Doggie! Doggie! Doggie! I've been waiting 10 years to get a dog, ever since the dog I grew up with passed away. My family have dogs, but I haven't been able to have one myself on account of living in share houses or teenie flats.
If Nathan was the same age, then I think he could be 36-37 right now, so Nathan could be about ten years older than Peter? And we don't know when their father died, do we? So he might have been kind of "in loco parentis" for Peter for a long, long time, since they were boys.) That would work well for me, though I still find it psychologically intriguing that he bonded with Nathan rather than resented him acting as a surrogate father. Something's just pinging oddly for me with that family--something to do with the way their mother phrased it about Peter being her 'favourite' but Nathan always taking up more space and energy. With a ten-year age diff, wouldn't it be the younger kid who was more likely to the one requiring attention/energy? I don't mind that they haven't gone with the stereotype of this
( ... )
Ando and Hiro are such stereotypes from Japanese Anime/drama it's not even funny. There's always a jackass to tag along and WHINE like Ando does. I find it a little cute, but that might be because I've seen worse whiners. I enjoy them, but I like their stories when they stretch out of the stereotype, like with Charlie.
I pretty much agree with you on everything. XP Why is Simone so poorly written? I can't think of another reoccurring character that has so little going on.
There's always a jackass to tag along and WHINE like Ando does. True. And I always hate them.
I've seen worse whiners Also true. Though somehow I find it even less forgiveable in the 'real' world of live action. Why is that? *scratches head*
Why is Simone so poorly written? I don't knowwwww..... *cries* Although my theory is that the writers didn't think about her beyond 'girlfriend, there must be a girlfriend'. *stabs them*
I think real world whiners are harder for some people because they don't go chibi and run around all cute. I kinda like Ando. More often when Hiro chastizes him and he pouts. That's right, Ando, you're pretty much nothing without Hiro :D
I agree. Simone's role is the girl in the threesome, which for me always translates into object of sublimation. Because to love someone, they have to be a PERSON and writers forget that women continue to be people when guys want them. Other than that, they've been doing so well with the female character. Maybe because none of the other female characters are a "love interest," but are instead settled or unattached.
writers forget that women continue to be people when guys want them Heh. A truer word ...! And yes, I was initially very worried about Heroes' gender politics, but I've settled down. Claire is an awesome character, Nikki continues to bother me, but I like the women in Matt's plot a lot. It's a mixed bag for me. Simone's a problem though. It's a good thing she's not in it that much.
Oh, thank you for the anecdote! I always struggle to understand sibling dynamics, never having had one myself.
I think until we know more about their Dad, their mom and their family life, it won't make sense. *nods* That's the feeling I get too--I hope the writers are deliberately keeping us in suspense and not just neglecting to write the backstory. I think I have faith that we'll learn more in time.
We still have no clue as to his real name. Which is verrry kewl! Oh, yessss! Very cool!
