Heroes Ep: Thanksgiving
Today, I give thanks that I'm not a member of any of these families.
Is it just me, or was Peter being a little creepy watching Nathan-shaped Sylar sleep? It was the eyes that did it. Then again, it wasn't entirely a surprise either. I mean, aside from a couple of druggings and the odd coma, I don't think Peter's actually slept since volume 2.
Angela is lucky that both of her sons are so whipped. If she'd pulled that 'sit down to dinner or I'll leave and never speak to you again' ultimatum on me, I would've totally taken that deal. You mean you'll never plan for me to explode and die just so my brother can be president again? Or have me drugged and locked up anymore? Say it isn't so! However, I did think it was hilarious that not only did she show up with a fully prepared Thanksgiving dinner, but also an entire dining room set. I guess she did notice that Peter had no furniture when she was over to ignore him for breakfast that one time.
And now we know that Peter comes by his mad denial skillz honestly--he inherited them from his mother. At least Peter can be shaken out of his denial by enough reality. Angela seems to think reality is whatever she's ordered it to be.
When did Hiro become Rain Man? 'Charlie! Where are you, Charlie? I'm a very good driver. I love Charlie!' Etc., etc., etc. When Samuel's Haitian (Jamaican?) whammied Hiro, my first thought was OMG, not another amnesia plot followed by but maybe now I won't have to listen to him say "Charlie" every 5 seconds anymore.
Was anyone surprised that Samuel turned out to be Joseph's killer? ::peers out into LJ Land:: No, I didn't think so. The only thing in this episode that was creepier than Peter watching Nathan-shaped Sylar sleep was Samuel jerking off to watching film reels of himself causing earthquakes in utero. "You have the power to kill millions," says Joseph. "Cool beans I always knew I was missing out on something," replies Samuel. 'Cause he's normal like that and Joseph was clearly overreacting by trying to keep a lid on Samuel's inner sociopath.
P.S.--The carnies would be especially thankful if Samuel would just STFU for once so they can eat. That man sure does love to hear himself talk.
The Bennet family Thanksgiving managed to be both pointless and awkward. Claire wants to be respected as an adult while dropping out of school to wander Europe, or find herself, or something else that involves living off her father's money while having no actual responsibilities. Hey, Claire? I don't think you have a full grasp of what this adulthood thing you speak of actually entails.
And why was everyone jumping all over HRG for bringing a date? Sandra brought a date first. Even Mr. Muggles got to bring a date. Spending the holiday with Doug wasn't punishment enough? He was expected to do it alone, too?
The only person who didn't get to bring a date was Lyle, because apparently Lyle isn't allowed to attend family events. Do you ever get the feeling that some day in the future, HRG or Sandra is going to be looking through the family photo album and wondering who that blond boy in all the pictures is? Poor Lyle.
I'm greatly looking forward to next week's episode.
