aunt_zeldaI did an exciting thing today! I called my representative to urge them to vote yes on the Matthew Shepard Act! Tomorrow it's gonna be voted on! Go call your representative to urge them to vote yes! Lots of nasty, homophobic, fear-mongering people are calling and urging them to vote no!
'An Invisible Thread'
(aka: make everyone get all excited about Claude and then not even show him or mention him or allude to him at all. Bastards.)
No previouslies on this version. *sighs* Anyhoodle, we see a quick recaps of Sylar trying to Sylarize Nathan and Danko shooting him as Mohinder talks about the 7 billion people on the planet. The title card is on the side of the bus Matt is riding along in at night (thank you, Continuity Angel! I see Brian's put you through rehab! Huzzah!) Mohinder blathers on about ... something. The hopelessness of everything, I think. Poor boy. Dumped by three boyfriends in as many seasons. We see another recapping shot of Ando - aka 'Menstruation Man' ... I mean, 'Crimson Arc' (I'm so, so sorry, but it had to be said) looking concerned as Hiro has a bloody nose and looks on the verge of passing out. A nifty HRG shot shows us HRG, Angela, and Claire in the Nissan Product Placement Car. Instead of getting caught by the roadblock, however, Angela wakes up and tells us that Nathan's in trouble (he's been a bad boy ... tee hee) but HRG stops the car and tells them that the construction behind them wasn't real, there will be a roadblock up ahead. He tells Angela and Claire to head off and he'll buy them some time. He gives Claire a SPRINT PHONE BUY A SPRINT PHONE THEY HAVE SECURE LINES NO WIRETAPPING. Claire starts to protest, but Angela jumps on her line and tells her to listen to her "father." Awwww. HRG and Claire huggle, HRG gives Angela a shoulder-pat for all the Angela/HRG shippers out there, and gets back into his car. HRG hits the evil roadblock. He barely contains his Badass Normal smirk as he asks "Is there a problem, officer?" A Mutant-Catching van pulls up behind him and clumsy He-Man-Mutant-Haters pile out. Tee hee.
We check in with Sylar. We watch as his ex-boyfriend stabs him in the back ... of the head. Sylar gets up. Apparently he used his shapeshifting powers to move the 'off switch' from the back of his head. We don't know where it is now. Oh, that is so cool! He then throws Danko up onto the wall, is waaaaaay too sexy with the knife, flips Nathan over with TK, and telekinetically drags Nathan into the bathroom and closes the door. That was too hot. It's too hot in my living room right now. Too hot to do anything. UGH.
That aside, Sylar is yummy right now. He's got "plans for everyone." SQUEE. He got back up on that serial-killing horse! Huzzah! ... (Wow, I ... just realized what I typed just there. Just to be clear, kids, KILLING IS WRONG! However, a fictional superpowered killer played by Zachary Quinto is HOT.) Sylar makes the mistake of telling his plan of 'shake the President's hand as Nathan Petrelli tomorrow' to Danko (a big no no on the Evil Overlord List, but whatever) then turns into Danko, shoots a He-Man-Mutant-Hater, morphs into Caucasian Joe, and holds Danko at gunpoint. Wow ... that was ... really kinda clever. Downright insidious, actually! Hey la, my boyfriend's back! Wahoo!
Heroesclipse!
In D.C. (titled 'the Capitol' ... very descriptive, show) Claire and Angela powerwalk. There's no Mr. Muggles (or Dr. House) to speak of, but that's ok. Angela hopes that Claire never has to experience the lengths that a parent will go to protect their child. She then reveals that she only wanted to make sure Claire got to the Capitol safely, and leaves to find Matt Parkman, who, according to her dream, will save Nathan's life. Claire tries to argue changing-the-future logistics, but Angela knows that Lost has got that covered this spring and leaves.
Sylar dresses up in a dress-shirt and a tie (I'll wait a second for you guys to catch your breath ...) and tries to kick and slap Nathan awake, but to no avail. Sylar says he's got plenty of memories from the stuff around Nathan's office, and it's amazing but ZQ can act even with an unconscious body. Then Claire arrives. Sylar morphs into Nathan and locks Nathan in the bathroom again. Sylar puts up a good act until Claire asks how to know he isn't Sylar. Nathan paws at her necklace, and Claire looks a little nervous, but according to some of the fanfic out there, shouldn't this confirm that Nathan is Nathan? Anyhoodle, Nathan!Sylar pulls enough info off of the necklace to cobble together a better charade, and Claire appears to buy it. Then again, Hayden is an incredible actress, so Claire might still be suspicious. Nathan!Sylar wants her to stay in the office, but Claire wants to tag along and help. Nathan!Sylar lets her come with. It's creepy how much like Sylar Adrian Pasder can act. Like, REALLY creepy. I'll probably repeat that sentiment a million times this recap, but I don't think it can be overstated enough. I'm not sure if Nathan!Sylar is really, really sexy or really, really creepy or both.
Danko gets dragged into the He-Men-Mutant-Haters-Club, a prisoner. Hiro and Ando peer down a hallway and watch from outside. Wow. Nice security, Mutant-Haters-Club. The Little Rascals had better security than this, and if I seem to remember correctly, their Go-Cart got stolen!
Ando is concerned. Hiro is insistent: they must save the people inside, even if Hiro's head explodes from using his power. *sniffles* I'm getting very, very worried about this ...
Danko gets dragged down the hallway in slo-mo, with all the employees staring at him, to tense drums music. This must be his worst nightmare. He gets tossed into a cell that contains HRG and even tenser music. Ah. Scratch that last bit: this is Danko's worst nightmare.
Nathan wakes up and tries the door. About a second later, Peter appears. HEE HEE HEE! Nathan slurs that they have to stop Sylar, and stumbles so that his brother can grope/carry him out. "A lot of help you're gonna be," Peter grumbles. If you wanted a reliable partner, dear, you should have stayed with Claude! He's gonna live forever ... and has the perks of turning into David Tennant and Matt Smith every few years.
Cell. Danko sitting on a rather large wooden bench that looks suspiciously like a makeshift bed. Or a half-assed BDSM prop. (I don't know why I'm so dirty-minded in this recap ... perhaps it's the heatwave?) He wants HRG to start lecturing him about how he refused to listen and messed up. Well ... isn't admittance the first step to DYING A HORRIBLE KARMIC DEATH ON THIS SHOW? HRG actually says "And then you got into bed with Sylar." And everyone's brains esplode! Thank you, Brian Fuller! *mops up brains*
HRG and Danko ... bond. I think. It's a good scene. And HRG's music is back. YAY! Danko asks if he'll "get it" in twenty years. "Twenty years and an adopted daughter," HRG clarifies, citing Claire as having saved him from being in Danko's position. Danko says HRG is in his exact position. HRG turns and says they should "do something about that." "Together?" Danko asks incredulously, and I'm sorry, but those lines were clearly lifted from a well-written fanfic. He extends a hand to HRG, who moves to shake his hand ... and time freezes. Hiro and Ando peek in, Hiro shakes his head at the tableau of HRG agreeing with the guy Hiro thinks is in charge (heh ...) they zoom in to watch extras earning fan-choice awards by standing REALLY REALLY STILL. There's lots of cool, inventive poses. I wonder if that was fun to block, like stage fights are. Hiro's ear is bleeding, Ando is concerned. They find the room with all the drugged heroes and villains. They unhook everyone and hook up the soldiers. Clever! Hiro says "Payback is very bitchy!" in Japanese. Hee hee hee! He unfreezes time, but staggers. HRG and Danko find their cell door open, and no guards outside. Heh. Ando ushers everyone out, but Mohinder is behind because he's a regular cast member. He lectures Hiro and says medical things, even though he's a friggin' GENETECIST, not an M.D.! Mohinder tells Hiro not to freeze time again. Dangit! It's all Arthur Petrelli's fault! Remind me why they made that creep come back? Adam didn't need killing! *cries* Mr. Fuller, I know you're busy and all, but ... PLEASE BRING ADAM AND CLAUDE BACK!
Claire and Nathan!Sylar are checked with those staticy security wand things. Claire says 'thank you' to the guard. Hee. Nathan!Sylar makes an Alice in Wonderland reference. 'Cause, ya know, he's crazy and crazy people like Alice in Wonderland. (Unfortunate implications, much, show?) He utilizes his power rather nicely by meeting the President's Chief of Staff, with whom Nathan, apparently, "barely survived" boarding school with. Ooooo, now there's a fanfic waiting to happen ...
Claire notices that Nathan!Sylar is writing left-handed. He trills "Ambidextrous" and I'm sorry, but ... that's really hot.
HRG and Danko plot and realize their situation. Danko tries to stab HRG in the neck with a tranq the moment his back is turned, but Hiro stops time and stabs DANKO in the neck ... but then his eyes are bleeding too and he falls over, caught by Ando and Mohinder. HRG tells them to call 911, because he, HRG, needs to go stop Sylar. At the word 'Sylar' I was certain that Mohinder was going to jump up and say he wanted to come along and help, but alas, he did not. *sighs* What a missed opportunity, Mr. Fuller ...
HRG calls Claire, but the minute 'Claire' puts 'her' finger to 'her' lips, I knew it was Claire!Sylar. He's holding Claire frozen in place with TK, and then he morphs into himself and lets HRG know that Sylar is Sylar. Then he hangs up. Then he sniffs Claire's hair. Eeeew. He says "This is fun" and I giggle. Did I mention that I love that Sylar is back on his kinky serial killer track once more? Let's hope he sticks with it this time around ...
Sylar makes Claire his clumsy puppet. It's no Doyle-ability, but it's suitably creepy. He's having fun. I'm having fun. Hayden is acting her little heart out. Sylar says that everybody dies sooner or later, ticking off the names of her dads, her grandma, "Mistah Muggles" (NOOOOOO! You LOVE Mr. Muggles! Don't kill him! Not the puppy!) he savours that line a little too much. Then he asks "What's your brother's name again, Larry?" Hee hee hee. I love a good lampshade-hanging! "Lyle" Claire corrects. Yeah, Sylar, the name's Lyle! He's had his own heading several times on heroes_meta and everything! "Right ..." Sylar hrrms about that. "He's gonna die too." I'm sorry, I shouldn't be laughing at this, but ... bahahahahhaa! *huggles Mr. Fuller* Sylar is back back back! (He brought sexy with him too ... though it never really left ...) Sylar tells Claire that he met his 'real dad.' "Boy, was that a disappointment." You're telling, me, Sylar! They brought in John friggin' Glover and all he did was smoke and cut up a bunny for one measly episode! What a waste! Sylar draws similarities between them in a skeevy attempt at Foe-Yay. They were both adopted, "You can't die ... I can't die." "Oh, you can die," Claire assures him "I'll make sure of it." ULP. Hayden, stop it! You're making me fancy you, too! I won't know who to root for if I find both of you sexually attractive!
To prove how eeeeeeevil he is, Sylar makes an underage girl drink alcohol. Bet the censors loved that one. "You'll get bored, after like a hundred years of trying to off me, watching all your loved ones drop like flies ... you may eventually come to forgive me ..." sounds like the setup for a vampire romance ... OH MY GOD HE ALMOST KISSED HER EEEEEEW! There are so many things so wrong with that ... *rolls around in envy of both actors* "You may even come to love me ..." no, Sylar, it's Mohinder you're in love with! Repeat after me: Mohinder Suresh ...
Claire insists that she'll keep trying to kill him. Sylar shrugs and says "everyone needs a hobby" and swigs some more wine while I sporfle. Sylar strokes her cheek and Claire stiffens and looks disgusted and creeped out and Sylar says she could be his First Lady.
Nathan and Peter arrive. School-Buddy is freaked about the two Nathans and asks if Sylar is 'one of them.' Nathan confirms this, then says "Gotta stop saying that ... he's one of us. He's one of us." then he flies into the air. The guards all pull their guns on him, which I think is really dumb. I mean, a levitating dude? There's about a hundred magicians who can do that. And anyways, my first reaction would be 'cool!' and my second would be 'how can I do that?!' Nathan and Peter and Buddy have a great exchange, eventually culminating in the brothers being given access to the hallway Sylar's on. They express their love for each other, Claire is thrown out of the room, Sylar's hands flash with Elle's ability (god, I miss Elle ...) the brothers zoom in, the doors slam shut, and THEN WE ARE CHEATED OUT OF A FANTASTIC AND COSTLY SUPERHERO BATTLE DAMN YOU EVIL EXECUTIVES! I'm sorry, but ... after four volumes I'm itching for an honest-to-goodness superhero battle royale. The 'Punch the Sylar' rounds of the S1 finale, the isolated scuffles of V2's finale, the downright ridiculousness of V3 ... no notable superhero battles. Just a lot of smashing and cheap cut-away shots like this one.
*rant over ... for now*
Claire gets the doors open, and the room is trashed. Feathers everywhere, pillars cracked, furniture overturned ... there's even some stuff on fire. I WANTED TO SEE ALL OF THAT! There's also a mirror that looks like the eclipse in the background, off to the left. Claire finds a limping, bleeding, dazed Peter who's lost his flight ability. They run out to pursue Nathan and Sylar ... and then Nathan is chucked through the window into the piano. Sylar floats down with a bad effects shot, Nathan stands up ... AND THEN SYLAR SLITS NATHAN'S THROAT WITH TELEKINESIS. It's long, drawn out, and really, really gross. Sylar laughs and says "Oh, Claire is going to be so mad at me ..." he turns into Nathan and leaves. So ... he plans on making Claire his nemesis? Doesn't he have enough of those? Mohinder and HRG are the primary ones, I should think ... but now Claire too?
And ... OMG NATHAN NOOOOOOOOOOO! *yelps and wibbles and feels like crying* I won't cry until we know for certain they can't save him. After all, HRG got SHOT IN THE EYE and survived, it's not all that unrealistic to hold off on grieving for Nathan for a little bit.
And, just as the action is over, Matt arrives in D.C. After some wrangling, Angela convinces him to work with her. Matt has acquired a nifty long black coat. Badass? Only time will tell.
Peter, Claire, and HRG figure out that neither is Sylar and reunite. Some agents corner them. Claire gets badass.
Matt and Angela get past a guard with Matt's psychic paper. Hee. Dressed in black like that, they do actually look like agents of some kind. Yay, a Buddy-cop subplot! Matt tries to get Angela to not see Nathan's dead body, but she does. And Christine Rose looses it. It's ... really disturbing to watch. Too private and personal. Like an HBO show.
Nathan!Sylar probably kills Buddy and gets into the car with the President. He shakes his hand, morphs about sixteen times, and then PETER STABS HIM IN THE NECK WITH THE TRANQ OMG THAT WAS FANTASTIC! You see, Peter took the shapeshifting ability and masqueraded as the President to nab Sylar. WOW. Peter slumps against the seat, looking exhausted but satisfied, like I do after completing a fanfic.
And then ... something incredible, horrible, incredibly stupid, and probably very necessary happens. Angela and HRG pressure Matt into using his power to reprogram Sylar into being Nathan. I know, it sounds really lame and stupid, but watching it made me almost believe it. GAH! NOOOOOOOO! SYLAR HAD JUST STARTED TO BE HIMSELF AGAIN STOP TEARING HIM DOWN HEROES STAFF PLEEEEEEEEASE! *cries*
Then Mohinder starts voiceovering and we watch a scene from Last of the Time Lords. No, really! Go watch the end of the episode!
Mohinder and Matt share the screen, looking pensive: perhaps they can go find Molly and restart the House of M once more? Hiro looks recovered, and he and Ando share the screen. Yay. Claire and Peter share the screen, because they're just that hawt. Actually, everyone looks pretty good illuminated by firelight.
Nathlar puts his arm around Angela's shoulders and says "It's a new beginning, Mom." The President agreed to funding and deniability and Nathlar recommended HRG to head the New Company. Sad violins play as we see that they're at Coyote Sands. They're poised for V5 ...
... and then Hiro gets a headache! Ando asks if he's ok, Hiro says yeah ... and then "Not really." He tells Ando it's time to head home, which they do. Claire leaves Peter to brood sexily by himself, and says to HRG "I can't believe he's really dead." Don't, sister. Trust me on this. NO ONE STAYS DEAD ON THIS SHOW! Mohinder silently pats Matt on the shoulder and leaves. NOOO! HOUSE OF M! HOUSE OF M! HOUSE OF M! *stamps feet angrily* Matt and HRG lock eyes, Matt shakes his head and leaves. Mohinder and Peter share an awkward farewell nod-shift and go their separate ways. Damn. I was holding out for a kiss there, honestly. HRG and Claire leave. Angela, Peter, and Nathlar stare at the pyre in a nice triangle.
"END OF VOLUME FOUR" flashes on the screen.
"VOLUME FIVE: REDEMPTION" (Redemption? Does that mean you have been reading our fanfics, Heroes writers? Please?)
It's six weeks later, and Kent Harper, a former He-Man-Mutant-Hater Club member walks into his apartment. The sink is leaking all over the floor. That should have been his first clue to hightail out of there, but he doesn't. I thought someone was gonna electrocute him, but the water seeps over the living room floor and I yelp "IT'S TRACEY!' and, sure enough, a naked Ali Later (I believe this is called 'fanservice') materializes out of the water. She grins at the ex-agent and says "You're number four." We cut to a newspaper that reports the fourth 'Mysterious Drowning.' (heh heh 'Monsters definitely not involved ...') that Nathlar is reading in his office. Angela (clad in a scary bright red jacket) walks in, saying that she hasn't heard from him in weeks. Nathlar hasn't been feeling himself of late. Angela tries to act like the Angela of S1, but we the viewers sense her nervousness. Nathlar realizes that the clock is running a minute and a half fast, and says this aloud. He snaps back to Nathan and blathers on about lunch like nothing matters, but we see Angela looking nervous as her music and Sylar's music combine.
DUN! TBC!
Um ... that was ... ok, I guess ... not nearly as fantastic as the rest of the volume, a bit of a letdown, actually ... but pretty much all of the finales have been like that. *sighs*
Yeah, V4 was, for the most part, damnned fantastic. A few episodes towards the end (I’m looking at you, 1961) were pretty bad. The biggest issue, I think, is not the sheer number of characters, as some have suggested (if that were the case, wouldn't Lost have been an utter disaster?) but the fact that the characters are getting out of the writers’ control. I want the stories about the dreamy kid, the single mother, the aspiring Senator jerkass, and the teenage girl trying to keep her life together. I think Hiro’s geeky references in the last couple of episodes were attempts to revisit those original archytpes. I can’t really connect with the characters anymore. Something has to change, and that doesn’t necessarily mean killing people off (hell, it could mean bringing people back, like Claude and Adam and Elle, the fan favorites!) but that’s my two-cents, and I sincerely hope that someone on the Heroes staff gets the message.
That aside, I really do think that the show has recovered its legs and will once again wow us. *crosses fingers, toes, and other people’s toes*
NEXT WEEK: NO MORE HEROES ARRRRRRRRGH! Whatever shall I do? ... oh yeah ... WRITE HEROES FANFICTION!

Date: 2009-04-29 01:10 am (UTC)So, I was watching this episode with the same slightly-more-than-mild interest that I usually have for Heroes until Sylar started making that speech. At that point I had to open up Notepad and type in caps, because... well, okay this is what I had to type:
WAS THIS EPISODE WRITTEN BY THE INTERNET??? SYLAR! NO WAY HE'S NOT ON FORUMS. FORGETTING LYLE'S NAME? SAYING "PAPA PETRELLI?" SHIPPING SYLAR/CLAIRE? ALL THE BROTHERLY TOUCHING AND THE WAY PETER UNNECESSARILY LOOKED AT NATHAN AFTER SAYING HE HAD TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO TOUCH HIM??
DID HRG HONESTLY SAY SOMETHING ABOUT DANKO "GETTING IN BED WITH SYLAR"?
And is it okay if I'm not worried about Nathan dying anymore because he freaking dies in every episode?
WHAT THE EFF MATT HAS PSYCHIC PAPER NOW???
Hmm, so the president of Heroes is a black man with an awesome voice who talks about change all the time? Interesting.
OMG WHAT. DID PETER JUST DO SOMETHING AWESOME. AGAIN. OMG WHAT.
Oh no. Oh man, so they're turning Sylar into Nathan... but that means they're ruining Sylar! And... but... I mean... how about neither one is dead, how about that? How about... like... I mean, somebody else could die, right? How about Janice? She's useless!
Lol did Sylar really need to be buried in the Gallifreyan manner? AND MOHINDER. HOW DID HE GET HERE TO THIS FUNERAL.
GAHHH DID MOHINDER JUST PICK MATT UP AT SYLAR'S FUNERAL? AND DID HE THEN INVITE PETER TO JOIN?? I refuse to believe that that's not what will happen over the summer.
Not very different from your impressions, but I liked to think that Matt and Mohinder and Peter technically all left together. And I've kinda shipped Sylar/Claire a bit since the beginning of this season, though none can argue with the absolute beautiful canonocity of Mylar.
Anyway, glad as usual that you've done this little recap. I always enjoy your love of Claude and your Doctor Who references. And I always find myself giggling a lot by the time I've gotten to the end... I shall miss them over the summer. While Matt and Mohinder and Peter are getting it on.

I think it's funny. President Obama, however (he totally watches the show. He strikes me as the type) probably doesn't.
Yay, they've fixed Peter! Boo, they've ruined Sylar again!
Gallifreyan funeral: dear oh dear ... all we needed was Angela and her red nails from S1 to reach into the fire and pluck out a ring ...
GAHHH DID MOHINDER JUST PICK MATT UP AT SYLAR'S FUNERAL? AND DID HE THEN INVITE PETER TO JOIN?? I refuse to believe that that's not what will happen over the summer.
Go with it!
I'm kinda mad that we haven't had much Mylar this season. I mean, we had Sylar sparing Mohinder's life a couple of times in V3 and Mohinder straddling him to bash his head into the floor ... and that was ... about it. *sighs* I wanted running from the evil government and slumming in cheap motels and SLASHY SUBTEXT and maybe not even SUBTEXT, maybe ACTUAL TEXT arrrrrrrgh!
Anyway, glad as usual that you've done this little recap.
*blushes* Thank you very much!
I always enjoy your love of Claude and your Doctor Who references. And I always find myself giggling a lot by the time I've gotten to the end...
I believe that if I keep bringing up Claude, he will actually show up onscreen. I'm summoning him, as it were.
I shall miss them over the summer. While Matt and Mohinder and Peter are getting it on.
Awwwww ... I've got a couple Lost WAZT to do ... and then some DW special recaps ...
While Matt and Mohinder and Peter are getting it on.
Heh heh heh ... indeedy! (And then Matt and Mohinder move to India and commence raising Molly again! Huzzah!)
Actually ... what the hell happened to Micah? Where is HE? I CARE about Micah! He's developing as a character and not annoying at all! WHERE IS MICAH? (Maybe Waldo and Carmen Sandiago have adopted him! ... *is attacked by a plot bunny* Arrrgh!)

Date: 2009-04-29 01:34 am (UTC)Oh well hopefully the writer's gave us fan fic author's enough bunnies to keep us going until the fall. Like Nathan not being dead but kept as Sylar's pet/advisor, hmmmmm....
no subject
Date: 2009-05-03 07:33 pm (UTC)Indeed. I think that Brian Fuller had to go home one night and someone snuck in and rewrote the ending, and that's why it feels wrong. Brian came in the next day and wasn't able to change it for reasons unknown, but added in the 'Nathlar turning back into Sylar' and the 'Tracey on a murder spree' bits to try and compensate.
This is now my own personal canon.
Hasn't she learned in the past 50 years that EVERY time she's tried it that really in the end bad stuff happens? World ending bad(Vol 1)? Or destroy a person bad(Alice)? And her trying to control Sylar worked so well in Vol 3?! Heck, she couldn't even control the REAL Nathan in the end of Vol 1&2&3!
Yeah ... Nathan simply CANNOT be controlled. Sylar could for a while there, but I hope he totally rebels in V5 and refuses to be introspective, care about his parents, or 'find himself.' He should just kill, be diabolical, and have shamelessly slashy tension with Mohinder. STOP SCREWING WITH HIS CHARACTER HEROES WRITERS JUST LEAVE HIM EVIL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!1!!!11!!!!
Oh well hopefully the writer's gave us fan fic author's enough bunnies to keep us going until the fall. Like Nathan not being dead but kept as Sylar's pet/advisor, hmmmmm....
Oh dear ...
Or Mohinder getting a job at 'Nathan's' office ... heh heh heh ... FYG, here we come!

Date: 2009-05-03 07:26 pm (UTC)The Claire/Sylar scene was a bit creepy but kind of interesting.
Yeah ... on the one hand, Sylaire squicks me. On the other hand, it's an intriuging thing that Sylar was setting up with that scene ...
BRING BACK MOHINDER! (Now with Superstrength and 50% more angst!)
Angela and HRG work well together. It's almost (ALMOST) like watching Alias again, with Jack and Irina. So I can see why people ship them. I can't, but I'm just happy to have some great characters collaborating once again on this show.
The scene with Danko in that room was highly slashy and I loved it to bits.
I know! It was the greatest thing to come of his character, in my not-so-humble-opinion!
Heh heh, Mr. Muggles, aka 'Lestat' SHOULD come back!
The cast of Heroes is fantastic.
No matter how idiotic the plots get, I can always adore the cast. *beams*

Date: 2009-05-23 06:24 pm (UTC)So all that's left is my favorite authors/fics from that time, which is like 11 Spuffy fics, one SS/HG fic and a general/humor wrestling fic called Pure Insanity by TraceAce (which is still funny!)
Yes, during that time, I was into SS/HG, this was before I got into yaoi and slash. (Thank you Return of the Demon (by Solitaire and Xpine)--without that Yu-Gi-Oh! yaoi fic, I wouldn't be where I am today! *huggles teh fic* I still like it even now, though it's not completed. Wow, the first yaoi/slash fic I like and it ends up as a Yami/Yugi/Seto and Joey/Ryou/Yami Bakura fic lol. (I certainly dived head first into yaoi/slash! XP)

Date: 2009-05-25 10:21 pm (UTC)I keep meaning to personal-lock my WICKED OLD fanfic. 'Cause it's embarrassing.
Unlike most people, I didn't start with a het-pairing, I started with slash. I blame my gay father. (I really need to make that a bumpersticker.) I dove straight into the hardcore Mylar, and DAYUM, did it CHANGE me. (For the good, I hope ... jury's still out on whether my mind was warped beyond repair.)
no subject
Date: 2009-06-06 07:03 pm (UTC)Ah! lol well everyone's different. My veryyyyyyyy first pairing I shipped like a billion years ago, before I even knew what "shipping" was, was probably Usagi/Mamoru (Serena/Darien) from Sailor Moon, which was like...95? Yeah. So I was about 7/8? =P
(And there is CERTAINLY nothing wrong with starting with slash. Actually to tell you the truth, I kind of unconsciously shipped slash/yaoi before I even got into it. Starting with Cardcaptor Sakura with it's Touya/Yukito pairing and all. I never thought anything of it! lol.)
(lol! No it was DEFINITELY for the good Zel-chan! If you hadn't gotten into slash and stuff, then we wouldn't have become really good friends, and we never would have worked on DWS5 or anything like that--I wouldn't have been into DW, Torchwood OR the Dresden Files (Ben/Locke as well) And I wouldn't have gotten you interested in Death Note and stuff, so it worked out for the better I think! ^__^

Date: 2009-06-07 08:00 pm (UTC)Because I grew up (from like, two years old and onward) going back and forth between my parent's houses and saw my mom dating guys and my dad dating guys, I thought that the whole world was an even split between people like my mom and her boyfriends, and people like my dad and his boyfriends. (It took me forever to understand lesbians because of this.) So, naturally, watching Disney movies with the same 'Prince rescues Princess' routine, I wondered why Disney wasn't cashing in on half the world's population and portraying a Prince saving a Prince.
That aside, my first 'official' slash was probably when I read HP5 and thought 'Harry and Sirius should be joint godfathers to Harry!' because they kinda reminded me of some of my dad's old boyfriends. Then I found out what slash was from the Heroes IMDb chatroom, got a link to LJ, and got hooked on hardcore Mylar.
I was actually quite late coming into the manga/anime scene.
I love how I've gotten you hooked on stuff, and you've gotten me hooked on stuff.

Date: 2009-07-10 06:54 pm (UTC)Same thing with me! So sorry for the lateeeeeeeeeeee reply. My comp was MUCH worse off than I thought, and so I am waiting on new parts, which should be another week or so. But then it will have more memory and everything. I WILL be back on soon! Promise! I can't stand not being able to writeeeee. *cries*
Because I grew up (from like, two years old and onward) going back and forth between my parent's houses and saw my mom dating guys and my dad dating guys, I thought that the whole world was an even split between people like my mom and her boyfriends, and people like my dad and his boyfriends. (It took me forever to understand lesbians because of this.) So, naturally, watching Disney movies with the same 'Prince rescues Princess' routine, I wondered why Disney wasn't cashing in on half the world's population and portraying a Prince saving a Prince.))
Ahhh I see where your coming from. And hey, they really DO need to do a Prince saving a prince story! Hmm... *jots down the idea for an original piece*
That aside, my first 'official' slash was probably when I read HP5 and thought 'Harry and Sirius should be joint godfathers to Harry!' because they kinda reminded me of some of my dad's old boyfriends. Then I found out what slash was from the Heroes IMDb chatroom, got a link to LJ, and got hooked on hardcore Mylar.
I was actually quite late coming into the manga/anime scene.)
Ahhh (I think you mean, Remus but I know what you mean!) Hell from the beginning I thought that it was canon. And mmm Mylar. <3 I got into the scene by way of many different circumstances; first got into HP fic, which led to SS/HG, from there I got into YGO fic, which led to Return of the Demon (http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php?id=20298&submit=View) which led to my love of yaoi and then I got into Snarry which got me into the slash aspect of things!
I love how I've gotten you hooked on stuff, and you've gotten me hooked on stuff.)
Me too! XD lol It works good for everyone! ^_^

There need to be WAY MORE gay fairy tales!
Oh yeah, I meant Remus! *blushes* You know me, I couldn't ship Harry/Sirius ...
Hell from the beginning I thought that it was canon.
Of course it's canon! JK Rowling outed Dumbledore, she ought to have outed Remus and Sirius too!
