Speaking of catching up on fandoms ...
Nov. 24th, 2007 04:20 pm... this is where I catch up on the last two episodes of Heroes in one go. :) (Not that I haven't been spoiled already for all of this, but ... yeah.)
-- Okay, here, let me tell you a little something much more interesting than the entire backstory on Maya and Alejandro.
On the same day of that stupid wedding, Monica got up early and had half a strawberry Pop-Tart before Damon or Derrick or whatever that little snot's name is stole it and ate it just to piss her off. Then she took a shower and put on her uniform and went to work. Then she ran the register for four hours before taking a break, during which she ate some cold french fries and three chicken fingers. Then she ran the register for four more hours, during which a fat lady in a polyester pantsuit threw a plastic cup of barbecue sauce at her head. Then she went home and watched Divorce Court, although she unfortunately did not suddenly acquire the knowledge to write legal briefs.
See? Wasn't that so much more action-packed and interesting?
-- If they gave West those crappy CGI shots of flying so that they could save money for Nathan's makeup job, I suddenly approve of them in retrospect.
-- HA! Those cowboys boots Niki was wearing in the flashback are the best. It's like somebody in the costume department went, "Oh, shit, she's supposed to be trashy!" and managed to cram six months worth of accummulated trash into one cheap pair of footwear.
-- Seriously, someone has to greet Stephen Tobolowsky with, "NED?!" before he eventually gets bumped off or else I will be horribly disappointed.
-- Elle, I'll make you a deal. I won't question when you went to barber college if you stop getting hair all over Peter's meds.
-- All right, as annoying as the advertising bonanza that preceded her entrance was, Elle's growing on me. You know, like mold. Silly sociopathic mold. Which is possibly pink.
-- D'awww, DL. I'd forgotten how much I missed him.
-- If Gina's going to be airheaded fifteen-years-ago teenage rebel!Niki or whatever, is it wrong that I want her to go all out? Why stop with a baby doll dress? I want her to wear Doc Martens with it and drink a lot of Zima and be pissed she can't go to a Hootie and the Blowfish concert. Come on, show, commit.
-- Man, Mohinder is just the ultimate dipshit, isn't it? I've almost come to cherish and adore the fact that in any given situation Mohinder will somehow manage to have the best intentions possible and yet outrageously fail. And perhaps in the middle just trip over the rug and faceplant into the floor ... you know, as a tension breaker.
-- Okay, when Bennet wanted to know where West was, did anybody say, "Have you checked behind your curtains? Or under Claire's bed? Or in the corner behind the ficus?"
-- Aw, man, did they have to talk about girls finding boys like their dads? 'Cause as much as I adore Noah now I want some Claire-and-Nathan time. *sigh*
-- God, I love Mama Petrelli. Have I mentioned that lately? Particularly while venemously spitting out a confession and wearing Hollywood-issue prison garb.
-- I'm really trying not to think that West has way more chemistry with Noah than he's ever had with Claire.
-- You know, already knowing about that ending does not stop it from being ANY LESS AWESOME.

It... wouldn't actually surprise me if Noah was a bit stalkery in his youth as well. These seem like traits the Company would look for in employees.

, "Have you checked behind your curtains? Or under Claire's bed? Or in the corner behind the ficus?"
Bwahahaha :)
