This week, TNT decided it was time to make a play for the coveted Bob Sassone demographic¹. That, of course, meant a guest starring gig for Amy Sedaris. And dang, what a good bit of casting that was. Last week I said that Stroh was one of my favorite villains ever on the show. This week, I can easily say that Sedaris, as Claire, is one of my favorite guest stars ever.

Ivey’s back Guest-clacking for us again….

Let me first say that I do not believe that Daphne is dead. At least, I think she’s Heroes dead (still alive) and not Lost dead (not alive, but we’ll see them again). I refuse to believe that the first somewhat interesting new character I’ve managed to care for on this show since, well, Elle (and, honestly, Eve before her) has been gunned down for no real reason. That, and I saw an image of her in my BBQ sandwich today, so I know she’s safe.

But, since they keep killing the people I like, I figured we’d play a little game of spin the bottle. Not the version where we manage to get Mohinder and Peter to hook up (Because honestly, they’re meant for each other), but the one where we get to pronounce to the world who we THINK should buck the kicket.

Ivey’s back Guest-clacking for us again….

So, if we are to believe the NBC promotions department, the fourth season of Heroes began this week. I guess I’m just a bit old school, and think that season four is scheduled to start in September.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the Claire character on Lost. I’ve always found her slightly annoying, mostly due to her propensity to walk up and down the beach yelling “Chah-leee!” at the top of her lungs. It drove me nuts.

When her rocker boyfriend sacrificed himself to get his fellow castaways saved I found myself a lot more sympathetic to the island’s blonde mommy. Besides being far less annoying, she’s been given a big juicy mythological plot. She’s not just being pregnant, whining at Charlie, and getting kidnapped. Instead she seems to have up and disappeared. This all leads to one big question – what the hell is Claire’s deal these days?
