So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

that is hilarious.

I can't help but think that the impending writers' strike cramped this show's style. I hope S3 will be better or I think I will bail.

Kristen Bell's superpower is her ability to make me mute the TV.

Ouch. Not a VM fan, I take it.

Stephen Tobolowsky is as intimidating as a shoe.

This made me laugh like a drain. It's funny 'cause it's true.

I kinda gotta agree with him on some points. I mean, the writers' strike, I think, is the primary thing that made it seem cramped and unfocused, and they probably had awesome sweeping epic arcs in mind when they started, but the end product was...not as good as I hoped.

I wanted more Hiro! Even MartyMcFly!Hiro was awesome! I didn't mind Takezo Kensei/Adam so much until he showed up in the present. That could have been awesome, but then they just relegated him to Generic Bad Guy with Generic Bad Guy Plot. "I'm going to unleash a virus and destroy the world! Because some dork stole my girl four hundred years ago. Wah me!" Dude. Four hundred years ago. You've had more than ample time to get the fuck over it. I would much rather if his Plot would have been "I'm killing these fuckers because they jerked me around. Once I'm done, I'm out. Oh, and there's this virus that probably somebody should destroy, but I'ma steal it just in case a new group of World Changing Fucktards forms and decides to bother my ass again." And then have him succeed and keep him in reserve as a constant potential threat ala Victor Von Doom.

Peter Petrelli has always annoyed me, so I was actually kinda relieved when they spent a lot of time making sure he didn't have much to do. "He's amnesiac! He doesn't know who he is!" Great, maybe we can take this opportunity to give him a less whiny-bitch persona, just...oh, crap. He got his memory back. He's still an idiot. Oh, well.

Mohinder needs to be shot into space.

Miracle Blood pisses me off. "He's dead. But he knows a guy so it's cool." There should be consequences to that. Like they're completely psychologically fucked up or something. Or a zombie.

And if Miracle Blood starts giving random folk superpowers as well as restoring superpowers, I give up.

Noah is still the coolest guy to walk the face of the Earth.

These are my random thoughts. There are more, natch, but they are even more muddled so I will spare you.

While I'll agree that the My Indian Wife (© Greg Grunberg) and Mama Petrelli subplots were fun to watch, most of my memories of Season 2 are of Elle smirking, Kenzei smirking, Maya weeping the tears of My Angst Can Kill You, Let Me Show You It, that annoying flying tool smirking, and Claire, Peter, & Mohinder acting like they'd had lobotomies.

Mohinder was acting like this long before this season.

God, I'd forgotten about Maya's Emo O' Doom.

Probably blocked the memory in self-defense. What a waste of a storyline.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

AND SHE'S STILL ALIVE!!!! That's what burns me the most wrt the Maya storyline - that it's still going on.

I'm with you. Why, oh why didn't Sylar just blow her fucking head off when he had the chance?
