By TrinityVixen The show is called Heroes. It just happens also to star people with superpowers. Those people bemoan their fate, abuse their abilities, and generally make bitches of themselves. But the ones who have to fight for their position and counter supernatural advantages with only the best average humanity has to offer, well, they’re [...]

By Heather Cee Katie Vasser may be overtaking Laura Roslin as my favorite woman on television. I know. I KNOW. This is huge.

For a full season and a quarter, inquiring geeks have debated and flamed over who would be the logical victor in a conflict between a power nullifier and a power absorber.
