*sigh* Today is my last day of 'freedom.' Tomorrow I return to schoolings. Summer went WAY too fast, especially with the plays. Of course, it's also only 21 more days until Heroes V3, so things are definately looking up!

(I realized something whilst watching S1: if Sylar gets Matt's power, he'll be able to hear ANYONE'S THOUGHTS within, like, a five-mile radius. Possibly greater than that. YEEK!)

 

I made the very difficult and entirely selfish decision to skip the last 5 episodes of S1, because I've seen the ones from 16-onward like a bajillion times anyways, and as much as I love them, I wanted to sink my teeth into the special feature of S2!

 

DVD features:

 

Four Months Later:

I'd forgotten how much Claire NOT jumping off of the tower thing to stick it to the cheerleaders annoyed me. Seriously, when she's got freedom she doesn't want it, and when she doesn't have it, she wants it ... wait, that ... actually makes sense now. Ok, I miss Zach!

 

Deleted scenes:

We find out Kaito's power: it's predicting the outcome of something. He's used it to succeed in stock markets.

We catch a glimpse of the guy who succeeded Nathan as congressman (he's got a 70% approval rating) and learn that Nathan got Peter drunk in their super-special treehouse on scotch he stole from Arthur Petrelli (and lo, I hear the Petrellicesters DYING OF JOY because they have a NEW plot device.) Angela tries to get Nathan to save her from Marker-Man, but apparently her creepy-touching-possible-power doesn't work on drunks with prehistoric animals on their faces, because Nathan whispers to her "We're Petrellis, Ma ... none of us deserve to be saved."

I don't know about you, but I much prefer that last scene to seeing Nathan's crispy face, and I'd TOTALLY take George Takei getting more screentime over Maya y Alejandro wailing left, right, and center.

 

Ok, let me make one thing clear: I really, really REALLY don't like how Heroes airs the commentary right after the episode itself airs on TV, because they can't talk about anything that happens for the rest of the season. It drives me INSANE.

 

In commentary we learn, among other things:

That the Big Thug who came with the Greasy Thug to harass Niki in the Pilot is back in episode 1 of THIS season, but with a knarly beard, cameoing as a coyote. No, not the 'woof-woof' kind ...

Jack Coleman calling Angela 'Lady Macbeth.'

Tim Kring trying to explain the use of a stuntman for Fake-Kensei without us Lostians scratching our heads.

Everyone sporfling about HRG's 'beautiful' shirt. Tim Kring says it bring the purple out in his eyes. Jack Coleman says it brought out the Barney in him.

Jack 'letting it slip' that the Midas-power only works on 'tiny little spoons' and nothing else. Bahahhaa!

Jack Coleman calling Greg Grunburg 'Grunny.'

Jeff Loab mistaking West's pencil-behind-the-ear for a barrette.

Jeff Loab saying that the person Molly can't see is Paula Abdul.

Apparently Kensei's armor clanked so much that David Anders sounded like a one-man-band.

Jeff Loab challenging us to find a show on TV that has a real ox onscreen.

Jack Coleman sniggering about how funny a 'perky' HRG is.

The commentators mentioning how Mr. Muggles is back for another season ... and then mentioning how Lyle's back too.

Tim Kring saying that there was this inside joke about how Lyle didn't realize that the family had MOVED and still thought that they were still in Odessa!

 

Lizards:

I'd forgotten how good it made me feel to watch Peter get doused with water and punched a whole lot. Perhaps it was because Ricky was lounging off to the side looking like he was quite enjoying the whole thing, or perhaps because I can now watch it without a staticy TV, or because I'm no long confuzzling Ricky with Kensadam.

Hee hee, the title's floating in an egg yolk.

YAY! Noah said 'invisible!' Yes, I'm that shallow!

"Have you seen a scary white man?" Hee ...

"Like a giant carp ..." I laughed so hard that I CRIED! I missed that on the first viewing! (I mean, I knew about it later on, and in slash fics, but this is the first time onscreen ...)

Mmmmmmm ... Mohinder speaking in French ... this was TOTALLY worth the price of the DVDs ...

Why is it that S2 has so many women (Yaeko, Caitlin, Claire, even Maya) who could totally handle themselves if they tried hard enough or were given the chance, but seem to be perpetual damsels-in-distress and rescued by Hiro, Kensei, Peter, HRG, West, and Alejandro? Also, the only women who can and DO take care of themselves are Jessica and Elle, both of whom are psychotic and one of whom is dying. WTF is up with this? The only positive role-model is Mama Petrelli, and she SCARES me!

Btw, I find Maya attractive when her face isn't crumpling into her usual state of distraughtness. I also think Caitlin is rather attractive, though her accent is not. Couldn't they have set this in England and have Claude come back and guest-starred MORE actors from Doctor Who?

‘Absconded?’ Wow, S2 really broke out the thesauruses ...

Hee hee, Claire's dressed like a Messenger girl in this episode. I half expected Jessica Alba to show up on a bicycle and flash her barcode at us.

Can't there be a healthy middle for Claire? Between enforced-in-the-closet and tested-into-insanity-by-the-OWI? Can't she just be a lesbian already?

I'm kinda mad that Martha's unrequited STARE that she gives Claire from the background when Claire is yammering on with West about lizards and genes and Chandra Suresh. I mean, I think the season wouldn't have gotten such bad ratings if Claire had fallen for Martha instead of West. It would've been even BETTER in that situation if Martha had no powers and was just an ordinary lesbian teenager. Seriously, then she show would have gone WAY out on a limb and Claire wouldn't be betraying her family for a stupid testosterone pumped BOY who gets her to do stupid, cover-blowing things. It could be that my hatred of West is clouding my judgment, but Claire going all stupid for a guy who blatantly STALKED her and doesn't get remotely bearable until he goes all Riley Finn and flies HRG into the SKY and knocks out Elle ... well, you can see why I'd rather Claire went for a nice, safe girl, right?

 

OMG you must listen to the commentary, only to hear the guys rattling on about how a nest of thrushes were living in Nathan's beard and how they'd make noise during takes. Not the most revolutionary, hilarious commentary, but it's worth it.

 

Kindred:

I'd forgotten how much of an ass West is. Rattling off about a 'lizard-girl' in class and freaking Claire out so much that she leaves conspicuously. Is it any wonder that I thought he was a Company Agent? I mean, suddenly he can FLY and Claire forgives the stalking and the outing in class and everything? Has she forgotten that this boy could very well give her up to the Company, who might turn her into a cadaver?

I mean, it's not as if the actor who plays West isn't cute, but WHY is the actor playing him as a total prick? The lines are good, the actor is attractive, and Claire is pretty, so the only reason the storyline bores us to tears/infuriates us beyond belief is the way West is being PLAYED. I hope that whoever told him to act it like that, or didn't stop him when they saw how he was playing West, had a good long wait during the Writer's Strike.

 

Oh, poor Hiro, he's a veritable love machine. Charlie, Yaeko, Ando, Nathan, Kensei/Adam ... and this Daphne girl sounds like a mixture of Catwoman and the Flash and has been called 'Hiro's Joker' so he's gonna have to tack HER onto his list as well ...

 

Do all Irish gangs consist of two men, the leader, and the leader's sister? I mean, I know it's a small country, but Rassilon's TONSILS!

 

Ok, does anyone ever take into account that some of the heroes want abnormal lives? After all, there's only so long that you can stay Clark Kent before you don a cape and start having subtext with Lex Luthor! Staying in the closet can bring on severe depression (which I know from experience, *cough* my father *cough*) and really, you don't want that for your superkids, especially when they've got an assoload of OTHER problems like dead/estranged parents and incesty feelings AND they're becoming teenagers!

Of course, I've never RAISED a superhero, but I think that's another problem with S2: everyone's in the Closet.

 

ARGH, Claire, baby, don't kiss on the first date! (Ya likkle slut ...)

 

Ok, what's the big 'oh no!' factor of Claire finding out that West was bagged and tagged by her daddy several years ago? She knows he did that to Ted and to Matt and bunches of other people ... why is she suddenly not trusting her dad all over again? Where was Continuity during this season? Out back smoking DOPE?!

 

Oh, Mohinder, world's worst spy ... though he IS lookin' DAMN FINE in S2. (I almost miss his I'm-so-gay clothes. ALMOST. Seeing as he's got not one but TWO sugar daddies by the third episode, I'm not complaining about his wardrobe change at all.)

 

How much do I LOVE that, when Peter's completely forgotten his past, he has complete control of his powers? It proves Claude SOOOOOOOOO right, which almost (ALMOST) makes up for the fact that he didn't show up in S2. Grrr, argh.

 

Commentary:

Apparently the 90 Angry Ronin were supposed to be the 90 HUNGRY Ronin ... and apparently the guy who thought that up imagined them as cannibals. EEEW! I know we all want to eat David Anders up, but not like THAT!

Zachary Quinto lived in Ireland for a while. No one forced him to do heists, so now he wants to go back so someone can.

The beach upon which Claire and West stupidly kiss is the same beach that Mohinder dumped Chandra Suresh's ashes.

 

The Richard Drucker files:

Ooooooo ... it's fantastic to learn more about Hana's relative ... though he's rumored to be dead via Matt (different Matt, this one had the power of being ... wicked smart ... and Elle had a crush on him but his brain died because he got hooked into the Company’s system to stop Hana and Drucker from accessing the Company’s files) but I really hope Drucker and Hana survived!

Hee hee, secret society in a college *cough* That's why Derek stole Claire's car, guys! *cough*

Hey, Drucker knew Charles Deveaux! Sweet! But Drucker split from the gang in 1977!

*is totally not searching for rubber bands to make a Drucker rubber band ball*

 

The Trials of Takezo Kensei:

Hee hee hee ... beautiful snake twin sisters? No threat to Kensei, aka Hiro's evil-ex-boyfriend!

 

The Kindness of Strangers:

Micah's other grandma, Uhuru, needed more lines in S2.

Mohinder SINGING! Oh, hell, this is totally worth the price of the DVDs!

Oh, yeah, Nathan has two sons who have names!

Am I the only one who noticed that Claire had WAY more chemistry with May (the black-haired cheerleader who gave her the release form?) Am I? Am I?

Micah's cousin Damon is SO ANNOYING.

Awwwww, Fenchurch and Arthur flying through the sky …

WHY does Molly have helixes in her eyes? I mean, it's cool and all, but unless Maury was jacking her brain again and trapping her in a coma with dreams of Sylar and cockroaches and falling helixes, there's no reason for them to be in her eyes.

Hey, look, it's the goat that nuzzled Hiro in Past!Japan ... suddenly it's in Present!Mexico ...

Zachary Quinto should not be allowed to say 'Golly.' It's just ... it's so ... such a silly expression should not turn me on. Really, it shouldn't ... *focuses on sweaty, smirking Sylar in a black tank-top instead*

 

Fight or Flight:

Naaaaaw, Monica trying out her power and Micah laughing and jumping about … it makes me so happy!

*sigh* I’ve revised my position on Caitlin. Now that my TV isn’t futzy, I can tell that she’s kinda cute, and since I know Claude didn’t come back in V2, I’m not spending all of her and Peter’s kissing sessions groaning about how Peter should fly to England and find the Doctor. So … hate her accent, love her apartment, want her paintings, and wish her storyline had speeded up, but still, I much prefer it to Hiro’s long-ass stint in Japan (sexy David Anders notwithstanding) and Maya y Alejandro’s FUCKING SLOW Road Trip Extravaganza past repeating bluescreens.

 

Deleted Scenes:

DAYUM, there was a lot more mind-fucking with poor Yaeko in the deleted scenes … but watching David Anders kiss a TREE would be hot, much less a semi-cute girl.

 

OMG! There’s scene where Monica’s taking out the trash at work at night, and the gangbanger shows up. She tries to intimidate him with some kung-fu moves, but he pull a gun. Then Mohinder comes up and shoots him with a tazer. Monica thanks Mohinder breathlessly, but Mohinder deadpans “Don’t thank me yet,” and tazers HER! Good lord that was disturbing! Harassing Sylar and tazering Jessica when she slammed you into a wall and is strangling Bob is one thing, but tazering a LITTLE GIRL?! Jesus, Mohinder! I’m so glad that we didn’t have to see how exactly he ‘brought her in.’

 

The Line:

How come they’re not testing the Virus on Niki/Jessica? Or on of the Level Fivers? Why Monica? Is it some kind of test of Mohinder’s character/obedience? If Bob promised a visit with Sylar, I’m sure Mohinder would gladly stick a whole horde of people in the arms with the Virus!

Jack Coleman should not be allowed to speak Ukrainian/Russian/whatever-the-hell-that-language-is. Really. His character is disturbing enough without the Bond-villain accent and strains of sinister Russian music in the background.

 

I’ve just remembered that Caitlin is stuck in a future that will no longer exist. This means that she’s irretrievable. Nice going, Pete. Now she’ll never have a shot at killing Elle.

 

Hee hee, when you watch the show with Spanish subtitles, ‘Claire-bear’ translates as ‘Osita’ which means ‘baby/little girl bear.’ How cute!

 

So V2’s product-placement tagline is “If you’re illegally crossing the border and hicks with guns rough up your sides, they won’t get in! The Nissan Rouge is also incredibly slow, easily stolen, and comes in these exciting colors!” I much prefer Hiro’s “Nissan Versa, Nissan Versa, Nissan Versa!” from V1.

 

Sneaking around in the dark … that’s not very Bushido of you!

Ok, Bob? When you were talking about how Mohinder’s valuable to the Company and said “not just for your blood” you glanced up and down Mohinder quickly like you were checking him out. EW! Stop ogling Mohinder, can’t you see the large sign hover over Mohinder’s head flashing the words ‘property of Sylar?!’

Ok, writers? Back before the strike, you might have thought of changing “The Swordsmith escapes!” to something more along the lines of “The Swordsmith is escaping!” because the later doesn’t sound like some sort of play-by-play commentary.

 

Oh, come on! Claire was scrunching her shoulders and smiling in that nervous/flirtatious way that people do when they like someone when May was telling her that Claire was on the squad!

 

Ok, I’m totally viewing the whole Kensei-feels-betrayed-by-Hiro-kissing-Yaeko with slasher-goggles: Kensei loves Hiro, and is betrayed that Hiro would kiss a girl instead of him. I mean, given the choice, I would kiss David Anders rather than Yaeko, even if she is a cutie.

Why is Bob being so nice to Monica? Is that now standard-Company-procedures, because they ‘lost’ the Haitian and can’t erase potential-future-employees’ minds? Or is he setting her up to become a future agent? Who would her partner be? Thompson Jr.? Wait a second … how come the Company’s not stealing Monica then and there! She’s the right age for missions, I think …

Ooooo! Some of White Beard’s flags survived and live on in … a dingy warehouse in Montreal. What is this, Lost?

 

Deleted Scenes:

It’s two bits that would have been included had they included the scene in which Mohinder zaps Monica with a tazer to bring her in. Monica seems more angry at Bob than at Mohinder, but, knowing Mohinder, had he done that, he would have spent the whole ride/flight back to NY apologizing over and over again, agonizing about his impending domestic-partnership with Matt and how that conflicts with his ever-present-feelings for his father’s murderer, and monologing about how man comes up against all these lines in his life and how there’s always a choice between whether to cross that line or not.

Oh, and Hiro makes a Superman-reference and watches Kensei and Yaeko kiss again. It’s about that interesting.

 

Out of Time:

Ok, guys? This is like watching Mylar-logic all over again. Kensei was betrayed by Hiro, he wants to rule half of Japan and take Yaeko as his Princess … and so, instead of killing the man who can bend time-and-space with his wibbly-wobbly-face Kensei … drugs him? Ok … because not killing the powerless hero is … a good plan? Even eviler than killing him? I don’t get the vibe that Kensei is really evil here, just distraught and angry, so what gives here? I mean, with this, PLUS the scene in the finale where Sylar makes as if to leave with the cure and NOT kill Mohinder or take Molly’s epically-useful-power, V2 is all about the CANON SLASH LURVE.

 

HRG, don’t burn art! You’re gonna go to the inner-ring of the seventh circle of Hell, right next to the sodomites and blasphemers!

*headdesk* Claire lets loose on West once more about the dire need for secrecy and West says “I just wanna be a part of your life.” Claire crumples at that and I think ‘Yeah, maybe the Company will let you share a CELL while they TEST YOU TO DEATH!’

I like the touch of the signs for people’s last names above where Peter was waiting in the future. Very … nice. Yes, I’m a fan of post-and-current-apocalyptic futures, why do you ask?

 

Deleted Scenes:

God, that was blatant. While Mrs. Bennent’s not looking, West changes the old light-bulb for an ‘eco-friendly’ swively kind for her. I am SO GLAD that they didn’t keep that in, product-placement or no product-placement.

*sigh* Matt, since Adam can’t hurt minds, and Peter’s too stupid to know how, I don’t see how Molly seeing a picture of either, squinching her eyes shut, and putting a tack in a book of maps is going to stop her from “being a kid.” Glad they cut out this scene too.

 

 

Four Months Ago:

D.L. saving that girl from the fire, and then dying a scene or two later, STILL made me cry and wail.

David Anders is hot.

I am mad that we saw the evolution of Maya y Alejandra instead of Mohinder deciding to play house with Matt and Molly. Seriously, why did we miss out on THREE heroes? WHY?!

I kept yelling ‘Skank!’ when Elle came onscreen. Then again, she and Peter have so much in common: slash-sluts, sometimes cute, sometimes annoying, sometimes have great lines, generate great slash pairings … that I’m revising not only my outlook on Caitlin but also on Elle. Of course, Elle’s got snappy dialogue towards the end of V2 (the fact that I’ve seen some Veronica Mars episodes by now helps too) and Caitlin is … dare I  say it … HOT … so the DVDs are certainly rehyping me for V3.

Ok, so lemme get this straight: we can see Gina snorting crack/cocaine (I don’t know my drugs. I know that marijuana is legal in California for medicinal purposes and has a leaf, and that heroin is taken with a needle and makes you look all sweaty and exhausted, and pills make you really chatty and hyper in the morning … but that’s about it. I can’t remember the different between crack and cocaine and meth.), people getting shot, people getting their heads SLICED OPEN, and watch Niki slink around suggestively in her undies in V1 Pilot … but no gay kisses? WTF is WRONG with this country?!

 

Deleted Scenes:

Niki takes a pill, Maya cries in a Church and gets huggles from a nun, and Nathan yells at his wife and children and then cries when one of his sons gives him a hug.

WTF, NO Mohinder/Matt/Molly scenes AT ALL?! Did the writers quit halfway through writing the episode and leave out those bits?

 

Cautionary Tales

Sandra falling to her knees after Claire told her HRG was dead made me want to cry all over again, and I know now (and I knew THEN!) that HRG wasn’t really dead-dead.

Ok, hate V2 all you want, but you’ve got to admit that this episode kicks major ass. Especially the closing sequence with Hiro doing Kaito’s not-an-eulogy and us seeing glimpses of several different stories.

I kinda wonder if Claire lost her virginity that night. I mean, I wouldn’t have wanted her to, and as much of an ass as West is I don’t think he’d take advantage of her grief like that, but it’s a possibility.

I wonder why HRG didn’t kidnap Mohinder as well. I mean, he’s easier to restrain than Elle, less murderous, not insane, and also uber-valuable to the Company. Besides, he’d look DAMN HOT handcuffed to a chair.  

 

Deleted Scenes:

Hiro tells Ando that he will bring the man who killed Kaito ‘to justice.’

Molly tells Matt that she didn’t use her power to play hide-and-seek, and won anyway. Then she inadvertently guilt-trips him. Good. Despite gaining more brain cells and ditching his wifey in V2, Matt still annoys me. But it’s a competent kind of annoying, so he’s moving up in the world.  

 

Truth and Consequences

I am still pissed with Tim Kring about killing off the Badass Mainer. Seriously, I take it as a personal slight.

The actress who plays Young!Victoria reminds me strangely of Anne Hathaway.

Hee, you can tell that they didn’t have time to put prosthetics on George Takei and that the actor playing Young!Kaito was drying desperately to imitate Mr. Takei’s distinct voice patterns. Not working out so hot. He sounds more like he’s loosing his voice and really, really breathless about it than George Takei. Then again, the only person who sounds like George Takei is George Takei.

Whose decision was it to make Peter stupidly evil? It’s not hot at ALL, nor is it cute, it’s ANNOYING. I mean, if he knew what he was doing was evil and accepted it and maybe threw in an insane laugh or two, then he’d be sexy as hell, but him going “Adam’s a good person! Why are you all trying to kill my new snarky English boyfriend?”

 

Powerless

GUH! How slashtastic is the first scene of this episode? Really, it’s like, EPIC. Maya blathers on and fondles Mohinder and sits him down at his own table and all Sylar can do is stare at Mohinder because he hasn’t seen him for MONTHS and man did his boyfriend get hotter! The first thing Sylar said after welcoming Mohinder into the apartment was “Oooo, what happened to your nose?” and you just KNOW he’s gonna track down Nikesica and make her PAY for hurting his Momo.

Then he was practically CARESSING Mohinder’s face with the gun! Just like John Hart did to Ianto in the elevator in S2 of Torchwood! Except not as British or Welsh …

*sporfles* You’d think that Sylar would be pleased to half-strip and get tied up by Mohinder … but the slowly-simmering-rage is far more amusing. “I’m going to take my jacket off … sassily!”

Ewww, Sylar’s one of those people who watches when they’re having blood taken. Eugh …

Ok, the Monica-and-the-Backpack story? Really stupid. It would have made more sense to me if Monica finally told the police about the guy who she kicked through a window and he and/or his gang came after Monica and there was a showdown in the house OR they nabbed her and tried to set her on fire in the building. THAT would have seemed more appropriate.

Ok, Kensadam definitely says “Koi!” at least twice whilst yelling in the coffin. This makes me happy. I wonder who his 11th Wifey is?

 

 

Alt-Ending

HOMG the Virus SMASHES! (I admit it, I yelped when it smashed. It was so artful…)

ZOMBIEPOCALYPSE! ZOMBIEPOCALYPSE!

There’s chilling sequences of a woman accepting coffee from a guy and high-fiving another, and the screen freezes at each contact and we keep seeing these little cells over the scene. Matt, Nathan, and Peter make it to the police station and prepare to shut down the town, quarantine-style. Matt Jedi-mind-tricks the force (who aren’t believing them) to listen to Nathan, who becomes an awesome leader. Peter heads off to the highschool.

Once again Sylar leaves Mohinder and Molly and Maya alive and flees with the blood after Elle entering for a SNAFU. Niki rescues Monica.

Apparently Peter was supposed to cause a landslide on the Bridge-of-Claude-Death-and-father-daughter-tears (the only bridge in or out of the town … so in Texas there are towns ringed around with impassable mountains?) to stop people from getting in or out. We only see storyboards, but it would have been cool.

Nathan holds a press conference to tell the world that Odessa TX is quarantined, and makes a great speech. Hiro and Ando watch from Japan on Hiro’s computer, Hiro looking devastated. Molly yelps that Matt’s on TV and so Maya and Mohinder and Elle watch as well. Claire watches and for a while it looks like she’s finally proud of her bio-dad and then says “Peter! You’re alive!” really breathlessly. (Silly girl! Incest is gross!) Then Nathan looses his steam and passes out, burning up with the Shanti Virus. Oh noes! So in EITHER plot, Nathan was screwed!

 

Oh, Tim Kring and two guys (whose names I can’t remember) talked about the alt-ending to 11 and episodes 12 and 13 a bit. Claire and Mohinder (and Maya) were going to end up in Odessa, and Maya would end up being a hero by pulling the Virus into her. This would either kill her or begin the ‘Mohinder/Maya romance’ (their words, not mine because I have one thing to say about that: DO NOT WANT!) And how at the end of episode 13 that-guy from the Virus-Future who talked to Peter (who they all though was working for the government and helping Odessa TX) was actually working for the Company and the OWI wanted Odessa to DIE DIE DIE!

 

… I … I kinda wish that storyline had stayed. Not just because I’m a sucker for apocalyptic zombie-invasion barricade-yourselves on-the-run slashy-dialogue shotgun extravaganzas, but because he sounds really well thought out and it’s a shame they didn’t get to go with it. Of course, now we have no depressed-Hiro, Maya/Mohinder-while-Sylar-is-being-stalked-by-Elle, or dying-Nathan (guys, we’ve seen the promos, apparently being shot TWICE in the chest by an assassin of unknown-gender can’t keep you down. Nor, apparently, can a house fire and gas-explosion.)

 

Season 3 Teaser

 

Peter has his FYG scar … and a sexy coat. Did we really need to hear about how excited the actors are after we SAW that?

Also, Molly has been shipped away to ‘safety’ and now Mohinder’s sharing his apartment with none other than Maya. When he walks in at one point she thinks he’s Sylar and tries to attack him with a cricket bat. I refuse to laugh. I refuse!

I want Sylar to arrive, kill her (or knock her out, I don’t really care) and kidnap Mohinder to help him take down the Company with HRG so that we can write OT3 fics!

 

Lost Story Arcs

 

They kick ass. I’m resenting the Writer’s Strike all over again, because in stuff that was filmed-but-not-aired for episodes 12 and 13 of V2 (that sadly never ending up existing) we see Elle trying to hunt down Sylar, Sylar taking the invincible skin of a man VIA HIS MOUTH AND NASAL CAVITY because the lobotomy-slice won’t work on this one, Elle having a chat with HRG (who is playing with that bouncy ball STILL, YAY!) and saying she doesn’t have a partner. HRG says she must, just one her father hasn’t told her about because he intends to have that partner step in when Sylar tries to kill Elle and take her power. Elle is upset at being used as ‘bait’ and insists that her father loves her and storms out. HRG goes back to playing with his bouncy ball. Sylar takes the power of a chameleon-woman against the wall at the bottom of a staircase (which explains that clip we’ve all seen.) Did I mention that Sylar’s hair looks DAMN FINE in his scenes?

 

Also, Hiro angsts about the Virus being released and killing 95,000 people (if the plotline hadn’t been dropped) and swears off timetravel. Ando leaps into traffic to jump-start his friend’s superhero complex, but Hiro merely shoves him onto the sidewalk without use of his powers. He’s so … unlike Hiro in this scene. It’s heartbreaking. Of course, he mentions Charlie (YAY!) and we all know that he’s angsting over the loss of his evil-ex-boyfriend.

 

Then Angela has a terrifying dream about the Level Fivers (we ought to make up a catchier name for them …) laying waste to the Company facility in NY. There’s blood and flickering lights and shaky-cam shots. We see Hiro slumped in a doorway, the Kensei sword in his chest. We see Monica and Micah with big bloody wounds on their chests lying on the floor (that’s where I shrieked. You just … you can’t kill children. You CAN’T!) We see Matt sitting in a chair with his throat slit, and Peter with his head through a broken window, this awful burn-mark or something on his chest, looking woozy. Then we see this black guy (Knox, is my guess) manhandling Claire in her S1 cheerleading uniform. He shoves her up a wall, strangling her, like Sylar did with Jackie, then flings her out of our line of sight. When we see her again, her head is missing from her body. YEEK! We finally see that this is Angela, and she turns and sees four people in the corridor: Adam, Niki/Jessica/whatever, Maury, and the-guy-who-I-think-is-Knox. Angela zeros in on Adam and Nikesica, then suddenly Sylar appears behind Angela and grabs her shoulders. This doesn’t make Angela scream or loose it, but she doesn’t look exactly comforted. I’m still betting that Sylar is her son, really, I am. Then Angela wakes up in the back of her … car? Limo? Archie? *shrugs* And the word ‘spoilers’ flashes across the screen a bit. I see no spoilers, though, so maybe we already saw the spoilers? Was Knox the spoilers? *shrugs*

 

 

Dudes, I am so excited for V3.

I thank you for posting all that! Wow. It's amazing how much of volume II has left my head. And now you've got me more excited for vIII than I have been thus far, so yay! That was delightfully extensive!

'Delightfully extensive' ... yeah, that'd be me, I'm afraid ... *grinz* I have the strange desire to type up and post my thoughts on certain things all the time, especially where TV shows are concerned.
You're welcome! Thank you very much for reading and commenting!
Quite a bit of V2 was actually quite good. I mean, there were low points, but still, good stuff too.

V3 is gonna ROCK my mismatched SOCKS. ALL of them.

He DID say koi! FTW! XD And yeah Mohinder/Maya is >__< I mean who in their right minds would want to see Mohinder/Maya over the House of M?!?! I mean, srsly. I was like the first person to say that Sylar was probably the adopted one and was probably Angela's child (as I was one of the first people to find that vid that Angela has THREE children).

I mean, it'd make sense , with her not being frightened of him and all and stuff. *shrug* Amd yeah 'Powerless' was like a Mylar-fest, lol. I mean *I* noticed it, and it was before I really BLATANTLY noticed the Mylar, you know? But this was like MYLAR IS ON THE SCREEN, MYLAR IS ON THE SCREEN! =P Yeah, the alternate ending for S2 would have been cool as well, but there would have been less Sylar for S3 though and that's not cool. I've come to like Matt pretty well, mostly because the Matt/Mohinder is like canon (as canon as Mylar) and the father/daughter stuff between Matt and Molly made me go 'awww'. I mean, when she called him dad I think I squee'd. XD

There just has to be more Adam/Hiro interaction, Nathan/Peter, hopefully some Matt/Mohinder and Mylar. And Claude MUST be back in S3 for like...every episode. I'm sure Peter wouldn't complain. XD Or H.R.G for that matter. ^_~

(I wonder how much money us fangirls would have to offer DT to appear on Heroes... I mean, just imagine...a ep with CE AND DT in it ^////^)

Oh, and in other news. TDK = OMFG WIN! Batman/Joker. XDDDDDDDD (I might actually go se TDK for a third time....I'll probably wait till it goes to the $1 theater, then I can see it like 5 or 6 times for the price of what would be like one ticket in the regular theater. XP)

I KNOW! SQUEE!

And yeah Mohinder/Maya is >__< I mean who in their right minds would want to see Mohinder/Maya over the House of M?!?!
*shakes head* Come on, Kring, you know about the Petrellicest, ZQ and Sendhil know about the Mylar ... it's not as though you can claim you didn't know what you were getting yourself into when hundreds of furious fangirls storm your office ...

I was like the first person to say that Sylar was probably the adopted one and was probably Angela's child (as I was one of the first people to find that vid that Angela has THREE children).
I know, I was there ... (it explains why she's practically petting him and saying "you need to be strong for what's to come.")

Yeah, the alternate ending for S2 would have been cool as well, but there would have been less Sylar for S3 though and that's not cool.
True, because he'd have been filming for Star Trek ...

I've come to like Matt pretty well, mostly because the Matt/Mohinder is like canon (as canon as Mylar) and the father/daughter stuff between Matt and Molly made me go 'awww'. I mean, when she called him dad I think I squee'd. XD
Yeah, it's nice to see that Mohinder had someone to snuggle with while he thought his Sylar was dead ... and yes, Matt as Molly's dad = OMG SQUEE on my end.

And Claude MUST be back in S3 for like...every episode. I'm sure Peter wouldn't complain. XD Or H.R.G for that matter. ^_~
CE should be a series regular. And alternate between Peter and HRG ... and possibly Adam. *grinz*

(I wonder how much money us fangirls would have to offer DT to appear on Heroes... I mean, just imagine...a ep with CE AND DT in it ^////^)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... *drools* It's only the second day of Orientation and I fell asleep on the bus ride home! *slumps and dreams of a Heroes episode with Claude AND DT*

Oh, and in other news. TDK = OMFG WIN! Batman/Joker. XDDDDDDDD
That would be my reaction simplified. *grinz* I need to see it a second time ...

Koi = fangirls everywhere go nuts. XD

Lol no kidding! So much of the slash is like SOOO blatant, but we don't even get a little kiss between them ;___;

I know, I was there ... (it explains why she's practically petting him and saying "you need to be strong for what's to come.")
Ooh! And apparently we've seen Peter use the power he gained from Angela--man omg I can only imagine the fic that will come because of that power, lol.

True, because he'd have been filming for Star Trek ...))
yeah, and I want lots of ZQ on teh show! So I'm glad it turned out this way, so we have lots more Sylar (I bet Mohinder won't complain, lol--on the screen he'll pretend and stuff, but we all know he'd be lonely if he NEVER saw Sylar again. And since Matt is going to get teleported into the desert and who KNOWS how long it'll take to get back to Momo, then Sylar and Mohinder can play house! XD)

Yeah, it's nice to see that Mohinder had someone to snuggle with while he thought his Sylar was dead ... and yes, Matt as Molly's dad = OMG SQUEE on my end.))
I know! And yeah, I SOO squee'd with the whole 'dad' thing. XD

CE should be a series regular. And alternate between Peter and HRG ... and possibly Adam. *grinz*
YES HE SHOULD! NO ONE WOULD COMPLAIN! And yeah, alternate between all three of them! You got me liking Plaude (did I mention that? If I didn't, now you know. XD) and I kind of fell into liking Claude/HRG through the ep's, talks with you and reading fics by tju_tju_tju_tju and stuff. And the Adam/Claude I came to like recently when I stumbled across a Adam/Claude fic by guanin. <3 (I always stumble onto the best stuff. xD)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... *drools* It's only the second day of Orientation and I fell asleep on the bus ride home! *slumps and dreams of a Heroes episode with Claude AND DT*
well school can be stressful! Mmm a Claude AND DT ep of Heroes, GUH. I don't think we'd be able to take so much awesome and hotness of so many people on one show. lol

That would be my reaction simplified. *grinz* I need to see it a second time ...))
I wrote/rambled a longer reaction on my LJ page. I actually saw it for a second time last sunday. I might see it again this sunday. I REALLLLY want to. But at the same time I'm waiting for it to get to the $1 theater so I can watch it like all day--literally lol.

So yeah, along with my other obsessions, I'm obsessing over Batman/Joker right now. Oh my GUH, how come I didn't notice teh awesome sooner??! Thank you The Dark Knight!!!! XD

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell, we DID get gun-face-caressing, and even after concealing the cure-everything-blood Sylar STILL didn't kill Mohinder, so I'd say we're getting quite a bit considering it's an American show ...
We need more though. V3 had better have at least ONE comment or even more Sylar-leaving-Mohinder-alive-AGAIN scenes ...

Ooh! And apparently we've seen Peter use the power he gained from Angela--man omg I can only imagine the fic that will come because of that power, lol.
Is her power the prophetic dreams, or mind-control-via-touching, or what?

yeah, and I want lots of ZQ on teh show! So I'm glad it turned out this way, so we have lots more Sylar (I bet Mohinder won't complain, lol--on the screen he'll pretend and stuff, but we all know he'd be lonely if he NEVER saw Sylar again.
Very true!

And since Matt is going to get teleported into the desert and who KNOWS how long it'll take to get back to Momo
Especially since Bad Horse I mean, a horse and Peter seem to be in the desert with Matt!

then Sylar and Mohinder can play house! XD)
*GRINZ* Oh, please gods ABOVE, can't Sylar get pawed at by Angela, then do that thing with Claire, and set up camp in Mohinder's apartment for the rest of the season? They can eat popcorn and watch Peter and Claude's reunion scene down on the street below!

You got me liking Plaude (did I mention that? If I didn't, now you know. XD)
You probably told me ... but I'm flattered all over again!

LINKIES PLEASE! (Claude/Adam would be, like, the closest we're gonna get to Doctor/Master without bringing in Thompson (EEEWWW!) or hitching Hiro and Adam up ...)

well school can be stressful! Mmm a Claude AND DT ep of Heroes, GUH. I don't think we'd be able to take so much awesome and hotness of so many people on one show. lol
They could put them with a bunch of annoying female characters and show how Claude and DT's character would be more interested in each other than all the weepy, busty blonds!

I don't have much time for obsessions. I'll soon be getting House via Netflix, and Heroes starts up soon again, but besides that, no obsessions. Trying to write Episode 2, and that birthday fic for prettyarbitrary (which is proving harder than I expected) *kerslump*

I bet we will! It's like Mohinder's a piece of metal and Sylar's a magnet. XD

mind-control via touching, is what I've heard. =X

Especially since Bad Horse I mean, a horse and Peter seem to be in the desert with Matt!
no kidding!

that'd be soooo great! lmao!

Yup!

LINKIES PLEASE! (Claude/Adam would be, like, the closest we're gonna get to Doctor/Master without bringing in Thompson (EEEWWW!) or hitching Hiro and Adam up ...)
lol true! here's her lj page http://guanin.livejournal.com/ just scroll down a bit, she has links to all the chapters to her fic. enjoy! XD

They could put them with a bunch of annoying female characters and show how Claude and DT's character would be more interested in each other than all the weepy, busty blonds!
Definitely! But...oh god...if Claude and DT got it on I think all of our heads would explode from the sexy fantasticness.

*pats on the back* Obsessions stay with me, even if I'm busy lol, so even if I don't have time to write/read them, I can just imagine them in my head. Imagination ftw! XD I can't wait until Season 3 of Heroes! (oh and yeah, House is ftw!). It's actually coming up soon yay!

Like the Doctor and the Master! (Except more people-getting-killed than planets-being-destroyed with the Mylar.)

mind-control via touching, is what I've heard. =X
So that explains all the 'Italian' touching going around the Petrelli fam, eh? *grinz* Perhaps THIS will stop the Petrellicest ... but probalby not. *sighs* I guess I'll just have to live with the incest pairings. Good thing I don't watch Supernatural.

Bad Horse FTW!

that'd be soooo great! lmao!
I'd tolerate Maya if she made the popcorn for the Plaude reunion-party. I think I can only stand that woman when she's making food for her ex-boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend's boyfriend.

Thanks for the linky! I'll get to that ... someday. Soon. Hopefully.

Definitely! But...oh god...if Claude and DT got it on I think all of our heads would explode from the sexy fantasticness.
It'd be a happy death, though. Then in the afterlife we could all colectively squee our way down to special hell!

I can't wait until Season 3 of Heroes! (oh and yeah, House is ftw!). It's actually coming up soon yay!
Huzzah! (You seen those countdown adds? They excite me to no end. Makes my internal-tallying way easier.) *dances about*
