Heroes 2x04 The Kindness of Strangers

First off, something completely unrelated! fan_eunice has made a fun and bouncy and happy Martha vid! I, um, haven't actually seen Dr. Who, but it is cute and bouncy and my feedback is mostly: "Martha! So pretty! Want her jacket!" Also, I love the ending of the vid.

I totally love that Micah's grandma is Nichelle Nichols (i.e., Lt. Uhura from Star Trek TOS -- I guess George Takei was not enough Star Trek influence, huh?) ^_~

I am not happy about the Claire arc either. Something about 'fly-boy' just seems smarmy -- and she doesn't have a good track record with men (e.g. that jerk that tried to rape her in the 1st season.)

Yes! I didn't watch ST, but I knew from the casting spoilers! It's too bad Kaito's dead, because the two of them should meet.

I really really really dislike West. Er, if you couldn't already tell ;).

Yeah -- and from Issac's paintings, it looks like stalker fly boy is the one who is going to kill Noah. 8^( Boo! 8^(

Also? The fact that he's teaching her to lie to her dad with a straight face ought to be giving Claire warning signs.

Of course, she's a teenager, she can barely hear what he's saying past the hormones rushing through her blood ...

The thing that really bugs me is that prior to the flying scene, Claire never really showed interest in West. I read her as wanting to prove him wrong, but mostly she seemed annoyed by his constant needling.

I'm pretty sure Nichelle Nichols is Micah's aunt, or great aunt, not his grandmother. Seems to me we saw his grandma early in S1, played by a different actor.

But yes, much love for Nichelle Nichols in general!

Ah... Oops! *embarassed* You are probably right! (But I adore her all the same) ^_^

I am so utterly bummed that George Takei's character is dead. 8^( I really love watching him. (I had the honor of meeting him some years back. He was a guest speaker at an Asian leadership conference -- and since my good friend was the event organizer, I got to meet him and talk to him before the event began. He's such an intelligent, thoughtful gentleman... and he's got a great sense of humor. Meeting him made me even a bigger fan of his!)

I loved Takei's work on Heroes, too. I hope he'll return in flashbacks at least. Very cool that you got to meet him!
