Heroes

[scribblinlenore]

--Sylar raised the interest value of the twins' storyline to the millioneth power.

--And yet. If this became the M3 and Petrelli show? I would DIE and go to HEAVEN. Seriously. The beard is gone. Nathan and his mother have a moment. Nathan and his boys have a moment. The boys hate the beard like sensible people everywhere! Nathan is mooning over photographs of his boyfriend brother. All I need is Peter and Nathan reunited for my happiness to be complete.

--Matt loses major Father of the Year points for that "maybe what Molly needs is to confront her fears" crap. Perhaps that's a good tact to take if you're kid is having nightmares about, oh, let's say, pasta in squiggly shapes. Oh, the horror! But if she's afraid of a bad man with super powers who can get inside her head and knows where you live? Turning away from your fears is actually a really good strategy!

--Last episode, I kept expecting Matt and Mohinder to kiss. This episode, I felt the angry sex was about to break out at any moment. Oh, show! How you love us.

--Nathan and Matt working together = for the win!

--Oh, and speaking of Nathan, can he always be wearing that gray suit/black shirt combo? He can? Thank you!!!!

--Speaking of Matt, oh my God, what's up with his father? And the fact that all these heroes from the older generation have children with powers makes me wonder if the powers are naturally occurring, or if the parents did something to cause them. I mean, just because a parent has a genetic trait doesn't mean ALL their children are going to inherit it.

--Thank God poor Micah has finally been liberated from the lame-ass plot that revolves around Nikki and has gone on to something much more interesting with the new girl. She's so cool! And her power rocks. And grandma Uhura! I wasn't sure how I felt about the tragedy of New Orleans being just so much window dressing on the plot. It seems kind of insensitive to me.

--Claire and West brought back visions of Lana and Clark, which I SO did not thank them for.

Mentions of the trailer for next week ahead. Stop reading now if you don't want to know!

I like Kristen Bell, but if that preview is any indication, she's going to be playing Veronica with powers.

Seriously. I was all, Veronica Mars is going to find Peter. Who hired her for the case?

i really love the matt/mohinder plus molly storyline, too. i squeeed when matt and mohinder came rushing into molly's room when she was having a nightmare. and i didn't even care that matt and mohinder were fully dressed on not, oh, in hastily thrown-on pjs ;). i hope this plotline continues for a long, long time.

as much as i am looking forward to seeing kristen bell, i'm afraid that you are right. well, at least she knows how to play that type of character.

Really, the people in New Orleans love it when TV shows highlight their plight. Otherwise, the American people seem to forget they exist.

New Girl is fabulous and so is her power. Man, to be able to look at something and learn it instantly is amazing, and she's just the sort of person who will use it well and love her power. I love that she's all about education and doing well scholastically to advance herself. YOU GO, GIRLFRIEND! Oh, and speaking of, I like her very supportive girl friend a lot, too!

*nods*

It struck me as one of those "they mean well" things, but boy, was it painful - and it didn't have to be. You have to tread lightly when you're dealing with real tragedy, and that, they did not do.

So I gather from y'all that Heroes is doing a two daddies plot.

Damn. I might have to start watching the show.

I'm just waiting from Nathan and Peter to reunite. All this angsting has to be bad for someone. Oh yes, I'm just waiting for the bloodshed. M&M will cease to be the minute Sylar comes back into the picture.

I am so pissed at Matt right now. If I were Mohinder, he would be sleeping on the couch for a week. He had no right to a) ask Molly to do that or b) ask Molly to do that. Seriously.

[no-detective.livejournal.com]

OMG, this ep made me SO BOUNCY!!! The angst in the Matthinder household, the Sylar Factor, the lies between the Bennets - all of it! And oh, Nathan. NATHAAAAAAAAN.

(Hmmm, I'm not feeling very articulate tonight. *bounces*)

I am so bored with those two that I don't know whether to fall asleep or gag. I'm so not interested. If that little twit lays a finger on HRG I'm not going to be any happier with him either.

She's actually supposed to be kind of crazy or something. Unstable from what little I've heard. A cautionary tale of what having powers too long can do to you or some crap like that.

This episode, I felt the angry sex was about to break out at any moment. Oh, show! How you love us.

You could so totally feel free to write that scenario if you wanted.

Um, that wasn't even a manipulative hint so much as flat-out demanding, huh? Never mind.

ITA! They kept telling the man couldn't really hurt her, and I kept thinking how the fuck do you know?

Claire and West brought back visions of Lana and Clark, which I SO did not thank them for.

I like the suggestion someone made that he's really Kon-El. :)

[merlynnez.livejournal.com]

I am so envious of you all! You get to watch Season 2 now? It'll be about 6 months (if we're lucky) before we see it in NZ :sob:

Would someone please answer: What does M3 stand for?
Thanks :)

Nathan and Matt working together = for the win!
YES! I loved them together.

Claire and West brought back visions of Lana and Clark, which I SO did not thank them for.
Oh how I wish they'd off West. *prays*

SYLAR STILL PWNS ALL.

[them0rgue.livejournal.com]

Sylar and the boring-yet-hot twins! I am so excited. I actually screamed when they stopped on the road all, "OMG IS THAT GOING TO BE SYLAR?"

Word on the angry Matt/Mohinder sex too. They are so domestic!

I wasn't sure how I felt about the tragedy of New Orleans being just so much window dressing on the plot. It seems kind of insensitive to me.

Thanks a lot for pointing that out. Admittedly, I haven't scoured the episode reactions, but yours is the only one I've seen that mentions this. I live and New Orleans and was frankly appalled by the description of New Orleans and the use of the Katrina footage.

agree on everything ... except the kids being purposely bred for abilities. i mean, i wouldn't be surprised if that was a plotline--but in real-world genetics, a mutation that's expressed as a new bodily function (like flying/regenerating/telekinesis) is dominant.

also, for some reason, i can't envision fanfiction for Matt/Mohinder, even though i love seeing them on screen... *weird*
