...Best Damn Tapper! *Most Smartest*

No Niki ... how completely not surprising.

Maya remembers how to smile ... before crying again!

Sylar's evil (and looks good in a tank top)

Nathan shaved.

Parkman's an ass.

I like Monica (is "I learned it on TV" the new "I know Kung Fu"? It is for me!). Also, was it just me or was she channeling S1 Peter with all of her doe eyed "I'm meant for something more than this" talk?

Micah looks older. The hug was sweet, but what was with the close up of his hand on her back? Was it meaningful, or just another example of Heroes being creepy with family dynamics?

West is still creepy even when he's not actively being an ass (was creepy!West the one responsible for those wind chimes jingling, or was it the Haitian?)

Parkman's dad is an ass too. Niiiiice.

Angela stepping up to the plate for the episodes inappropriate relative chemistry! Niiiice.

No Niki (yeah, I know I mentioned it before, but someone has to remember she exists)

---

Um, yeah ... still mostly bored. Monica was like the only thing that genuinely kept my attention this episode. Although I do like that they've gone back to the murder mystery (and that we got to see Nathan!) and that we're getting some info on Freddy!Parkman and learning a bit more about the Golden Age heroes.

Next week ... the return of Niki (let's hope she gets to do more than walk dramatically), Veronica Mars, Peter's Lucky Charms, and Journeyman Tokyo Drift.

*has no expectations*

Come on Heroes, please stop sucking and get exciting again!

Ahhh, Heroes! I don't want to have to wait three months until I see you again.

Seriously, so deliciously good.

( 'How Do You Stop An Exploding Man?' comments )

All in all an awesome finale! I'm sure I missed out a bunch of awesome, but I'm still on a Heroes high and can't think of anything else right now. But that's what comment discussions are for!

*sobs* Can it be next season (or should I say, Volume Two) now?

Because Jane Vasko, Lokinator's character on Painkiller Jane is pretty much indestructible like Hayden Panettiere's character, Claire, on Heroes, a lot of comparisons have been made between the two shows - just like everyone was all like "she's a female Wolverine" when Heroes premiered. X-23 would so pwn Claire like it was her birthday though, so she's like a diet coke female Wolverine.

Also, because SciFi is part of the NBC Universal family there have been rumblings about a crossover between the shows, which led to the following exchange:

"You might be looking at great crossover possibilities," a TV critic said to Painkiller Jane star Kristanna Loken during her appearance at the press tour. "I mean, I can just see you and the cheerleader whacking the crap out of each other for hours at a time."

"She wouldn't stand a chance," replied Loken, fixing him with a cold glare.

LOL! Awww, I love you Lokinator. You can fix me with a cold glare any time

*makes super sexy clawing motion*

Also, considering that Hayden is like 5'1 (though cute as a button), I'm inclined to agree.

And now I must be getting to work!

Warning: Contains spoilers if you haven't seen "Distractions" yet.

Post-episode thoughts:

Kimiko (Hiro's sister) is hot. I hope she reappears, with or without powers.

Why did Jessica kill Oprah only to take a nap? Great escape plan there Jessie. Looks like Jessica doesn't make plans beyond "Jessica smash!" But it begs the question, if Niki's not the brains of the operation and Jessica's not the brains of the operation then ... JESSICA SMASH!

The license on Mr Nakamura's limo NCC 1701 = awesome!

Rome - 2x04

Damn, damn, damn.

Okay, so I was worried about the new Octavian, but I thought that Simon Woods did an awesome job. Also, he is sexy. Octavian always had the potential to be icy sexy, but the fact that he was played by an actual teenager always made him just short of sexy ... but now, he has crossed over into being pure sex. I really want an Octavia/Octavian reunion ... as fun as Agrippa/Octavia is right now, I need my Oct/Oct back in the same room.

( Heroes - 1x13 - 'The Fix' 5 min. preview )

*woot*

Another "Heroes" 5 min. preview up in the hizzouse. I hope that NBC keeps on releasing these things because they are pumping me up for the episodes.

This is another good one, though not as jam-packed with awesome as the last preview (*cough*no Jessica appearance *cough* I need Jessica *cough*)

There's more Hayden with lovely blowing hair talking to the Haitain by the water tower, unfortunately she's got a band in her hair so the effect is somewhat marred.

A nice little clip with Peter and Claude (the invisible man) is in there. All that I have to say about that is ... I FLOVE Christopher Eccleston. So very, very awesome.

There is an Ali appearance, but it's as Niki ... being chemistryless with D.L. Seriously, D.L should hook up with Chemistryless!Cathy over on SVU and leave their respect spouses to smolder with others. I would consider it a great favor. I mean when Ali Larter manages to have more chemistry with herself that says something about this pairing (and maybe about Ms. Larter, but that's still hot).

There's some boring stuff with Matt and Janice (I think that was included specially for you trancer21) ... but I think I'm being too verbose here, seeing the name Matt (with Janice right next to it, horror of horrors) should be enough to let you know that it's boring.

And there's a nice scene with H.R.G. being super creepy, which is how I like my H.R.G. best.

I think Mohinder popped up at some point, but I usually forget that he exists so he should just be glad I mentioned him at all.

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...

( Great Talent ... Godsend ... totally agree... )

Um, can it be next Monday now?
