joiedecombatHeroes has come back from hiatus and made me a happy fangirl.
1) Mr. Bennet and Matt teamup FOR THE WIN. I knew it would be awesome if it happened, and I was right. With Mr. Bennet masterminding, Matt may actually get some decent storylines. Mr. Bennet's cool-headed schemery plus Matt's well-intentioned ineptitude equals win and awesome. I love being right! :D
2) Linderman is sort of channeling Darth Vader: "SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS, NATHAN. YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE." But I have to say that I'm really intrigued by the concept of Linderman as a frustrated healer and former superhero whose inability to satisfyingly change things for the better has driven him to extremes. And I continue to love Nathan, who is clearly tempted by the promise of the White House and the chance that Linderman is right about his plans, but just as clearly not going to be willing to sacrifice Peter to achieve that promise. Stay good, Nathan! But not too good, because I love you as a grey area. <3
3) Show of hands: who started wincing on Peter's behalf as soon as Sylar started levitating those glass shards? Ow.
Also, confession time: I cheered when Mohinder clobbered Sylar. Yay Mohinder! I demand more Mohinder kicking ass.
4) Awwww, Isaac. I haven't been very interested in him and his poor boring storylines, but there's something poignant about him so obviously seeing the end coming. (Also, I admit it, I'm a geek; I laughed at his comment about posting spoilers.)
5) Mama Petrelli is kind of a bitch. In a cool way. Another frustrated former superhero! From the way she and Linderman both talked, they must have been part of a team of sorts in the past. I wonder who else was with them? Hiro's dad, maybe? Hmmm.
6) (Okay, I apologize to the Peter fans, but I am a little peeved that Claire and Nathan finally meeting was precluded by the scene being All About Peter. Admittedly he was dead, so that's a fairly good reason. I was just hoping for a little more direct interaction between the two of them.)
7) "You can put it underneath your pillow." Heee. I heart Nathan's snark.
8) "How can you be so sure?"
Bennet, :)
"Point taken."
9) ...oh Mohinder. Less stupid, more ass-kicking. :(
10) Go figure that I finally start liking Isaac because of the way he chooses to meet his death. (Pssst, Isaac: while I did kind of melt at your resignation to your own death and your determination to make something worthwhile out of it, you could maybe not tip the bad guy off to what you're trying to do to stop him.)
11) "She warms up. ... Sort of." HA. Oh I <3 Nathan so much. What are you planning, you magnificent bastard?
12) Man, when I first saw that timeline rigged out in Isaac's erstwhile apartment I thought it was some sort of crazy complicated metaphysical model. A complicated 3D timeline is almost as cool, though. (I sort of thought of Kitty building simulations of Destiny's Diaries in the Danger Room.)
13) Uh-oh, evilNathan in the promos. Stay slightly to the good side of morally grey, Nathan! :O
Also: since Sylar's attempt at a lobotomy obviously wasn't the source of the much-discussed scar, I wonder what will end up putting that big slash across his face. Hm.

Oh.My.
Date: 2007-04-24 04:24 pm (UTC)The INSTANT. THE. INSTANT. ZOMG. I told the visiting 11yrold to 'Cover your eyes! COVER YOUR EYES!' because she's just a little sensitive, still.
Also, confession time: I cheered when Mohinder clobbered Sylar. Yay Mohinder! I demand more Mohinder kicking ass.
We all cheered! And YES. MORE MOHINDER KICKING ASS!

Bahahaha. Spoilers. :D

Has to be. Haaaas to be. But then, there's still got to be one more, you think? One more big bad out there we don't know about yet?
9) ...oh Mohinder. Less stupid, more ass-kicking. :(
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh. <--- the sound made the moment we all realized WTF was going on. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
11) "She warms up. ... Sort of." HA. Oh I <3 Nathan so much. What are you planning, you magnificent bastard?
I'm not sure he 'plans' so much as 'whines' and 'waffles'.
I'm so glad this is back on! :D :D :D
Re: Oh.My.
Date: 2007-04-24 05:44 pm (UTC)I call Simone's dad was in on it. Too much happens on the roof of his building. Papa Petrelli was probably involved too, but they are both - so far as we know - dead.
I don't know that they would necessarily all be big bads, either - surely one could get at least one discouraged good guy out of a group of frustrated former superheroes, along with an assortment of big bads - although Mama Petrelli has certainly been displaying a fine command of schemery and manipulation so far.

Shush, you. Nathan is totally my new TV boyfriend!
