Heroic Returns, part 2
OMG, the narrator introduction for episode 2 sucks. Really badly.
Nathan, to Peter as he wakes up: "Whoa. Easy, buddy." Also, Nathan says the building was 15 stories. I think I've alternately called it thirteen and thirty. Thirty stories might have been the building Claude threw him off.
Zach would have been so much better gay. But then again, Heroes would have done better to be just a little more 'out there' on the social issues. Confront stuff. Be controversial.
The Micah, Niki, and DL/Linderman plotline took up a lot of screen time in these first episodes to basically vanish after S1. At least Micah stuck around. He's even in Reborn.
I think a message for Nikki from Jessica is that when she opens the storage locker/garage and finds all the online sex stuff put away, bed and mattress stacked up, is that she doesn't have to sell herself like that anymore. Jessica's going to take care of her from now on.
Angela brought Peter brand-new clothes in the hospital. They still have tags on them. She holds them up to his chest to see if they fit. Angela telling Peter they kept Arthur's 'depression' from Peter because Peter was so 'sensitive'. Peter: "But you're telling me now?" Right now, you know, after I jumped off a building trying to fly, huh? This is the time you want to share this stuff, while I'm vulnerable and confused and Nathan is trying to tell me I jumped and hit a fire escape? - Poor Peter. The people he turns to the most, the ones he tries to trust, just keep betraying him.
Here in this episode, we see two missing brains - that of Isaac five weeks in the future on election day, seen by Hiro; and the other in the Walker household, in Molly's father.
I think that's ZQ's voice on the answering machine. He sounds very ... calm. And distant. Or perhaps dissociated.
It's hard to watch these with the kind of attention they deserve. I think this will be my toughest resolution to stick with this year.
Nathan, to Peter who is standing on the edge of the hospital roof: "Look, we've been through this before. We've played this game, okay? Let's just - let's just go." Then Peter wrangles a confession out of Nathan by threatening to jump. But what I get out of that is the 'we've played this game, okay?' bit - Peter has threatened to kill or sabotage himself before? Or threatened to throw a wrench into Nathan's plans? Nathan doesn't seem too upset about it, but he's definitely sweating with nerves like he totally believes Peter will do it. Interesting.
Well, that's the ep.
