What?? Nathan Petrelli, I'm Not!

Your Score: Nathan Petrelli

You scored 0 Idealism, 0 Nonconformity, 0 Nerdiness


I'm a shark, Pete.

Congratulaions, you're Nathan Petrelli! You've got all the qualities of a stereotypical politician. You're ambitious, practical, and you've got more than a healthy sex drive. Still, as much you want to succeed in your field, you don't enjoy the attention that comes from being "different", and you are willing to lie to fit the image you want to present. Your worst quality: Ambition--you will make your way to the top of any career. Your worst quality: Anything for the votes--you will do whatever it takes.

Where Have I Seen You Before, Claire Bennet?

Oh that's right, you were the assistant coach's little kid in Remember The Titans (2000). Nice role in a nice movie: a kid who knew all the offensive sets of the football team and how to run them. Save the Cheerleader. Save the World.

The 2007 Playoffs are getting... Boring

With Detroit up 3-0 over the Bulls, Cleveland ahead 2-zip over the Nets, and playoff-history-makers Golden State now down 2 to nothing against the Jazz. It seems that the NBA Playoffs are getting... yawn... boring. Maybe it's just that my team isn't playing anymore. Or maybe we're getting nearer and nearer to a repeat of the 2005 NBA Finals San Antonio versus Detroit, which most say was the most uneventful and boring finals series for the past few years.
Anyway, what I really mean is: there are no more subplots to hold the story. Last year, we had Wade, Nowtzki's 3-point play against the Spurs, Detroit's collapse against Shaq and the Heat, Kobe against the Suns, a number of Game 7s. Last year's NBA Playoffs was the best. Ever.Now that the 1st round upsets are over. There are no more side stories to hold it all together. Sure there's Amare whining against San Antonio's "dirty" players. There are even articles about how the Jazz-Warriors series reperesnts the old vs. new style of NBA Playoff basketball. But is that it? Pfft. For a die-hard NBA fan, it's getting harder to watch the playoffs. I couldn't imagine what a casual fan would like this year.
