Heroes
I have decided that I like Heroes. I especially enjoy the clunky "We're using a comic book to predict the future and explain to us how we can save the world by acting like comic book heroes," plot device.
I'm really enjoying Hiro - he's so...adorkable. And yet oddly hot when he's Future!Hiro. Though, dude, if I were going to "risk a breach" to deliver a message to the past, I would so, *so* be less vague and more specific. Yeah, yeah, *handwave* "can't disrupt the time-continuum," *handwave* but would, "You have to save Claire Bennett at x time and x place by doing x," be so hard?!
Niki's "power" is scary. An interesting take on a supervillain perhaps? It stresses me out on her behalf. I wonder if her son is a super-genius or just a regular genius.
I enjoy seeing how everyone is ending up connected.
Matt is kinda fun, though I think I'd be creeped out by now if I were his wife. Also, how much do you want to bet that he has secret "sleeper-programming," from that scary "hollow-him-out" dude? Maybe I'm reading too much into the very meta, "coffee ice cream," comment and seeing it as a reference to Francie the double-agent in Alias but I think I'd think this regardless.
Mohinder is sweet. I mostly want to like him, I think, because if I were in that show, I'd end up being the powerless one chasing everyone who did have cool powers.
Argh, this show makes me weep for my lack of super powers. You know, for a long time, I've decided if I ever get granted a wish, notwithstanding that whole "careful-what-you-wish-for" thing, I've decided I would wish for a bag of infinite muffins that grant the power of flight. Because I think that would be the coolest thing in the universe. But then I think about me, and figure, I'd probably loose it. Which is a depressing thought. And really neither here nor there except it's late and I'm tired and it seems vaguely related to the topic of superheroes.
Finally, I think my heart belongs to Peter, he's such a sweetie, and very pretty even though I don't usually go for the pretty-boy types. I find his powers fascinating. Useless on his own, but put him in a group of heroes and...woah. Annoyingly, his name is the same as my dad's and hearing it keeps pulling me out of the show. Hopefully I'll get used to that.
Also, one wonders what could kill an indestructable cheerleader. I'm figuring that branch in her brain kept her "dead" because the "death" injury was still in effect and once it was removed it could heal. Also, Brody killed her twice. After he accidentally snapped her neck, I thought, "Woah, that's pretty creepy and sick, you know, that dude just KILLED her even if it was an accident, that's...a disturbing visual and I'm not sure what to make of this as a message to the audience. Especially not if we're supposed to find this proto-romance/flirtation between the characters sweet." Fortunately we weren't. Go me for noticing subtext!
S'all folks! Cos now I'ma go to bed.
