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!

Heroes: New Theory About The Paintings

[raissad.livejournal.com]

Re: The paintings, Noah, & Claire – I have a disturbing germ of a theory, which I hope to hell is contradicted…

Isaac’s Series Of Eight (SOE) is meant to be exactly that, a series of thematically linked paintings. What elements are in the two paintings we’ve seen so far: Kaito, Noah, Claire, and Mystery Guy. Kaito wasn’t just one of the Twelve. He had a fling with Claire’s grandmother, Angela, who acknowledged that “We gave her” to Noah to look after. This is literally, physically true. Angela’s former lover, Kaito, gave Claire to Noah. The first painting depicts Kaito’s death; the man who handed Claire to Noah is dead. Furthermore, Claire’s grandmother, Angela, is also marked and threatened by this same person. As of now (and I hope this changes, because the implications suck), we don’t have any evidence that any other Elder Supers are actually being targeted. Then, the final SOE painting depicts the death of Noah, the man to whom Angela, through Kaito, handed Claire. Kaito is dead. Angela is threatened (presumably with death). Claire is deprived of three links in a chain of protection. She goes from Angela’s arms to Kaito’s to Noah’s to Mystery Guy’s.

Like I said, the implications suck, and I’m really hoping (apart from the prevention of Noah’s death) that something in SOEs 2-7 contradicts my theory.

a series of thematically linked paintings.

The challenge is in guessing what the theme is, and it looks as if the theme is the deaths of the older heroes, but it would be interesting if it were more than that. What that might be - well, hard to guess, when we've only seen two. You're right that young Clarie is a link. In which case, Claude should be in one of the paintings too - but I don't want Claude to die! Mind you, I didn't want Kaito to die either, and don't want Bennet to die - not that I think he might.

Is Angela victim or plotter or both?

the implications suck

I'm not sure what you mean - why do the implications suck?
