Heroes! Squee!
Okay, so I managed to watch Heroes after all. WHEE! This post began its life as a reply to my beloved theantijoss, so if it seems a bit specific in spots, well, that's cause it IS. Like, all the parts where I use the word "you", specifically.

Hi Mohinder! I see you're still voice over guy. Maybe one day I'll understand what all the girls see in you.

Alchemy. Whoa. That's a TOP HEAVY POWER--no pun intended. One that all writers know should not be given away, and if it is, certainly not given lightly. Also, it must be taken back. That guy is probably evil, but either way? He's toast by season's end.

Dude, Claire is SOOOOOOO BUFFY! I mean, I considered it an homage last season, but this year, it's just ridiculous. Low profile! No standing out! No cheerleading! And her Dad is so acting like Giles, right down to the Ripper finger bending *G* I kinda like it, but it SCREAMS BtVS neon blinking homage with surround sound. At least, the Claire parts do.

Claire! Jump on the cute boy, STAT! Unless he's Sylar, which didn't occur to me until you said something. It seems too subtle for Sylar, though.

Sark! Or, Mr. Sock, as we call him around here *snerk* I wondered who you were talking about earlier when you mentioned "Anders". Yay, I adore that he's getting to play up the funny on this show.

I, too, figured out Hiro will become his Hero--or IS his own hero and just didn't know because he hasn't done it yet *pause* Time travel makes my brain hurt. Although, he MAY end up trying to make Mr. Sock into the hero--for a couple eps before he takes over.

Hee! I totally called Matt/Mohinder. Aw, man, the jokes. They're... "partners" *snerk* But dude, please to be explaining, WHY did they put MATT--the biggest fucking wuss on the entire SHOW--in charge of the willful child?

I was whining for Peter the whole episode. And begging Nathan to shave his beard. My. GODS.

And there was a guy who had an Irish accent worse than Angel's! WOW! *snerk* Were they looking for Lucky Charms, or what?

PETER!!!! Muffin-baby!!!! YAY!!!! Peter looks... like he aged a DECADE, holy CRAP. And... the lack of emo hair makes me sob. Although, hello, naked chest! And he's wearing--the SYMBOL! Dun dun dun!

Okay, so up front speculation; Nathan's beard is making him crazy. Um, no, wait... Nathan's face is being burned away by his beard--no, wait. Nathan is being terrorized by someone else, who's making him see this shit. Yeah, that's it! I'd bet good money on it.

Hiro's dad staged his death... for some reason yet unknown. And was that Invisiguy that showed up for him?

Maya and her brother are done for before the end of the season. Actually, that's only half a prediction, the other half of that statement was rooted in serious HOPE. They bored the piss out of me.

Observations & questions: Of course Peter didn't die. He has Claire's regeneration ability. DUH. However, I want an explanation on how NATHAN fucking survived, considering all he can do is FLY. And grow nasty-ass skanky beards.

And you know what? I'm just gonna post this in my journal, because this reply? IS that post.

Oh, Nathan. Oh, Peter.

Fuck. It's like a sickness. I see incestuous brothers everywhere I look. See? TOLD YOU I'd be thinking about Sam & Dean, Dean & Sam! Even in the abstract ;)

P.S. Why, WHY did no one tell me that the guy who co-headlined Rome with his stellar, magnificent acting, is starring in Journeyman? DAMMIT! It's Quantum Leap all over again, and I am SUCH. a SUCKER. for that premise. Plus, did I mention phenomenal actor?
