In which she attempts to keep her brain from overloading...
So I got my regularly scheduled evaluation at work today (we go in six month intervals between). After all was said and done, it turns out that I'm getting a highly decent pay raise. From $9.50/hour to $11.75/hour. That's a whole two dollars and twenty-five cents. Forty times a week. Plus Sunday pay and the occasional overtime.
Life is goooood right now. In other news...
...'Heroes', you keel me. KEEL me! So many moments tonight.
Kinda random thought here, but this is probably one of my favorite title placements we've gotten so far. It just clicked. Like magic.
Is it just me, or, (for a person who just saw himself die), is Hiro a little bit too cheery?
Okay, I'll admit that when they killed off Isaac, the thing that tore me up the most about it was how we won't get to hear Hiro butcher his name any more. So how happy was I when the words 'MYSTERY SOCK' came out of my speakers? Happier than I was when people began to refer to him as Mr. Eat-sack. (ION, very happy.)
Aww, I miss the Petrelli family! Monty and Simon are too cute to just be background-info. I'm also glad to see Heidi again. I guess she'd had enough of Jack Bauer.
HEIDI: Anything interesting happen while we were gone?
NATHAN: Well, uh, my daughter showed up. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SWEETIE!
Top points go to those kids who automatically recognized that Claire's coat is the same one Sylar is wearing in the unpublished issue of '9th Wonders'. W00T!
Not-so-subtle foreshadowing is quickly interrupted by SO MUCH PAIRE IT'S HARD TO BREATHE. What is it with these Petrelli's getting the hots for members of their own family anyway? I guess it also doesn't help that the way Peter asks "Who the hell is Ted?" sounds like he's being jealous.
Okay seriously, this is for all you people who live in colder climate areas that actually see snow: How awesome would it be if you knew a guy that could "warm up" your car in like, a minute? Very awesome, is my guess. And dear God, Matt, button up your shirt! Your face may be cute, round, and highly squishable, but that is not the case with your pube-like chest hairs. (My virgin eyes!)
OMG, did HRG just call him "Teddy"? *dies* (And what the hell, guys; the dude gets a car started for you by being a walking jumper battery and the best way you can think of to thank him is by making him sit in the back seat? Bad form.)
I don't know how, but Sylar's white eyes look akuhbajillion times better than Mystery Sock's and/or Peter's. Not to mention he's got that cool focus effect going on. And, just for the record, I think it needs to be stated that first-person internal narration/mental soliloquy is the best thing ever. And completely in-character for Sylar.
But let's hear it for MYLAR! It's so cute that after all they've done to each other, the first person Sylar thinks about calling (before his own flesh and blood, mind you) is Mohinder. And even though he should totally hang-up on the guy who killed his father, pinned him to the ceiling, and committed a wide variety of obscene totally non-con "acts" on him, Mohinder is all like: "That's cool. As long as you're sorry we'll always be BFFs. Omg, wanna come over and paint each others toenails?" Swear to God, this ship will never die. At least not for another five years, and even then, who knows.
Speaking of/to Mohinder: I'm totally digging the stubble. And sideburns. The leather, too. More please?
Jessica, wtf, you hair? Seriously, grey all of a sudden? Do we chalk this up to continuity issues or possibly-important-plot-point-that-will-never-be-explained?
I think it's safe to assume that the scene where the show's resident technopath plays video games was written by Captain Obvious. Although I'm glad that after all this time, Micah finally got a good line. Because having the knowledge that Linderman smells funny makes life so much more amusing!
Holy crap, Mohinder is a demand making machine! Yes, blackmail does work! (On a side note: *points to paintings in background of Kirby Plaza* HELIX ALERT!)
Yay, it's about time they brought the whole Shanti storyline back! 'Bout time we get more Suresh family background. And aww, Molly is cute! *squees*
Okay, who else almost peed in their pants as Hiro and Ando were getting ready to walk in on the new tenant in Mystery Sock's apartment? Anyone? Bueller?
O______________O.
Dear Tim Kring, please have future episodes include more footage of Sylar in the bathroom. Preferably in the shower. All steamy and whatnot. I mean, GUH.
Love, Every fangirl in the universe
And now every time I hear a toilet flush I'll thinks it's a bomb. Brilliant, guys. Just brilliant. But omg, look! It's Gabe Clark Kent nerdy!Sylar! And his sweater is a little too small. Isn't that cute?
Really now? Gabriel walking down the street all like "What the... who?" because Hiro and Ando are following him? Not even acting. I think all they did was have cameras follow Zach Quinto all over town trying to avoid the fangirls. 'Cause I'd be all over that. (You would, too. Admit it.)
*squeal* Aww, little Niki and Jessica! Before they stripped/carried out hits!
Alright, Mohinder and Molly (Mollinder!) are my new sex-free OTP. They're just so cute together! He brings in his little tray (which at first I hoped was a tea set; only this time it wouldn't be poisoned), and she's all "You suck as a doctor, but you're kinda cute, so I guess it's okay"...
OMG, "HE EATS YOUR BRAIN". *flails* Man, they really keep "feeding" this theory, (honestly, no pun intended much). We were right all along!
And damn, that little Molly is hardcore. All the while he's taking her blood, she's just chatting away, and looking at the friggin' needle sticking into her arm and sucking out her life juice, while when I have to get blood drawn it turns into an hours long ordeal where no blood is drawn and I end up passed out in a chair for half an hour. Bitch.
Sorry to disappoint you, Peter. But you always were, and always will be "the bomb". At least in my book. :] And dude, Nathan, whatever the hell that shrug was that you gave when she asked if you could fly? Born from awesome. And seriously, how true is it that the only thing his teenage daughter can bring herself to vocalize is: "Cool"
Side note: The slight gradual increase of morphing Nathan's and Sylar's features is just too awesome. I love how it's subtle enough that casual viewers won't notice it, but people who've seen every episode like, akuhbajillion times (i.e. myself) would almost automatically be "What the... *gasp* Oh, no they di'n't!")
Aww, Audrey Mama Gray is so cute! With her little snowglobe fetish and everything! (Honestly, though: Did he really pick that one up for her in Texas, y'know, while he was running from the Company? I don't imagine something like that would leave enough time for souvenir hunting.) But hey, you know what rhymes with 'Oregon'? Organ. As in brain. As in "see above info on 'feeding slightly over-the-top but we still wish they were true' fan theories".
Super-geek inside joke No. 1: Mama Gray says that Oregon is "green everywhere". And we all know that all she ever really wanted was to be "Somewhere That's Green". *badum-bum.tss!*
Aww, Gabriel and mom are fighting over a clock. And what was the deal with Pa Gray to make mom seemingly despise him while Gabe all of a sudden respects him? (Could he have cheated? This would certainly help the 'Omg, Sylar and Peter/Nathan/poss. both are (half?) brothers!' theory.
*Ma Gray holds up photo!snowglobe* Bwhahaha, Zach Quinto, you sure were one weird lookin' kid. Definitely glad you grew out of it!
Super-geek inside joke No. 2: Ma Gray mentions that "Investment banking is a very lucrative field". I take it as a huge back-handed reference to ZQ's guest spot on 'Off Centre'. Because he'd "love to pick your brain about getting into that".
"You could be President." - Gee, thanks for that one, Ma Gray. Now we all know who to blame. (On the other hand, this pretty much confirms that 'Five Years Gone' is not a "possible" future, but the real future. And I say "bring it".)
What I wanna know is, how long has Nathan been in bed with OWI? I'm telling you, Nate, I know it's hard for you, but stop signing yourself up for mattress wrestling with every available person/organization/etc. before you catch gonoherpesyphalitis.
Omg, please tell me that's tea he's drinking with his sandwich.
!WE INTERRUPT THIS META FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!: Do to unfortunate circumstances, 'Heroes' will no longer air at it's regularly scheduled time, as NBC and Tim Kring are currently having their asses sued off by Tim Burton for blatant plagiarism. WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED META
Insert even more Mollinder cuteness [here]. (His wink! *dies*) And tell us what the deal with the star is! We needs to know! (Aww, they hug! Can this get any cuter?)
I think I'm going to coin a new term for how much I love Gabriel trying to get his life back together. I shall call it 'emodorable'. You may commence with the using.
And I love how killing his mother is the only thing that makes him feel the slightest bit remorseful. Possibly nuking NY? Yeah, but it's the future so it might change. Actually seeing his mother's freshly slain corpse and her blood on his own hands? Like I said, emodorable.
Hee, I wouldn't mind Sendhil being my own personal blood donor. *smirk*
And oooh, broken!sword = unavoidable time paradox! (This is heavy.)
Umm, why is there a random gun hiding out in a desk drawer in the Petrelli foyer? "Oh my, Peter. What a rather large gun you have! I assume it'd fully loaded?" (And I disagree with you, Claire: The Universe can be that lame. Move to Florida and you'll see what I mean.)
The fuck what?! Mama Petrelli, just how long have you been planning this shindig? (And please, tell us your power already. Please?)
"...being Presidential." - I'm telling you, 'Five Years Gone' is the "true" future.
o.O Dude, last time I checked, finger painting with your dead mother's blood was totally not on the list of cool things to do. Not at all.
'FYG'/President LOUD hint the Third
*chokes on suffocating amount of Paire occupying the scene*
Aww, Bennet!reunion! HRG is so full of mush I could roll on him. And what, we don't get any feedback from Matt and Peter? I know he's got better control over his powers now, but still! Couldn't we get at least a little snippet of mind!talk?
Ahhhaha, Peter is all aglow, and... WTF, you can't end an episode liek that! Dammitry, I say!
Preview for 1x22 'Landslide':
DUDE! Sylar 1, cop car 0!
And ooh, Sylar of the glowy radioactive eyes variety!
HEADSHOT!
