Heroes: Angels and Monsters...

[fajrdrako]

The title "Angels and Monsters" sounds like a cross between Neil Gaiman (Angels and Demons) and Doctor Who ("Love and Monsters"). Of course, this show has nice bits of inspiration from both.

There were things I liked and things I didn't like, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Bennet scenes and the suspense. In more detail:

1. Papa Petrelli! At last! I never believed he was dead; I've been waiting to see him and grumbling about how long it was taking. Now here he is.
   
   
2. I want Peter to be good again! I don't like a matricidal dangerous Peter!
   
   
3. I don't believe for a moment that Hiro killed Ando. So what's going on? Did they stage that? Or does Hiro believe he has a way of bringing him back or saving him?
   
   
4. Last season, I didn't like Adam at all. This time... I liked him with Ando and Hiro. He was a hoot. I guess it's all in the scripting.
   
   
5. I didn't like Mohinder as the stupidest scientist in television. I like him even less as the monster reverse-Spider-Man who kills people with guck. Too bad he's so attractive. (And that voice.)
   
   
6. Bennet rules.
   
   
7. Angela Petrelli is cool, too.
   
   
8. Is Lindermann a holographic projection of himself?
   
   
9. I like Daphne.
   
   
10. Love the dialogue between Nathan and Tracy:

    Tracy: You believe we were made by God for a purpose?
    Nathan: Who else could have made us?
    Tracy: We were made by a doctor in Reseda.

11. I liked all the dialogue between Canfield and Claire; I like his power, too. I did wish he'd off Sylar, but knew there was no way he would. Loved it when Claire called Bennet a 'user'. And Sylar was smirking. Before this season I just found Sylar annoying; now I'm loving the way he's interacting.
    
    
12. Love affairs in this show don't fare well. Maya's cocooned, and I don't think the odds are with Nathan and Tracy.
    
    
13. Meredith and her target: scary. So why did she think she could best him? He reminds me a little of Matt's father.
    
    
14. Interesting what Angela said to Nathan about his lineage. What did that mean? Was it because he was Petrelli's son? What can Petrelli do? And maybe as much to the point: what can Nathan's sons do?
    
    
15. Loved seeing the broken double helix symbol outside Lindermann's building. (Or whoever's building it is. Pineshurst? Sounds like something out of Jane Eyre.
