Why don't I have a sandwich right now?

[apocalypsos]

That needs to be rectified immediately.

In other news, TV!

Oh, thank God. If I had to see Peter pulling anymore "Let's lie about your handicap!" bullshit, I was going to throw things at my television screen. And I was soooo freaking glad to see that Bathmat Breakup, particularly on Sarah's end. I absolutely adore the fact that she basically said, "I'd keep dating him, but he's an asshole." HEE. Yes, he certainly is.

The Cho brothers ... man, I know they're nice guys and everything, but I don't know what the hell their strategy entails. Haven't these guys ever played chess or a video game or anything? Every time they try to trick the other teams, it either comes off as dumb or ends with them in last place.

The Alabama girls continue to bug me, especially that crap they tried to pull by telling that guy not to give the beauty queens any help. Dude, you got your information. Get in the car and go instead of starting an international incident. Sheesh.

I still heart Dave and Mary, even if they can be shrill at times. Considering the teams we've seen in the past, "a little shrill" is something I prefer.

*****

Oh, Hiro and his little face. *smooshes him* "Vote Petrelli!" Oh, my God, I want to KEEP him.

Oh, Nathan and his little ABDOMINAL MUSCLES. *sexes Adrian Pasdar up something fierce* Yeah, somewhere between the pajamas and the flying ... oh, so much grabbyhands. And he made a sonic boom! Dude, I seriously need to write Nathan flying fic. It's like a desperate urge. Because his feelings about flying are so different from movieverse Warren's feelings about flying, and it's flying. And I know he can be slimy like only a politician can, but it's like the sexiest best kind of slimy there is.

Not much Mohinder (damn) and the Claire that was there was okay, but Claire's daddy. EEEE. I know there's that rumor that maybe he's not bad, he's just good but creepy, and I really hope that's the truth. I really kind of want him to turn out to be on the side of the Heroes, but just really, really bad at it. Heh.

I like Niki. There, I said it. I mean, okay, I really wish we'd get a fucking explanation of her powers that couldn't be interchanged with "multiple personality disorder", but I like her. She's just trying, damn it, and maybe she's not making the right decisions all the time. Maybe she's being blackmailed and has a criminal husband, but hey, at least her kid loves her. (And Ando. HEEEE. For the record, I am not allowed to ship Niki and Ando, although I am allowed to ship Niki and Nathan and let Ando be their next-door neighbor who spends a lot of time watering his lawn and waves to them as they leave for City Hall and Cam Whore Studios in the morning.)

Peter needs to get a haircut. Or a rubber band. I know they're called bangs, sweetie, but that's not because they're supposed to slam into your chin repeatedly over the course of the day.

Okay, seriously. I really hope that Isaac takes Peter's use of his powers without heroin as a sign that maybe he can do it without the drugs. I like Isaac, too, and the scenes of he and Peter working together made me like them both a lot.

Oh, Matt. All the things in the world you could do with telepathy and you use it to get your wife back? That's so cute. A little creepy, but still. Please don't go nuts and shoot everybody.

*****

And now, I'm off to watch Torchwood. You know, after I get me a sandwich. Mmmm.

I have to say, thank you for your Heroes rambly thoughts. The CBC is showing Doctor Who at the same time, and well. It's Doctor Who.

I shall keep torrenting, because dude. Hiro.

[alieneyes.livejournal.com]

I just have to say, your icon? Perfect. That is all.

[storm_dancer]

I was glad see Peter and Sara gone, for the same reasons. And I cheered my ass off at her parting shots; she was graceful but did NOT pull any punches.

The Beauty Queens and the Alabama pair are the same in my book. They're both sets of conniving bitches. I am desperately embarrassed that the latter set is from my home state.

I adore the Cho brothers for giving Team Kentucky the fast foward. Ad. Ore.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I really liked the fact that an Alabama and a Beauty Queen were standing around during the ladder challenge bitching about Peter having Sarah do it. I mean, yeah, she can, but come on, she's got one leg and the prosthetic has a blown knee. You'd think you'd take the climbing and swimming challenges and let her take the ones on flat land.

The BQ can argue all they want about personality, but we're down to six teams and I still can't tell them apart.

I'm really hoping it comes down to the Chos, Kentucky and Tyler and James. The Chos are awesome people (questionable racers, but still), David and Mary are (I think) enjoying the experience the most, and Tyler and James are ... well, Tyler and James. :)

I think we need to start a drinking game: every time Milo pushes his hair out of his face, down a shot. I think I counted at least three last night.

And pretty much everything you've said about TAR, I agree with. So, um, yay! :P

[meinterrupted]

At one point during the show, I turned to my roommate and asked "Did he grow a creepy little handlebar moustache?" No, no, just the BANGS o'DOOM

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Three? I think he was averaging one for every ten seconds he was on screen. Poor guy's having to act completely without use of that one eye. It's a wonder he's not stumbling into the sets!

[mcee.livejournal.com]

every week after heroes i just feel like sitting back and patting my belly contentedly. i never have anything to say other than "!!!!" and "mmmmm".

[kanedax.livejournal.com]

My favorite word during Heroes is GHEEEEEEE! Cuz there's really not much else to say when Hiro shows up with a sword, or Nathan makes the little cloud puff, or Forrest from Buffy shows up as Evil Gansta Boyfriend #26 with vaguely Kitty Pryde-esque powers.

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Forrest from Buffy shows up as Evil Gansta Boyfriend

Damn! I *thought* he looked familiar!

[kanedax.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had to double-check in IMDb, especially since he showed up on Smallville already this season. He's just genre-crazy, I guess.

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

I mean, okay, I really wish we'd get a fucking explanation of her powers that couldn't be interchanged with "multiple personality disorder", but I like her.

I'm beginning to think that there is, and it's that Niki is intensely strong and has some kind of MPD. She rips people apart. Normal people...cannot so much do that, no.

Okay, seriously. I really hope that Isaac takes Peter's use of his powers without heroin as a sign that maybe he can do it without the drugs. I like Isaac, too, and the scenes of he and Peter working together made me like them both a lot.

Yes, please, from your keyboard to the writers' ears. Isaac is my favorite of the menfolk, and I would really like him to not be a smack addict.

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

I think that the thing with Nathan is that he isn't letting his power become the central definition in his life, like Peter, Hiro and Claire are doing. (Yes, she's vehemently denying them, but that's still letting her power define her, albeit negatively).

He can fly and I think that he would love to fly more often (see his comments to Niki), but being a politician is his core definition and flying would seriously put a damper on that.

[tabaqui]

Ando was *so cute*! All crushing on his internet 'girl' and Niki was just totally 'wtf?', all *hands* at him being in her kitchen. In handcuffs. *snerk*

Um. Did i see wrong or did her ex *is he ex?* come through the *wall*? Hrmmmmm...

Sonic boom was *awesome* and that guy who nullifies powers or whatever, it didn't *work* on Nathan!

And i wish Mohinder had gone back with Pete, 'cause the three of them together? Just too damn *hot* for words. Yes, please, somebody figure Pete's powers out before Issac gives up or OD's and before he kills himself trying to fly.
*bounce*

Matt's too cute, and i *loved* his utterly low-key disarming of the potential robber. Good stuff!

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Sonic boom was *awesome* and that guy who nullifies powers or whatever, it didn't *work* on Nathan!

I think it's more brain nullifying... and I suspect he just didn't get a chance with Nathan.

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

I think Peter's figured that part of his powers out, he told Mohinder as much in ep.4.

[tabaqui]

Did he? Bother, guess i missed that bit. Too busy gazing at teh pretteh, i'm sure.
Neat.
:)

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

OH my god you made me realize. y'know what was so awesome about nate's flying?

he was so GOOD at it. it was effortless, and easy, and. CASUAL. he's obviously been practicing. O.o

[budclare.livejournal.com]

But he hasn't been practicing landing barefoot. Yowch. :)

[budclare.livejournal.com]

Technically we still don't know that Niki's husband is a criminal. God knows how many of the things he's accused of were actually done by mirror!Niki.

A sandwich sounds good...

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Criminal or not, he's still in trouble with the law. He might be innocent, but Niki's still got cops in her living room. ;)

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Then again, he's definitely been doing some nasty brain-wipes... so he's hardly an innocent. :-p

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

ooh no i think thats an entirely different guy. Nikki's husband was Forrest on Buffy (season 5) and Mr. Clean is not Forrest.

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Really? *frowns*

Well, that would explain why I hadn't recognized 'Forrest' although we keep seeing him. Nikki's husband we really haven't gotten much of a look at then.

I had been assuming all along they were one and the same, so I guess I missed the "different guy" reveal entirely....

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

yeah. i had thought it was the same guy too until they showed him at the very very end. and then it was even more obvious during the scenes from next week.

[scrollgirl.livejournal.com]

That's actually not the same guy. The black guy with Claire's father is somebody else.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

That's not the same guy who's been working with Claire's daddy, though.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

I know. Matt is so adorable. *Snuggles him* And Hiro, too. And Peter. And Isaac. And Nathan. And Mohinder. And....

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

heh. the entire time Ando and Niki were talking I was just thinking "its nikki/nate, its nikki/nate, ando is not her love interest"

itd be just SO CUTE though. but NO...its nikki/nate

[beanarie.livejournal.com]

Heroes had been steadily losing me up to this point, but after this week's episode it's like my favorite show of all time. I think I had this feeling all along that once they started putting all these people together it would be awesome. And, boy howdy. I want to watch it over and over again.

I'm not sure about Isaac watching Peter use his powers being a good thing. This is the guy who seemingly "stole" his girlfriend and now he can do that thing that makes Isaac special without having to get high to do it. I'd feel sort of useless and replaceable if I were Isaac.
