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 .

Heaps of continuity errors!

I'm not scared of monsters and story charecters any more, because I was sure I was going to be terrified of School Reunion because I was so scared of The Demon Headmaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Headmaster) but even though there were things I saw as references I wasn't scared at all. So I'm happy. :)

Gotta watch those devilspawn headmasters.

I thought Finch was great, though I didn't like the winged Krillitanes.

After a lifetime of reading comics, continuity errors don't bother me. I don't see them as errors, but as revisions.

Within the same ep?

1. The extra bat. One of the dinner"ladies" gets foomed, yet there is still the same number of bats in the heads office as new staff.
2. A flutter of wings. The head is no longer in bat form, so why do we get the suspicious shillowet when he is in his office with the orphan? Is this the extra bat?
3. Disappearing headphones. They're on when the power is, but after Mickey unplugs.... [btw, very efficient alien technology, all the computers in a room from one socket]

;)

I must say that details of continuity such as this - either when I notice them myself or when someone points them out to me - don't bother me in the least. Sometimes it's fun to think up plausible/rational explanations - or even outrageous ones. I am must more disturbed by discontinuities or contradictions in characterization - but even when that happens, I like it.

So. I'm hardly like to care about disappearing headphones. It just doesn't even register as a point.
