That is how the Company brought back Noah from the dead. \u00a0I&#8217;m not talking about pining for the fiords type &#8220;mostly dead&#8221; either. \u00a0This was a &#8220;bullet entrance wound in eye, tunnel through the brain and blow out the back of the head&#8221; type dead. \u00a0 If you have Claire, you don&#8217;t need to screw with Sylar&#8217;s brain after he just cut Nathan&#8217;s throat. \u00a0 Ok, maybe they are going to pull some crazed crap like Noah never knew, or asked, how he was brought back to life, and Nathan&#8217;s body is on ice somewhere, ready to be reanimated through the magic of Claire&#8217;s blood after Sylar figures out that he is Sylar. \u00a0I expect Parkman to be rather pissed off if he finds out, unless he&#8217;s moved on from Daphne and is back on track with his ex-wife, who was cheating on him with his best friend.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, I&#8217;ve got that out of my system.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s move on. \u00a0The SciFi channel&#8217;s new show Warehouse 13. \u00a0Ya, I know know the idiots there changed the spelling, but that is their little episode of idioticy.<\/p>\n<p>I like Warehouse 13, and ya, Steve Jackson Games did a GURPS book about it first, so go collect your geek cred somewhere else. \u00a0They admit they got the idea from the first Indiania Jones movie anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The characters are fun, it doesn&#8217;t take itself too seriously, but it is more serious than the Librarian movies.
