Heroes: One of Us, One of Them...

[fajrdrako]

Watched Heroes tonight: "One of Us, One of Them". Enjoyed it once more.

1. Such fun to see Hiro and Ando together again, and funny. I like Daphne as part of the mix, too, and the way she tends to grab-and-run. She has style.
   
   
2. And the Haitian is back! Yay!
   
   
3. Angela Petrelli is more interesting than ever. Wish we'd seen more of Nathan.
   
   
4. Loved the scene where the two Peters confront each other - and Future!Peter just pushes Present!Peter out of Weevil's body.
   
   
5. It was good to see Micah again, though I didn't quite understand how or why Tracy could just walk into Nana's house. Zimmerman is interesting. (Am I right about clones?)
   
   
6. How real is Matt's spirit guide? Is this all happening in Matt's head, or do we really have someone else with Isaac's powers?
   
   
7. I didn't understand what Claire's mother wanted her to say.
   
   
8. Didn't much like the Claire story this time round, and the rivalry of the two mothers.
   
   
9. Bennet was awesome. As always. I was almost fooled into thinking Sylar might be... changing. Loved their interaction. The trick Mr. Bennet played with Sylar ("Stay where you are. Don't come in.") was that same as the trick Hiro's father played with him last week: "Whatever you do, don't open the safe."
   
   
10. Where's Claude?

Angela Petrelli is wonderful. She seems so... real. She knows exactly how to manipulate everyone. I think I'd like a whole episode that was nothing but a conversation - or verbal battle - between her and Mr. Bennet.

And of course her interaction with Sylar was wonderful. I still don't like Sylar but I've come to love his role.

I get that she's upset.

Well... yes.

I don't see why they don't just give the girl a tazer/mace/get her into a self-defense class and call that situation dealt with?

If she wants to fight, let her fight. Let her deal with this in her own time. She's had a hard time; Mummy Dearest was just making it harder, as far as I could see.

HRG+SYLAR=WIN EPIC WIN

I thought Matt was really dull until he got scenes and dialogue with HRG. I didn't like Sylar much until he got scenes with HRG (and Mama Petrelli). HRG makes everyone seem so much more interesting.

as for Claude, he disappeared after he ditched Peter

"Disappear" is an interesting word in his case. I like to imagine him there in every scene. I'd love to see him come to help out Claire.

Hee, that'd be great~ He's just silently stalking the characters about~ It'd be great if he HAS been around HRG the whole time, secret partners til the end!!

Claire's whole thing... yeah I get she's out for revenge against what was done to her and wants to be the one taking action rather than just receiving it onto herself (as the next commenter pointed out through either her own hand or others), but running away as a 17 year old girl on an epic quest to throw yourself into the heart of extreme danger against the BEST of the WORST seems a bit extreme. Most soldiers even in the direst of times get at least some training, some weaponry, she has a defense oriented ability and unless she does get a weapon of some sort... and we've seen future Claire in the first episode. So, she gets leathered up and dark hair and a gun (woo for a weapon!) but seems to forget that future!Peter can stop bullets/freeze time/incapacitate her in a myriad of ways.

I just don't get where they're trying to go with her right now, but I will wait and see~

HRG makes everyone seem so much more interesting.

Seriously~ Everyone just bounces off him really well, just conjuring some of the best reactions out of people. Which, judging by next weeks preview, means that he encourages Sylar to be a cuddler and frilly-apron wearing cook :D

Re Claude:

So I'd like to imagine! Just think of the information he could gather and report.

My problem with Claire is that she needs training in aggressive fighting to take on a heavy villain, and Meredith gives her tough-love psychotherapy. It isn't what she wants or needs. It might be useful in its way, but it complicates the situation, rather than simplify it.

As for Future!Claire, I think we're dealing with alternate futures which may never occur, or never occur in the way we'd expect.

I just don't get where they're trying to go with her right now

It's only the second episode of the season; we're supposed to be wondering. I do think that Hayden Panettiere has done some very good acting in the past while.

I wish I'd seen Sylar in the apron! I didn't see a preview - either Global doesn't show them or I switched over to Life too quickly.

I'm all for any Claude all the time so, if that IS the case then huzzahs all around!

And have a promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZJf9WJO4Bo)!! Not the best quality but everything there that needs to be seen IS seen~

There were some spoilers on Adrian Pasdar's youtube account in reference to Mohinder and Maya that were put up a while ago, so I wasn't surprised with the way his plot's been going but... yeah, like you said! Only two episodes in and I need to be patient, you're right :D

Sylar in an apron being taught to cook by HRG? Somehow this reminds me of a Torchwood fic where Ianto was doing the same to Captain John!

Ianto teaching Captain John to cook? I think I'd like to see that!
