( continues...) not looking good! And I was loving the cute cousinly bonding, and your wee outfit, and your excellent breaking'n'entry skills, but now - oh dear...
OMG, SYLAR TOTALLY HAS MOLLY!!! OMG OMG!!!
freaks the fuck out
Mohinder, you useless fucking hunk of tall, dark, lickable and brainless, get your pretty ass BACK TO THE APARTMENT RIGHT NOW!!! Develop a sodding superpower already! Matt, stop doing whateverthefuckyou'redoing and go SAVE THE FREAKING DAY!!!
freaks out some more
I think I hated the Twins more than Flyboy.
It's not crap.
Really? Oh, splendid! I think I may continue to have low expectations, though, because then I'll just be all delighted by it, insh'allah.
Hey! Allison Mack is awesome!
Not dissing her (hey, Smallville Season One lives in my fannish memory as something unexpected and precious - it's like summer holidays when you're a kid, that stretch on forever and are full of sunny days and popsicles and daisychains and all that stuff - I heart Smallville season one, when I fell head over heels in love with my very first OTP and the world was full of shiny blue bottles of water and fabulous new words like 'cocksicle'. Ah, good times, good times...but the fact remains that Allison Mack is not, upon rewatching, a better actress than KK. They both do perfectly good and charming jobs with the scripts they get. Fandom embraced the hell out of Chloe (and Allison) and was pretty fucking savage about Lana (and Kristin). And actually, for me, upon rewatching without the lens of TwoP, I found KK and Lana surprised me by how likeable and 3D they actually were.
(Although Lana's parents being dead - and then NOT being dead, and in either case being, unless my memory deceives me, pretty markedly Caucasian, continues to be really quite entertaining.)
...um, apologies for the serial postage.
Anyway, yes - just polished off the series. And, yes, wow, it really does feel curtailed - pity that the storytelling had to suffer for the Writers' Strike. I mean, fair play to the writers, and I was all 'Go Team Writers', but selfishly, right now, I'm just rather sorry that we didn't get to see the whole thing unfold at the normal pace, and that characters got comparatively short shrift. Hmm.
Ah well.
Oh, Elle, don't go making me feel sorry for you! (Nice scenes, those with Not!Veronica and Mr Bennet. Mr Bennet - still made of win.)
Oh - poor Nicky! That girl had no luck. Plus - Micah is now going to be the guiltiest kid in guilt-town. Poor wee scone.
Also OMGWTF Nathan! But - surely he has regenerative powers now? Or is that a one-shot deal? 'Cause I was all over the Petrelli brothers' bonding, I must admit. (Although, you know, Peter has mostly just been Very Annoying And Stupid this season. If I fancied him, I'd maybe give him a free pass for all the wet'n'shirtless schtick - but since I don't, I mostly want to smack him upside the head. I mean, apart from anything else - how the hell is AVERTING the future where Caitlin exists supposed to help you get her back, you idiot? You need to get your ass back into that future before you shift the world onto a different course, or else you have lost her forever! Which -oops! Looks like you have lost her forever!)
Hiro - NICE punishment for Adam! Nice! 'Course, when he eventually emerges he's going to be reeeeally pissed off...
Sylar...so, still evil. Curses. (And what the hell is with the company NOT NOTICING that he escaped from his secure facility in the first place? 'Cause whatshershape wasn't working alone, she was working for the company. Surely absconding psychotic former supervillains should be the kind of thing that earns at least a terse email? A company memo? SOMETHING?)
Maya - not dead? 'Cuz I admit, I was sort of agreeing with Sylar at that point, with the shooting. It was sort of an Indiana Jones versus the sword-wielding guy moment for me - oooooh, sudden threat of big weepy death...bang! Okay, no problemo! (Poor wee Molly really didn't need to die of the drippy mascara disease. That kid has had a shitty enough year already.)
Oh, Matt, get your ass home and sort out your Indian wife. He is sweet as hell, but really doesn't know his arse from his elbow. You need to go home and use your awesome mind control powers to keep him barefoot and shirtless and tied to the kitchen sink, where he can do comparatively little harm. Hopefully. And give poor wee Molly a big hug while you're there.
Awww, Fay, you are so awesome. I really miss squeeing over Heroes.
How much do I love Fay's version of Heroes? THHHISSSSS MMMMMMUCCCH.

I love Fay SO HARD right now, I can't even describe it.
Question - does anybody know how I'd go about getting my hands on the Heroes scripts from S1 and S2?
So in the latest online comic are we to read HRG's comments as admitting that he did in fact die from Mo's shot and then they brought him back to life? Because if so, I really, really hate that development. I mean, I guess it means we could conceivably get Nathan back, but there better be some big, goddamn limits on just how much this "magic blood" can accomplish. Maybe there's some time limit?
ION, thoroughly enjoying the comic.
I've so totally fogotten where things ended. What happened to Nathan, again?
