Ellen: When Linus explains the true meaning of Christmas, I always cry.

Jonathan: Awwww.

Jonathan: I cry whenever David Caruso comes on the screen.

Ellen: A beagle named Emmy. Who came from the shelter with that name. I would never name a dog after an awards show that lame.

Jonathan: We changed out dog's name when we got him. It had been "Buddy."

Ellen: You got the Clintons' dog? Wow.

boomfoxx: You've got a Heroes character in mind? I have 2. The Mexican brother/sister pair who have the most boring storyline going on.

Dom: "Heroes" certainly could use a house cleaning. Is there such a thing as too many heroes lol? Anyway, good start with offing Maya's brother. Next one is Maya and her mascara bleeding eyes. Dumb

Ellen: I chose David Anders, the guy who played Takezo Kensei in those 16th century Japan segments we all hated. And now it turns out he's like immortal (unless you shoot him in the head) and he's messing around in the present. Hate him.

Jonathan: (That was one reason we changed "Buddy's" name. Now it's Woody.)

Ellen: I'll admit I don't like the Maya storyline very much, but I did like the idea that this show that's so diverse had finally discovered Latinos. But the eye thing is really annoying.

Jonathan: Maybe they could get Sarah Michelle Gellar to come in and stake that immortal between the eyes.

Ellen: Even she's not been as interesting in Heroes as I expected. Her narrative of Gossip Girl is actually better. Though you don't get to see her.

Jonathan: She was Buffy, not Veronica Mars. Veronica would tape record the guy with some incriminating evidence and make him go away.

Ellen: You're right. I had a blonde moment.

Jonathan: Kristen Bell is Veronica/Narrator. Both Kristen and Sarah are perky and hot.

Jamie: i don't think heroes needs to lose characters - just learn that it doesn't need to use them all in an episode - a la Lost.

Jonathan: Just like me.

Ellen: Well, it all comes back to the writing. And Lost hasn't always played well with its crowd. Remember how annoyed people were with those episodes that dealt so much with The Others? It's a constant balancing act, and I'll admit that few of us take the long view anymore.

TV Guy: L & O always found great ways to make their characters go away, car wrecks, bodies in trunk, even getting fired. If you are going to lose a character, make it stand out, not a lame-o walk away, i'm burned out.

Jonathan: Yes, but Sara was so soulful. She just had to walk away.
