Jack Coleman has been updating his blog again and, as usual, is his usual witty, diasarming self. I liked the bit about questioning why it is deemed shameful to be caught wearing the same outfit more than twice as this is something that I've occasionally pondered too. Presumably the person is supposed to say something like "Ulp! It's a fair cop - I don't really just wear outfits once and then throw them away, I'm thus secretly really poor. Oh the shame, the shame of it all" Or something. I've never subscribed to it anyway - I find an item of clothing or shoes I love and then proceed to wear the poor things to death. But back to Jack - I love the little glimpses of him raising his children to be grounded individuals "I don't want my daughter thinking it's humiliating to be seen in the same outfit twice. Clothes are expensive. And unlike Hollywood relationships, clothes are not disposable. And, and... ah, hell, I'm busted. I have to get more jackets."
Hee :) He sounds so awesome.
As to the stuff about the show in which he makes points about answering some of the criticism of the finale? Well, I think if you were unconvinced by seeing the events unfold on screen then Jack's spirited attempts to make sense of it will not make things better. I admire him for fighting his corner and sticking up for the show but I'd love to know how much of it he believes. I do very much agree with him that Fugitives has some excellent episodes in it and thus it came in for a lot of criticism that wasn't always at all fair. BUT I think he's trying to prove too much here. His point about why they didn't try and use Claire's blood is just silly - if this worked like a regular transfusion, he'd have a better point but a) we saw Adam working this trick by using just a couple of DROPS of blood and b) from what we saw with Bennet's own recovery, there seems no indication that time is a complicating factor - Noah looks like he was brought back from death. all that sais, this? "Trauma triage: why Nathan died and HRG lived. And, of course, HRG is so badass, no puny Moe Green retinal scratch was gonna keep him down!" was really funny!
And in any case, as with his points about not killing Sylar, NONE of what he suggests was even hinted at onscreen. and if anything really goes against what we know of Noah as a character. I mean this?
"Which does he want more: Sylar dead or Nathan alive? If Sylar dies, so does Nathan. As a parent, HRG knows he would do anything to keep Claire alive and so his compassion for Angela and Nathan, Claire's biological father, wins out."
Awwww Jack, I don't know where to start! Firstly, Noah's altruistic concern for Angela and Nathan is stronger than the chance to keep his family safe from a vicious serial killer? Since when? But even allowing that this is the case, would anyone who wasn't crazed by shock and grief think this plan was in anyway delivering that for Angela?
