edit: If you need another Tickian character, I have one more bizzare idea that's been floating around in my head. The ninja bounty hunter, Cross Stitch.
Wearing a hand-sewn body suit, wielding a rapier sized needle with a trailing chain, Cross Stitch stalks the night, hunting his prey. Thrown in some knitting needle shuriken, and you're all set.
I don't know why, but I love this idea of a guy who captures you by anchoring a 3-foot steel spike in some (relatively) non-vital part of your body and then tries to use the attached chain to tie you up. Kusarigama, eat your heart out.

| Yeah. Not my kind of holiday. There's nothing wrong with the original premise, nor the one before that, but to turn it to a commercial shopfest? No thanks...
Yeah, I'm quickly becoming one of those grumpy old men sitting on a park bench and looking miserable, complaining about youth these days... | |

As a matter of fact my favorite Sliders episode is Love Gods. I honestly wish that peace and love would have swept the globe, and that cpaitalism would have been crushed.
Oh well, guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. My family celebrates Christmas, old fashioned style. We don't buy each other presentss. Instead we make our presents. | |

I knew that perfectly well when writing that, and it is meant both as a paradox and a point of view, because depending on who you ask, either one could be the "original" | |

Seriously, if Pa Patrelli has the powers to time travel when ever he wants and send people to what ever hell he desires, then why didn't he do that earlier and steal "the light" from Hiro's mom or from Claire when she was a baby? That's not even mentioning the fact that they once again messed up the time line and retconed the series for the umpteenth time this season. THEN after tossing everything into the toilet they decided to give the Haitian and unexplainable Power Nerf. This episode was so bad that I'm seriously considering going back to 24 this spring even though I hated the last season. Quote:

I wish Heroes had someone like Doc Brown. The episode soooo needed him due to all the time paradoxes they introduced....

| Actually, I thought the episode was pretty good probably until the same time you did about. The thing with the Haitian surprised me because they never before mentioned anything about someone with a greater strength being able to break through it eventually. And for the thing with Pa Patrelli, yeah... wtf dude... So he went back in time to grab the Catalyst from Hiro... that just hurts my brain. And then he dies. What happened with the Catalyst after that anyway?
I LIKED what they were doing with mixing up the good guys and the bad guys in the beginning of the season, but then as everything sorts itself out, pretty much everyone goes and returns to their normal self anyway...
Although near the end when the marine gets his power I was thinking 'wouldn't it have been AWESOME if he ended up killing Nathan, Mohinder and whatshername?' Woulda made me a happy viewer.

| Advil? Something stronger would be better... like a metal slug in the Producer's head. It's sad when you watch a show and think, "Why don't they higher some writers from the real world, anything is more interesting then this crap that they are passing as a must see tv series."
