Clearly I need to be punished.

[apocalypsos]

I am a very, very bad person who downloaded tonight's new episode of Heroes and just finished watching it.

*smacks self on hand*

-- Oh, my God, Nathan, you FBI-informing hotass. I knew you couldn't be a complete asshole! (Okay, that's not true and I would have been perfectly happy if you'd stayed a complete asshole, but STILL.) And just ... I just ... with hitting Niki because she asked you to (yay, I'm finally starting to like something about her), and every blessedly wonderful friendly moment you spend with Hiro, and the way you don't get all flinchy about your powers or anybody else's anymore. See, THIS is why you're my favorite. *smishes*

-- Agent Quesada? HEEEEEE.

-- And Claire! Claire, who somehow managed to get on a different plane than the one she had a ticket for, get to New York, somehow get to Peter's address ... whatever, I don't care, because MAMA PETRELLI answered the door and then there was French and the Haitian and clearly I worship the Petrelli gene pool and everything that goes into or comes out of it.

-- DISASTERGASM! Seriously, that is what I had when I saw the future New York. I mean, obviously they're rebuilding and you can see cars driving in the background so it's not a complete loss. But yay, destruction! I love me some quality fictional destruction. (I also had the snotty thought that it must be several decades in the future if you consider there's buildings going up in this future and five years after 9/11 there's still nothing on the WTC site. *eye roll*)

-- Hiro! Oh, thank God you got your damn sword, and got your powers back, AND got your Ando back (\o/), but ... oh. Oh, darlin', you really need to practice with those damn powers of yours. I really hope you run into future you and he gives you some damn pointers, although I'm sure that would create some sort of weird paradox and we can't have that. Also, as much as I love Ando, I think you and Nathan need to have your own buddy comedy. Honestly, you two are gold.

-- MAMA PETRELLI. Seriously, I cannot express the awesomeness of the Haitian answering to her. Dude, it means she knows. I mean, she HAS to know about Claire's abilities if she's going to hide her and the Haitian was supposed to make sure she remembered them. And if she knows about Claire she has to know about Nathan and Peter and ... and ... oh, man, I really have to write not-as-clueless-as-you'd-think Mama Petrelli fic.

Ooo, ooo! And what if she has an ability, too, and never told the boys? *flails*

She probably doesn't but the awesomeness in my head that is her ... it wants to breed.

-- Linderman! Who is Malcolm McDowell and therefore twice as creepy even when he's making pot pie! And when you threaten to shoot him you're not allowed to have any of his pot pie! I ... I ... *grabbyhands* I love that he's offering Nathan information and that he taunts him with that bit about ending up in the White House. I'm really kind of hoping Nathan's thinking about himself and those like him, and what he told Simone about how people like them could be rounded up and put into camps or something, and how he'd be in a position to stop that if he were in the White House.

Man, I want to raid that gallery. Could you imagine the goodies that are in that place? EEEEE.

-- Not much to say on the Niki/Jessica front, other than -- a.) what happened to Micah knowing the difference between the two?, and b.) I'm thinking DL stole it from him.

-- Aw, Mr. Bennet. You don't remember that you're not supposed to be all uber-protective about Claire if you don't want the company going after her, and your wife's got to remind you about the whole plan (and how much do I love that her ringtone is dogs barking? *snickers*). Say, where is your wife when she's not a hallucination?

-- I miss Mr. Muggles more than I miss Lyle. Oh, Lyle, you're like that little sister on Family Matters, aren't you? One day we'll turn around and no one will ever mention you again.

-- I can't decide whether I like or loathe the new girl. On the one hand, much bitchier than Eden was, which is a bonus. On the other hand, what's with the Emily-the-Strange-goes-to-Catholic-school outfit?

-- I knew Mohinder wasn't a complete idiot! Not realizing he was traveling with Sylar indicates a level of intelligence a step above grapefruit and below pomegranates, so it was nice when he suddenly was like, "AHA!" Although, poor Mohinder dripping blood from the ceiling like that. I'd say poor Peter, who's getting his skull cut off, but he's also apparently getting a haircut so my sympathy only goes so far.

Funniest thing of ever. EVer/

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

MAMA PETRELLI! OMG! SHE IS SO FTW. OH THE GENE POOL OF AWESOMENESS!!!! *flails wildly*

And then and then and then " I'd say poor Peter, who's getting his skull cut off, but he's also apparently getting a haircut so my sympathy only goes so far".... Oh you are hilarious. And IT IS V. TROOO. PLZ. CUT THE HAIR OF EMO.


Finding out that Nathan was working with the FBI seriously knocked me over on my ass and pushed him up to lizzen's-favorite-character which was AMAZING as he originally was at the bottom of my favorite lists. Oh Nathan, you dollface.

and yes! Nikki wasn't irritating! WTF, HEROES. WARP MY BRAIN ALREADY.


BUT TO CONCLUDE: MAMMA PETRELLI IS SO FREAKIN' AWESOME. What a card to play. :-)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. Mama Petrelli would be my new favorite female character if my favorite weren't already Claire and therefore not an easy card to trump.

Please tell me somebody knows what she and the Haitian were saying to each other in French. It's probably something insignificant like --

"You were supposed to protect her, you idiot."
"Yeah, well, you need to start putting a leash or a bell on her or something."

-- but until I know the curiosity will KILL me.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

CLAAAAAAAAAIRE > EVERYONE.

OH BUT MAMMA PETRELLI! She's like R2D2 in that ALL KNOWING ROBOT GOD sense. Dude.

COME ON. SOMEONE IN FANDOM SPEAKS FRENCH. (Someone on your flist speaks french? TASK 'EM, OFFER PORN DRABBLES IN PAYMENT?)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

God, this would be so much easier for me if she were speaking Spanish or German. *headdesk*

From what I know of French it sounds like she says something like, "I wanted her protected. Where the hell were you?" But he's speaking so fast I can't even make a guess.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Well for all her "wtf, Haitian Sensation", it does seem that they were there to wait for Claire. .......*HAS A MOMENT OF FANGIRLISH GLEE FOR MAMA PETRELLI* She's just too awesome! And now I need to watch all the episodes with her in it to take notes. And you should definitely, definitely write fic about her being all all-knowing and FTW. :) :) RARRR and she has such a wonderful look on her face during the whole scene.

What did Pappa Petrelli do? I cannot remember -- all I know is that he was entrenched with Linderbuckets and loved Nathan best and died recently.

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

If someone can get me a transcript, I'll be happy to translate.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Okay, forgive me my dreadful phonetic spelling. This is going to be terrifyingly bad. :)

It sounds like:

"No moi ment non ensooone (?) securite. Que paras a vouz?"
"Eh-coo-tay je fetooshka (?) je pu. Ah bien eh pa-ree-say beauvoir."

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

....All I can get from that is "safe/safety" and that the first word of the second bit is "Listen". Maybe if someone can turn phonetic into actual spelling? *rueful*

[the-swordman.livejournal.com]

This is going to be terrifyingly bad. :)
Actually, it was. But not terrifyingly :)

they said
Mama petrelli : "Au moins maintenant elle sera en sécurité ! Et pas grace à vous"
(at least now she'll be safe ! And not thanks to you)
Haitian : "Ecoutez j'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu. Elle aurait bien fini par trouver sa propre voie"
(Listen, I did everything I could. She would have found her own way eventually)

Mama Petrelli has a dreadful accent but the Haitian is the real deal.

And yeah for her being the Haitian's contact. I didn't see that one coming in a million year.
All I want know is a big Petrelli family reunion, where we can learn more about Papa Petrelli. On who gave the powers to the boys, my money is on him.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heh. I figured I picked out more of what she said than what he said. Dude rattled it off so fast I could barely make out what he was saying even when I went syllable by syllable. :)

YES! Big Petrelli family reunion! Complete with an awkward Nathan-and-Claire hug and a "What do you mean, she's my niece?!" moment out of Peter. And I'm kind of rooting for Mama Petrelli to be the one who passed on the powers, if only because there is no possible way she could be more awesome right now to me than if she suddenly was like, "Oh, by the way, guess what I can do?"

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

but is Mama Petrelli is, it must be something subtle otherwise Peter would have noticed the effect by now, surely?

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

See, I'm betting on Mama having the powers too. My guess? That she can identify other supers.

I mean, she obviously already knew not only that Claire was still alive and with OWI, but WHY Claire was still alive. And OWI "just happened" to find the Haitian right when then needed him... My bet is that Mama P found him first, recruited him somehow, then sent him to OWI as a mole. After all, who better to spy for you than someone who can erase the memory of his very existence from your mind?

[okelle.livejournal.com]

Why evil? This is how I've watched the entire series so far. Plus, you can burn a backup copy of the episode and keep it forever and ever As long as you watch it on iTunes and iTunes only.

[samirant.livejournal.com]

Gotta say, I laughed and cheered when the hair fell down. I don't think anyone meant for that, but I was all, "Goodbyyyye bangs!"

[storm-maven.livejournal.com]

I just remembered. Remember when Future-Hiro came to talk to Peter and told him that he almost didn't recognize him without the scar? So, maybe that's where he got his scar from ^_^

[kanedax.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking, too. "Oop, here comes the scar."

But I must say, it doesn't seem like he'd become unrecognizable with a scar like that. I was expecting something more along the lines of slash to the face, or something.

[budclare.livejournal.com]

Hiro said "scar", but he was just trying to be polite. What he really meant was "crazy-ass bangs". Which makes all kinds of sense.

[kanedax.livejournal.com]

lol "Sorry, I didn't recognize you with those fucking weird bangs.

"Hang on, I have a sword here that might help."

[budclare.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome. But sadly Hiro had to resist the temptation, as lopping off Peter's bangs at that point in time might have made the whole universe go kablooey.

[astrothsknot.livejournal.com]

I can't comment for laughing at the last paragraph

[poisontaster]

OMG the whole episode was for the win! Mohinder was interesting! And smart! Nathan was hot and cute and smart and punched people and pointed guns! "Just stay with me." Peter was pretty and emo and is getting his hair cut! Sylar was awesome and scary and evil! Mama Petrelli is SO FTW and the Haitan was working for her ALL THE TIME! \o/ So much win. *twirls*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, my God, this episode killed me. Just ... just ... I mean, Nathan might have been playing Meredith all along, if you think about it! Nathan might know Claire's going to show up in New York, too! Because he got the phone call from Meredith in his office, and he told his mother about Claire in his office, and she told him to pay her off and ignore her in his office, which the FBI had to check for bugs. What if there was a bug that the company put in there, and they knew it, and the whole "You're a glorified sperm donor, pay her off and send them both on their merry way" conversation was a scam to make the company think they'd never take Claire back.

I'm probably wrong, but in the face of Mama Petrelli the Queen of Awesomecakes I can't see reason. *flails*

[poisontaster]

OMG I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT!!! *DANCES*

[medie]

Damn. Just...Oh Petrellis! Like Bristows but Peter's Emo irks less than Sydney's.

[fyrdrakken]

Mmkay, I'm liking this idea. If only because it allows me to work Ma Petrelli around to being awesomecakes -- that was my sticking point, being a jerk to Peter when he was trying to discover his powers and to Nathan when he found out about Claire.

[slashfairy.livejournal.com]

since i came to the show based on your squee and spoilers, it's a necessary part of it for me, yanno/ so now that i've got part one from you, 'm gonna do some stats then have part two from me torrent buddy, yanno? -giggles statistics-dizzily-

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

clearly I worship the Petrelli gene pool and everything that goes into or comes out of it.

*shuffles over to make room for you at the Petrelli family altar*

What's funny is that fandom has already gone "Wouldn't it be cool if Nathan were Claire's real dad...but nah, that'll never happen!" AND IT DID

And then fandom went "what if The Haitian were answering to Mama Petrelli...nah, never happen" AND IT DID

*g*

"What if Nathan and Hiro and Ando teamed up in the spirit of the Marx Bros with superpowers..." *waits*

[medie]

MAMA! Oh my god, I let out a little squeal of GLEEE when I realized Mama Petrelli is like, total mastermind type. The Petrellis are like the mob but prettier and cooler! And the Haitian! The French! *FLAILS* And she is so trying to out maneuver Linderman and God, I want to see a scene about that. Seriously.

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

OMG! I think I just figured why Micah can't tell any more! He hasn't gotten the latest copy of 9th Wonders! It's not that he could tell, but he'd read otherwise.

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

but he's also apparently getting a haircut so my sympathy only goes so far. HAH. Yes, that was my thoughts exactly. I saw the lock of hair drop and went HES GETTING A HAIRCUT YAY!

Also, APRIL! *flails* Thats really fricking far!

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

This episode was indeed filled with yay. I love how the whole journey with Hiro has brought out the heroic best in Ando, how the Petrellis alternate between good and evil all the damn time, HRG deciding to place trust in someone other than the Haitian and totally getting burned, Mohinder with the tuning fork...there were just so many moments of me going "THAT'S REALLY AWESOME." Things that were unexpected and clever and things that blatantly played to my inner fangirl. And I just...hate reruns. A lot.

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

I miss Eden. Mystique here just isn't cutting it as a replacement yet.

[miko-no-da.livejournal.com]

Speaking of the dog ringtone... Bennet really should have realized something was up with his wife when her phone rang and it WASN'T the dog barking. My first thought when it went off was a confused 'wtf? That's not her phone', and then it all made sense.

[alieneyes.livejournal.com]

I like how everyone has yet to mention the fact that Mohinder was on the FREAKING CEILING, bathing Peter in blood, before he's thrown against the wall by the bad guy that has plans for all the "special children". Doesn't help that there is revenge involved in the plot.

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

-- Not much to say on the Niki/Jessica front, other than -- a.) what happened to Micah knowing the difference between the two?

Who says he doesn't? Methinks he's just playing along because, well, what else is he supposed to do? And I think he's smart enough to have realized that having Jessica think he's fooled may give him an edge, especially since he can't exactly do anything about it right now anyway.

[fyrdrakken]

Yeah, that's what I was figuring. It's not that Micah couldn't tell, it's that he was playing along with "Mommy" and it was more important to establish to the viewer that DL knows than to remind them that Micah already knew.

[shinga.livejournal.com]

I'd say poor Peter, who's getting his skull cut off, but he's also apparently getting a haircut so my sympathy only goes so far.

My roommate and I said the EXACT same thing. He was all like "AAAAAH!!" and we both went "Oh thank God, he got a haircut." *L*

[lamiael.livejournal.com]

I know it's bizarre that a stranger is responding to an old Heroes post, but I worship your random meta, so whatever. :)

Anyway, I realized something- Peter getting his skull cut off? That's where his scar comes from! Everyone else probably knows this already but AH! Ok, going now.
