Heroes: A surprising thought...

[fajrdrako]

I was looking at photos from season 1 episodes of Heroes just now. If you've been reading this LJ, you know I love Peter Petrelli with a shallow but passionate passion. Last season, I thought his long floppy hair was utterly cute and I didn't think I could stand it if he cut it. Remember Samson and Delilah? Samson was never the same afterwards. And look at all those Merovingian kings.

So I was looking at pictures of Peter from last year, and was shocked to realize that I'd entirely forgotten that his hair had ever been longer than it is now - the short cut now seems normal. And it has seemed normal from almost the beginning of the season. And even stranger: his long, floppy hair that I thought was so sexy and adorable last year looks... peculiar.

Do my eyes betray me?

I'd be okay with a middle ground, actually - more the length he had when he played Jess on Gilmore Girls. Less emo than first season, less "if I were more butch I'd be a skinhead" than this season. heh

I suspect I'd love him with his hair any length or style - though I've never seen Gilmore Girls so I don't know what he looked like there. I liked the emo of season one. Like your 'skinhead' assessment of this season. I wonder where they're going with his plot?

I just hope it goes somewhere... I'm trying to have faith. The addition of "Adam" helps a bit. I have more hope now than I did before. Be interesting if they really did manage to take Peter down a darker path, let him get a little morally gray for awhile. Then Claude can show up and save him.

Yes, it always DOES come back around to that.

This latest KRing interview implies it will. I don't know if I want Peter to be darker, but it might be riveting if they wrote it right.

Claude can come back for any reason, at any time. Please! It's not the same without him. The pigeons are pining almost as much as I am.

But only almost... :)

Picture me sitting on the devastated rooftop, wailing, "Claude! Come back! Pleeeeease come back!" and ruffling my wings.

I'm sure Peter concurs.
