Heroes 1x12 - Godsend Commentary
Fuckin-A! Goddamn that was truly satisfying. The only thing that could have made it better if I was eating pancakes while watching. (Note to self: Next week make pancakes to eat while watching!) Well, I guess eating pancakes that were made for me by Kristanna Loken or Ali Larter would have been even better, but I'm not greedy, lol.
Because this is an immediate post episode squee, I'm sure I'll only touch on like a fraction of the awesomeness of the episode, but here goes anyway...
Nessica = love. Or should I say Jessica equals love. I literally let out a "goddaaaaaaaamn" at the last line of the episode. "Who needs God when you've got me *bad-ass stare*" *swoon* I flove Jessica. That hand grab and night-stick snapping of bad-assery was awesome, I was "whoop whooping" I freely admit it. Plus, padded cell Nessica is hot, seriously giving someone tranq's in the ass while they're in a straight jacket shouldn't be hot, but such is the overwhelming power of the Larter. Also, Niki begging for Jessica's help at the end is definately going to inspire some Sanderscest fic when I get some free time. [Borat]Sexy time![/Borat]
Hiro is awesome. I loved everything Hiro this episode. Sometimes I can find him a bit much but he was just perfect this episode. I loved watching him tell the story of the Bushido warrior, Masi really knocked that out of the park. I would love to have Hiro as my awesomely geeky Japanese history teacher. Plus, his "I'm going to take it back" after he realized the sword was a fake was comedy gold. Then his whole interaction at Isaac's was great. "Just like Mr. Isaac drew me, only my head is not so round" bwah! Plus the whole coversation with Nathan, which was just as funny even though I saw it in the preview. Totally looking forward to the road trip back to Vegas.
Also, I'm glad that Simone is now on board with everything, I actually enjoyed her for the first time when she geeked out at the end. If she continues to be enthuasiastic and helpful, I might have to get off her hate train. Though I have to admit that that picture of Tawny Cypress holding onto Ali Larter like they were secret lovers softened me up towards her a little.
Claire, Claire, Claire. Not only did Claire break my heart and then totally turn it around and make me smile with her awesomeness, but Hayden looked beyond gorgeous. Seriously, she was just stunning tonight. She really needs to hurry up and be eighteen already. Also, I'm glad that Zack is back in the fold, Claire needs Zack, they are bffs 4evah! Also, I kind of love the Haitain when he's around Claire, and yet again Hayden manages to have inappropriate chemistry with an older male character. They really need to get Claire and Jessica on screen together so that Hayden can use her mad chemistry powers and Ali can use her insane sexiness to bring some inappropriately hot girl!slash to the show!
Mr. Bennett rocks! I love this guy more and more. I totally dug his pwning and mockery of Matt. Anyone who mocks Matt has my undying love. Too bad Stacey Haiduk's only role on the show seems to be showing up to mock Matt. Too bad we didn't get to see Haiduk and Mr. Bennett on screen together, but the producers probably thought people would be mad is their tv melted from sexy.
I kind of love this that this show, or at least Milo and Adrian, are bringing the Petrellicest like they're the male equivalent of Xena/Gabrielle or Buffy/Faith. I mean, that's gotta be on purpose from the actors or the writers, and I love it. Bring it, guy, bring it.
Matt continues to suck.
Mohinder continues to bore (unless he's in scenes with Mr. Bennett)
Edit: OMG, I almost forgot to mention the love that is Christopher Eccleston! The "invisible man" is totally going to rock. I loved every moment he was on screen, and his crazy manhandling of Peter rocked. I cannot wait to see more of him and his shaggy!man crazy.
And I cannot wait for everyone to meet up in Vegas.
Um, can it be next Monday now?

I thought that they were going to leave it open ended so that Thomas Dekker could return to the show should Sarah Connor Chronicles not get picked up. Yes, no?

wordy word mc word.

I just read on
Hanna from the "Wireless" promo is also kind of smoking.
All of this means that if there is no girl!slash on the show I'm gonna kill someone involved with it, because with 5 hot chicks on the show, someone's gotta be eye shagging someone. It's the only decent thing!

Seriously, she had mad screen prescence in this episode. I love the chemistry she had with Zach and the Haitian. Not that I'm a Zach/Clarie shipper but I love them as best friends *with a secret*. Also, I know that he's not 'cause Claire is at all with the darkness, but Haitian gave off crazy "I'm your daddy/I care about you vibes" during his meetings with Claire.
no subject
Word. Hayden is turning out to be the prettiest little chemistry machine.
Also, I know that he's not 'cause Claire is at all with the darkness, but Haitian gave off crazy "I'm your daddy/I care about you vibes" during his meetings with Claire.
Yeah, he does give off some brotherly/fatherly "I'm here to protect you and take care of you vibes", that goes along perfectly with him mindwiping people left right and center but saving Claire.

Yes this whole bit needed to be highlighted because it is all so very very true. I loved that "God" line from Jessica. I thought Sanderscest was seriously going to happen right then and there. Also when they pressed her against the glass to cuff her I thought "God that's hot!" Yum!
I loved Simone this ep and that pick of her with Ali is tres sexy!
Hayden was gorgeous as usual and just amazing this ep. I'm glad that she went to Zach. It made me so happy.
Hiro just reminded me of why I love him so much. I really really do. I heart him muchly!

LMAO so true!

I know! As soon as she pleaded for help, I was like "Sanderscest! Sanderscest!" I mean padded room Sanderscest is just too delicious. Jessica breaking them out of the straight jacket and telling Niki she'll protect her, and Niki apologizing for not trusting her and getting them into this mess. Then Jessica telling her she forgives her, and going on to show her how much she still loves her. Awesome!
Also when they pressed her against the glass to cuff her I thought "God that's hot!" Yum!
You are so not alone, I was all over that as well. *shivers*
I loved Simone this ep and that pick of her with Ali is tres sexy!
Me too. This is the first time I've ever been able to say that, lol! I hope they keep her enthuastic and helpful, and I'll totally jump on the Simone train. Especially if her connection to Linderman means screen time with Niki. And I love the pic, Tawny's got a serious hold on Ali and Ali looks like she's lovin' it. RPS, baby!

My mom was cheering when she said that. It's so funny watching her get so involved in her shows.
Hiro makes the show. He's funny without being annoying. He's almost like, the Xander of Heroes.
no subject
You're mom is awesome, lol. My mom looked at me like a was a crazy person when I was all like, "daaaaayum, son!" She just doesn't understand my way ;)
Hiro makes the show. He's funny without being annoying. He's almost like, the Xander of Heroes.
So true. He's the funny, underdog, heart of the ensemble.
no subject
She so totally is. She's one of the bestest.
I did the same thing with my mom, lol. I think the four of us would get along quite nicely, lol.
There isn't much unlikable about him. He's better than Xander, I'm sorry to say. I'll always love Xander but Hiro has taken the Geeky, Loveable Hero place in my heart.
no subject
Oh thank God. I thought I was the only one. Plus, I don't get fandom's love of 'the Grunberg'. He just comes across as a doughy version of the IT guy (without the geek chic) who only wanders into your department because he heard there's reece's cups in the candy jar.
Not only did Claire break my heart and then totally turn it around and make me smile with her awesomeness, but Hayden looked beyond gorgeous.
Lol, she totally did. It's like they've decided to write scenes for her that only take place at sunset because of how gorgeous she looks in the light.
That hand grab and night-stick snapping of bad-assery was awesome, I was "whoop whooping" I freely admit it.
Heh, and the guards flinching everytime she moved. I'm still a bit miffed that DL doesn't *get it* when it comes to Jessica/Niki, or his culpability when it comes to *why* his wife is in jail. I'm like 'dude, it was *you* who decided to steal 2 mil that started this whole ball rolling! And you're the one walking around scot free!?!'. Yea, I know, Niki killed people and stuff but since a) she's really fucking hot and b) they were bad people who intentionally or unintentionally threatened Micah, I'm going to over look that.
One of my favorite scenes was the slashy subtext between Stacy Haiduk and Clea DuVall. Where Stacy's all 'I *know* you didn't just step out on me with DoughBoy here'. And Clea's all 'Baby, it's not what you think. You know these cuffs are just for you. We just had coffee and a stakeout'. Then Stacy's like 'whatever, you are soo sleeping on the couch for the next month'. Then Clea's like 'Sorry DoughBoy, I'm soo not hanging with you anymore. You just cost me a booty call!'.
no subject
LOL! You crack me up. And while I liked Weiss on "Alias" I have no undying Grunberg love, and think that Matt sucks total ass. Hate his useless, always wrong, whiney, loser, doughy ass. I wish he'd go off in search of some reece's cups and get off my screen. Here's to hoping Mr. Bennett pwns his idiot ass permanantly.
Heh, and the guards flinching everytime she moved.
Hee, loved it.
I'm still a bit miffed that DL doesn't *get it* when it comes to Jessica/Niki, or his culpability when it comes to *why* his wife is in jail.
Oh, I know. I'm like "dude, how many times does your 10 year have to explain it to you?!?" He's seen her switch himself, and he's still all "Duh, Niki's mean sometimes. My cat likes cat food." Idiot, fuck off and die with Matt. And totally, Jessica only had to pull that shit because D.L's stupid ass plan would have gotten them all killed.
Yea, I know, Niki killed people and stuff but since a) she's really fucking hot
lol. My logic works the same way! :D
One of my favorite scenes was the slashy subtext between Stacy Haiduk and Clea DuVall.
Okay, that whole thing was frakking hilarious, and I will now never refer to DoughBoy as anything but!
And the fact that he's stolen screen time Stacey Haiduk is just one more reason to hate him, because while we could have been watching Stacey in her FBI power pants suits, staring at people with her crazy icy eyes while having mad chemistry with Clea, we were stuck with DoughBoy looking at things really hard and being wrong.
*le sigh*
no subject
See, I was kinda meh on Weiss. Mainly because I figured he was just brought along to be the sexually non-threatening male friend who was supposed to make Vaughn look more butch in comparison.. and failed.
...and I will now never refer to DoughBoy as anything but!
See! Which is why the fandom love for Grunberg confuses me because the guy is like the epitome of beige... and doughy. Like a human shaped donut made with absolutely *no* sugar in it. And I'm all 'ya'll are going batshit over *that*?'.
lol. My logic works the same way! :D
It's fortunate that Niki/Jessica is a fictional character, and even more fortunate that I'm not serving on the jury for her trial. Because I'd be all 'how can she be guilty? No one *that* hot is ever guilty!'.
