Warnings: Contains Opinions, slash-tinted glasses, musings, and pictures. Because pictures are fun ^.~
Recap:
-> Mohinder and Eden breaking and entering into Sylar's lair. The fact Mohinder took a picture of Sylar's bed still amuses me, I'm sorry.
-> Linderman has infiltrated the cops
-> Snogging between Peter/Simone while Isaac spies via sketchpad
-> Ando goes with Hiro to the States
-> Quarterback tries to rape Claire and accidentally kills her while they're both drunk.
-> Matt freaks out in front of the Haitian's blankess and faints in some random bar. He was trying to forget his marital troubles you see... I think I sense an alcohol-is-not-to-be-trusted theme. Simone also slept with Peter after breaking up with Isaac, possibly because of a bit of champaign at Nathan's party.
Mohinder's philosophizing at the beginning covers: Why them? Why now? Why? Why?
Episode 4: Collision
Helloooooooo Horned-rim-glasses (HRG) AKA Noah... Be very afraid Matt. You've been drugged. Maybe violated, but we won't mention that one. HRG isn't government. He has no agency initials... acronyms. Whatever.
--->HRG: Clean him out. Okay, so drugged, kidnapped, and mind-raped. My bad.
Oh, and the end of the scene is tinged with blue. Reminds me of Firefly's 'Two by two, men of blue' Or was it hands of blue? Can't remember.
Moving on.
I'm sorry Hiro, your princess is a casino-lover.
Hiro has absolutely no clue how crazy he sounds. "You will die in five weeks, and then New York will explode" is not something you just say. Ando will teach him anyway.
Hiro also right by Niki while going after Ando, without a glance, so he must be queer XD
I love the Asian chick. She has not been corrupted by the llammings. Also wants Niki to sleep with a politician from NY as an insurance policy. Wonder who that could be. Hammer. Oh, and Niki says she's not a whore.
Dead!cough!Claire was found naked in a creek at 4 in the morning. Base of skull punctured by broken tree branch. Claire is mildly freaked out by her opened chest, but puts herself back together by aligning the skin and then high-tails it in a fluffy while robe. Mortician has a flashback of a Zombies movie she saw last night.
Episode flashes from alone!Isaac, to naked!Peter and Simone, to Ando and Hiro standing sidebyside... with a lovesong in background. and people wonder. Seriously.
And apparently Claire wandered from the morgue to her house in a bathrobe during the early hours of the morning. I know she's a regenerate, but you'd think waking up in a morgue would make her a little more cautious. You'd think someone would notice a pretty young girl naked under a bathrobe though. TV Texans yield to reality-holes I guess.
Conversation between Nathan and a minion: Hold for the dice and hold off getting in bed with Linderman.
Nathan: I can handle Linderman. (I'm sure you cannnn). He may have owned my father (kinky!) but he doesn't own me. (Yet).
Mohinder tries to warn Nathan about Sylar, gets manhandled:
and dismissed as a crazy. Ouch. Digs deeper hole by asking about powers. But Nathan won't fess up, though he does wonder how Mohinder knows.
Oh, Mohinder is shown next to a guy who hears voices in his head (but isn't a Hero like Matt, we think).
Nathan goes to Vegas.
Video uses special effects budget to go to Simone/Peter pillow talk. Are we supposed to be impressed with their sex-having?
Nathan ASSUMEs that Peter sent Mohinder (only introduced as Dr Suresh), hands him the book, and gives Peter a surprised you-got-laid? look. Nathan tries to fund Peter's inquiries in return for not bringing the flying thing to attention. Peter refuses of course. Also a door-in-the-face-to-you-asshole vibe.
Peter "What if he can paint the future?" Yes, because she seemed to like the idea so much she ran from Isaac into your arm. Simone used Peter for a shag.
HRG goes paternal... "Were you out all night... with the quarterback."
Thoguh his blink after is either a prayer for patience or a mental image.
HRG: ... you better still be a virgin or I will HUNT HIM DOWN AND EAT HIM... I mean I'll lecture you later for staying up all night.
Claire is sad.. and I want to hug her.
hmm... they're putting names with the subtitle intro location now... make sure we don't forget who's who? Or them?
Anyway, Eden is cheeky about Mohinder making a crazy person of himself (remember the voices guy that walked past at the end of the limo scene? just in case we didn't get it). And that box openned WAY TOO EASILY, or that's a very sharp knife. Do you know how much trouble I have opening taped boxes? THAT WOULD NOT SURVIVE THE CANADIAN POSTAL SERVICE (I was told by
tinheart that this applies to the American Post too). Chandra Suresh's ashes come in cheap-looking urn-thing.
His body was misfiled... Ouch. damn that morgue ( They listed it as a dead rape vicim from Texas. They lost that one too-
tinheart). Mohinder has Doubts and Insecurities and wants to go home.
Except destiny knocks on the door in the form of Peter. And we all know what Destiny means in the Heroes-verse.
Mohinder is struck by Peter's bang-motion (or ability). Equivalent of girl-y hair toss? (better cap later ^.~)
Ando bets all their money... Hiro makes a 'my love has a case of stupid' face.
And gets his hand smacked by casino girl when he tries to remove the chips and salvage the situation.
Ando's just trying to support you Hiro, he's just male. So, in the interest of not starving or running out of gas, Hiro comprises his principles and cheats. And then confesses because he's a cutie and he took Peter Parker's dad/fatherly type very seriously. And Kaito prolly didn't approve of cheaters either.
Ando thinks this is the best thing since the shinkansen of course, and tries to convince Hiro.
Niki's friend is so useless... ermm... something. Tearing people apart with Jessica. and Niki turns down game night. Dastardly. Friend's name is Tina. She reads romance novels and talks about beautox procedures... See. I guess she can baby-sit though.
Micah knooooooooooooooows... He knows the internet is for Porn money-making... things...
Mohinder and Eden wonder about Peter. I don't blame them, we all wonder about Peter.
And then we find out that he's an ability sponge. And is so into Mohinder *cough* Do things indeed.
Mohinder turns the crazy around, thinking Peter's adorable.
I'll bring you over to Isaac's... complicated indeed. I slept with her the day they broke up.
Simone likes the precog paintings. And Isaac spies through drawings. And likes drawing Peter... Hmmm.... sound effects are the bomb. >.>
"which part was an accident? the rape or the murder?" < - This is why I love Zach.
Claire: "I'm not a harddrive." Aren't you?
~it's all coming back to me now~
Oh, and other raped girl gets a look-over from Claire.
Ando and Hiro have perfected the gambling cheatage. Guy with hat "they're better cheaters then I am."
The asian chick's name is Nakamoto. Nathan's meeting her at 11am... Linderman the port-a-poty, spying on you everywhere.
Celine Dion tickets while flirting with Nathan! Niki you hurt me, you really do.
Sexual tension between Mohinder and Peter is higher than Niki and Nathan.
I mean Peter licks his lips. Peter and Mohinder have a moment, incurred by bangs.
The head-duck to make bangs fall.
And the Flip
Mohinder gets into the cockroach thing. Again. Without explicitly stating so. Wonder if Chandra and Mr. Petrelli had a thing... the "cheap knock-offs of our fathers." gives me suspicions.
Isaac paints Claire running from the Shadowfigure
Claire talks to Laurie the raped chick. Broody Mitchell? No wonder he attacks girls.
Claire gets Ideas.
Ando tries to convince Hiro they're doing something good.
And they get kicked out. and fall down stairs. Hiro has a conscious. Ando is an idiot. And gets Hiro sucker-punched. He gets punched a lot. Must be the innocent face? Or the geek-vibe? Men are ridiculous.
Nathan talks about flying, and marital things... DL is brought up. and Micah. and Nathan's two boys. And a wife. And Niki understands Nakamoto's inferences to blackmail better. "Great time?" at Celine Dion? Dear gods. Niki walks away with a conscience, sees Jessica.
Then she gets threatened. And Jessica happens. Without a mirror to switch... "our son", truly, do not threaten the boy.
Jessica and Nathan have sex for the camera. Nakamoto+Linderman voyeurssssssssss. Mostly Nakamoto perhaps? I think Nathan felt needy after seeing Peter got laid. And she is hot. Helix mark on Niki's shoulder to match the Haitian's necklace.
OMG THE SIGN BEHIND MOHINDER'S HEAD!!
Oh and Mohinder talks in Peter's space.
And time stops. Literally.
Isaac sees the ring of paintings from the not-too-distant future.
I think Claire may sleep in that uniform. And of course he drives a stick! Laurie Trammel (sp?) and Claire a slut.. Yeah, right. Over her dead body.
Both of you remember. Ideas take fruit.
HRG and the haitian look at Nathan and Niki sleeping. "Take the one"
Future!hiro appears with sword and good english. And A message. But we are so distracted by Peter's bangs that we just end the episode.
