The narrator says 'five people' like they're going to be the stars of the show and shows us: Claire, Peter, Mohinder, Isaac, and Hiro. But what about Niki or Micah? They had a lot of screen time in Genesis. And Mohinder doesn't have any abilities at all, so single out him
( ... )
I always ignored that to some degree, "five people." I thought they focused more on other characters (rightfully so!) at least in this seasons. I mean, Isaac? He's barely in this even though he orchestrated nearly everything. Hiro? Has a story line, I guess we can be glad and he does play a part. Mohinder….eh. Claire…she was there for a lot of things, but "Save the cheerleader" isn't what it was all about. I agree with you. They only say it once at the beginning so it's easy to ignore because it makes no sense.
Nathan pairs his…lies/acting poorly with his body language. I need to remember that. That is what happens when you learn/are trained to act/lie with your face and voice - the tension or 'guilt' leaks out into your body, the same with panic and nerves.
And here we have Claire's body being way more flimsy and breakable than it should be. I mean, if getting tackled would break a neck and twist it around like that, then half the guys in football would be dead. Or more than half. Also, Noah (or someone else) is creeping around, rifling through the contents of Claire's friends' backpacks. How many people did he/they investigate before finding the right one?
Do we ever find out the backstory of the red convertible? I'm thinking that might have been in a graphic novel or something. Maybe what she did in those four hours.
Peter's stick drawing. Which is not necessarily an indication that his drawing is bad. Angela lies badly here. And I don't think Peter buys it. At all. But he knows the choice is between a bizarre lie, or his mother lying to him very hurtfully. They both suck.
I always assumed the convertible was the Linderman's henchmens'. They get paid pretty well for collecting.
I like that Peter draws (or attempts to). No one else is around or listening, but he emotes all the same.
I agree that Peter isn’t…buying Angela's story. It’s more painful than it is shocking or difficult to accept and he seems more angry with her for her BS.
Here we have some graphic evidence of Sylar's habits in killing some of his early victims - in their house, in front of/near one another, pinning people to the wall. He was gruesome and varied enough that a body charred to the bone struck them as Sylar's thing
( ... )
I’ve always wanted to know why Peter, unhurt, after “jumping 25 ft. to a fire escape,” is in a hospital for…who knows how long, hooked up to an IV. I’m actually not complaining because I love this scene with Angela (and it always makes me think of the naughty Texts from Primatech version where Angela is pulling things out of her magic bag, saying, “And these are some expired condoms - use them on a girl who would make a good daughter-in-law.” http://40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrl0jvBR2R1r2nc3jo1_500.png... )
From the writer’s standpoint: what does lying and insulting Peter really serve except drama and establishing what kind of family he has?
I have no idea. I would have to really stretch to find a rationalization, which would boil down to 'she had a dream that said X that justifies how she acted'. An easier and more likely explanation is bad writing to create drama and establish her as a potential villain. She did end up being the worst villain of the season. Sylar was just a distraction.
I love the Texts! Those are great, especially Peter's expression in the second one!
Peter sounds and looks tired and sad. I like that he’s honest, “I can’t tell you right now, but I will.” His little lip-tremble at the end of the scene
( ... )
Sylar’s early kills, I would describe as: coming into his own; because I can; even some sick, 'this is fun!' muscle-flexing.
I agree. I don't think he has much in the way of moral justification for what he did, aside from, 'I have since decided that was a bad idea; I have matured; I do things differently now.' It's like a childhood phase.
