I found myself laughing or giggling all the time while the main villains were on screen, unless that was the writers goal (but I don't feel so), I think that something is wrong.
Last time on these screens, a number of very interesting female characters captured our attention: Jessica, Elle, Eden... Daphne. Yeah.
We have 3 or 4 women still on this show: at the end of the episode one is dead (although Daphne is not dead, of course), one captured, one grounded and the 4th... we scarcely saw her.
Instead we have an episode that is a kind of slash fest ... I don't even know where to start to list all the pairs/threesomes . We even have some new entries! Danko the Hunter and Robin ehm ... Luke the Nukeboy, the new shiny Sylar's toy-boy!
And When did Mohinder ever met Hiro?
New & Exciting things for Sylar!
Writers rooms:
- What can we do with Sylar?
- Well, let send him searching for his father! (But the Latins were quite clear "Mater semper certa, pater numquam")
- Ah, ok! a nice road-trip all around the States, exciting! We have never done that with Sylar!
- And why not give him a partner in crime?
- Great idea!
- Maybe someone like him, with parent's issue, broken and damaged! a Kindred Soul!
- Great ... we are really original!
The authors slapped themselves on the shoulders.
(any reference to Mohinder/Zane Road Trip, The Twins of Boredom/Gabriel Road Trip, Sylar/Mohinder, Sylar/Virginia, Sylar/Elle is merely fortuitous)
"I let you live, it's a kind of big deal for me". Oh, poor Elle Luke, Plot Device for Sylar's Storyline, I can see how this will end...
And what a coincidence! It's indeed a small world!!! How convenient is that "the plot-line boy who live next door" has a power too?
Just Please, PLEASE, tell me that Luke is not his half brother ... but last time I
asked something about Peter powers and turns out that they do it...
PS: Anyone else found ridiculous that Sylar needed to be saved by the kid? I mean ... this is the same Sylar that in the last episode overpowered an entire SWAT team? Whatever.
We had some hilarious facial expressions. Thanks Zachary Quinto. You so need to do a comedy again, please Zach! ASAP!
Meanwhile, in the MAIN STORYLINE:
Still loving evil!Nathan (he is simply awesome!!!) and still hating HRG morally black.
So this plane crashes in the middle of a field and not a scratch on anyone and everyone is running around. The luckiest survivors in the world. Although...
WHERE ARE THE OTHER PRISONERS?
Correct me if I am wrong: even if it had no sense at all from a physics POW ... but when Ando and Daphne touched, shouldn't they go back in the past at hyper speed? Silly me, that happened in the past voulme, now we can all forget it!
Wait, wait! don't forget it... the future we saw still exist! Hiro can't be dead because Ando will kill him in that Future!!! So little Noah and Daddy!Sylar will happen? *happy dance* *headtodesk*
Anyway: is there a community that ship Daphne and Ando? APHNE? DANDO? whatever. There is chemistry between the two!
This is the right pair, no Matt/Daphne ... Daph would be her true self i.e. a thief, Ando would not care as long she pays for the strippers ... and Hiro would be pissed off because his BFF is dating his nemesis! made of awesome, really!
Matt: USE YOUR EFFING POWER! YOU ARE POTENTIALLY THE MOST POWERFUL OF ALL!!! and I mean the mind mojo thing, not Isaac's power (you fail as precog, anyway...)
Mohinder with Freddie Krueger shirt... LOL! But we all know he is pretty in pink. (or whatever color)
Hiro for once I agree with you: Give him his power back! so he can go back in time and correct this...
Peter, you egoist. But being Tracy, I forgive you. And you're actually being smart!!! Obviously were the powers that made you an idiot. If this volume led to FYG!Peter, I'll love it, I promise.
Breaking News!!! Claire has issues with her father(s)!!!... Yaaawn...
Sandra: "The house is empty without you"
Poor invisible, neglected Lyle. One of this days he will kill both his parents and his sister and join the "Sylar's school for young villains"
Angela: in the last episode she was conspiring with Nathan, today she is pissed at him because he went to the President. Do I miss something? Anyway, GIVE HER MORE SCREEN TIME!!!
The Hunter gave us the unnecessary remainder that Sylar & Claire are so alike that are doomed to be together in the end, I didn't need that, but thank you Danko! I bet he hates the *animals* because something happened in his past related to someone with powers...
And finally the mystery of mysteries! Who is "the Rebel"? (which apparently has the power to instantly messaging - Hana Gitelman anyone?). Do I care? No.
I would love him be Micah, but I know he will not be in this volume...
Poll
How many episodes before:
- Sylar kills the apprentice?
- Daphne resurrects/we find that she is not dead at all?
PLEASE: STOP QUOTING YOUR SELF, SHOW!
(if we start a drink game, we should be drunk in 5 minutes...)The first time is funny, the second amusing,the third is annoying. Brian Fuller is on twitter ... I'm really tempted to imploring him to close the authors in one room and force them to do a marathon of Heroes's past seasons before writing the next volume... if there will be one.
