Post-Heroes spec

-- 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?

Heh. I keep watching and thinking that Nathan didn't nearly do that older-sibling-to-younger-sibling headsmack of trying-to-knock-some-common-sense-into-your-ass that some of us are so found of doling out. ;)

It seems as though Nathan may have been too busy looking out for himself to do much in the way of guidance for young Peter. *scowls*

Yeah, this is why I prefer Peter to Nathan. Nathan had his great moments with Hiro and with the flying thing on his own, but when he's around Peter he's punching a lot of buttons I have regarding using the people around you without giving anything back in return and jerking people around using the "for their own good" excuse. Peter has his braindead moments but at least he's on board with the whole public service heroic ideal that Nathan is ironically trying to project as part of his political campaign.

A thought I've had regarding "Petrelli wins in landslide" is that it's part of the nuked-NYC future they're trying to prevent. Nathan's storyline is suggesting to me a crisis point where he has to choose between being a real hero (or at least helping and/or saving Peter) or being a politico, and he winds up redeeming himself by sacrificing his career to save the world.
