And if they're supposed to go on pretending he's dead, why visit them in the first place?

So they can stop being sad about him being dead?

"Off Veronica's face"

That there is talent

I noticed the same thing about no Bennett hugs, which seriously pinged me. I'll ease your deep but transient grief by showing up and then moving on so that you can spend the rest of your lives wondering where I am and grieving for my not!noble sacrifice.

He could easily have, I dunno, had someone lie for him to let the family know they would be safe but...I memfault who said it upthread...isn't he smarter than that? To assume any such deal would keep them safe with him not around is just uncharacteristically Mohinerish.

I was just in the Coffee Bean and, on the entertainment news ticker, the headline was, "Heroes Drops Some Dead Weight."

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Now if they'd really killed Maya, I'd be all for the headline.

I noticed that headline too, Kristen, and was confused.

It's from E! news: [link]

Stupid headline, but not a bad article overall.

The backlash over season two's frailties, from the ridiculous amount of time spent following Hiro in medieval Japan to the unfulfilling romantic connection between Claire and West (Nicholas D'Agosto) to the pointlessness that is Peter's dialogue

Hee.

Sigh. Not enough dead weight dropped for me (die Sylar, die already. And take Maya with you, NO REALLY.)

And Nathan never was dead weight.

::disgruntled and grumpy::

While Sylar was at times tiresome when he was with Maya y Alejandro, he's still pretty great with Mohinder, and I'm glad he finally has his damn powers back. I actually didn't like him shooting Maya, not because I didn't want Maya dead, but because it just felt...wrong and brutal, when Sylar generally has more flair. Shooting Maya like that makes him like any other cold-blooded killer.

And Nathan never was dead weight.

I think they kinda turned him into no weight. When I saw him last night, my first thought was, "Nathan! How I've missed your face!"

My second thought was that he needed a haircut.

I dunno, crushing hearing-woman in that garage didn't show me much flair or grace. Fairly brutal, pretty pointless. I AM more interested in him with his power back and I like the socio-lethal aspect of his totally id-driven existence but the writers are going to have to work a bit to make me tingle for him again.

My second thought was that he needed a haircut.

The bumpiness of his hair distracted me, but when he got cleaned up for the press conference, I think I actually sighed out loud.
