Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

also just wanted to say how much I'm really loving Nathan and Peter's relationship.

From the six-months-ago flashback when they were closer, to walking down the steps and Nathan snarking "I wish you would walk straight for starters" to him cradling Peter. Just love the physicality. Very, I don't know, I guess... Italian?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Now mind you, I've not gotten the full season, what with my travel and all, so correct me if I stray.

Mr. Bennett said Sylar's powers wouldn't work.

I definitely think Eden disabled whatever the blocking mechanism was when she tapped out whatever on the security panel. Because she didn't then open the door, so she wasn't unlocking the door to go in to Sylar, she was just trying to use her power. I don't know why it didn't occur to her that his power might be stronger. And I didn't interpret her suicide as a noble sacrifice, I thought that Sylar had already absorbed her powers, and was turning her power of suggestion suicide idea on her.

But because I haven't been all up on everything, I didn't know the whole eat the brains/get the brains thing, so I must have misinterpreted.

I don't know why Peter is sick, but I wish he'd get better.

I wonder what Claire's dad thought would happen the next time she heals herself after she'd had her memory wiped? Or maybe he's successfully done it to her before, and this is just from when her powers started this cycle?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

(oatmeal with cranberries)

Yeah, maybe it's injury and not sickness, which would mean Claire would be vulnerable to radiation sickness?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I kind of like that. I don't think it will be true, since it seems like this batch of heroes is supposed to have discovered/developed their powers around the same time, but it's a great idea.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

And I didn't interpret her suicide as a noble sacrifice, I thought that Sylar had already absorbed her powers, and was turning her power of suggestion suicide idea on her.

So far Sylar has been killing those whose power he steals by carving their brains out of their skulls. Whether it's to "eat" them or simply observe them to "find out how they work" he seems to need the brain to take the power.

Torchwood:

Wow, Ianto totally offered to have kinky stopwatch sex. Hello.

I felt like this week, they finally got the emotional feel of it right. The plot was still a bit of a stretch -- Susie set up all of these elaborate plans on the theory that she'd die and they'd not only bring her back, they'd find a way to keep her alive? But for once, at the end, I wasn't rolling my eyes. I loved the way Jack shot Susie without a moment of hesitation, then shot her again and again. And I *loved* Ianto's observation about gloves coming in pairs.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ooh, good point.

Also, as everyone in the vision is running away from him, Nathan steps up and confronts him. ??? Is Nathan the only one who can save/stop him from going nuclear?

If Peter's about to go kablooey, Nathan might be the one who can prevent him from blowing up everyone else by getting him far, far away.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Am I the only one who got Nathan-as-a-bad-guy vibes from the flashforward?
