-- Okay, so everything happened just as Isaac painted it except for the painting of Hiro and Ando showing up. Which makes me wonder, what if the paintings were out of order and Hiro and Ando are supposed to show up later rather than supposed to have shown up that night?

-- So we've got two timelines. In the first, Hiro doesn't show up in Odessa until the day with Charlie and she doesn't know him, and she dies. In the second, Hiro arrives in Odessa practically in Charlie's lap during her birthday party spends months in town to the point where the diner staff know him, and ... uh, she's still dead. Unless this is all being faked to throw off Sylar and Hiro and Charlie are in hiding together. What? If anybody could pull that off, it'd be Hiro.

-- Hiro and Charlie. *squeals* I swear, I haven't shipped a randomly-appearing-in-one-episode relationship on a TV show this hard since Tom and Alana on The 4400, although admittedly theirs was already gone further by the end of that first episode.

-- YAY, Zach! I want to keep him like a puppy. I totally would have had a crush on him if he'd been my best friend in high school, regardless of all the homosexuality. (God knows I've got precedent. *eye roll*) He's a gay Wiccan sidekick. How awesome is that?

-- Two Mohinders in one dream is now my new nightly aspiration. HUMMINA.

-- So Peter got a hit off Claire and off Sylar. Things should get really interesting when THAT pops up.

-- Thoughts on the preview for next week: A.) Is it just me, or did it look like Nathan deliberately drove into those highway barriers?, B.) Hiro made Charlie a roomful of origami cranes! EEEEEE!, C.) Eden got pulled over by Matt? Heeeeeee, and D.) Holy crap, Chandra called Mr. Bennet about Claire? Really? So Chandra only just figured out how to find these people but it sounded from the story Mr. Bennet told Isaac that he knew about these people way back when he first took in Claire. I really want to know exactly where they're getting this information about these people.

-- All right, kids, who's got a screencap of Chandra's list?

I know, right? I was waitin' for it. So either her crazy sister is IN HER BRAIN, or Niki really IS crazy and her second personality just happens to have Jessica's name (which would be a total cop-out, c'mon)

So I'm wondering if Niki went to the tombstone 'six months ago' (*hee*) and that's when she started getting weird? What's the timeline on when she took the money from D.L.? *ponder*

*flails with you!*

Oooh, oooh, oooh! I want to put money on them being twins and having creepy twin powers and this being a result.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

According to the official info I've seen on Niki, she's thirty-three, which means they couldn't be twins.

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

Damn. That would have neatly explained everything.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I know. Now it just gets THAT MUCH MORE COMPLICATED. *headdesk*

I like Peter, too, if it's any consolation. When I smack him upside the head, it's with love, see.

But it's part of why I'm happy! It's been far too long since I had a show with truly intricate and well-done arcs and backstories. I find that to a certain degree I'm content to just let the writing carry me along and paint pretty pretty pictures.


Peter is pushing several buttons of mine that it's possible Peter Parker cheerfully installed when I was addicted to the Spider-Man cartoon in the ninties.

The big question is ... does DL know about Jessica the sister?

Cause if he knows the name, and Jessica and him had a history of not getting along ... then the moment he hears that it might just click as to what is going on.

Would be interesting to know if her power is sister-related only, or if it's a medium-esque power in general and it's just the sister whose spirit she found first.

Argh. This show, I love, but the amount of rampant speculation (often contradicting from one moment to another as I go 'ooh, or ...') running through my brain is going to shut down higher functions like work ability ;)

Bloody hell I need some heroes icons.

Meh. The official info is notoriously bendy when they want it to be. She definitely could be the younger sister, but my money's on them being twins. And possibly's there's child abuse/molestation mixed into that mess, because there was that one shot in the preview of her grabbing an older man by the throat and saying "Hello, Daddy. It's me, Jessica."

There was that whole mirrored conversation between Jessica and Niki back in "Better Halves". Jessica said "I did what had to be done -- like I always do."

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't argue that. They play with that info to fit their needs, God knows. And I don't doubt for a minute the child abuse/molestation angle, perhaps with it ending in Jessica's bodily demise or disappearance.

I'm so glad it's a long Thanksgiving weekend. I need to write my Niki/Jessica background fic before it gets jossed all to hell by next week's ep. : )

Yeah, 33 for Niki could mean either a 3-year age discrepancy or the show is supposedly taking place in 2009. (Having just gotten out of a discussion for whether the new Who totally screwed up Rose's DOB or is really taking place a few years into the future, this is a familiar debate.) I'm still on board with the twin idea.
