adelineToday, I did nothing but watch Heroes. I am pathetic. I'm not done reading all of your reviews yet, but here are a few of my thoughts (under the cut), and I'll be posting the polls tomorrow.
Heroes, 2x06: The Line
Yay for Peter and Caitlin finally leaving Ireland! I can't wait for the fateful faceoff with Elle. The twist at the end looks quite promising and I look forward to finding out more about the mysterious Adam Monroe. Surely, they must wonder if the guy in the picture with Peter knows/is this Adam person? Oh and the bad greenscreen is really distracting. :/
Claire and West versus the eeevil cheerleader - mwahaha! I'll admit it, I LOL'ed! I still don't think West means good news, though. That evasive answer about his parents didn't ring quite right. Still the part where he flies after Debbie was hilarious.
Mohinder LOOKED SO HOT AGAIN omg. Monica's power continues to be impossible amounts of awesome. And go Mohinder, standing up for ethics! I kind of wish he had walked out on the Company though. I worry for Molly a bit. Oh, and his new partner? Please. Totally Jessica. Speaking of whom, Niki wanted to get rid of her last season yes? So if the Company had a way to remove one of her alternate personalities.. what if Jessica had them rid her of Niki? Anyhow. Still not sure what to think of Bob.
HRG and the Haitian in Ukraine - hello again bad greenscreen, please to not be overstaying your welcome, kthxbai. I love that they took some time to play tourists before interrogating Ivan, heh. I almost got seasick from those scenes because NOT ONCE was the camera held properly upright and it got nauseating after a while. (That's my one big complaint in the episode.)
Anyways. Ivan trained Noah and Claude, and don't the writers go thinking I don't know retcon when I see it. But hey, as long as it doesn't go against continuity... All right, moral of the story? HRG IS MORE BADASS THAN YOU. ALWAYS. Holy manatee. I couldn't believe it when he shot the guy. And that he knows exactly what he's doing kind of breaks my heart.
Also, the paintings! Oooooooooh, interesting! I'm glad they were all in one place, btw. Praise the Kring they weren't all scattered across the world. OH AND! Noah's ringtone: hahahahaha, I loves it. And and and! "Where we dyed the liquid man"?? iiiiiiiiiinteresting!
Meantime on the road across the Mexican border... n'aww, Maya is so OBLIVIOUS and poor Alejandro so suspicious, and Sylar sohot and manipulative and determined and deluded and OMG I LOVE THEM. Yes, all three of them. Unpopular as that opinion may be, I'm loving the whole storyline. Pretty sure I'm gonna stick to that opinion for a while too, even in the face of looming... shall we say interpersonal developments? I totally appreciate how trusting Maya is that Gabriel will lead her and Alejandro to salvation and adores him so much for it, while he just pushes her to make (more or less) gratuitous use of her power... And how cute is the way she says his name? But Alejandro's concerns are totally justified and I'm glad he finally told his sister what's what in regards to his half of their little kill-unkill routine.
I'm also beginning to think Sylar actually believes Mohinder could and would help him recover his powers. Wtf, bb? It's touching, in a way, but... eh, no, you know what? If the writers ever follow through on that idea, I'll be one happy happy fangirl for all the right reasons. Best not to question loose threads until then.
Back to the Rogue, or more specifically all around the Rogue, the greenscreen still grates greatly. LESS OF IT, 'PTB. I beg you.
And nooooow, Japan superdrama! Oh, boy. TEAM KENSEI FTW, I SAY! Bad Hiro. :( I resent how he wilfully takes credit for all of Kensei's achievements when we are well aware it was really him who slayed the 90 angry Ronins and retrieved the infamous scrolls. :/ And the princess-kissing most of all. I strongly resent the princess-kissing, especially after Kensei was just telling Hiro how he saved his honor by making him an honest man. Oh, my poor heartbroken Kensei-kun! Hiro better fix this mess and get back to the present soon, where he can reunite with Ando and be adorable like before. I can't say I blame Kensei for turning on him, cruddy as that was. Anyone else notice how, when offered whatever he could possibly want by White Beard, he only takes what's left of his dignity and leaves? I'll say it again, MY POOR HEARTBROKEN KENSEI-KUN. <\3
On a more amusing note, all the Japanese and Spanish and Russian make this show a very hard one to follow if you're not looking directly at the screen. (But how awesome is HRG for being fluent in at least two of languages? *fangirls him*)
In conclusion: it's interesting to see the spectrum of response on my friends list, but I for one am still very much feeling the love - and making no apologies! YAY HEROES!

Date: 2007-10-31 12:07 am (UTC)I can't either. Should prove to be interesting INDEED. :D
I still don't think West means good news, though. That evasive answer about his parents didn't ring quite right.
I know. :| Wonder if he's even a teen... or human. o_O
Mohinder LOOKED SO HOT AGAIN omg...Totally Jessica...Still not sure what to think of Bob.
Gah! Yes... I know!... Agreed :/. <<-- Three for one, I think yes! :D
Yes, all three of them. Unpopular as that opinion may be, I'm loving the whole storyline.
:D Now that there's trouble amongst the Roguies, I have a feeling this plot will DEFINITELY get even more interesting. Till then more awkward hair sweeps. LMAO! Seriously you'd think Sylar's got a thing for hair the way he's piling up the hair touches (Candice, now Maya. I wonder if he comparing textures with his own... or even Momo's at that). XD
no subject
Date: 2007-11-01 01:09 am (UTC)Well, he did himself say he was an alien... o_O
HAHAHA! I completely failed to notice Sylar's new fondness for hair, but as soon as I read comparing my mind screamed MOHINDER'S CURLS OF LOVE! XD

We have to watch for this now. XD

Date: 2007-10-31 05:24 am (UTC)Monica's power continues to be impossible amounts of awesome.
indeed.
Niki wanted to get rid of her last season yes? So if the Company had a way to remove one of her alternate personalities.. what if Jessica had them rid her of Niki?
oooooh
HRG IS MORE BADASS THAN YOU. ALWAYS. Holy manatee.
SO yes.
N'aww, Maya is so OBLIVIOUS and poor Alejandro so suspicious, and Sylar so hot and manipulative and determined and deluded and OMG I LOVE THEM. Yes, all three of them.
me too, despite THE WORST BORDER-CROSSING ATTEMPT EVER.

Date: 2007-10-31 06:01 am (UTC)California: Loved the trick they played, even though West is still creepy, it kinda opens the way for Claire to become like Elle, one day.
Company: Momo was HOT HOT HOT. I like Monica, but I am not like wtf she's so awesome she's my fav person in the whole wide world!!! Like so many other people :\ I am confused about NikiJessica, because they all confirmed Jessica be gone this year. Maybe Niki is playing an act until she's alone with Momo to tell the truth of why she's there? (revenge for D.L. perhaps?)
Mexican border: I am finally starting to like Alejandro, it took a while because the storyline focused more on Maya. I am totally in love with he and her adoration for Gabriel too. As for Sylar, well we all know my thought on him xD
Ukraine: Wow. Like I said, HRG has gone morally black to protext the ones he cares for, he's so crossed the border he set up for himself near the end of last season :\ The mind torture was wicked yet totally disturbing at the same time and I totally didn't expect him to shoot either. I just hope he only shot because he knew sth about Ivan we don't know yet and not just based on what we heard and can assume.

Date: 2007-11-01 01:27 am (UTC)I thought the exteriors in Ukraine and post-evacuation Times Square looked HORRIBLE and it was very prominent in my mind throughout those scenes. I hate that it distracted me so much. :/ Montreal, however, I didn't even notice until the second viewing. I just don't see the point of production spending so much time/effort/money on those effects when they could be spending it elsewhere, because half the time the end results don't really seem worthwhile.
it kinda opens the way for Claire to become like Elle, one day.
Ooh, that's a great idea. I can see it, now that you've mentioned it.
I love how positive and energetic Monica is. Besides, her power is kickass, and she has Micah for a cousin. How could anyone hate her?
Then again, I still don't get how people hate Mohinder or Nathan, so I might not be the best judge.Ha, I've decided I should read the writers'/producers' thoughts on the show or characters a lot less than I used to. Lately I'm finding the Behind-The-Eclipse Q&A to be quite irksome. One example why: before the season started, almost every question was met with a variation on the theme of "VOL. 2 IS CALLED GENERATIONS YOU MORONS DEAR GODS HOW MANY MORE TIMES DO WE HAVE TO SAY IT??!" and now, whenever somebody brings up a point fitting in the generational theme that the writers haven't thought of, they're like "uh... yeah, actually we're not doing that but that would've been good too lol keep watching thx pls". This was in answer to your Niki/Jessica mention, btw. LOL. I'm really not trusting what they're saying about Jessica being really really gone. If she really is gone and we're only seeing Niki right now, I guess somebody's falling down on their job and I don't think that's Ali Larter.
I've liked Alejandro from the start! Poor guy's only ever wanted to get his sister the help she so desperately needs.
Hee, I like how "your thought" on Sylar is in singular form. And yes, I do have a pretty solid idea what that thought might be. ;D
he's so crossed the border he set up for himself near the end of last season :\
I'm not sure I saw him setting lines he wouldn't cross. I remember he was willing to kill 'Walker' to take out the tracking system for good, and sure, he didn't always know she was just a little girl, but he still held a gun to her face. But yeah, him shooting Ivan was still shocking to me because I didn't expect he'd wield such violence so casually after months of living a (more or less) quiet orderly life away from all that madness.

Date: 2007-11-01 08:44 am (UTC)Nope, didn't notice. The onyl time I was like *eyeroll* was the scene with the 30 (80?) angry (hungry?) Ronins running down the Temple thingie
If she really is gone and we're only seeing Niki right now, I guess somebody's falling down on their job and I don't think that's Ali Larter.
Don't you think Niki is pretending? Maybe she can't quite let go of Jessica yet though she has to or maybe she wants to fool the Company until she knows she can rly trust Mo.
I've liked Alejandro from the start! Poor guy's only ever wanted to get his sister the help she so desperately needs.
I actually rly liked Derek :$
I'm not sure I saw him setting lines he wouldn't cross. I remember he was willing to kill 'Walker' to take out the tracking system for good, and sure, he didn't always know she was just a little girl, but he still held a gun to her face.
I am actually under the impression that when he found out it was Molly he would've never shot her, even though he wanted to.
no subject
Date: 2007-11-04 03:42 pm (UTC)Don't you think Niki is pretending?
I guess she might be pretending, but I don't really get why she wouldn't trust Mohinder. He went out of his way to help her dying husband, and they escaped the Company building on Kirby Plaza together, so... wtf?
I actually rly liked Derek :$
Yeah? I never felt as though we were given the chance, 'cause he had about 4 lines total and none of those established any character specifics. For me he was just, you know, there.
As for HRG, well, he is after all a master at 'morally gray.' I truly think he would do anything for his family.
no subject
Date: 2007-10-31 06:42 am (UTC)I'm totally with you on that one. I love it. I want Maya to become Sylar's evil minion. I want her to trust him above anyone else, I want him to use her and manipulate her fully.
*o*
And if we have some Sylar/Maya with that, I'll be very happy.
