*squeals*

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS FUCKING SHOW.

Hiro teleported to the future! And saw Isaac dead! And Nathan wins in a landslide! And New York explodes! APOCALYPSE! Yaaaaaaaay!

The best, though?

Peter really CAN fly! I spazzed when he walked on thin air like that, although holy crap, why was Nathan sweating so profusely and looking all anxious when he came up to the roof? Somehow, I doubt that it was just because Peter had already jumped off one roof and was up on another.

I'm really thinking he's still channeling Nathan's ability to fly because of the whole psychic thing, though.

And Matt! Yay for Greg Grunberg! I don't have a giddy crush on him like everybody else but he is awesome. Matt's telepathy is very cool, and I feel very sorry for the poor guy for getting dumped on off of circumstantial evidence and ... well, hearing voices from other people's heads.

Having seen a little more of Niki's powers, I like it MUCH better. She lost four hours, and during that time she changed clothes, got a new shiny car, cleaned up the garage, and found a spot to bury the dead guys. Damn, she's more efficient when she's schizophrenic than when she's not.

Claire and her dad are cute and yet so very, very creepy together. I mean, he stole that videotape of her trying to kill herself. That's terrifying. Oh, and the effects of her head getting turned all the way around were so crappy and yet, HEEEEEE.

And Hiro! HIRO! Five weeks?! I just ... I can't even. *flails*

Meanwhile, Mohinder and his wee new friend need to hook up and fight crime solve mysteries together.

I love this show, too! *Flails with you*

I don't know about Mohinder's new friend. She cozied up to him awfully quickly. I think she's a spy.

And Matt. I adore Matt. *Snuggles him*

And Peter. Whether he was channeling or not (which I agree with you on), he is special. Yay!

But this Siler character is creeping me out. I don't like this kind of bad guy.

Peter is like Rogue. He can sense nearby powers - at least that of his brother - and channel them. When he does this, though, he leeches them. That's why Nathan suddenly couldn't fly once he grabbed Peter. It's why Nathan was sweating - because he had to run up the stairs. At least, that's my theory.

The real question is, who's the brain-eating ice-man?

[identity profile] apocalypsos.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying desperately not to think Mohinder's cute new friend is evil. I like her, damn it, and he looks hotter in relationship to another person. (Even though it makes total sense.)

Ooo, I like that theory. It makes sense.

[identity profile] lunarknightz.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I really think Peter's channeling Nathan's powers, too. Kind of a hybrid of Xavier's and Rouge's powers, in a way.

Hiro can time travel. And that is just awesome.

Mom and I watch this and we were all like, NO! and WHAT? by the end! :D

I have to say, so far, they've done a good job of using there female characters. Usually, by episode two I either don't care about the females or hate them. That I'm able to say I adore several of them? is AWESOME!

And, Clea Duvall! *licks her*

[identity profile] milkshake-b.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
And that gun was, like, nearly bigger than she was!

The brooding on the rooftop did it for me: please, someone tell me that their naming the angsty New York floppy-haired superguy "Pete" was intentional.

I think that Peter is pulling in other people's powers, too - like Synch, maybe? - because he DREW the walking on AIR thing, apparently, while he was in the hospital! Like Isaac!

When they did the reveal that Hiro went to the future, and then they put him back on his subway? I did this combination of *victory arms* because it was SO AWESOME and *hugs self protectively* because AUGH!

I love this show so SO MUCH.

I don't know about Mohinder's new friend. She cozied up to him awfully quickly. I think she's a spy.

And there's the gun. Do a lot of girls who work at antique book stores look that badass when holding a gun? 'Cause I'm thinking not.

But she rescued lizard!Mohinder, so she can't be all bad. Maybe she's just borderline and she'll change sides later. Just 'cause.

(As an aside, if anyone asks, I did not do a happy flappy-hand thing when I saw the ascii art version of the funky symbol. Really.)

Not Rogue! Synch! Synch!

[identity profile] callmesyd.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Synch didn't leech them, though. Leech leeched them. (But couldn't then use them. SO MANY MUTANTS.)

I dunno. I mean, we've got power negation + some sort of empathy.

I totally thought she was, like, 16 when I first saw her. Which, ew.

[identity profile] squee1123.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
...wow I think you may have covered all of my flaily bits in EXACTLY the same order that I did.

and covered the same points. its...a little creepy.

BUTOMGYES on ALL fronts.

(yeah neither did i - i also totally did not squeal - or kick my legs into the air at the end)

[identity profile] dragonsinger.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
*Nods* I want her to be good, too, because I could totally ship them. But I don't know...she seems too perky.

[identity profile] kkglinka.livejournal.com 2006-10-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
And she knew how to hold it, observed quickly, and looked pissed at being unnecessarily protected, which cost her the shot. Can we call her the Pink Panther?

I'm trying to figure out Niki's powers, I'm rather confused.

Girls who work at antique bookstores are likely not usually allowed to take home books in the 85-300K price range for their neighbors to read, no matter how much the neighbor in question might enjoy it. :) So that had me suspecting her from that point on....

Schizophrenia is NOT a superpower. So right now her character is lost on me.

...I...saw it for the first time today and I wanna see the (what, one other episode). but but. The head thing. SO gross.

I <3 it.

Looks like it's developing to be Psychic Projection....

Maybe it was in crappy condition... Maybe someone spilled coffee on it.

It's such an odd thing to make up, though. She said that she usually shared her food with him, so why not just say she wanted the bring cookies over or something? If she's lying, she's terrible at it.

If the writers DID look up the value ahead of time, it's a Clue. If not, and it was just a good hook for the convo that followed, eh, what else is new? :)
