Thoughts on Heroes, before I respond to anyone else's.
- Hiro is made of win. "Waffles are very good. You would like them!" LMAO. See? Made. Of. Win. His dad = pwned. His sister was nice, I guess. Interesting that the actress's name was actually Nakamura. While on the subject of names, I briefly wondered why, if it belonged to the Nakamura family, the company is called Yamagato. And then I remembered it wasn't likely to have much relevance in the future, so I killed that thought.
- Sylar is creepy. Creepier than ever, even. I'm glad Mr. Muggles wasn't harmed.
- "It's SO FUNNY how y'all all call him Mr. Bennet over there! I've always just known him as Stop-That-You-No-More-Shoes." Heh, some writer was poking some fun. Still, STYNMS is a much more pronounceable acronym than HRGM is, you've gotta admit. "Stynms." Try it. "Hrgm" just sounds like a mix of a grunt and a huff gone wrong.
- And wow, does Stynms have good aim. (Pfft, no, not even his driver's license had a first name on it.)
- Claude has the best lines! And also, he's a total whack-job. I did the whole OMGOMGOMG, hand-over-mouth, eyes-protruding-in-shock shebang when he threw Peter off the roof like that! :O I know Peter can't and won't die until at least season 15, but it was... shocking.
- Also, Mista Issaaaac! You sneaky littlecute puppy betrayer you! What happened to make him go from "o yayz Peter saved the cheerleader heeeee! :D" to, "Oh, you're looking to catch Peter Petrelli? Yeah, I'll help with that!" ?? Would that be related to Eden's untimely demise? DAMN YOU POST-FALLOUT TWO-WEEK GAP, DAMN YOU TO HELL. Also, I always reconstruct (Petrelli) canon in my head, and Nathan totally sicced Isaac on Pete, too. You know it. Only, the little handsome devil calls STYMNS first, damnit. :( I'd resent him a lot more if he weren't so earnest in wanting to protect Simone, and New York City. I blame Santiago Cabrera.
- Jessica, free. No good can come out of that, can it?
- I'm probably seeing things where it's crazy to even look, but I swear Meredith Gordon had a baby bump under that ample shirt.
- "I always imagined my parents lived in a penthouse in New York City." Dun dun duuuunnnn. Can we get a little more foreshadowing over here, please? Tsk. Premonitory imagination could be a shared trait between uncle and niece, eh?
- Claire and Meredith had a nice scene, I'm not sure I would drink a strange-looking proferred beverage so soon after meeting someone, but what the hell? She can't die, it's moot. I wonder, when Meredith tells Claire, "Some family," in that way that she said it, was she including daddy? Does she know about his ability? She mentioned something also about the building's roof, and I immediately jumped to, "Yes, Meredith, ALWAYS question the 'miracle'." Did Nathan fly Claire out of the building unseen?
- Oh, Nathan. <3 How I fangirl thee. There was clearly shock in that look, but anything else there might have been was pretty damn unreadable. (Pasdar for the win, by the way.) Meredith says, "she's alive." Is that what the shock's all about? Has he thought Claire dead all this time? And who in the Petrelli clan knows? Peter would have been 11, has he known his baby niece at all? Or, has Nathan known she lived and kept tabs on her all along? Is the shock about her finding Meredith? Did he know what high school she goes to? Oh! Think of the fanglee when Nathan finds out it's her Peter saved - no matter his actual feelings on that. So many questions *cough*plotbunnies*coughcough*, so little time until next episode...
- Also, because I can't stop myself: yes, people, genes are passed down from parents to children and grandchildren. IT'S THE ONLY WAY GENES ARE PASSED. I've read so many "oooh"s and "aaah"s about those family links between the superabled, and all I can think is DUH. (Though, I did fail Biology 101.) Remember Chandra Suresh? GENETICIST. Mohinder? SEXY GENETICIST. It's always been about the genes, can we get over the surprise now?
I've finished my Petrelli brothers fanmix! Hee. Well, an EP fanmix, but still. I like it. Will post as soon as I've got my hands on decent quality files and cover arts.
I was going to write a little about Studio 60, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow and bundle it in my 'House and miscellany RL' stuff post.
Big squee of the night: LOST COMES BACK TOMORROW! *SQUEE* Hence the icon. It's Claire (as in...) all HAPPY and SQUEEING and OMGYAY! It's kind of surreal, after such a long break. Was the Summer break even this long? I can't believe it's back. Tomorrow! The time has finally come. Gods, the hype!

You catch the smallest details! That is awesome ::heart:: But y’know it could be deeply related to the plot and we just don’t know it yet *shifty eyes*
Sylar: Dude. So cool. Got no words.
heh, some writer was poking some fun
That writer deserves my dealthy ebil glare. Stynms. I like that. It has a flowy sound to it. Stynms. Stynms. Stynms. Stynms.
Are you quite sure Stynms’s license did not have a first name??? Argh they play with us and we blithely let them. He better have some awesome first name.
Claude. Interesting. The kind of interesting that may want to spend some time with Niki’s shrink (were she not dead) about his own “People suck” issues. And ewwww he’s been in bedrooms. 0.o
Mista Isaaaaaac: Yes LET US DAMN POST FALLOUT TWO WEEK GAP! I need to see how the awesomest teamup everrrrrrrr occurred! Ok let’s think about this. Eden lets him escape and he does. At this point all he knows is that this group of people helped him get clean, believe in his paintings and want to save people. Good. He doesn’t know about the mind control and the shady catch and release and I want to know if he has the two-line symbol on his neck or not and if he was told about it. After painting the exploding man he was worried. But then Nathan tells him EM=Peter which would make him even more worried. He wants to save the world but he also wants to save Simone. And he thinks all he can do is paint so external help is needed. Hence maybe he tries to call Eden except she is dead. HRG gets his message and they decide to tam up wheeeeeee. And Isaac gets his first assignment.
Nathan totally sicced Isaac on Pete
?.? I don’t comprehend….
Jessica, free. No good can come out of that, can it?
Umm if there is a Nathan/Niki bonding session then there can be a world of good coming out of that. \o/ for more Nathan scenes.
Premonitory imagination could be a shared trait between uncle and niece, eh?
LINDERMANN reveal yourself this instant! I know where you live…. (in a penthouse)
I don’t know…how can Nathan fly Claire away and then she ends up with HRG? There must have been HRG-Meredith confrontation? Or not…I want to think more about this before saying anything.
Now you are the one asking impertinent question missy. How am I supposed to concentrate on anything if I am thinking about the Petrellis? Adrian Pasdar is such a great actor and does unreadable looks so well! I think the shock is from hearing she is alive mingled with a bit of OMG blast-from-past-I-never-thought-I-would-confront-again. I don’t think his campaign came to mind quite so soon but it must have pretty soon after. Nah if he had been keeping tabs on Claire then A. He would have recognised HRG which he didn’t. B. Something should’ve rung a bell when Peter said he wanted to go to Texas. I think at least mrs. Petrelli knew about Meredith but no idea if this was all hidden from Peter or just the fire was or what. I wanna see the scene where they realise Peter saved Nathan’s daughter IT SHALL BE AWESOME FOR I DECLARE IT TO BE SO.
I don’t understand what you mean about the genes and stuff? What are people too dense to understand?
Also yay Petrelli mix is done. *awaits
impatiently*Wheeeeee LOST. So I was watching s3e2 and I thought I liked Sun but then I realised that I don’t. At least not in that ep? I keep feeling sorry for Jin. >.<””” Even her father seemed sympathetic in “The Glass Ballerina” compared to her. Remember when she told Jin he was not to leave to search for Michael? But now she herself wants to be in the team and lies to Jin (ha! He knew) etc.
Now I just need to see the other 4 eppies again and then wheee new LOST.
(I'm so sorry about the triple post :x)
Date: 2007-02-08 02:01 pm (UTC)LMAO, yes, that was great! And his face was awesome. "Pfft, oh yeah? And what the hell do YOU know?" XD
it could be deeply related to the plot and we just don’t know it yet *shifty eyes*
Heh, yeah, I have heard before that Tim Kring and Damon Lindelof are good friends, so... Probably, it's all a big giant mindfuck.
You know what else would be funny? If Stynms's name was Ben. Ben Bennet. I'm silly, it amuses me.
Claude. Interesting. The kind of interesting that may want to spend some time with Niki’s shrink (were she not dead) about his own “People suck” issues. And ewwww he’s been in bedrooms. 0.o
LMAO yes. Total voyeur. *shudder* Did you think Niki's shrink was dead too? Milo agrees, but I thought Jessica 'only' tazed her senseless. Either way, poor stupid woman.
Dude, did you hear how they were totally spoiling in the commentary? LOL, Milo would say something about Sylar killing ________ and Zachary was all, "um, that's only airing next week lolz". >_< Good on NBC for bleeping out the specifics. Damn them for NOT bleeping out the "killing (someone)" bit. I fear for our sexy fashionista geneticist. ;_;
He doesn’t know about the mind control and the shady catch and release
Good point! He does know, however, that he was being locked in (said something to Eden about locks on doors in Fallout) and when she handed him her pass and cellphone, it was pretty clear she wasn't exactly supposed to. I like your take on his motives for wanting to help catch Peter, makes a lot of sense to me.
I meant Nathan probably also asked Isaac to locate Peter. If he went to Mohinder, he probably said something to Isaac as well, even only just a "if you hear about him, call me" or whatever.
At which point Hiro would chime in, in full fanboying mode: "*handclaps* Hai! Hai! Pita Pitureili! Beri impotanto! We must find him. *head nod*"Ooh, you know what? I'm just now realizing present-day Hiro and Peter have not yet met! Scandalous!LOL, more Nathan scenes is ALWAYS a good thing. Not like we were risking overdose with our second-and-a-half in this ep, LOL. Next week's looks like it features him more prominently though, so yay for that! ^_^ And I'm fine with Nathan/Niki scenes as long as Jessica doesn't hurt him. (I am paranoid by nature, woe!)
how can Nathan fly Claire away and then she ends up with HRG?
Classic adoption process? Say he saves her out of instinct, then freaks out that he's only 21 and unexperienced, it could make sense that he'd want to put her in the care of a stable loving family rather than drop everything and single-handedly screw up her life. Worse yet, he could even have been talked into giving her up. Then the process by which she ended up with the Bennets might not necessarily have been less-than-legitimate.
On the contrary, I think when the call came, the campaign was at the fore of his mind because he seemed to be at the office, working late. (Yikes, just think of the backlog from all the time spent at Peter's bedside!) That being said, as soon as Meredith tells him their daughter's alive, he lost focus of everything else, stunned. Overall, yeah, I think the election is the least of his cares right at this instant.
I had a completely wibbly thought just 2 seconds ago: maybe "Claire" wasn't the name they gave her? <\3 Then I had another wibbly thought, but I'm saving it for fanfic. (I have given in.) And that scene is definitely going to become a classic. OMG, I want to see it now! Also, I kind of want Nathan to punch HRG in the face, though I'm not sure why. I mean, I can think of reasons Nathan would want to clock him one on the nose, I just don't know why I want to see it. But hey, people do find guns sexy! LOL
What are people too dense to understand?
Exactly my point, LOL. I've read posts on forums where some people are wowed by simple logic. "zomg powaz can be ineerted from parentz who knew omg omg??/?" Honestly, just... *facepalm*
Uuuugh, yes, Sun. That episode spelled complete character assassination as far as I'm concerned. And I used to love her, she was one of my favorites! Dang writers. Yeah, poor Jin. He was so happy about the baby, too. :(
Re: (I'm so sorry about the triple post :x)
Date: 2007-02-10 12:38 am (UTC)Yes they are! And I love that my 2 fav shows are so friendly with
each other. You know that last scene in eppy one with Peter and Nathan was totally Lindelof's idea ♥
You know what else would be funny? If Stynms's name was Ben. Ben Bennet. I'm silly, it amuses me
You are amused by the little things in language. How...amusing. No I had rather HRG not be an Other. (though he is being all expreiment-ey)
Either way, poor stupid woman.
*shakes head* Poor, stupid, dead woman
LOL, Milo would say something about Sylar killing ________ and Zachary was all, "um, that's only airing next week lolz". >_< Good on NBC for bleeping out the specifics. Damn them for NOT bleeping out the "killing (someone)" bit. I fear for our sexy fashionista geneticist. ;_;
hehehehehe I can help you here: http://community.livejournal.com/mutantboysrock/25051.html
Watch the The View one I think.
And now I am def'ly going to have to take the time to hear the commentaries.
Good point! He does know, however, that he was being locked in (said something to Eden about locks on doors in Fallout) and when she handed him her pass and cellphone, it was pretty clear she wasn't exactly supposed to.
Oooh forgot about that! But I guess if Eden isn't around then he would have to team up with HRG. incidentally I wonder if he knows about Eden's death? I think yes because he knew they had Sylar.
At which point Hiro would chime in, in full fanboying mode: "*handclaps* Hai! Hai! Pita Pitureili! Beri impotanto! We must find him. *head nod*"
LMAO I loved the way you wrote Hiro's dialogue. All I can do is "birran"
Ooh, you know what? I'm just now realizing present-day Hiro and Peter have not yet met! Scandalous!
I KNOW! I want Hiro to say how he knows all about FRYING MAAN to Peter. That would provide me with much mirth and gigglement.
And I'm fine with Nathan/Niki scenes as long as Jessica doesn't hurt him.
Yeah someone mentioned that she might still be pissed about that one time when Nathan didn't help her when Niki called. *scared slightly*
Classic adoption process?
Ah I get you now. But somehow I get the feeling that Mr. Bennet Claire while in action. As in maybe he was trying to get Meredith but she panicked and somehow set a fire and HRG+Hatian saved Claire. (or maybe that would just make a good fic)
On the contrary, I think when the call came, the campaign was at the fore of his mind because he seemed to be at the office, working late. (Yikes, just think of the backlog from all the time spent at Peter's bedside!)
True about the backlog! I actually meant that when he got the call he didn't immediately think "Wait. I need to stop this from leaking" is all.
That being said, as soon as Meredith tells him their daughter's alive, he lost focus of everything else, stunned. Overall, yeah, I think the election is the least of his cares right at this instant.
Yep that's what I meant.
I had a completely wibbly thought just 2 seconds ago: maybe "Claire" wasn't the name they gave her?
OMG I just posed that question to you a few minutes ago in a different thread.
Then I had another wibbly thought, but I'm saving it for fanfic. (I have given in.)
*curious* And yay you have succumbed to temptation.
Also, I kind of want Nathan to punch HRG in the face, though I'm not sure why. I mean, I can think of reasons Nathan would want to clock him one on the nose, I just don't know why I want to see it. But hey, people do find guns sexy! LOL
I am right behind you shouting "FIST FIGHT GO GO GO". I think watching my two fav characters at major odds with eah other is going to be AWESOME.
I've read posts on forums where some people are wowed by simple logic. "zomg powaz can be ineerted from parentz who knew omg omg??/?" Honestly, just... *facepalm*
-_-;;;
And I used to love her, she was one of my favorites! Dang writers. Yeah, poor Jin. He was so happy about the baby, too. :(
Mine too! At least my love for Jin is still there. He's is such a loyal guy.
Re: (I'm so sorry about the triple post :x)
Date: 2007-02-10 07:46 pm (UTC)Whoa, seriously? :O I take back everything, I LOVE YOU DAMON! ♥♥
Heheh, HRG is far, far less creepy than Ben Linus. At least he has redeeming qualities. Can't say the same for Fenry.
Ooh. *clicks* Thank you. *waits* Argh, the video is taking ages to load.
Yeah, Isaac probably knows about Eden. That's why he and Mohinder should meet again and give each other comfort. 0:)
Haha, I totally fangirl Hiro's accent. I'll be so sad when he loses it. :(
Heeee, yes, the Hiro and Petrelli bros reunion promises a well of amusement. I can't wait. "Tchirida your dohta? Huh? Why yuu not teru mi suuna?" ^_^
I guess it depends on what triggered Bennet's involvement with Primatech Paper's activities. If he got involved after he learning of Claire's ability, then I guess anything's possible.
I actually meant that when he got the call he didn't immediately think "Wait. I need to stop this from leaking" is all.
Okay, agreed 100%. :)
I am right behind you shouting "FIST FIGHT GO GO GO"
LOL, that's great. The whole showdown would have to stretch over several episodes, and then there'd be TEAM NATHAN and TEAM HRG warring on the forums and it would be wondersome.
Re: (I'm so sorry about the triple post :x)
Date: 2007-02-10 11:55 pm (UTC)I know, I didn't get to hear the whole part either but I saw the part where they say that the death scene has already been shot and Sendhil says it wasn't Mohinder. I am surprised he let it out...
Yeah, Isaac probably knows about Eden. That's why he and Mohinder should meet again and give each other comfort. 0:)
Awwww I would like that.
"Tchirida your dohta? Huh? Why yuu not teru mi suuna?"
*looks around* Would you keep it down?!
and then there'd be TEAM NATHAN and TEAM HRG warring on the forums and it would be wondersome.
..but...but then I would be CONFLICTED (because the sky is blue)
Re: (I'm so sorry about the triple post :x)
Date: 2007-02-11 01:46 am (UTC)Yaaaaaaaaay!
Of course now I worry more for others.Oh, hey, it could be Simone! :#*looks around* Would you keep it down?!
