A couple more comments about tonight's "Heroes" episode ...

[apocalypsos]

-- Guys, Candace isn't a shapeshifter, she creates illusions. You can tell in the scene in Isaac's studio ... you can't see Simone's body when she walks into the room but as soon as the cops leave and Simone changes the real Simone reappears on the bed.

-- I don't think I can handle anti-incest Paire shippers anymore. A few are really starting to scare me. Which is weird because you'd think it'd be the unclefuckers who'd be scaring me, and yet. *has headache*

-- I'm still trying not to think about how much I want to rifle through the drawers in Linderman's gallery. *WANT*

And now the effect they used for Candace's "shifts" make more sense. I was thinking they were kind of crappy for a shapeshifter. Also, word on Linderman's collection. The number of swords that computer flipped through alone...

And of course it isn't incest. Claire was born of sunshine and rainbows. And possibly Mr. Muggles.

Mr. Muggles for the win!

You know what makes me laugh about Linderman's gallery? You can pop up a picture of the item on the computer, and it will even open the drawer for you.

Yet you still have to wheel a metal staircase to get to the top drawers.

*laughs* Yeah, you'd think there'd be a mechanism of some sort to get the item to the requester. Heh.

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

It's almost as annoying as the eject button on a DVD player. You can open in remotely, but you still have to drag your ass over their to remove the item.

...why not just open the drawer yourself? ^_^

Thanks. I was trying to figure that out while I was watching the episode, and then I got distracted by the need to jump up and down and squeal.

How does that work? Superpowers of denial?

How does that work? Superpowers of denial?

Pretty much. If I had to guess (not having bothered to look), they're probably whipping up massive amounts of loopy, complicated AUs.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You know, it's the ones who just AU them as not related, I can handle. You don't like incest but you like Peter and Claire together? Write an AU. Knock yourself out.

But some of them are STILL trying to theorize they're not really blood relations on the show, and it's like, "Uh, no."

[meinterrupted]

The big theory on the anti-cest Paire shippers is that Peter was adopted. He's a foster kid, ala Claire, now that we know that Mama Petrelli is awesomely kickass and knows what's going on.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what annoying me right now. It isn't like Claire's search for her biological parents which we got to hear about from day one -- it comes from nowhere but a wide-eyed desperate hope that they're not writing something skeevy.

Seriously, just because Mama Petrelli knows what's going on does not have to mean Peter is a foster child. The simple explanation -- which, regardless of the shocking reveals on this show, is usually the case -- is that either she or Papa Petrelli had powers and passed them on, which would explain how she knew about Peter and Nathan's abilities and why she would go to such lengths to get Claire back into the family. Mama Petrelli's awesome beyond the telling of it, but I really don't see that woman going all Angelina Jolie over a foster child with superpowers. (And why stop with Peter if that were the case? They're rich and obviously there are many of these kids out there.)

wait...so they ship Claire and Pete but theyre anti-incest? or am i messing things up?

also? candance is a fucking bitch and im not sure if i like it or not...

And ANOTHER! um, so this "Claire being secreted away" thing means what for Zach?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's mostly the people who were shipping them at the very beginning of the season but were fairly obviously against incest. Since I was pretty sure that Nathan was her father from day one, I was kind of sitting there covering my eyes waiting for the oncoming storm because I could see the wank coming a mile away.

The ones who can simply shrug and go, "Okay, I'll just AU them as not related," are fine, but some ... *winces*

[medie]

Yeah for a while I was waffling between shapeshifter and hypnotic projection. Hypnotic projection's *WAY* cooler *G*

...you do know NBC have faked a website for the Lindemann gallery, right? I could have sworn I got the url here...

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw it already. You can't see it all, though! *whines*
