Oh, "Heroes."

apocalypsosYou toy with me so, and I must be a masochist because you need to do it a LOT.
Oh, Peter. You're kind of lame, but I like you being kind of lame especially when you're being a thousand kinds of cute with Claire. I do not even get it. I'm not a huge Claire/Peter shipper or anything, because he's thirty and she's still in high school and that's just icky (GRADUATE, damn it, I'll feel better), and yet at the same time, AWWWWW. And was it just me, or was the watch that Peter was wearing in his dream Sylar's? I mean, even if it's not, it seems a little strange that would be so prominently featured in that shot when there's no reason for him to need the damn thing in the dream.
And Claire, who just gets more awesome week after week. I love that her dad is so protective of her that he just keeps making these really creepy choices to save her, and yet I kind of love how the Haitian guy is now going to have her lying to her dad about knowing about her abilities. (Although honestly, he wants Claire to forget she's invulnerable? Dude, she's going to notice again sooner or later. Probably sooner considering how often she pratfalls and impales herself on things.) But, NOOOOO! He made Zach forget! Bad Haitian guy, making Zach forget! *smacks him with newspaper* On the other hand, repeatedly making Mrs. Bennet forget? BWAHAHAHA! Why do I feel an insane urge to write that story, about Mrs. Bennet constantly noticing and the Haitian guy getting more and more tired of having to make her forget every other week? Because ... heh. Comedy gold, people.
I'm going through Nathan-flying withdrawal. I want to see him fly shirtless again, damn it. It's entirely possible there's nothing hotter on this entire show than Nathan flying shirtless.
Also, aw. Poor deadstupid Eden.
But the best part of all? Ando. Ando and his expert sidekicking and his ability to make a reaction shot that will have me in stitches and his awesome common sense which everybody else seems to be lacking sometimes in the face of all this DESTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Meanwhile, reading vague Grey's Anatomy spoilers has led me to get attacked by a plotbunny. So Spoilerfix has some vague-ish line about a future episode where one of the doctors is nauseous and sore all over, and my brain went to a bad place when Addison and Alex hook up for a clean guilt-free all-for-fun-and-no-angst-allowed affair, a relationship free to implode at any moment, and the two of them have their fling and amicably give it up after a while, and they're working together and being all cool and heroic with newborn babies and their moms, and THEN ... Addison turns up pregnant with Alex's baby.
And she debates telling him for a while and then she does and they agree that hooking back up together would be a baaaaaad idea because, you know, they're not stupid, but then it's this big comedy of errors where they have to tell people and everybody is like, "You two? Seriously?" And Addison expects Alex to be all macho and a big pig about the whole thing and he turns around and buys a metric assload of teeny little blue onesies with pictures of basketballs and footballs and baseballs on them, because, come ON.
And then it will turn out to be a girl, and Addison will laugh her fucking ass off.
But then Alex will look all stunned and awed and goes to show off the baby to EVERYONE, like all the doctors and the patients and the security guards and the cafeteria workers and ... well, EVERYONE, and Addison feels really bad about that laughing thing.
Okay, a little bad.
Yeah, all right, not really bad at all. *snickers*
Now I have to go take a shower and get my new car. HI, NEW CAR! *waves* I think I'm going to call her -- and I'm sure she's a girl this time -- Jane, You Ignorant Slut, if only because I know she'll be completely oblivious to the shit she's put me through the past week. Heh.

Date: 2006-12-05 05:42 pm (UTC)I'm just trying to figure out if Sick Peter means anything, or if its just him seriously needing a blood transfusion since he lost about half of it in his fight with Sylar and hasn't had Claire around to help him regenerate it faster. I didn't even notice the watch.

Date: 2006-12-05 05:48 pm (UTC)Obviously she was acting out out of guilt over Papa Suresh, and worry about Claire and Peter...and rage that EvilDaddyGlasses doesn't care about keeping Isaac hooked on heroin, and that he doesn't want to ignore his superiors and do away with Sylar.
So yeah, stupid, with the best of intentions.
Because it didn't occur to her that HRG and the Haitian are why Sylar's powers weren't working.
And you need to write the fic about Mother Bennet going all dotty from the Haitian.
You need to.
It is a moral imperative.

Date: 2006-12-05 06:03 pm (UTC)Anyone read The Stand? Anyone see a parallel between the Eden/Sylar scene and the Dayna/Flagg scene? Both women, after getting smashed through a window, tries to keep their brains from Big Evil Supernatural Guy by killing themselves before they can get to it?
Dayna stabbed her head on a piece of shattered window, Eden blows her brains out. Still somewhat similar.

Date: 2006-12-05 06:16 pm (UTC)I think that once Peter leeches a power, he can use the power in his clairvoyent dreams. His first dream was pure claivoyence; he was seeing what was happening to Nathan right at that moment, possibly because as brothers Peter has stronger empathy with him. Then, he leeches Nate's flight, and the next dream he's flying with Simone's dad. Then, he leeches Isaac's precog painting, and he's dreaming the future, or more likely a dream-confused version of the future.
I'm betting that's Sylar exploding after absorbing Radioactive Man; we've seen that when Sylar steals he amps the power up incredibly (compare the poor telekinetic's power level with Sylar's). You do that with radiation powers and, well, Boom.

Date: 2006-12-05 06:24 pm (UTC)And I almost forgot that the Haitian was wandering around the building. I'm not sure how far Peter's range is, but if he could pick up powers through a wall or door, there's another one to add to the list.
Btw...

Date: 2006-12-05 07:11 pm (UTC)We don't know that for certain. That guy didn't want his powers, so he can't have been practicing much or trying very hard. Sylar is obviously more determined than any sane person, but also his understanding of how things work may be giving him an advantage in actually using the powers he steals. (I suppose that could be described as amping up, but really it's more an issue of efficiency.) Also, it's possible that Sylar grabbed more than one teek's powers. Just to be safe, you know. ;)
It could just be an issue of control, really. Presumably radioactive guy's powers gradually grew, so he developed some degree of control over them. Sylar might not have had time to get used to them. His understanding of how things work might compensate a lot, but if Sylar is becoming less stable with each new power...
Or it really was Peter, and he came into contact with radioactive guy. But he didn't have a scar, did he?

Date: 2006-12-05 09:56 pm (UTC)I was totally confused about Issac. He just - *walked out* of super-secret bunker thingy? And got on a bus or whatever? That seemed odd.
And i was *so annoyed* that we didn't get anymore forward movement in the story!
But super-happy Issac got his painting on without drugs, although he makes a very pettable junkie...
*cough*
Anyway. Yis. It was all good but i wanted *more*! More!
I also loved how Matt and Peter sort of feedbacked each other into a headache. Heh.

Date: 2006-12-06 01:02 am (UTC)and my thoughts were that in his Peter-go-boom dream he merged into where Mohinder was. becasue thats what happened isnt it? like Mohinder climbs out of his cab and then suddenly it shifts and mohinder is NO WHERE but Pet is where he was standing.
(and yeah the claire being 16 and pete being 30 is kinda creepy but CUTE in a creepy way)

Date: 2006-12-06 03:43 am (UTC)It looked similar, but then again so did the overcoat and general dark-clothes theme that he was going for. However, Sylar's watch is broken and stuck at a particular time -- seven minutes to midnight, in fact, which helps explain that one episode title -- and the one Peter was wearing in the vision-sequence definitely wasn't showing anywhere near that time.
As is usually the case with such things, the Powers That Be sent their seer one hell of a confusing message. *grin*
Am I the only one thinking that it wasn't precisely the location they'd stuck Sylar in that negated his powers, but something else entirely? Like, say, Mr. Bennet, who (while present) was unaffected by either Sylar's powers or Eden's (back in "Six Months Earlier")?

Oooo, I like that idea. I have this belief, now, that since they showed us Peter being the exploding man in the dream, it CAN'T really be Peter.
On the other hand, repeatedly making Mrs. Bennet forget? BWAHAHAHA!
Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only person who found that absolutely hilaaaarious. Heeeeee.
But the best part of all? Ando. Ando and his expert sidekicking and his ability to make a reaction shot that will have me in stitches and his awesome common sense which everybody else seems to be lacking sometimes in the face of all this DESTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Ando is the best thing ever, and this episode really cemented it for me. As you say, it's the reaction shots and the common sense. :)
