I've only seen most episodes once except for a couple episodes I listened to the commentary for.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I do not notice the details. That is what I have fandom for.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've never seen an ep more than once. When I forget something, I check the Heroes Wiki

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
My last post sounded snippier than I intended. For that, I apologize.
Edited to add: And it would have been funnier if I had ended with the quip, "Are you saying there's a connection between Glory and Ben?"

This.
I watch the episodes AFTER I've come here and read the w&p. I get so much more out of them that way.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
you know it's funny. when i watched the pilot last summer, it was probably my least favorite of the bunch(and i really didn't like the Hiro storyline) and now? ha! it's probably one of my favorite shows on television. joining the ranks of Supernatural and The Office.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, I also didn't think the plot of the pilot did much to sell me on the show, but the first regular episode got me excited enough to sub it on the TiVo.

What is even happening?
Yeah, I'm afraid I only watch each episode once.Heck, last week, I couldn't remember that Claire had been killed in the five-years-hence reality.
you don't have to memorize the plot to notice some details.Heh. I'm having trouble remembering major events. I think it's the time travel.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Okay, this episode may have been about moving the pieces into place, but it still rocked.
It seems to me that Sylar is not *always* evil. There was a great deconstruction of him in a fic that posited the many possible inhabitants of his rattling brain--Gabriel, Sylar, and the people he "became" for a short time, like Zane. And I think there's some truth to that--the act of changing his clothes (my god, those horrific chinos), shaving, rearranging his hair--all those are classic methodology for changing a persona, or in Sylar's case, an identity. It's notable that he didn't shift out of being more-or-less a good dude until he used his power; for Sylar, his powers are a catalyst for his evv0ltude.
When he was talking on the phone with Mohinder (and can I just say, creepy slash factor up to ELEVEN) it seemed like he was straddling the boundary between his super-evil serial killing self and something of the man he was before the powers. He didn't say he wanted to stop. He said someone needed to stop him. And his boyfriendMohinder was the guy he wanted to do it.
Can I just say, I totally called the accidental power-gleaning on the part of Peter from Ted from, oh, like eighteen episodes ago? Though it's interesting how fine-tuned Ted's powers have become. He's a far cry from the crazy dude of episodes past.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I'm curious as to which of the writers has Mommy Issues, in that Sylar's mom is the one who made him craxxy by wanting him to Be Special.
And speaking of getting info from the fandom rather than the show, i totally didn't put little Molly Walker together with the "Walker System" until reading stuff here last night after the episode. More angst for Mr. Bennet! Yay!
