Doctor Who and other Heroes...

[fajrdrako]

A lovely relaxing evening - after a pretty good day. I redecorated my living room a little bit, which is always fun, though I once again failed to vacuum the carpet.

I watched Doctor Who season 2, episode 3, "School Reunion", which aired on CBC tonight. Watched it on maaseru's big screen, and it was more fun than ever. I have a soft spot for that episode - one of the first I ever saw - even though I think it's basically a tip of the hat to the old-time fans. My love for the show is not abating an ounce. I remain besotted.

Then we watched Heroes. Again, it surprised me. I had thought that Peter could only use his flying powers when he and Nathan were together. I was only half right - he can manifest the powers of whoever he's with, so when he's with Nathan he can fly, when he's with Isaak he can paint the future.... More interesting than I guessed. Could he do anything unusual when he's with Mohindar? Where is Mohindar, anyway?

The Weapon X potential of Claire's scary father is interesting.

I particularly adore Hiro and Ando .

Hiro... with a warrior's knot and a samurai sword, though, got my inner anime-geek fangirling like mad though.

Me too. It was wonderful.

Hmm - I wonder when we'll catch up to Mohindar.

I begin to wonder if Claire's Dad is as bad as he seems, or if something unexpected is going on.

Weapon X is a series of comics about Wolverine in Marvel Comics - there was something called the Weapon X project where a certain villainous quasi-governmental organization was doing nasty illegal experiments on mutant subjects, including Wolverine. Most subjects in their hands died, but Wolverine, because of his healing powers, could survive - after they'd given him an adamantium skeleton and claws. There have been some interesting plotlines concerning Weapon X, and every time I see a TV show or movie where someone is interfering medically with superheroes, either to change them or examine them (as Claire's Dad seemed to do with Matt), I think of Wolverine as Weapon X.
