Heroes: Powerless...
Dec. 3rd, 2007 10:29 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Now, wasn't "Powerless" an episode title on Life just a few weeks ago? Is this the consequence of the writers' strike, that they're conserving titles is case they run out?
So we've reached the end of vol. 2.
- I hope Niki is gone for good. I hope Monica is never tied up and weeping and begging to be released again. Micah is wonderful and I love his power.
- I don't think Nathan is dead. Bennet and Maya have both recently been shot and recovered. When he was making his speech it seemed inevitable that he would be shot. It was a 'shoot me' speech if ever I heard one. He just about paused for the bullet.
- Sylar is empowered again. I'm sorry, but not surprised. I still don't like Sylar.
- I like Elle. I hope she turns to the good and continues to be interesting.
- Hiro! Wonderful. Loved him this time. Just loved him. Including his revenge on Adam.
- What is Bennet going to do? Is he really going to work for Bob again? I don't think so.
- I hope we've seen the last of West. I was sorry Maya recovered. I don't think I like any of the new characters except Elle. And she is, just slightly, coasting on my love of Veronica Mars. It inclines me to give her the benefit of the doubt.
- Loved the reunion of Nathan and Peter. Those two are so mushy.
- All in all, looking back on vol. 2, I didn't like it nearly as much as vol. 1. It had its moments, but none of my favourite characters were in fine form - e ven Bennet, I'm sorry to say. Mohinder was mostly pathetic. Matt was great, as was his father. Nathan and Angela Petrelli were marvellous, but Peter didn't have a clue, he was so gullible.
- What has happened to Caitlin? I thought Peter was going after her to save her. Has she disappeared, never to be seen again? Or will he make her a quest? (I hope not.) Can he just send Hiro to fetch her, return her to Ireland, and that's that?

Date: 2007-12-04 01:53 pm (UTC)Caitlin being in 2007 Montreal makes sense, too. Probably wondering where Peter's gone.

Second, after the shots are fired. Matt looks up and they make a point of showing us a man walking away from the crowd. His back is turned, but he's got Bennet's walk, and others have sworn it's the back of Coleman's head. I'll look for confirmation in Behind-The-Scenes stuff.

My current suspicion is that the Bennet thing is a set-up and a red herring, and that it was actually someone else who shot Nathan. It might have been Sylar posing as Bennet, if he has his powers back.

no subject
Date: 2007-12-04 07:40 pm (UTC)There'll be another shapechanger eventually, methinks. I love the power, too. It's the one I'd choose.

Date: 2007-12-04 09:14 pm (UTC)Mind you, she wasn't a shape-changer, strictly speaking, but a caster of illusions. Maybe we'll still get a shape-changer.

Date: 2007-12-04 12:56 pm (UTC)I stopped watching sometime in Oct. I just didn't like it the way I liked the initial arc. *shrug*

Date: 2007-12-04 01:49 pm (UTC)It isn't the end of the seasons, it's the end of the 'volume', Kring has said that it isn't meant to be one volume per season. And the writer's strike complicates things. I'm not sure what will happen to it now.
no subject
Date: 2007-12-05 05:12 am (UTC)i.e. If the writers strike ends soon there will be more new episodes this season. If it is not resolved soon, there will not be any more new episodes until next season or whenever its resolved.
Er if that made sense.
So basically no more new eps till strike is over.

Date: 2007-12-04 03:44 pm (UTC)I wanted Claire and Peter to get their brains back.
I want Mohinder to show any iota of common sense. I think I've given up on him showing any brains. I live in hope.
Maybe you're right, that it needed more time. I think volume 2 was comparatively lacklustre.

True enough. I think he'll be fine. Sure, he may be under Company control for awhile... but he'll be fine. Claire will know what happened, and she knows what her blood can do. If nothing else, anybody REALLY think she'd just let her blood-daddy die? Nah. Not even if adoptive-daddy did it. Which I'm sure he did.
I don't like Sylar only because he had Mohinder heal Maya. Bad form, Sylar! We almost had the bitch DEAD! Double bad form on Mohinder for being stupid enough to do it. I hate that so much pretty is wasted on so much stupid.
Hiro! Wonderful. Loved him this time. Just loved him. Including his revenge on Adam.
Dark and yet somehow classy. Very well done.
What has happened to Caitlin? I thought Peter was going after her to save her. Has she disappeared, never to be seen again? Or will he make her a quest? (I hope not.) Can he just send Hiro to fetch her, return her to Ireland, and that's that?
I hope he forgets her so we all can.

Date: 2007-12-05 02:01 pm (UTC)You know what bugs me about Niki? She keeps promising Micah that "everything will be all right, I promise" and then terrible things happen - his father dies, for example. If I were Micah I'd never believe anything she says. Mohinder does the same thing with Molly. False reassurances aren't reassuring! They'll just teach the kids that adults lie, and the world is even scarier than it looks.
These things may be true, but that isn't the way to teach kids about it.
I don't like Sylar only because he had Mohinder heal Maya. Bad form, Sylar!
I do wish he hadn't. Not just that I want Maya dead - also because now Sylar can acquire her killing power. Yuck.
Dark and yet somehow classy.
Yes, exactly.
I hope he forgets her so we all can.
I don't want to see her again but I also don't want Peter to wander the world leaving lovers forgotten and abandoned behind him. As long as he sends her a plane ticket back to Ireland and a good-bye note, I'm happy.

I can go along with that. He just needs to take a breather and NOT fall into bed with the next woman he meets. He should be saving himself for Claude anyway.

Date: 2007-12-05 02:54 pm (UTC)Since I like Peter sex scenes, I have no problem with his falling into bed with all and sundry. I jsut wish he'd pick more interesting people. On the other hand, if they're all going to be killed off in short order, maybe it's better if he goes for pointless people....
He should be saving himself for Claude anyway.
Good point.
Claude! Come back! Peter needs you!
