If you read my previous post on my TV viewing habits, you could probably tell that I really like the new show “Heroes”. I’m glad I spelled it right this time. 
If you watch this show too, then we are both in for a special treat. It turns out they have signed a couple of scifi geek heavy weights.
As much of scifi nerd the character “Hiro” is on the show, how cool is it that George “Sulu” Takei will be playing his father? I saw the report on this a couple of days ago.
Then just today, I saw another Heroes casting announcement. Christopher Eccelston will be joining the cast. Nothing is known yet about the character he’ll be playing, other than that it be a powered character. Christopher Eccelston is of course best known as the ninth doctor from the popular British scifi series “Doctor Who“.
I’m looking forward to seeing the fireworks likely to erupt from both of these casting choices. It can only be good times for the viewer. IIRC too, this will be the first time an actor who portrayed The Doctor will appear in US TV show since Tom Baker had a guest spot in Remington Steele. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
