I was lucky enough to see this episode at Comic Con in July of 2008, surrounded by the writers and some of the minor cast members, with the main cast and Kring watching as well - for some of the cast it was the first time they’d seen the episode all the way through. It was in Hall H, and the people I was with had been waiting since the night before to get in - I’d been lucky enough to arrange to show up at four in the morning with donuts and bagels and a box of Starbucks coffee, so I was able to join them.
About 90 minutes before Hall H opened, reps from Universal came through the crowd, starting in the front, and had us draw tickets out of bags - 250 people were going to get to meet the cast of The Mummy, 250 more to Pineapple Express, 250 to Land of the Lost, etc. I managed to score the ticket to Pineapple Express, and a friend had a conflict so she gave me her Mummy ticket.
Yes, meeting the cast members was awesome, and the Making of the Mummy book I got (signed) was brilliant, and I was allowed to get some bears signed for my friend Lisa’s Bears for Breast Cancer thing and James Franco in person was adorable.
But that episode of Heroes, when we hadn’t seen the show since February because of the writers’ strike that year, was absolutely perfect.
And we thought it was the start of another wonderful season, as perfect as the first one had been.
Well. Maybe notsomuch.
Sherlock and Heroes crossover. How many secrets are there in Baskerville?
Well, this explains a lot. I love the idea of mashing up the show with the awesome concept and just OMGWTFAREYOUDOING do you not remember what happened two episodes ago?!?!?! and the show of complete precision, accuracy and continuity.
OMG Sylar is in the White House!
Didn’t we see that in S1 of Heroes?
(This isn’t the White House, is it?)

A man whom police are hailing as a hero in Wednesday’s deadly shooting at a Seattle’s cafe braved gunfire to hurl barstools at the suspect. Identified by police only as “Lawrence,” the man says he didn’t hesitate to put his life in danger, emboldened by the memory of his brother ….
Lawrence’s actions allowed three customers to escape, according to police. Four others died when Ian L. Stawicki, 40, allegedly unleashed a barrage of bullets inside Café Racer, a University District joint popular with music fans and artists. Two of the men killed were folk musicians and best friends; an aspiring actress and an urban planner also died. Half an hour after the slayings, a mother of two was shot and killed downtown. Police believe Stawicki was responsible for both shootings; the mentally ill man fatally shot himself Wednesday afternoon as police cornered him in West Seattle.

heidi, didn’t you already make this video?
Why, yes, I did! But with many more fandoms in it: Heroes (Petrellis), Supernatural (Winchesters), Glee (Andersons), Sherlock (Holmses), as well as Loki and Thor (Odinsons). It is definitely the Brother-Angst Song of 2012!

favourite pilot episodes | heroes [where does it come from, this quest? this need to solve life’s mysteries with the simplest of questions can never be answered. why are we here? what is the soul? why do we dream? perhaps we’d be better off not looking at all - not delving, not yearning. that’s not human nature. not the human heart. that is not why we are here.]
One of the best pilots of any show, possibly since Twin Peaks. And it still holds up.
Where did it lose the thread?
#WE COULD HAVE HAD IT AAAAAAAAAAAALL BUT THEN SHE WAS YOUR NIEEEEEEEEEECE
Ha! But this was Heroes. Have you seen him and his brother?

(And then the actors dated for what seemed like two years, right?)
