Heroes: Godsend...

[fajrdrako]

What fun Heroes is.

1. I continue to love Hiro. His attempt to steal the sword - beautiful!



2. I have been wondering who the 'they' referred to by Mr Bennet was - the persons behind his institute. I'm wondering now if it is Linderman. He seems to be behind, or in the middle of, so much.



3. Claire seems to have matured a lot since the beginning of the series. I like her more all the time. I liked the whole theme of her re-enacting her first videotaping with Zak.



4. I had been getting quite bored with Niki and Jessica, but this episode I loved the 'split personality' scenario, including moments when I was not sure whether I was seeing Jessica or Niki. Cool.



5. Matt is so dumb he is starting to annoy me. Not that I want all the characters to be strategic geniuses, but Matt is so clueless I want to shake him. And I hope Clea Duvall really isn't gone forever!



6. Peter, Peter, Peter. I live for the Peter Petrelli scenes.



7. Though I don't usually like Nathan, I love, absolutely love, his interactions with Hiro. "Frying man." Heh.



8. Only a glimpse of the Invisible Man; I squeed loudly when we saw Christopher Eccleston's name in the credits, but I could have spared myself the trouble - neither maaseru nor maaboroshi even noticed my Eccleston-passion. Looking forward to more.



9. Mohindar was lovely, as always, but I'm starting to hope for some action from him. I liked his scenes in India with Dream Boy. Seeing him with Mr Bennet wasn't enough - I want to see him have some action, some powers, to make a decisive or significant move. Othewise what's he doing there?



10. I guess I was wrong in my hunch that Eden wasn't dead.



11. I really like the Haitian guy. Does he have a name?



12. Sylar reminds me of Renfield. It's the bug.

here is my Super Long Reply to these points.

Yay!

I really don't want Bennet (HRG) to be connected with Linderman.

I like your theory about him being government-related. The Linderman plot has to come into centre stage at some point. I like the way they play a theme from all sorts of different angles until things finally come together.

I'm still in denial about his proclaimed "straightness"

So am I! It's ridiculous. We all know Zak is gay. Really. And I like his interactions with Claire - though I hope he realizes soon at they could be friends.

YES YES YES YES YES. Peter wins for best character ever. I'm writing an entire fic table-challenge for him, because he's such a brilliant character. (Also, Milo is HOT).

Absolutely! Totally!

Nathan/Peter, because I'm sorry, but that's just hot

I wish! Seems totally unsexy to me. Maybe I'll warm to it in time - meanwhile I'm reading Peter/Isaac and fantasizing about Peter/Mohindar.

Do you not follow the online graphic novels?

No. I guess I should!

I've read a few spoilers about him, but I won't share if you want to remain spoiler-free.

I'd rather be spoiler-free. Living in antici...pation.

This is one of those perfect fandoms. It's got scope and style.

We all know Zak is gay. Really.

Seriously. The "character" has a MySpace blog, where it lists his favorite movies as being a bunch of really stereotypical gay-boy movies. Also, HELLO, so gay :D

No. I guess I should!

You really should. There's a lot of stuff that appears in the graphic novels that isn't in the show, and the GNs really factor into the understanding of the show. I mean, you don't have to read them to follow the show, but they really supplement it.

I'd rather be spoiler-free. Living in antici...pation.

Totally understand! :D

Also, HELLO, so gay :D

Yes. I'd say the character doesn't make much sense unless he's gay. And even if he is portrayed as gay, he's about the 'safest' gay prototype I can think of: very young, hangs out with a girl not a guy, appears to have no other friends of either gender. So what would be so daring about saying he's gay?

Before Heroes started I read advance publicity about how they planned to include gay characters - including the implication that some of the 'heroes' of the title would be openly gay. I see no sign of that, notwitchstanding the tactile 'brotherly' affection between Nathan and Peter. My suspicion is that there was a difference of opinion among the producers, and the anti-gay faction won.

I don't approve of that!

Okay, I'll read the graphic novels. Just as soon as I find time.

The actor has played a gay role elsewhere, too. I don't know what's going on with the show!

Well, we'll see!

Torchwood has spoiled me. I want a similar attitude of orientational acceptance and variation on other shows now, and I'm not getting it.
