Fun, Feasts and Tattoos!

Oh what interesting lives the Sullivan Bro. carnies lead! Never a dull moment there. The only thing dull was goody-Claire-who-can't-be-killed who was still moaning about the same Daddy issues from Season 1.

I am talking about the 2-hour "Heroes" opener this week of course! Lots of motives revealed and heavy-breathing sexual overtures - thanks to lots of shirtless Sylar! (I luuurve youuuuu writers!! *muah!*)

I liked that they did not over-kill the emo-ness of Nathan Petrelli's passing away. It was portrayed with sombre dignity enveloped by that undeniable understatement of grief. I have to give kudos to Milo for not playing it too dramatically. His eyes semi-red and almost always brimming with tears; that quietness when he said "I have a love-hate relationship with roof tops" with a half-sad-smile - was just ace.

From Ommmmm to Lean Muscles

The paps must have got wind of Zach's yoga haunt. In place of the constant Zach-Noah walking posts, I've noticed that his yoga mat has been making more appearances than his cute furry companion these days!!

And oh, to be his yoga mat. Carried by those nice ZQ biceps! If you wonder how you could go about building up not-too-bulky arm muscles, some nice abs, and lots of core strength while still attaining peace of mind and focus, yoga is it. (I highly recommend pilates too!)

I go for my yoga classes at least twice a week. I wish I could attend more classes but I'm unable to shuffle away my other commitments. To those who are unaware, there are many different kinds of yoga - ashtanga, hatha, vinyasa, bikram, kundalini..... I even recently attended one called tapas yoga. And no .. it sadly didn't involve serving us some tapas (like a ZQ one.. nom nom...) while we were doing poses. Tapas means "fire" in Sanskit and the session was meant to create heat or "fire" within our bodies through breathing exercises combined with the asanas. It was an interesting class to say the least.

Festive with Sweaters.. and then..

... we'll SAVE THE WORLD!! \(-__-)/

Oops. I was getting excited there. That's cause I just heard a few hours ago that Sylar was going to save the world - as we Heroes fans know it. And why not?? Since he has an ever-ready Sylar's Army to do his bidding?? :D Plus, I bet he'll be flexing those sexy biceps while doing the saving.

Don't believe me? Check this seductive Sylar voiced-promo vid at TheODI.com! The promo is for the two-hours of Heroes when the show returns on January 4th!

Sylar Hungry, Sylar Nailed

*narrows eyes* I am beginning to suspect the "Heroes" writers are up to no good when it comes to Sylar. They seem to be turning up the Sylar-bad-assness a few notches in the past two weeks' episodes.

In "Thanksgiving", Sylar feeling very STARVED, made me feel very HUNGRY too. Watching him dig into that pie, makes me imagine all things nom nom nom. :D If you are not convinced, click here!

Sylar was also being very naughty kissing Mommy Petrelli. Oooh. Me envious. O_O

And as for this week's "The Fifth Stage" -- yes, I am indeed *very* aware that Sylar Got NAILED. Peter, damn it. It was suppose to me doing the nailing!! *pout*

Scruffy Vulcan+Grandpa Sweaters = Sexy

The above equation summed up what transpired last week in the world of Zach. I am quite sure it is very mathematically sound ;) and I do not think Spock would even consider it illogical.

It was also logical that the interwebs were hyped up last week. They have been actively monitoring the frequency of the long-awaited Star Trek (2009) movie DVD/ Blu-ray release, and have been going all aurally and linguistically Vulcan (or Romulan, if the case may be) with the various leaked previews and screencaps. The Aussies seemed to have gotten theirs the earliest. Since I'm living closer to the Land of Down Under, I had ordered my Ltd Edition DVD from an Aus online shop and got mine a week early too.

Well Suited Surrender

After having epic Retro Black Hat Sylar and the mash-up of S1 Heroes with a S4 twist last week - an episode which I enjoyed tremendously - I felt a little bored with this week's "Shadow Boxing".

"Once Upon A Time in Texas" felt like soul food. Kudos to @natiejay for his awesome directing work. Credit must be given because it was his first directing debut too! The flow was almost seamless and I felt wistful again about the distant memory of S1 Heroes. I was so impressed with the episode that I sent @natiejay a tweet with my compliments.

This week's episode was full of Sylar win although I was bored with the Claire and Emma segments (psstt writers... can we have more of the carnies PLEASE). Indeed, I was very bicepstually pleased. The downside of this was that I had difficulty concentrating on the rest of the storyline whenever Sylar's molestably-furry arms appeared. So don't let me go on about the other delectable scenes, like those which involved romp-able Urban Outfitters bedsheets and what those of us on Tumblr would call... extreme Pantene hair porn.

Oh Noes!

... the season for spending is coming!! O_O And in that spirit of spending, I just ordered the Ltd Ed Aus version of the Enterprise Star Trek (2009) DVD from EzyDVD that came with the USS Enterprise replica model. WOOHOO! Can't wait for it to arrive!

As the Aus release was much earlier than the N American release, several screencaps of the DVD extras and features have already surfaced on the internet. And some were really funny! The Star Trek (2009) gag real that was leaked a few weeks ago is particularly stomach-burstingly hilarious. Spock with an Irish accent - FTW! (laughs in memory of those last couple of minutes)

Here's what you "might not have seen" from the gag reel ;) CLICK HERE!

Zach sure made good use of those lean biceps of his while filming Star Trek (2009). There was a segment in the gag reel where he took a really good but unfortunate shot at Captain Fine... and although I haven't actually seen the bonus features yet - he seemed to have been laughing quite a lot with *palm(s) to face*. I think it must be really hard to keep a straight face when you're standing in front of Simon Pegg! hehehe
