Heroes: The Kindness of Strangers...

[fajrdrako]

Saw and loved Heroes again. Even though it went light on shirtless Peter scenes. Expectations have been raised. Thoughts:

1. Nathan looking in the mirror seems very like Niki looking in the mirror. In season 2, we haven't seen the dark side of Nathan... could it be that he has power absorption abilities like Peter, and he absorbed Niki/Jessica's powers when he slept with her? Possibly he could have used those powers to survive the nuclear blast and save Peter.



2. I'm not really into the Petrellicest, but I did love the scene where Nathan was looking at the pictures of young Peter. I now find Nathan exceedingly interesting. Yes, I'm becoming a Nathan fan. Loved his scene with his sons at the school.



3. Matt's father is a player? My goodness. I wonder when we'll see Sylar's father turn up.



4. When Mohinder and Matt fight they seem even more domestic than when they're taking care of Molly. And Mohinder is still incredibly beautiful.



5. Does Clarie really think she can lie to Mr. Bennet? And get away with it?



6. Does West?



7. It's hard to like Monica. Her grandmother - even asleep - is much more interesting. I like Monica's powers, though.



8. Loved the scenes with Angela Petrelli, especially when she was with Matt. Loved when she grabbed Nathan's lapels. I'm still suspecting that she killed her husband; and had an affair with Kaito Nakamura.



9. I thought at the end of last episode ("Kindred") that Maya and Alejandro would be becoming more interesting with the appearance of Sylar. Not so. The only result is that Maya seems more stupid and Alejandro seems more ineffectual. But Sylar is interesting... and what is he up to?



10. Okay, to be honest, I love Maya's voice, especially when she speaks English.



11. West may not look much like Tom Welling really, but he has floppy dark hair and large eyes and he wears blue plaid shirts and flies, and sometimes carries a girl while he flies.... They're channelling Smallville. So where's the Michael Rosenbaum clone, hmm? On the other hand, there are half a dozen paternal characters who are rather too much like Lionel Luthor...



12. So Matt really thinks he didn't father his wife's baby. This makes me feel all the more certain that he did.



13. Claude, Peter needs you. Come back!

Hee. I have trouble seeing Nathan as Gothic, but it's clear my view of him is different from most fan's.

Yes, Monica has potential, and I really like her power. And yes, there's something interesting about the Monica-Micah link, though I don't know what it is.

I'm not sure Sylar is always interesting. I don't muchlike him as a character, except in some scenes. But he is a catalyst for interesting events.

Maya and Alejandro are always not. Which is too bad.

Oh my goodness yes. If only they would do something besides run and cry, cry and run. Somebody give them some good dialogue - in any language!

I want a Lex.

Me too. And not just in this show!

Mmmm... after all, Lex is the only thing that makes tolerating Clark worth it.

Yup. Absolutely.

Matt doesn't need his wife and former baby. He has Mohinder and Molly!

I'd say he traded up.
