Why the hell weren't you watching Heroes tonight? Yes, you. How many times have I told you that it's the best damn show on TV? Many times. Now you are missing out. You are missing out big time. GO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODES FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Although at this point you might as well just wait the four more weeks until the season's over and ( Read more... )

I watched it! Emily got into it first and I've been watching along with her. I haven't seen the first half of the season. And I'll admit I've been a bit slow to get into it - it doesn't hurt that I'm fangirling several things right now so my fangirl-level is spread a bit thin. I'm getting more and more invested in it, though.

I am in love with Mama Petrelli. She is made of awesome.

What is it with you and hot middle-aged women?

I love this show. I hope you get to love it too. I thought last night's episode was just great. Did you see the Bennet/Claire episode of a few weeks ago? That one was amazing.

pocketwitch April 24 2007, 14:37:51 UTC

LOL! I don't actually love Mama Petrelli in that way. I just think she's awesome. But I will not deny I do have a thing for older women. Older women with power, poise and control. Daaaaaaamn.

And yes, I saw the Bennet/Claire episode; I think I probably saw that one too early in my Heroes-watching to fully appreciate it, though. That might've only been the 2nd one I saw, I can't remember for sure. It was good, definitely, but I think I would appreciate it more if I saw it again after having seen more.

Somebody needs to take out that shapeshifting bitch.

Actually, she's not a shapeshifter. She distorts reality. When she first shows up to "save" Issac, she makes it so that Simone's body disappears from the bed.

Goddammit why do Peter and Claire have to be related?!!!

I'd like to second that. OMG.

There's obviously a connection between Hiro's dad and Lindermann, if Bennet took orders from Hiro's dad and, as we found out for sure from Parkman tonight, Lindermann runs the paper company.

I think Mama Petrelli is part of it, too. Basically, I'm going to suspect the parents of every adult character we see. Maybe even Nikki's dad?!

But as Hiro has shown us, with his sweet waitress's death, the future can't be changed.

Hiro hasn't shown us that yetOne of the things about time travel is that by changing a single event in the past, you can actually muck up your own development. So, for example, if he killed Sylar some of those heroes might not have discovered their powers when they did and then wouldn't be there to help Hiro ( ... )

Do you disagree that she should die?

I think Mama Petrelli is part of it, too. Basically, I'm going to suspect the parents of every adult character we see. Maybe even Nikki's dad?! I like how they've been all gradual with the revelations. Like, very gradually, we figured out that Hero-ness could be hereditary, and the child of adult heroes is likely to be one too, like Micah. But it's only recently dawned on me that the *adult* heroes are somebody's children too, and that if they are heroes, then their parents could be. I was like, OMG ( ... )

theemdash April 24 2007, 13:17:35 UTC

Do you disagree that she should die?

I think it's the Plaid Skirt of Evil that bothers me most about her. I kind of hate her the same way I hated Lilah. I just wish she had more depth. (Lilah did get that, but there was a time when she was waaaaay too one-note.)

If I am the time traveler, then what I am experiencing is always the present, no matter where I *should* be in time.

Yes, it should be, but that's not the way most people think. It's this whole, "I have to get back to my time" mentality.

but Hiro is actually *in the future* right now, experiencing it.

But it's still just a possibility of the future.

It has to do with the Multiple Universe Theory, if you really want to know. Every possible decision splits off into a new universe, thus creating a different possible future. Time traveling to the future is more like glimpsing what will happen if events continue on their current path. If Hiro went back to the "present" (to his natural timeline), then he could attempt to change events, but unless he knows what ( ... )

But... but... he could take Charlie to Lindermann and he could heal the tumor ( ... )

That was an awesome episode.

I think Candace is an illusionist. That's how I'm thinking of her power, anyway. And yes, so needs to die.

I'm not sure how they're going to handwave fixing Future Hiro's Bad Past, but I wonder if he's going to explain what he meant when he told Peter he was "risking a rift" by coming to speak with him.

I was wondering why Mohinder didn't take that opportunity to pick up the gun and finish off Syler while he was unconscious for the second time.

supercheesegirl April 24 2007, 13:48:12 UTC

"Illusionist" is probably more accurate than "shapeshifter", you're right. But I think the technical term for Candace is "bitch", so I'm going to go with that. :)

I hope we get lots of good time travel info next week. I'm very confused about the time travel right now--I mean, not necessarily the travel itself, but the consequences of changing things in the time stream (see conversation with theemdash above)--and I think I would like FutureHiro to explain it to me.

I think Mohinder was like, "Shit, that guy had me stapled to the ceiling, let's get the hell out of here!" Although I wonder why he thought it was okay to go back to his apartment, because there he was later on in the episode.

supercheesegirl April 24 2007, 14:30:35 UTC

Also, did no one in the entire city of New York, including the cab driver, see bloody Mohinder heaving Peter's dead body about and question it? Hello, city of New York in the middle of the afternoon!

sarahpender April 25 2007, 01:06:53 UTC

Wouldn't Mohinder have used his own cab? That way he'd avoid another witness. Or does he not still have a cab? I've lost track.

Would it be presumptuous to assume that you're referring to me? My guess is very few people you know actually know how to download tv shows...

supercheesegirl April 24 2007, 14:28:16 UTC

There are lots of people I know who are both capable of downloading shows and who aren't watching Heroes. But yes, you are one of those people. AND THIS SHOW IS AWESOME. And there's time travel! You love things with time travel! And there are mysteries that we actually get answers to! And many attractive characters who have sexy superpowers!

Seriously, though, I think you would really like this show. Next week's episode is going to be pretty heavy with the time travel (our heroes are going to have to figure out what changes to make in the present time stream in order to prevent a possible future), and it made me think of you.

No super robots yet, though. There's a kid who can control electronic devices and a chick who can access the internets with her brain, but there are no super robots. If super robots ever show up, you will have to start watching!

sleepyworm April 24 2007, 15:29:03 UTC

when the season is over, I'll definitely download it and give it a try. And I'm sure you'll hear about it when I post about it! :)

bulleteyes April 25 2007, 13:14:37 UTC

Almost sounds like Mama Petrelli can redict the future. Hmm.

supercheesegirl April 25 2007, 22:56:15 UTC

I'm so glad you said that. I bet she does. I bet that's why Peter sometimes has prophetic dreams--because he absorbed the power from his mom and didn't even know it. I am very excited about this theory!
