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.

No Nathan = fast-forward

You fast-forward through scenes that aren't there? Now, that's a trick!

Sylar/Maya/Alejandro's driving/killing/crying spree

Sylar's speech to Alejandro was interesting, but really - this is my least fave theme.

Don't worry, Caitlin's about to be killed off any minute now. I've thought that for weeks now.

Do you mean like a human Babel fish?

Yes. Exactly. Actually, I was thinking "like a human TARDIS" but didn't feel it was dignified to say so. Maybe like a human Univeral Translator.

Elle does not look promising, but Veronica Mars was terrific, so I'm predisposed to enjoy seeing her regardless. But I hope she gets a real story soon. I hope her "Dad" is someone interesting.

I agree about Isaac's art, especially since I love Tim Sale's work, and I loved the theme where what was happening turned up in the unfinsihed comic book before it happened. They haven't entirely dropped that technique but it's fallen to the background. Still, I like the 'series of 8 paintings' and look forward to learning their story.

Any idea how long the current story arc is supposed to be? I remember Tim Kring saying (probably at SDCC) that they weren't intending story arcs to cover a whole season (as last year) but to be shorter, more distinct stores with beginnings, middles, and ends within a season. But I see no signs of the current themes coming to a climax any time soon.

I'm disappointed in Claire this season.

Me too. She's gone from being a savvy heroine rising to the occasion as needed, to being a sulky teenager. And West is bland. Way too bland.
