This episode has the word "asylum" in it. That's win enough.
But Heroes never stops there, oh no. It must have more win.
And win it did.
So. Much. Shipping. Nathan/Claire, Peter/Angela, Noah/Danko, even Sylar/Danko (who make the perfect duo/partnership/couple/thing).
Oh boy, another church. And praying. And... god. -.- There was also a lot of getting wet. Or no wait, only Sylar and Peter, but hey, who's complaining? And Nathan with fluffy drunk hair. :P
Freudian overtones, which I find all the more amusing cuz the Oedipal ones of Peter/Angela took place in a CHURCH. ... HEEE xD
"There used to be love in this family." Wow there's something to think about.
Nathan betting and drinking and Mexico and all that is oddly... hot? Agh, I dunno, something like that. :P
... they stopped synthesizing SYlar's voice to make it sound cool. Now it's just like Zachary Quinto's normal voice. Not sure how I feel about that :/ Or at least, they did for parts of this episode.
Still, this episode reminded me once again of why I love Sylar; his, as rtwofan worded it, laid-back snarky brilliance. Yeah I couldn't've said it better. :) And I love how they analyzed him, if only briefly. His wanting to be someone else, acting, because although most characters not meant for comic relief have uncanny lying abilities, Sylar takes this to another level.
Sylar and Danko talking about the shapeshifter, then at the club, was amusing. "He's a better you than you." xD Plus Sylar smirked so effing much in this episode, it made me happy. And watching the shapeshifter scream when he looked like Sylar was amusing.
Drunk Nathan saying he's going to "fix it all" is oddly sweet (even if he takes it back). As is Claire tucking him in. But then she pulls out the "real dad" card again... and it starts feeling really awkward (as opposed to the pure sexual tension when she was tucking him in and undressing him and etc). Maybe it's just me. "You're supposed to be Superman." ...?
Angela has a sister? Dun dun dunnn... More Petrellis = More Drama. Sounds like another Petrelli reunion coming up.
This ended on a really odd note. "Sylar" is dead. "If you succeed, you'll be the only one left." "Funny how that works." Plus Nathan and Claire + Angela and Peter, walking off arm in arm... It was probably the music that made it feel odd, but still. I rather liked this episode, overall.
Funny how with Heroes now, just about any ship makes me squee. Actually, any ship with Sylar in it, and/or Sylar's general sexiness both make me squee.
Paynesgrey's review of this episode plus the comments following got me intrigued... anyone know of any good fics where Sylar turns into someone else? Like Sylar-as-Elle/Claire or Sylar-as-Peter/Claire or Sylar-as-Claire/Peter? Or even just plain Sylar/Danko?
