Thoughts 

From what I’ve seen and read Sunny is Olga’s daughter probably 10 years old now. She was taken by the Patriots in MGS2.

More to follow.

All of this will be revealed later on in TGS.

Stars

September 17, 2007

He looked at the stars wondering what secrets they held and what they had witnessed till now. All those years of staying in one place staring down at the mundane planet would have made him bored, but they weren’t him were they? Did they stay in one place or did they move around? Or was it just a draped illusion to ensure that people never questioned what lay beyond their existence of their so called entity of rock that they resided on. Didn’t they want to know what was out there? Or was this what they wanted him to think? Question his beliefs; fed lies since birth, programmed to believe what he was supposed to believe and then to act upon what they taught him. He was no more than a simple device controlled by an operating system and programs installed, so he functioned the way he should, his fate sealed since birth. What was the point of living if he didn’t have control over his life? He couldn’t even pull the plug if he wanted to. But he knew one thing. He was supposed to enjoy the dark sky filled with those glittering snow globes and forget what he had thought about just now.

‘What are you thinking about?’ the girl in white asked him. He looked at her; her coiled locks ruffled in the strong wind as the vessel made its way to its destination.

‘Just looking at the stars’ he smiled.

She smiled back.

Should he? Shouldn’t he?

September 16, 2007

There he was staring into the black abyss of the open sea; the waves strolled down to his feet and went away, the moon gathered its pride and shown its articulate presence onto the abyss once in awhile, making it not black but gray and sometimes silvery lines that glistened on the waves. But this wasn’t the story of neither the moon nor the waves. This was the story of him pondering whether or not to perpetuate on his work. Should he continue? Or should he bring one of his favorite past times to an end to make room for his other endeavors?
He mulled it over knowing that an answer would soon be in his grasp come the dawn of light.

The Most Over-Hyped Show on Television Returns…

September 1, 2007

 

heroes-season-2-promos1.jpg

You know what show I’m talking about. Heroes!

The show tries to be something it’s not; which is trying to recreate the comic book era of Superheroes into a worthy television show. Most of the people who read comic books have given up on the show mostly due to the lack luster season finale. Like my sister once said, it felt like a Hindi Movie ( no offence to Hindi movies )where all the characters reunite at the last moment to fight the big baddie, the lil girl find’s a home with the lil boy and his parents etc etc.

Sylar was supposed to die, as Isaac’s comic foretold, for the future to be safe. His body was later dragged into a pothole in the ground and nobody even bothered to find out what happened to him?! Lazy…lazy writing.

Now they are trying to milk the show for all it’s worth; having a world tour, a spin off series, comic books. This is going to blow up in their face as we all know most of the hit series have bit of the second season syndrome ala Prison Break, Desperate Housewives, Lost (which has regained its footing and have retaken their place as the best show on TV ) and many others.

And to top it all off they are adding a lot of cast members to their already overgrown cast. Kristin Bell as someone from Peter,HRG’s and Clair’s past as well David Ander’s of Alias fame as Takezo Kensei and many others. I don’t know how they are going to occupy all those characters in one season to give us one great story.

Well they are many Heroes fan’s out there. Am I wrong about the second season going to blow up in our faces like Peter was supposed to? Let’s hear your thoughts.

Heroes returns September 24th.
