And we finally get to see what happened after the finale!! I remember being so fucking relieved and excited when this first came on. They really knew how to keep us in suspense
( ... )
Bob and Peter's psych profile: In last ep, or the one before it, Nathan was looking at the boxes of files in Bob's office with labels on them. The Petrelli's had their own shelf. I would expect that all the founders and their blood relations would have extensive files, due to the obvious genetic component of abilities.
Elle's trauma: Yes, I agree totally. The completely inappropriate boundaries is a huge red flag.
I really love how they handle Niki. Not liking the side effects of the meds, so she stops taking them. Going back to pretending. Then the stress of a new job makes her snap again and brings out a persona she used to run from her problems. She doesn't need Jessica right now, she's not in danger. She needs Gina, who is irresponsible and party loving to run away from her next crappy job and the lies she's been telling.
The three people I've known who were on anti-psychotics were all prone to going off their medication and oddly, all three (who didn't know each other) gave the same reason: they thought people only liked them when they were on the meds. So they'd go off them, act unstable and their life would fall apart until they finally started taking the medication again.
If you think about it, it makes sense though. People want to be liked for themselves. Not drugs.
I take my pills faithfully because I don't like myself without them. Which makes me hate them (the pills). They're like physical proof that you're crazy, and no one wants that. Im sure a lot of fans related when Niki threw hers down the drain.
And yes, I shouldnt talk about personal things here, but it's relevant to the character discussion. Besides, we talk about who we think is hot, and that's personal.
I think they were putting something in Niki's pills that was messing her up. Either that, or something about the delicate brain chemistry of her particular ability was interfering with the pills and producing depression as a side effect. Maybe the pills they were giving her were treating her ability, but not her mental issues (though I can't tell if she's always had psychological problems, or if that's something connected to her ability).
But anyway, I had the impression that the Company was waiting for her to screw up so they could reel her in. Though honestly I can't see why. Super-strength isn't all that cool.
> Great summary. But ... this is very familiar. And the episode is titled "Four Months Later". "Later" ... crap. Definitely the wrong ep. No wonder the summary was so good. It was the 'season starter'.
> 'He ain't heavy. He's my brother.'
> I actually feel pretty sorry for Maya here ... then she sort of ruins it by being whiny.
> How did Bob and co. know where Peter would be? I love those unappreciative looks Peter keeps giving Elle.
> Nathan still has eyelashes. Ha. I've never seen any burn victims, but I'd think if their skin was charred, that they'd have that stuff covered up by dressings.
> Damn it Elle! You are damned forever for cutting the hair!
> Micah, 11 years old. Season 2 in 2007. Hm, I missed his age by a year in my fic.
I am in love with D.L. He is so hot! And smart and protective of his woman. I love him. I love that he picked a job that would make his son proud. I forgot about this awesome place they took his character here. It's heartbreaking build up for what comes next.
The muscle that stands out so beautifully on either side of Peter's neck is called the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle. SCM for short. And he has some nice ones. Yumm.
"You know for four hundred years, you've held up pretty well." Yay! I love that line.
Peter has many lovely muscles, but thank you for providing the name for that one! Sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle. Mm. Sterno-cleido-mastoid. I'll try to remember that.
