My favorite character on teen-detective show Veronica Mars was probably Weevil, the biker-gang leader who slowly became Veronica’s most steadfast ally. Yes, he went a little too soft, but he never entirely lost his edge thanks to actor Francis Capra. So I’m excited that he’s cropping up on Heroes as the villain Jesse, who is “mean, angry and out of control.” But I’m also a little sad that this new character probably won’t have half the facets that Capra was able to put into Weevil. And also now I’m wishing half the Heroes cast would be killed off so it could be the Jesse show. Actually, I really wish there was a show that did for space opera or superheroes what the dazzling Veronica did for noir. [TV Guide via Heroes The Series]
