Heroes - 1x23 - How to Stop an Exploding Man
HAS THIS ICON EVER BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE? OH MY GOD I DON'T THINK SO.
HOW DO I DO THIS.
I knew, I knew, I knew, I KNEW, that's how it would wrap itself up. I knew. Peter's vision -- he was directly responsible for the deaths of Simone and Nathan. But I didn't want it to happen. As soon as he swooped down from the sky -- I realised, that despite his faults, or maybe because of those faults, Nathan was my favourite character on that show. Hands down. The most complex. Everything.
OH NATHAN.
God, I am incoherent here.
OK, so, thoughts.
· Mohinder's speech from "Genesis"! ♥ With a beautiful montage of our heroes, and how far they've come, and all the newness in his speechifying.
· Aw, Matt & Molly. Look at her SMILE!
· "I will not abandon my friend." ♥ OH NAKAMURAS. You are too much awesome for my pants.
· Please to be making Sylar stop being so fucking HOT. And so now he's obsessed with not only Mohinder, but also Peter, ha ha. Don't blame him. Also -- I love the whole sequence with him painting, seeing the vision in his fully white eyes, and that he's painting without paintbrushes.
· Oh FLYING MAN. He's already sent Heidi, Simon, and Monty away. Also, Mama P? That's some bad touch right there. Runs in this family, dude.
· Christ. I waffle so much on the Niki/Jessica/DL/Micah storyline thing. But I do NOT want DL to die. I like DL and Niki together.
· (I keep glancing up at my icon and wanting to cry some more. OH NATHAN.)
· Mohinder and Phil getting rid of Thompson's body. And oh protective!Mohinder is too hot for me. He's gonna take care of Molly!
· HA HA Peter on the pink cell phone. *cough*
· So Peter's taking them to go meet with Nathan. And reading Claire's thoughts. But he needs his big brother! Because he's scared, oh, woobie. And I like that Peter's over his whole "I'M GONNA ASPLODE" thing and focused on Sylar being the bomb.
· Claire? Honey? Whatcha doin'? -- And now Peter's reading Nathan's mind, and feeling betrayed, as he should, because Nathan's a tool, and Claire ran right off into Mama Petrelli, and Peter's running now too.
· Jesus, Mama P looked downright sinister.
· Also, just like Ted, Pete starts going nuclear when he gets overwrought. OH PETER.
· PS: Dear Angela Petrelli, you're a bad influence on your oldest son. LET HIM BE A HERO. JESUS CHRIST. Ambivalent Feelings Today, ashinae.
· Nathan needs to redeem himself. He needs to help Peter.
· "up and running" -- ha ha. Oh, Matt and Mohinder and Molly. ♥ WHO IS WORSE THAN SYLAR!? OH MY GOD. Is that our season 2 big bad? "When I think about him he can see me." FUCKING CREEPY.
· Aw, Mohinder never got to meet Isaac! :( Who appears to be remaining dead.
· Nathan and Angela are trying to take care of Claire -- but AGH. NATHAN. STOP BEING A TOOL. They need her to stay and help! They need Nathan to stay and help!
· "Not without Petrelli. We need to find him." And Matt's going after Sylar alone. OH MATT YOU DUMMY.
· Ooh, is this the past? Simone and Charles Deveaux! Peter must be witnessing this to see the conversation between his mum and Charles. (Oh, Peter, you poet you.)
· Yup. This is important. Charles bet on Peter to be a hero -- and he didn't want the whole bomb thing to happen. OK SO -- Linderman, Petrellis Senior, Nakamura, Deveaux. -- Interesting conversation, about how one can tell when their kids "manifest", as such. And Jesus Peter's family just keeps on disappointing him.
· See, I'd thought Pete got the ability from Deveaux, initially. But, then, he'd only just graduated from nursing school when he had his first dream/vision (Nathan & Heidi's accident) -- he wouldn't have been taking care of Charles yet. Then I thought his mum. WHO THEN?
· omg Ando omg Ando omg ANDO.
· ... Oh, Sylar. You're so yay. You and your preposterous eyebrows!
· OH HIRO. "I'm here to save you." OH. OH.
· CHRIST, Candace, this isn't nice. I'm over liking you.
· Gee, Sylar's getting lots of gentlemen callers today. Heh.
· "No. He's not on his way. He's already here." DUN DUN DUN!
· Aw. Pictures. :( Nathan, STOP BEING A TOOL. JUST STOP. YOU'RE BEING A TOOL. (Oh, touchy-feely Petrellis) -- GO CLAIRE GO! NATHAN! FOLLOW HER! YOU CAN FLY, YOU TOOL!
· (I wish Hana was in this, being gorgeous and awesome. And also gorgeous.)
· Oh, go Niki! I imagine parts of Jessica will linger, but the ability was always Niki's -- the Jessica personality was just the one who could tap into it, because she was willing to use it.
· Mohinder! Trying to save DL! He's so Dr Batman.
· Oh, Hiro took Ando home to keep him safe! "One day people will tell the story of Hiro Nakamura." ♥ "It is not the sword. It is the man. The man is ready." "Hiro! You look bad ass." And Ando looks kind of lost. :(
· "You needed to hear the truth before you saved the world." Aw, Peter. All you need is love, baby!
· Phil found Peter! It should have been Nathan. :( EXCEPT HIS NAME IS NOAH! OH I LOVE IT! And I get points for it being four letters long, right? Right? (We still don't know what the Haitian's name is, so I'm still calling him GEORGE.)
· Okay, Molly/Micah OTP for YAY. Y/N?
· Oh they are all coming to the same place as in Peter's vision. So Nathan will make his late entrance and...
· I DON'T WANT AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE SILVER SURFER I WANT THE LAST TEN MINUTES OF MY SHOW NBC YOU BASTARD GIVE ME MY SHOW
· "Haven't I killed you before?" "Didn't take." OH PETER. ♥
· OH MY GOD, MATT. OH MOHINDER, GOTTA SAVE EVERYBODY. GO NIKI WITH THE KICKASS OF KICKASSITUDE. And now Peter's got her super strength.
· "Turns out you're the villain, Peter. I'm the hero."
· "Yatta." Holy shit, Hiro. Holy crap. PETER. WHERE IS YOUR BIG BROTHER. OR YOUR NIECE. And the music and the no words until "Do it" and
· NATHAN OH MY GOD NATHAN I KNEW IT.
· "I'm not leaving you, Peter."
· "You saved the cheerleader, so we could save the world."
· "I love you, Nathan." "I love you too, Peter."
· So, Grunberg's four uncertain fates: Matt, Peter, Nathan, Sylar. Three of them are alive. One of them is dead. And oh god it's Nathan. NATHAN. I knew, I knew, I knew, but oh my god NATHAN.
· "Please don't die, officer Parkman. You're my hero." And because wee sweet Molly (Mohinder gonna adopt her? HEE) said that, Matt'll live.
· Is Mohinder in tears? Oh MOHINDER.
· "You've got a plan, right?"
· And Sylar dragged himself away. "End of volume one."
· "Volume Two" -- "Generations."
· Hiro! Where are you, baby? DUDE SAMURAI. SAMURAI! Outside Kyoto, Japan, 1671. -- Dude. George Takei is totally playing Kensei. -- Also? Eclipse.
OH SHOW. OH NATHAN. OH PETER.
OH NATHAN.
So, yeah. Ash had a good cry tonight.
