Eulogy for Another Dead Black Guy on Heroes

By Lisa Fary

Oh, Captain Lubbock. We barely knew you. In true Heroes-verse minority fashion, you went too soon.

Let’s look back on our times with Captain Lubbock. Times like. . .

  • That time he was a big, scary, abusive cop.
  • That time Sylar threw him through a window.
  • That time he died.

However, this couldn’t sour the awesome sauce that was a Ghostbuster in my Heroes. I just wish we could have had more time.

Heroes, while I appreciate that you took my Ernie Hudson suggestion, I’m disappointed that you ignored the rest of my request. You know, the part where I specifically asked you not to kill him off.

At least we have the promise of Ghostbusters III, complete with Winston Zeddemore, in 2012.

  1. SunuvaBITCH!! Something told me to NOT check Pinkraygun.com before watching Heroes (I was at the movies watching Black Dynamite..(HOLY SHIT, movie of the DECADE)

    I just talked with that man at Big Apple Comic-Con…he shoulda told me they were killin' him off..but I should have expected as much….how many Black heroes are ON "Heroes"?…hmm?..anyone?? Yeah….THAT many! Damn the "Heroes" writers in the FACE for killing off Mr. Hudson's character! That man is a class act and deserves better…now all that's left is for them to kill off Ray "Darth Maul" Park and I'll be completely done with the show!……..DAMNIT!!!

    Wait, is this the "big kill?" I thought they were going to kill off some like Parkman or Peter or (hopefully) Sylar.

    That's cheating, Heroes. That's why I don't watch you anymore.
