend to be the type of person who acts from a very visceral place and reacts emotionally to situations, and to 'become' a character that is completely the opposite of that is one of the reasons why I'm an actor. I would love the opportunity to understand what it is to only operate from a place of logic and look at things so specifically from that perspective."

That's cool and everything but isn't Sylar really logic based and devoid of emotion? Either way if there's any truth to this rumor I'm cool with it. Quinto's work in Heroes is stellar (albeit his charecter is one of the more fascinating Super Villians we've seen in years) and I think he certainly looks the part, being he's tall and slender and has dark hair. It's exciting too because if he gets Spock then along with Spock's "Vulcan Neck Pinch", telepathy, and mind-melds they can also add in "Creepy Eye Glare".
Earlier casting rumors had Acadamy Award winning Adrien Brody playing Spock, which I'm also ok with, though for some reason I see Brody being a little more of humorious version of Spock than Quinto, which might be good if it's a lighter version of Star Trek. They also said Matt Damon is up for Kirk and Gary Sinese for Bones (Emily Deschanel could not be reached for a comment), I think the latter would be perfect for the grumpy old docter. I also am a fan of Matt Damon, and think he'd be a great Kirk, but in my opinion there's some one even better for the role. Keep in mind this is purely my opinion and it has no basis in either real news or even internet rumors but I think Ryan Gosling would be perfect as a young James T. Kirk. He's got indy and studio cred, he's blonde, and I think he could really pull off the cocky space cowboy persona that makes Kirk freaking awesome. If thats not enough for you he's also canadian, just like Shat.

Either way good luck to all of those actors, they're all good in my book.

Thanks to Chud.com, TrekWeb.com, Starburst Magazine, Nbc.com and IMDB for the goods.

Geek World at the Heroes Press Conference Part 1

So yesterday we had the opportunity to go to the HEROES World Tour Press Conference. What did we learn? A whole lot but most importantly to geeks like us that everyone that works on the show Heroes seem to be the nicest people in Hollywood. We had the great pleasure to interview cast members and the creator. If you tune in to kclafm.com on Saturday night 7pm PST (10pm EST) you can hear our interviews and hear all about it! Also we are getting geekwordradio.com all set. Keep checking to see our progress.
