I have to agree with Vortex. Tracy looked deliberate and angry when she iced the guy, not scared. It didn't sit right with me, either.
ION, my favorite moments from this episode stem from mini!Sylar, so he's growing on me. He forces Sylar to confront himself (almost literally given the kid's history and proclivities), which cracks me up. "OK, so* technically* I'm a serial killer" may have to be my new tagline, though "You really have to stop trying to be my friend, or I'm going to have to kill you" is right up there. And yeah, Psychokiller on the radio combined with the kid's snorfle and Sylar's sidelong glance actually did make me LOL. No, really.
I love the idea of Micah being Rebel! Very cool, and it would make sense that he's one of the only ones out there who could actually figure out what's going on and then get the word out.
Agreed with Vortex that it just looked too deliberate. She really should have gone with, "this hand is loaded and I could... ice ... this guy if you don't back off."
I had a different interpretation of Tracy's actions - not that she reacted in fear - but that she now wants it exposed that there are "heroes." I think she deliberately wants their plight to be out in public consciousness and hiding who she was wasn't going to get her anywhere.
My second thought is that the writers are trying to do "character development" and show that circumstances of torture can turn a "good" person "bad."
I totally forgot yesterday was Monday! The three-day weekend threw me off.
Same here. Will have to watch later. The day just didn't have that Monday feel.
I love the idea of Micah being Rebel!
Oooh, that would be awesome.
Ok, I'm really not buying the idea that Peter, Matt, and Mohinder are outwitting HRG. I mean...no. Really, no.
I also didn't see fear in Tracey when she iced the guy. It looked very deliberate to me, so it was either a bad acting decision or a bad character decision.
I like the idea of Sylar having a sidekick. It's a good outlet for his Daddy issues and gives him someone to talk to other than people he's about to kill (or vice versa). I'm not crazy about the actual sidekick himself yet, but he fills a good niche.
What I didn't get about the mickey in HRG's drink is who put it there? The bar was empty. The obvious answer is that the bartender was in cahoots, but she looked clueless when PM&M said that they were taking HRG home because he'd had a few too many (paraphrasing). Felt like sloppy writing to me.
Maybe Matt got inside her head and made her do it? I have no idea. Just the idea that those three could get the jump on Noah fracking Bennett is hilarious to me.
