I need a Hero(es)!
I've been holding out for this week's episode of Heroes till tonight, because Monday's choir night and Tuesday Mr. Tater was watching the debate. Man, was it worth the wait! The season premiere didn't have me convinced that this was going to continue to be one of my favorite shows, but thankfully, the most recent two episodes weren't as lame as I feared. Not nearly. I always did have a thing for the bad guys, and since "Villains" is the name of the game...
eido, I am totally counting on you to share some squeeage with me, since we tend to be in agreement about so much. ;)
As I said, the the first episode(s) of season three weren't really doing it for me. Then last week I remembered that I'm in lurve with the duplicitous Noah Bennett. Partnering him up with Sylar was a freaking brilliant idea; Noah's at his absolute best when he needs someone he wants to kill. And now that Sylar's un-killable? Well, if anyone can figure out how to do it, it's Noah. And if he doesn't, he'll at least die an awesome death trying...
But let's rewind to this business about Sylar being partnered up with Noah. How is it that I've never noticed before that Sylar is hot? I think it was the suit. Or maybe the Primatech prison jammies and wife beater, lol. And then throw in the facts that now there's a hint of vulnerability in Sylar, that it's occurred to him that he can possibly control his hunger, and that he's a Petrelli, too...But mostly the suit. And the glasses. (How the heck am I supposed to cope with two ruthless, conflicted, sexy, horn rim bespectacled characters?)
But as if all those weren't enough to cement for me that I'd totally cheat on Noah with Sylar, future!Sylar gets himself under control and becomes hoodie-wearing, stay-at-home daddy to an adorable child, and he makes WAFFLES?? Guh. I am so excited about this storyline, with the conflict of Sylar overcoming the hunger (although I hope he doesn't overcome it too much, because I do love me some evil!brain-eating!Sylar), and bonding with Noah in such a way that he names his kid for him.
BUT WHO IS SYLAR'S BABY MOMMA?! IS IT ME?!?!
Since he lives forever, Sylar can totally survive being a human nuke, can't he?
Other random observations about 3.4, not pertaining to Sylar:
- Adam's back! I saw David Anders' name in the opening credits and squeed and then proceeded to die all episode waiting for him to turn up. Except for when I was distracted by daddy!Sylar. (Okay, so maybe still pertaining to Sylar, just a little bit. ;))
- I love future!Matt getting busy with Daphne! (I'm detecting a theme here, of me getting squeeful over the plots that involve procreation...) They are so adorable together, Daphne's so petite and perky and Tonks-like (though obviously not tripping over her own two feet as she zips all over the world like the Roadrunner, minus the whole mee-meep-zip-bang!), and Matt's so burly and manly, and she's a thief and he's a cop... Even though that hint of Matt/Mohinder at the start of season 2 was the first slash pairing that ever made me think I could possibly get into that. Heh. But seriously, even though we haven't known Daphne that long, I felt gutted when future!Daphne apparently got blown up by nuclear!Sylar, was elated when she showed up back home, and then was gutted again when they showed her nuked back and she died in Matt's arms. That look on her face when she said, "I wasn't fast enough." Guh. I hope they can stop the future! EXCEPT THAT I WANT SYLAR TO BE A DADDY AND MAKE WAFFLES, SO DON'T CHANGE THAT PART!
- Hooray for some incarnation of Nikki being around to sleep with Nathan, lol. (But damn -- I'd called Tracy/Nikki/The Other One being clones, not identical triplets. Not that identical triplets aren't technically clones; I mean test tube clones.) I was so disappointed in season 1 when Nikki and Nathan were both married and had to be with their totally boring spouses instead of with each other, when they had such sizzling chemistry.
- Can't you tell the writers are kicking themselves for making Peter Claire's uncle? The UST is hotter than ever. Especially when she's beating the crap out of him.
- SYLAR IN AN APRON MAKING WAFFLES FOR HIS KID!
- I think I love this show because even though the acting mostly sucks and the writing is unpredictable, the characters are awesome. Especially Sylar.
I'm starting to embarrass myself, so I'll shut up now. But I'll leave with a question: how long will they keep us waiting to know who future!Sylar has a baby with?? Knowing my luck, it'll be another of Angela Petrelli's offspring.
