fembuckDefinitely better then the premiere episodes. I actually stopped using the computer and paid attention to this one.
Very interested in what's going on with Tracey. I really and truly believed that she was Niki just suffering from being taken over by another personality (you know that the bomb blast just traumatized her so much a new personality popped up), though her being Niki's twin/clone does explain how she was so established in her job in such a short period of time.
I like Tracey's power (mostly because it keeps on reminding me of Emma Frost ... and yes, I know Emma doesn't actually freeze things, but her name is Frost and so it reminds me off it okay! OKAY! Leave me alone! Stop picking on me, you mean lovin' meanies!)
The scene with Micah also really got to me. That poor kid. I don't know, I hope in some way that Niki's not really dead or something. That kids been through enough, he doesn't need to lose his mom too. *sniffs* Poor Micah.
Angela Petrelli is a scary mofo. Seriously. I can't believe she gave her hot assistant to Sylar so that he could probe her brain. I was like, Angela you pimp, and then Sylar was all washing blood off his hands and I was like "Note to self, RUN AWAY after letting Angela take me behind by middle school". Jeez.
Still not a huge fan of the Gabriel Petrelli thing though.
Enjoyed Claire and Pyra (I forget what bio-mom's name is). Pyra was kind of badass in the crate thing. And I get changed!her!diapers mom territorialness, but Pyra was right about smothering her just being the quickest way to chase Claire away. Then again, Pyra didn't help her case with her 'just be a 17 year old girl' chat. Claire was already plotting during that hug (also, way to come off as a complete creeper in that scene Hayden. She was freaking me out for the whole thing. I thought she was gonna take Pyra out or something)
Peter's free. Whatever.
I continue to be over Hiro and paid next to no attention to what was going on with him, so that whole storyline remains like 95% a mystery to me.
I'm definitely glad to see things that things improved from last week.
Oh, yeah. Parkman was in it. See comments about Hiro for my thoughts on that.

Date: 2008-09-30 02:54 pm (UTC)That scene, and Olga Sosonovka's cameo, was *just* enough to keep me going for another week. At least we got some closure (*sniffle* R.I.P. Niki) but it sucks that there'll be no more Micah, or Monica apparently. And don't get me started on killing off Francis Capra after only three friggin' episodes. Oh why couldn't it have been Peter instead.
Pyra didn't help her case with her 'just be a 17 year old girl' chat.
Jesus case, at this point, *I'd* make a better parent than any of these knuckleheads. No, Claire can't go out and save the world right now, doesn't mean she can't learn how to friggin' DEFEND HERSELF! Because, as Claire pointed out, being a 'normal teenaged girl' has worked out so well for her.
It's just, at this point, I just hate *way* too many of the characters TPTB are obviously too in love with to kill, ie, Peter, Sylar, Matt (seriously, why is Matt still alive?). That and the complete stupidity of too many other characters - Claire, Hiro, Mohinder, hell, I'll even throw in Angela. I'm just having a hard time reconciling that the reasons why I fell in love with the show in the first place, the anticipation of what Heroes was going to be and what TPTB produce* are going to be two completely separate things.. and never the twain shall meet.
*Seriously, with such a large ensemble cast, a universe of powers to explore, I wish the PTB would get the memo that it doesn't have to be ALL ABOUT PETER!! Of course, I'll take it all back if Mr. Bennett actually kills Sylar.. and the mofo *stays* dead.

Word. Monica was one of the only things that I kind of liked about season 2. Dana Davis is a kickass little actress. I would take Monica over about half of the characters on this show. And, it's like ... could they make Micah's life suck anymore? The Petrelli's are like invincible and never die, but Micah has to be an orphan? FUCK YOU PTB!
Oh why couldn't it have been Peter instead.
God, I know. I hate his stupid face so much. Every time Peter shows up on screen, a part of me runs away and hides until he's gone again. If I never saw Peter again, it would still be too much!
doesn't mean she can't learn how to friggin' DEFEND HERSELF! Because, as Claire pointed out, being a 'normal teenaged girl' has worked out so well for her.
Trufax. It's like, "take the girl down to the Y, and get her some karate lessons!" Shit, yo!
I just hate *way* too many of the characters TPTB are obviously too in love with to kill, ie, Peter, Sylar, Matt (seriously, why is Matt still alive?).
I know. I'm SO OVER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS!
That and the complete stupidity of too many other characters - Claire, Hiro, Mohinder, hell, I'll even throw in Angela.
Word. I liked all of those characters originally, but they are totally starting to bug/have bugged for a while. And, I hate that they're making me hate Angela with this Sylar bullshit. She was downright idiotic this episode. I love Angela too much to watch this shit.

Date: 2008-10-03 02:02 am (UTC)She was the one who made the briefcase switch with the Haitian (*sigh* Why does he still not have a name?). Eons ago she played Bianca's girlfriend on All My Children, plus she's married to the guy who plays Mohinder. Heh, I'm all for nepotism that brings teh hotnezz to my screen!
It's like, "take the girl down to the Y, and get her some karate lessons!" Shit, yo!
Heh, I think what makes it so bad is that they had to make Claire stupid by not having her point out that, you know, her father is out there fighting superpowered humans AND HE DOESN'T HAVE A SUPER POWER!! Sure, maybe Claire can't take on Sylar, doesn't mean she can't take on anyone else. The girl CANNOT DIE!! If that doesn't make her the perfect candidate for taking on evil, I don't know what is. Oh that's right, using the psychopathic serial killer with mommy issues.
Of all the things I find so hair-pulling frustrating is the PTB's insistence that characters should *never* interact with each other.After all the build-up during season one of these people finally coming together to fight evil, they're all - AGAIN - right back where they started alone! Wanna give Claire something to do? Put her with Hiro and Ando, or, I don't know, let her actually interact with her biological father. Angela wants an agent in her pocket? You'd think she'd want to be closer (read: manipulate) to the grandchild that can't die!! Or, after all the tension between them last year, pair her up with Elle. Oh that's right, two characters of the same sex interacting would make them gay (unless it's Hiro and Ando but since Hiro's asexual that's okay).
And that's just *one* character!! I just don't get it. Hell, even Lost has Jack talking to someone not Kate or Locke on occasion.
GAH! Sorry about the rant. I guess I wouldn't be so fangrrly, foaming at the mouth if there was a part of me that still didn't love it so!
:D
Date: 2008-09-30 04:23 pm (UTC)"The scene with Micah also really got to me."
Oh, I know, right? That was heart wrenching. And... since I couldn't see or hear anything last week, I had no idea Nikki was dead, so... Needless to say, I was surprised.
"Then again, Pyra didn't help her case with her 'just be a 17 year old girl' chat."
Yeah... I loved the crate thing, but that pretty much ruined it. She's supposed to be a rebel, or something, isn't she? I mean, she was living in a freakin' trailer park. *shrugs* Anyway... I also sympathize about Parkman and Hiro. They're not quite what they could be. Although, I'm pretty sure that one painting depicted him as having a baby with the speedster. THAT'D be cool.
