OMG HEROES

[agilebrit]

Oh my heck, it's GOOD to have my show back.

The good:

• Peter going invisible to fight Sylar. Dude, that was awesome.
  
• Ted can do an EMP! Who knew. That was So. Cool.
  
• Mama Petrelli hinting that she's known all along that Peter and Nathan had powers. Wonder what hers is?
  
• Isaac's messenger/fanboy. That was adorkable.
  
• Oh, Isaac. :( But he went out GOOD. *hearts*
  
• Hiro and Future!Hiro in the same room! DUDE!
  
• Ando: "I'm so confused." Hee.
  
• The timeline thingy was just neat. Poor Hiro. *sniffles for him, especially after reading this week's graphic novel*
  
• Linderman has a power too! Which, yeah, I already knew because I've been reading the graphic novels during the hiatus.

The bad:

• Even the Hubby thought the hug between Claire and Nathan was "creepy." *snerk*
  
• Sending Claire away to France = not smart, guys. Don't do it.
  
• Shapeshifting Bitch (I can't be arsed to remember her name) needs to die. She has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
  
• Mohinder can die too. The dumb is strong with this one; if he dies, the collective IQ of the characters goes up at least twenty points.
  
• Dude, Sylar can't paint At All. His painting was fugly.

The ugly:

• Was I the only one yelling at Mohinder: "Kill Sylar while he's unconscious, YOU MORON!!!" For someone who's supposed to be smart, Mohinder is remarkably stupid sometimes a LOT. (See above: Mohinder's IQ.)
  
• Took them long enough to yank that hunk of glass out of Peter's skull. This was another series of scenes where I was shaking my head and yelling at the TV.
  
• trollprincess pointed this out: Micah is smart enough to know when Jessica rather than Niki is talking to him on the phone, but not smart enough to figure out that Shapeshifting Bitch isn't his mother when she's standing right there? Kinda strains credulity.

Only four more episodes left? *cries* I have no theories, I'm just along for the ride, man. But now I need to DL the ep so I can go back and look at the paintings again.

*eyes entry* They sure crammed a lot into that hour, didn't they?

Here's my fear.

We have a person who has the power of time/space travel.

We have a person who has the power to change his appearance.

We have two people who can claim the powers of other people, and one of 'em isn't all that nice.

Is that really Hiro?

That is a scary theory, but having read this week's graphic novel, I'm gonna go with, Yeah, it's really him.

For now.

I want to know what mama Petrelli's power is as well. When she was standing in that doorway I thought she might be about to show us.

I was doing a lot of screaming at the set. At least Mohinder knocked him out. But then he stands there with his pretty eyes and doesn't follow up! I'm screaming, kill him! Empty a gun into him! Stab him 50 times! Bludgeon him with a blunt object! I don't care just make him dead!

I find it very interesting that the villian's power is healing. That's just a little extra warped. I have to wonder if Nathan is looking at his power and thinking about his wife.

Yeah, there were a lot of things in the ep that didn't jive quite right with the rest of the season. Can you tell this was where the writers had a break or something?! Maybe they even hired new writers. Who knows.

But Mohinder learned his lesson the hard way last time about NOT KILLING SYLAR when he had the chance. I don't know what he was thinking! But I don't want him killed off. He's too pretty. And he is smart. Remember what he did to Sylar the first time around? I was impressed by that. (But again I refer to new writers dumbing him down.)

I was mostly bothered that no one thought to remove the glass from Peter's head. Granted Mohinder and the Petrelli's didn't know anything about that particular healing gift of his (only Claire did) but still you would think they'd have removed it. BUT then I did think about his long hair hiding it and maybe they didn't see it.

And Micah. *sigh* That same thing bothered me about him not being able to tell it was his mom. He even named (I think) Jessica and could tell when she was in "charge" of his mom. By voice on the phone anyway. She'd had them all fooled the last few weeks/months she was working for Linderman as a hit man. She learned to put on an act. BUT in Micah's favor, maybe he KNEW she wasn't his mom and the army of body guards out front wasn't a good sign. Maybe he was just playing along to keep safe. Maybe. ;)

My husband and I were just discussing how strong this series continues to be. We decided it was our favorite show to watch together. It's currently the only series on television that we don't miss. (We love our science fiction shows, too, but we can catch them in reruns.) The characters are intriguing and interesting, and we've seen some real evolvement. Like George R. R. Martin's characters, I find myself drawn to the ones I previously despised.

We were concerned that the show couldn't keep its momentum and continue growing the storyline, but they've done a wonderful job juggling all the characters and keeping a plot. I read somewhere that they have a story arc planned for five years, so there is some planning going on.

I love how Mrs. Bennet is shown in the season finale to be much more than a dumb blonde. It was a relief to know that she is much stronger and smarter than they gave her credit for initially. I like how Mr. Bennet has evolved from scary bad guy to loving family man. I'm glad to see Nathan Petrelli isn't the total jerk he appeared to be.

However... Having been a part of strangers being united as family, I have to say the Nathan/Claire hug was unrealistic. Claire has a family she loves, and a father who loves her. She may have been curious about her birth father, but knowing that he didn't really want to be a part of her life, I don't think she is going to end up in his arms for a hug. Ick.

Claire should have realized Dead Peter could be revived earlier than she did.

As for Micah, I'm betting the kid is way smarter than we think. He knows about his mother. I wouldn't be surprised if he saw through Shapeshifter, too. And won't I enjoy it, when the evil Shapeshifter gets a date with Sylar. Oh, please.

Mrs. Petrelli--what other secrets does she have? What power does she have? I thought she was going to show us when she stood up and smoothed down her skirt. I am thinking that she may be one of Linderman's old cronies he was talking about that went off chasing money.

I'm glad they didn't kill off Mohinder. They had me worried for awhile. He frustrates me by being slow on the uptake--isn't he supposed to be brilliant? His character can be improved. IT BOGGLES THE MIND: Mohinder can take the time to make certain the "list" is destroyed and drag a dead body out of the apartment, but he can't take a few moments to bludgeon Sylar? Then cut him into little pieces? Then flush part of them down the toilet, burn some in the fireplace, and put the rest down the garbage disposal? Hey, I've watched enough shows that I'm not taking any chances with a psychopath!

I adore Hiro. I loved the reunion with Ando.

I accepted the deaths of Simone, Isaac, and Eden, but I still have hope Hiro can somehow save Charlie. I loved her character, and she and Hiro were so cute together.

So where is Mr. Muggles now, and where is poor Mrs. Bennet? That poor woman has been through so much. They better not hurt her! Her character just got interesting to me.

And, ooo, that Sylar is creepy!
