I'm sorry I keep spamming your journal lately, but it was the first thing I saw on my flist after watching Heroes and clearly I am feeling excessibly commenty.
Irish moll stereotype Caitlin very annoying too... Clearly supposed to be feisty but, well, not very convincing. And this is not a righteous political complaint, but seriously, those accents! Did they hire the same dialect coach as Angel?
I shouted with joy at my TV when Hiro put on the mask and so forth.
Mohinder *introduced himself* to Bob. Didn't anyone ever teach him it's polite to ask someone's name before you inject your blood into their arm?
I squealed at the TV when Hiro pulled on the mask! And waved my hands around in excitement! Um, also, I did that when I thought Kensei was dead because that would mean the show actually doing some unpredictable with the plotline and I am sure we all know my feelings about White Kensei.
(Apologies if this paragraph is too graphic.) Does Claire have super strength, or does it in fact not take all that much strength to cut off a toe using normal scissors? Maybe I am overestimating how much force it takes, but I suspect I would not be strong enough to do the equivalent to a dead chicken. Also, why not start smaller?
The Kensei storyline worries me. Maybe with his healing they'll go somewhere I find satisfying, but at this point I really want Yaeko and not white dude or Hiro to play Kensei.
I am guessing Maya is this season's Molly: The secret weapon / BFG to defeat the big bad.
When Mohinder appeared mind-wiped, I was pretty sure Bob (the Haitian's name is now Bob for me because of you :) and him had had a talk or at least Bob was in on the plan. I was pleased to be correct (in part because my pet theory for Avatar: The Last Airbender was dashed by the second episode of the third season).
Ewwwww! Ok, I am now going to try very hard not to think about how much pressure it takes to cut off a digit. ;)
I am so rooting for Yaeko to be Kensei as well, but the show has been doing so poorly on gender issues right now that I'm going with Hiro-as-Kensei as the lesser of two evils.
Oh huh, I didn't think about Maya as weapon. Hopefully she learns to control her powers! That would be much better. And it'd be nice to have a "secret woman acting as weapon to defeat the big bad" be, y'know, active, as opposed to being a threat just by existing.
Oh hey, what was your theory for Avatar? Have handy spoiler code!
Dashed Avatar theory: At the end of Season 2, I was hoping Zuko had gone undercover. I think that would have been awesome.
At some point I should make a post about the voice actors in Avatar. I find it quite entertaining to see what other projects I've encountered them in, and saddened that Mako (voice actor for Uncle Iroh) died. When I saw "The Tale of Iroh", I didn't know the names of the voice actors and thus didn't understand the dedication.
Yeah, it is just as stereotypical and annoying if their roles are flipped. But right now, I'm really annoyed about Maya's power first because it feels like a retread of the Niki/Jessica storyline (I can't control my power! And it ends up destroying everything!) and second because show, could we please have ONE WOMAN who can actively control her powers

HEE!

Sigh. Poor Bob. He is so unappreciated.

You should totally make a post about the voice actors! I, uh, didn't actually know who Mako was until Avatar.

I stared in a kind of transfixed horror when she did that. "...did they just show a toe flying through the air?"
