Heroes: The Line...

[fajrdrako]

Much enjoyed. I think this season is picking up.

1. No Nathan. I missed him. No Angela Petrelli. I missed her, too.



2. Sylar, Maya and Alejandro were somewhat interesting. I'd love to think Alejandro understood what Sylar said to him.



3. Speaking of languages, is it possible that Mr. Bennet's power is being able to speak all languages, as necessary? Loved his scene with the man from Odessa. And I always love seeing the Haitian.



4. Peter goes to Montreal! Yay! He's practically in my neighbourhood. (Give or take a few hundred kilometres.)



5. Monica seems awfully... juvenile. Helpless. Clueless. Something. I can't feel much enthusiasm for her. Another weak female character. She may not cry as much as Maya, but she looks worried as much as Alejandro. (No, the new characters don't impress me at all!) But I do like Monica's powers, and I liked seeing her do gymnastics for Mohinder. I liked it that he wouldn't inject her, but I despair of his honesty. Wouldn't some kind of subterfuge or deception have been a better idea?



6. No Elle. I don't know yet what I think of her story, but I'm curious and it was frustrating not to learn more about her.



7. What's up with Niki/Jessica? What's she planning? Is he plotting against the Company, or against Mohinder? Or does Jessica have one agenda and Niki another? (That would be like in first season.)



8. I'm hoping Hiro will leave the 17th century soon.



9. As usual, I like Isaac's art and I hope we get more of that theme, and see more of his comics and paintings.

Unfortunately I think Kensei will remain a bit wooden. Which is too bad since I think the actor could handle more. He seems competant enough, and I bet Yaeko could do more than stand around and look pretty if given a chance. I mean, if we ARE spending the next couple months with these folks, a little dimensionality might be nice.

We've had Yaeko say she can handle a sword in battle, and she has presumably done so by now, but we haven't seen it. Seems to me that the only 'women of action' that we are getting, are bad. (The Niki/Jessica thing is a fine example.)

And Kensei... I hope he'll develop into something more than comic relief. Ando was a wonderful mix of comedy, narrative continuity, and heroism. I agree that the actor playing Kensei could do more, and better. And should. As it is, he has good costumes. But he's so... undynamic.
