Dancing with the Stars/Heroes Thoughts

No spoilers ...

DwtS: Apolo and Julianne = Love (and crappy, crappy music tonight).

That is all.

Heroes, just a general thought on two characters/actors.

Kring screwed up. Seriously, of ALL the characters he could have picked to be related, he had to pick the two played by actors with tremendous chemistry. Hayden P. and Milo V. have such a chemical onscreen connection and the fact that Claire/Peter are Uncle/Niece just strikes me as such a waste every second they spend on screen together.

Sigh.

If it's any help, I'm kind of wondering if the related reveal might turn out to be fake. I don't know, I just had that impression last night with the touching of the face and then I was surprised to read two other people posting the same thing today. Maybe it's wishful thinking but maybe, just maybe, it might turn out that there's more going on than we think.

And I agree with your comments re Apolo/Juliane. I'm sure they will have the encore too so I plan to look closely at it again. I do think they are dancing on a higher, more difficult level (which at times makes the dance a little too cluttered with tricks) but they are excellent.

On a completely unrelated note - did you see Ausiello's VM more likely to get renewed post? With the FBI format? (head pounding on desk). If it's renewed without Jason, I will not be watching. I somehow think Rob Thomas has made a deal with Wolfram and Hart because these constant near escapes from ratings death just continue to astound me.

I'm hoping that it will turn out that Peter was adopted by Mama Petrelli like Claire was by HRG. After all, he's always, ALWAYS, been portrayed as noticeably different from the rest of his family. And Hayden did comment "you never know" when she was told about the P/C contingent after the reveal of her parentage.

Re: Apolo/Julianne. I think part of the reason he didn't get pinged for the slip is because it wasn't his fault. When Julianne came sliding towards him, SHE slid a bit too far and threw HIM off-balance, he recovered quickly, putting one hand down, and was unable to help her stand up (as the choreography called for) and she had to get up on her own. So he didn't screw up, she did. And the dance was so much more technically difficult, and aw hell, they gave two perfect scores last week to routines that so didn't deserve it, let J/A -- CLEARLY the best pair there -- get the first second perfect score.

Yes, I heard about Ausiello. Whatever. Unless they have Jason already hand-picked for another show, I still find it highly unlikely that Rob will be allowed to bring the show back without JD. Personally, I'm still holding onto hope that it's just spin control. Remember last week, the network wasn't keen on the FBI idea and LOVED the last five episodes. Whatever.
