Heroes (again)

So...



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! I love it, I love it so fucking much!!!

I absolutely love Peter and Sylar, and this just makes me happy. I am kinda glad that they are brothers. I want to know what happened that caused Angela and Dad Petrelli (does he have a name yet? If it is in ep five don't tell me) to give him up. And is he older than Nathan? Cause I am pretty sure that he is older than Peter.

But seriously? They have one fucked up family! Ma Petrelli and her insanity (and her dreams!! YAY her dreams!!!) Dad Petrelli, who is pretty insane to, even though the closest we have ever come to actually seeing him in action was one of the online comics they did in season one. (Do they still do that? I should go check) And what is his power!! I want/need to know. And Nathan is entirely creepy this season. I'm not sure that I understand what he thinks he is doing. I mean, he already tried this once, and it didn't work very well then, what makes him think it is going to work any better this time? God? And I'm not sure how I feel about that either. I can't decide if it is a cop out plot device, or if it is actually going to turn into something later on down the line...which is entirely possible. Then there is Peter, with his gaining power every time he turns around. And the hero complex the size of the earth. (and I'm sure that it would get better if he could figure out how to travel to other planents). And now he has Sylar's hunger to worry about. And then we added Claire into the mix (and kinda added Meredith and the Bennets), who can be a whiny little brat sometimes, but most teenagers are, I guess. But there is something special about her, and I am waiting to find out what it is. And Sylar got it from her, and I assume that Peter did too, and this leads to the question as to whether or not Adam is an ancestor of theirs somewhere in their family tree (or even more than once...wouldn't that be ironic). And now Sylar! And Peter! And Nathan, who doesn't know yet, and hasn't really talked to anyone except the ghost of Linderman and Terry (who really confused me at first! The Petrellis family keeps growing bigger...

And I LOVED the scene where Noah (I think it awesome that Gabriel named his kid after HRG!) called Peter "Uncle Peter" and Peter walks into the kitchen to domestic!Sylar and is all WTF. It made me laugh. And then it was sad! I really want to know more about future!Gabriel/Sylar and their relationship with Peter and Nathan. (I did notice that Gabriel was apparently wearing what looked like a White House apron, so I can only assume that he has some contact with Nathan.) And I also want to see more of Nathan's sons. I want them to have abilities. And I want to know if they are going to be as powerful as any of their relatives. Seriously, if they wanted to (well, correction, if they all wanted to, some of them already do), the Petrellis could take over the world very easily. With Sylar/Gabriel and Peter as the muscle, Nathan as the front man, Claire as more a gun, and Ma and Pa Petrelli as the brains? Who could stand against them? Especially if Nathan's sons have any sort of abilities.

And I wonder how many people dropped off the Peter/SylarGabriel ship when it was discovered that they were brothers? I definitely didn't, but in fic that doesn't really bother me all that much. Real life is another story. But I don't think it makes all that much of a difference. They grew up without even knowing about each other, and they aren't going to have biological children, so that aspect of things doesn't come into play. I just don't know.

There are so many things that I want to know right now! This is why I have the habit of not watching shows until a full season is out, because cliff hangers (except season finales) don't matter. But I saw a commercial for what I think was 3x05 and they were talking about how Pa Petrelli had been part of events since the beginning and was the father of three heroes and I was like OMG THAT WAS SYLAR WITH NATHAN AND PETER!!! (this is true facts, you can ask my friend Sarah at work, we were in the break room when I saw it the first time) and I had to know how that had happened. And now I am trying to get the fifth ep either downloaded or watch it on NBC.com but that wasn't working very well when I was trying earlier.

Okay, so now that I have ranted about the Petrellis, I am going to talk about the other heroes. Mohinder is being weird. I liked him in the first season, but he has kinda gone insane. He is on a very slippery slope, and I don't know if he is going to be able to get off again. Though I think that is part of the point of this season. Villains are turning into the good guys, and the good guys are turning into the bad guys. In various shades and forms. Sylar with the company, Peter with the Hunger, Hiro kinda causing the beginning of the end of the world, Clair is on the verge of going postal, I can tell. Nathan, who has always been an ambiguous character sliding into an apparently divine role, Bennett is plotting the murder of Sylar (though he has reason to fear/hate him). Jessica/Nikki is dead but Tracy is very much alive and well. And I was confused. They talked about triplet sisters, but I didn't think that they had said Nikki. So, is there another one out there or did I just hear wrong and Nikki is a shortened version of whatever name they did say. And very little Mioah so far. It makes me sad. And practically no Molly, which is also sad. I still think that they need to grow up together. I'm not sure that I like the Hiro/Ando storyline so far. It might change and get better, but it just seems a little...forced, maybe. Like they are looking for more drama in that plot.

And I really, really, really, want to know if Peter can ever get the Haitians power. You would think that it would be possible. Because there is going to be a point when the Haitian is either unconcious or has turned his power off (which, he can do, right?) and Peter is there, and gets it. But at the same time, that would make Peter practically invulnerable. Does it null out all powers, or just mental ones? I think that it probably does physical ones as well, because he nulled future!peter's healing abiblity so Claire could kill him.

Okay, enough what ifs and meta...

This is Rob's official Heroes prediction:

Adam is an ancestor of every single Hero we have come across. Except maybe the "made" ones. Though I don't really know what that means yet, if anyone does. And if he isn't related to everyone, then he is almost definitely in the family tree of the Petrellis. Probably on Angela's side. Though if Pa Petrelli turns out worse, that is a possiblity as well. Or maybe it is both sides, and that is why this particular group of siblings (and granddaughter) are so powerful. Though Nathan is as of yet somewhat at odds with the powers of the rest of his family.
