Why I Love Mr. Quinto, Part II
Ok, time for a Heroes post. I keep forgetting that it's on at 8 now, so I thought it woud be 10 when it was over and I wouldn't have time to spazz about it, lol. Lucky for you guys, I can't tell time. XD
Ok, I am kind of loving this season. Not because it's especially compelling or mysterious, but because it's HILARIOUS. I don't know how all these extras (Matt's "NA" group, the other detective, the drug dealer...) can keep a straight face while filming these scenes with Zachary Quinto. He is making me laugh so hard that I miss the thread of the plot. XDD Harrassing Matt during the NA meeting (which is funny in itself, Matt being "addicted" to his power and calling it "using" lawl) was priceless, and then this episode he's doing funny voices and making stuffed bunnies talk and saying he always thought he'd be a great cop?? SRSLY SYLAR, STOP BEING SO FUNNY. XDDD This really makes me want to see ZQ cast in a comedy, because he is so great at it. I mean, he's had some amazing one-liners as Sylar before that have made me chuckle, but now he's KILLING me. Pun not intended. XDD
Ok ok, anywho, besides ZQ...I shall discuss in list format, I think it might be quicker.
* HRG: I like that he's totally out of his element now without a wife and family. Poor guy burns his frozen pizza in a toaster oven and eats cereal for dinner! And I'd still do him. :P I find it interesting that Angela is depending on him to get Nathan and the Company in line, and HRG is all "whateva bitch, leave me to my cereal. Besides I gotta go try to make Claire hate me again CYA." It's cool that he has the Haitain on speed-dial in case Claire fucks up, which she always does. But letting her handle it on her own was not a smart idea, man. Which brings me to Claire.
* Claire: Let me first say that Heroes's version of college is just as LOL as its version of high school. XDD Dorm rooms are just not that big, ok? Me and my college roomie were tripping over each other between two beds, two desks, and two dressers in an itty bitty room. Claire has enough room to teach a yoga class for about 20 people in there! I guess I shoulda gone where ever she went. XD Anyway, I knew Claire was going to cave and tell Gretchen all about her power. Because that is what Claire does. Despite seeing every season what being reckless with powers leads to, she continues to do it. In an attempt to "be herself" or some shit. Girl, that doesn't mean tell the first girl you meet your every secret! Gretchen is going to turn on her in a few episodes, I guarantee it. Hell, she's probably part of the Carny Family, planted in college with Normal People to peer pressure Claire into dropping out of school and joining the circus. I'm sorry, the Carnival. As a side note, her short hair is very cute, I approve.
* Carnies: I am digging Samuel big time. He is pimpin, in snazzy suits AND dirty shit. The man is just nice to look at. I'm not too sure what his motives are, besides bringing "the family" together and replacing people who die (lol, real nice). But I like where it is going. We know next to nothing about him and I really felt for him tonight when that Uppity Bitch wouldn't let him into his old house. Also, I'm curious as to how his powers work. Is he telekinetic? I thought he could only control dirt, but then he did cool shit with the ink and I'm confused. Maybe it's some kind of organic ink made of mud? lol, I dunno. I had thought that Lydia The Tattooed Lady controlled the ink...I'm not sure what her power is now. If HE controls the ink, why is SHE the one who knows who's going to show up as a tattoo? It's mad cool, I want to know more. I like how these Carnies do business. They have a problem, they send DARTH FREAKIN MAUL. BTW how funny is it that this show had to cast a guy like Ray Park to have a decent fight scene?? The high-speed knife fight between him and Peter last episode was AWESOME. Also I like how his speed looks different from Daphne's last season. She only looked fast when she was running, and all of Darth's movements were a blur! It's pretty sweet. An Idea: why was the compass so important to get back? Based on how it spun for Peter but not HRG, maybe it detects Supers? Interesting.
* Peter: I love how HRG told Peter how bad it is to live alone and all that, when their lifestyles are identical, right down to the same mustard in their fridge. XDD But really, the Spiderman life looks good on Peter. I really like him this season, and I haven't really been feelin' his character since season 1. Being a paramedic is very cute, BTW. And how he's so obsessed with saving everyone? This all feels very "Peter" to me. I wonder how Samuel is going to try to lead him to the Carnies? I love how he gave him a matching spinning compass tattoo, lol. Awesome. BTW, what powers does Peter have this season? I haven't bought s3 on dvd yet, and I forget how he ended the season. It seems like he can only have one at a time now...but I thought he had to touch someone to get it? I don't think he touched Darth Maul when he got the speed. Maybe his old power of just soaking it up is back...but he can still only have one? I dunnoooo. On a side note: Milo's acting is not so atrocious this time around! He seems very natural to me. Maybe they are letting him ad-lib a little more or something. For example, when HRG asked if he had Darth's power and he went "I got it, I got it" and when the compass spun in his hand and he went "Oh, hello!" I dunno, I just like how he's delivering lines this season. Let's keep it up Milo.
* Deaf Girl: I didn't catch her name, but maybe they said it? I definitely like her. I love how she's kind of embracing her power, even if she doesn't understand it. The scene with the cello was very beautiful and well done. The sound-light effects are really nice to watch. Peter suspects that she's deaf, I think, and that something is up. I hope that doesn't lead to a romance, because I really like her and sex with Peter has a 100% mortality rate. Just stay away, girl.
* Tracy: Speaking of romance, I am all for Tracy hooking up with HRG. I like that he's still hung up on Mrs. HRG (I'm blanking on her name right now, lol) because usually on this show, once a relationship is over you forget all about them, lol. It makes him very real, also Jack Coleman is an amazing actor and pulls the unhappiness and guilt off really well. I kinda liked Tracy killing people, actually. I don't want her to go back to her old life of Boring Politics. She should join the Company as HRG's partner, "one of us one of them". Although I very much miss Jessica and her ruthlessness and unpredictability, Tracy is much more interesting than Nikki. And she can't be killed now, apparently, which is awesome.
* Hiro: Why do they tell us that he has a terminal illness and not say WHAT it is?? Is it caused by his power? Is it something he always had?? Can Dr. Suresh cure it??? These are the things you should be asking, Hiro, not "how can I fix stupid little things in the past without changing anything in the future?" I am Not Pleased. Maybe he and Ando will have more Excellent Adventures through time, which I would love to see. And Samuel will be back to recruit him into the Carnies. I'm interested to see how it plays out, but if Hiro is dead by the end of the season, I might just stop watching...ok, I probably won't, but I'll be very pissed. :(((
* Nathan/Sylar: Let's call him "Nylar." Sounds like a ship, lol. Oh Adrian Pasdar, you are amazing. He's a very good confused Nathan. I was waiting for him to try to fly and realize he can't (Sylar didn't take his power, as far as I know, he just killed him), but the unconscious telekinesis and bursts of Elle-lightening are just as good. Next week's episode looks promising, with him remembering memories that aren't his...I'm hoping for some cool Sylar flashbacks we've never seen before!
* Matt: This is where the meat of the season is right now. Poor Matt! Why is he hallucinating? Sylar seems to really BE in his head! Making him see a dead girl and a ransom note? That shit's no joke. Will Matt "fix" Nylar back to Nathan like Angela asked, or will he release Sylar to get him out of his head?? Hopefully the latter, because then ZQ will be back For Realsies. Sylar, in any form, remains the most interesting thing about the show. Not just because he's hot...although that doesn't hurt. XD
* Mohinder: ...where are you, Mo? I miss you! I thought it was going to be him who rescued HRG from the car last episode! I am sad. I get that with this many characters, they can't all be in every episode. S1 pulled this off brilliantly. But it's been 2 (technically 3) episodes now, and no sign of Mo. I actually forget what happened to him at the end of last season, LOL. I need to at least watch the finale again, because I am confused, lol.
HOLY CRAP that was long. I obviously must ramble about Heroes once a week so that my entries aren't enormous. XDD
I need to go make my lunch for tomorrow and go to bed. I miss sleeping in until noon.
