Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!
I like enemy slash like Mulder/Krycek where the "enemy" half is at least a little ambiguous. SYLAR EATS BRAINS. AND HIS PORTMANTEAU SUCKS.
So, not my beautiful cake, is what I'm saying, not that I'm trying to be obnoxious about it. (The Matt/Mohinder portmanteau is, naturally, Matthinder. *sigh*)
Mulder/Krycek
Mrycek or Krulder is better than Mylar as a portmanteau? I don't think so.
I don't like that there's this deus ex blood out there now... It feels like a cheat.
FTR, I agree with this. Maybe when they start fixing problems post-strike the Mayas of the last chapter will just disappear without explanation, and we can get back to better story-telling.

Did I use a portmanteau? I did not. Because they are wrong and evil. When I got into slash, there was none of this portmanteau business! Even if people didn't know how to spell the characters' names. You just had to sit in front of your computer and yell at invisible people about misspelling "Krychek".
Here's a thought - what if Maya's black oil power is a form of the Shanti virus? So by bringing her back to life, Mohinder has doomed humanity to a horrible virusy death even though the Bros Petrelli managed to stop Adam?
It would also please me if the magical healing blood didn't work against death-by-Maya.
(This is me, grasping pathetically at straws that would give Maya's continued existance a frelling point.)

My biggest gripe in this category is Peter. Simple exposure to another power and it becomes his own, to use at will indefinitely? At least Sylar has to kill to "earn" his power, but Peter? He could absorb Molly's power, than locate and teleport in and out of every place with a powered human and absorb every power out there. And if the power's not out there anymore, hell, he could jump back in time and get it anyway (like Linderman's healing touch).
Seriously, if Peter had half a brain, he'd be a god by now.

They seemed to have dumbed him down since he lost the emo lock. I didn't think he started out so stupid.
My fervent wish is that they spend a bit of time overthinking the powers because it's not as much fun for me to overthink them if the writers don't.

All his brains were in his hair!
I blame the Haitian. I think he scrambled Peter's brains.

Maybe he felt rushed.
"Okay, take away his name and family...that he has superpowers...uh...fuck it, just wipe 85% of his higher functions. As long as he can breathe and piss, I call it good enough."
