i was always a fan of rory gilmore's bad-boy boyfriend jess. he was dark, mysterious, and way cooler than rory. these days, he's playing one peter petrelli, hospice murse turned superhero.

i will admit that i was late to jump on the heroes bandwagon. i'm all about the instant gratification that can be had by watching a whole season of a tv show in a weekend, sans commercials. err, not that i watched it all in a whole weekend or anything--i'm just sayin'...

this show is essentially the x-men, and i've also heard it compared to neil gaiman's the watchmen...but i don't care. it's awesome. i love that it's set up like a comic book. and that it's kind of cheesy, but cute (i'm talking hiro here). and despite an early equal distribution of my love between peter, mojinder, sylar, and HRG (horn-rimmed glasses--props to anna)--peter has forged ahead an won my affection.

how could a girl not love a man who can fly, become invisible, regenerate, light things on fire, read minds, and kick ass? and to the men out there--you know he's secretly your man-crush.

just admit it...we'll totally agree.
