4.03 "Ink" quickie thoughts
I actually just sat there and watched this episode, which is rare. However, I did tweet, so here are some, with explanation:
STILL NO GODDAMN MOHINDER. I call bullshit. Is he just GONE? What's the deal here?
Heroes: you just gotta let it flow through you.
Relaxing. Seriously. That is the way. It helps to have a Zen television mind, one that will simply watch and let a story be told. I know that's asking a lot; most of the time I can't do it, either.
@DetMattParkman The burrito line made me giggle. You do look awful cute in a pair of sunglasses, tho.
Grunberg looked all kinds of good busting into the supposed drug dealer's house. It was the camera angle. ;)
@DetMattParkman Oh, damn, homie, that's so unfortunate.
Poor Parkman. That guy has it rough. With Sylar riding him, he's on a hair-trigger of rage and worse fear; he's a rabid, cornered dog, and woe betide anybody who gets in his way. Could be him pitching "Nathan's" body into a shallow grave as we saw in the preview for next week. I reserve judgement as to what the hell is going on; I'll just tune in next week, and if anybody's house needs to be burned down, I'll know then. Excellent work by Grunberg and Quinto though; I enjoy their FIGHT CLUB-esque interactions - but that trick that Head!Sylar pulled was just some low shit. But don't take Nathan back without ... y'know, getting Nathan back. I'd rather he put a bullet in his head than do that. I love Parkman, but Nathan >>>> Parkman. Just how it is.
oh Heroes; you never make it easy on yourself. But nobody's ever going to say you don't take chances. But I love the chances you take.
Because seriously? A deaf character? You think viewers are going to have the patience for a deaf character when they're annoyed with subtitles in general? And yet, HOW AWESOME. I love sign language, and so far, the character (and the actress) is working for me. And since Peter is obviously going to be giving her penis-in-vagina sign language soon enough, that's important. Because also, Oh, Peter Petrelli, never change. Keep being that wide-eyed, utterly emotionally gullible fool, keep listening to people, keep trusting people, keep feeling what they feel. Sure, he saw visual proof that he'd gotten Samuel out of the bus accident, and that fucked him up, but... aw, honey. Aw.
I can't believe that last night's Mad Men episode didn't immediately make me think of a #Heroes crossover
Because seriously! Eclipse! So what would be the Mad Men's abilities? Don Draper would obviously have to be a telepath so he could mess with people's minds - oh no, a shapeshifter!! - Betty would... hmm, I guess she'd be an ice queen like Tracy. Pete Campbell would be a speedster, Peggy would have super-strength... Hell, I could spend hours on this.
And though I didn't tweet about it - Claire, what up? I know she must have an end game; whatever it is kinda spooks me, because she cozied up to Gretchen REALLY fast. And I've seen Hayden Panettiere around girls; I am seeing no sex attraction between them, and I think Hayden's more than skillful enough to be able to fake it if the role calls for it. She's actually portraying "faking faking it", which is a whole layer of complexity that most actors can't quite convincingly do. Or else the storyline's ridiculous, in which case, I'm just high.
Also, that yellow stuff was probably aloo gobi. Give it a chance, yokel. Wish I got to eat Indian food with Noah Bennet. And now just like that I have a new kink.
That was probably the corniest 60 seconds of Heroes ever, and yet, lovely. Am I going to start listening to Celine Dion? Eek. I'm a sucker.
Seriously. SERIOUSLY. If I wasn't the person I am, that'd be the point where I'd turn off the show and be like, "fuck THIS Hallmark Channel shit"... but I listened to the music (hearts to Wendy & Lisa) and goggled at the pretty stuff and... y'know, when we said I loved that the show appealed to a female audience, that wasn't what I was talking about. I meant the hot, often shirtless guys, the family insanity, the hurt/comfort dance that is Nathan/Peter and Mohinder/Sylar, the daddy kink of Bennet, the sassy outfits and bad hair days of Claire. Not "sparkly fairy dances". And yet - who the hell am I kidding? Zen mind. Zen mind. I wouldn't have cringed as much if I didn't secretly think it was pretty and cool. Ugh. Damn you, Bryan Fuller! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
I very much look forward to seeing it again - preferably without that humiliating Sprint ad they put my baby Parky into. He's making the big buckolas, but I'm sure he'd be happier inflicting some blade-weapon mastery on somebody. On wires. *sigh* A girl can dream.
