Angelus ,'Damage'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Another question is who is the Haitian actually working for. It seemed to me that he sort of implied it was Claire's real family. If so, Nathan (or maybe Mama Petrelli?) knows a lot more than he's been letting on.
With both of the Petrelli boys having powers, I think there may be a good chance that either Mama or Papa Petrelli also has/had powers. It could have something to do with the father's suicide.
Yeah, I missed the whole plotting and scheming going on with the Haitian and what all went down and what info was conveyed. Did he say at one point that he was following orders? From whom?
Do you think Matt will become an "agent"?
Why not. It puts him in a position to find out what's really going on. Also was that Hana already on the inside taking Eden's job?

I thought they were implying that he was taking orders from Dr Where, but I could have misinterpreted that.
I thought that might be Hana, but I wasn't sure.
Ooh, was that Hana? I was wondering (briefly) where she'd gotten to in the threesomes scheme.
Which would mean that there are now two heroes on the inside. But, vaguely as I remember her, I think it was someone else. She seemed shorter and have longer hair than Hana.
The Haitian said "I answer to someone whose instructions supercede yours" In response to HRG's "In this company?" the Hatian replied "In your daughter's life". There was then the flashback with Dr. Where, which would make you think that Dr. Where superceded HRG

That is where I got the impression.
Holy fucking shit, you guys. That episode was INTENSE. So much love for Claire, and Mr. Bennett, and Mrs. Bennett, and Lyle too (with the baseball bat!), and -- god, everyone was so amazing. And Claude! I hadn't thought of the connection with Simone or her dad, but that would make sense with the building. And I'm so glad to see that Simone isn't dead!
I cried when Mr. Bennett told the Haitian to "go deep". I wonder what memories he'll be left with. I loved the reveal of why he was trying to keep Claire and everyone else ignorant of her powers -- he really is just trying to protect her. The two of them had so many fantastic scenes together this week, from when Mr. Nakamura first puts her in his arms, to the scene where he's trying on glasses -- I really liked that "you look like my dad" line, when he puts on the right pair. The writing was really tight this week too. I totally dug Mr. Bennett and Matt teaming up and trying to talk down Ted, and how genuinely horrified Mr. Bennett was at the implication that he'd been responsible for giving Claire her powers.
In conclusion: oh, Claire!
Re: Heroes
Wow. That episode kicked ass. Mr. Bennett and Claire on the bridge got my allergies going.
Re: Dresden
My stupid Tifaux didn't record the episode for some reason, and then I had to manually get it to record tonight's repeat. It wasn't showing any episodes until the marathon on Wednesday. Grr.
Over all, I enjoyed the episode, but again I have to wonder why they're "adapting" the books at all, since despite the fact we had a Bianca, Ancient Mai, Red Court, Black Court and "Third Eye" they bared very little resemblance to the books.
I'm also disappointed we finally see the staff hockey stick in action and Harry's Forzare is a cheesy blue beam with generic cheesy blue beam sound effect.
Also, I had a couple problems with the eye trick because 1) If Harry can use a dead man's eye to see him last few minutes of life, that pretty much takes the mystery out of most murders. 2) While it's a bit of a grey area, I think that spell would fall under the category of necromancy, and thus equal Morgan lopping Harry's head off for breaking the Laws of Magic (well, if he found out.)
Some explanation of how Harry managed to get shot with a couple of crossbows and live would have been nice. I mean, sure, magic, but it kind of lowers the suspense if he can get shot in the back willy nilly.
That said, I still enjoyed the episode a lot as a whole. I loved the bit with Bob crying at the french film and not wanting to stop watching when Harry started gesticulating at him.
Also, Harry got some wit and some snark on. "Big problems are next door. I only do small to medium problems."
