Spent the morning catching up at
sendhilfans, about the appearance and disappearance of THE BEARD(tm) and what looks to be Sendhil getting pushed back to guest role status on
Heroes. I have no comment on the beard, since I seemed to have missed its stay altogether. (BRB, staring at Karl Urban's ass.) However, as I haven't kept up with
Heroes, I was unaware that he's being essentially booted off. Last I heard it was just fan speculation, but I guess it was confirmed at SDCC.
I guess this makes me happy though? In the scheme of things, anyway. Seeing my favorite character demoted week after week to Punching Bag + Shitty Plot Device status has killed my interest in the show, which was just the gravy on the already growing list of things that killed my interests. To see him freed from his contractual obligations to the project is good because it lets him pursue other roles. Also, he's going to be on
Psych and has I think two films in the works? Whatever. He's going to be fine. I'll miss the weekly dose of pretty on my Monday nights, but it's for the greater good.
(Now if I could just get him and Karl in a room to do one epically shitty movie together, I would die a happy fangirl. He's already done a seriously shitty movie with Chris, so Karl's a mere Kevin Bacon Degree away. Just think about it: Sendhil could be like Really-Hot-Sarcastic-Guy, and Karl could be Really-Hot-Sarcastic-Guy-With-A-Sword. They would have awesomely bad accents and witty banter, and then save the world together. You know you want to see this movie. I don't blame you.)
