fembuckStill digging Heroes. This weeks episode was fun, and it was nice to see emerging badassery all around.
- First of all, Ali Larter continues to be really, really ridiculously good looking. She had some nice scenes tonight where she got to act as well as look confused and be smokin' hot. I really loved the bathroom chat with Micah. Her resting her head on his shoulder was not just cute, it was frakking cute. Also, his "it's safter to strip in the garage" little man talk and her ensuing 'wtf' face was both sweet and sad. I felt for her knowing that he knew.
I also surprisingly really like the hotel talk with Nathan. Pasdar and Larter have some good chemistry. If she wasn't being blackmailed and he wasn't Magnicient Bastard v2.0 I'd almost like them together. Alas, both of those things exist however, so I don't want to see any more of them. Still nice little scene.
IKIN! How how awesome was it to see Ikin in action. I was really hoping that she was going to put her heel through his skull, and considering the mass graveyard in the desert I'm really actually surprised that she didn't. Still seeing her go all Bristow on that asshats ass was wicked cool. Also, her "If you ever threat OUR son again" comment means that I no longer have to worry about Micah being in danger around Ikin, which makes me happy. Ikin can be as badass and psycho as she wants as long as no one hurts the little man.
- Claire. Dayuuuuum, girl. Gotta hand it to her for keeping cool on the autopsy table. I would not have handled waking up to my ribcage after nearly being raped nearly as well as she did. Hayden really sold the breakdown on the stairs as well, I just wanted to hug her. But I have to say, Claire the Destroyer at the end was just awesome. As soon as she asked to drive I was like "girlfriend is gonna crash that car something fierce!"
-Isaac. Omg, I liked you for the first time ever. I'll admit most of my hatred came from you being a bad actor in the that horrible mini-series "Empire", but finally tonight you have redeemed yourself (somewhat). For some reason the head band is hot, and the whole 'shooting up-vision-painting' sequence was pretty badass. Isaac blindly painting away with his white'd out Storm eyeballs wasn't just cool. It was frakking cool.
- Claire's dad continues to creep me the hell out.
- Peter continues to annoy me.
- Mohinder continues to look fine, but bores me. Though I did like his "he's on the table" line.
- CreepyBaldTelepath continues to be cool, though the fact that he hangs with Claire's dad creeps me out. Also, poor Weiss! Also, bring back Stacy Haiduk! She has pretty eyes.
- And last but not least, Samurai Hiro was wicked. Masi's deep voice at the end totally pwned me. Loved it. I wonder how far in the future that Hiro is from? Also, continue to love Ando, I'm kinda sorry he didn't get to run into his girlcrush Niki though. I'm pretty sure that scene would have been comedy gold.
- Also, I could totally ship Niki/Tina. You know you're close with someone when you share your homicidal fantasies, and fears of psychosis together in the bathroom while half-dressed. Also, Micah totally has two moms, because I swear they are practically raising that child together.
Can't wait until next week ...

Date: 2006-10-17 10:54 am (UTC)Yeah, I was referring to her crazylady side when I meant that Micah was safe. Seeing how crazy, and homicide happy Ikin (Niki backwards) was I worried that there would be some Micah in peril storyline where Ikin went after him for some reason. But clearly both Ikin/Niki view him as their son and love him so he'll be safe.
I'm pretty sure that creepybaldtelepath is DL, aka, Niki's baby's dady.
Possibly Spoilery:
Based on some pre-show reading there's another african-american male lead for the series, played by Leonard Roberts, that hasn't appeared on screen yet that I think is D.L. He's closer in age to Larter and I think there were some early screen shots of him in some kind of cell.
Plus, I'm beginning to think D.L. isn't actually a bad guy. I think Ikin killed his crew for some reason and DL was blamed which is why he's on the run. It's just suspicious that one of DLs boys turned up in Ikin's mass grave of crazy.

LOL. I love that Nathan is such a bastard that we think he could be fabricating an entire family! I think he's got to be married because Peter didn't blink an eye at the wife mention, and considering that he's in the public eye some go-getter report probably would've checked up on it. I do think it's possible that she's not sick, and is just a liability to him and is being kept in a basement or something somewhere though. Considering how he sold out his brother, a spouse that could cost him the election would totally be dealt with in his usual douchbaggy way.
I'm shipping Claire/Laura, so they can have naked rape bonding. Oh yes.
lol! Me too! When they shared that longing glancing in the quad, with Claire's hair whipping all around her, I was like "it's true love". I hope we get to see more of her, and Claire/Laurie bonding. I mean they've gotta talk in the aftermath of the car crash right??? Right??? *small voice* Please, lol.
And word on the not waiting til next week. I think I die a little with every hour that passes.
It's so wrong that this show is on Monday. It makes me look forward to Monday's which is just against the natural order of things!

Thanks for the DL clairification. Except now I look stupid for my roommate. Damnit. I still hope I'm right. *hopes she's right*
Peter didn't blink an eye at the wife mention, and considering that he's in the public eye some go-getter report probably would've checked up on it.
OHH. Wow, I think we totally missed the other mention. That's why we were so confused. But ok, I guess if he's mentioned her before... Ehhh... Oh Nathan, and your asshattery.

Date: 2006-10-18 03:00 am (UTC)It took me about two pages at TWoP before I realized. I was like "who is this ikiN character? I don't remember and ikiN" before I was like "ooooh" so I feel ya. Once I realized however, I became convinced however came up with it was a genius and have been using it ever since.

Yeah, last episode at his benefit gala thing he mentioned that his sick wife couldn't be there. Then he proceed to ass blast Peter (not in that way!) by telling everyone and their brother about Peter's non-existant problem with depression. Oh, Nathan such. an. asshat.
Claire/Laura is my next fic ... so don't be stealin' it!!
*removes hand from anywhere near Claire/Laura*
Ohhh, looking forward to it. *rubs hands together in anticipation*
