All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Getting a bit more on topic...

Peter and Sylar have met. Presumably, Peter now has Sylar's power. And if Sylar won the fight in Five Years Gone, Future!Sylar would have Peter's power. I'm betting that means gaining not the collected powers of the other, but just the basic one. So Peter should be able to "see how that works" (if he happens to see the brain of another Hero) and Future!Sylar would be able to absorb powers without killing. Not much of a net gain for either one, but it does mean they are more or less equals.

A great big HEH at the family photo. Glad to see the characters have made up after all the recent unpleasantness....

What is even happening?

Oh my god! He got Giles!
Hee!

To be more clear, if I didn't know they were supposed to be related, I would be calling it UST. Since they are related, I'm going with "Aw. Sweet."

I wonder if the actors knew their characters were related back when Peter saved Claire. Claire looks at Peter like she's totally swoony-schoolgirl-in-love with him. Peter's only slightly better giving off an avuncular vibe. I'm going with, "Aw. Sweet," but it's taking a lot of work.

Since the characters didn't know they were related, I'd say Hayden's reading was spot on.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes, the brain bit would be icky, but the less-organic "see how things work" could be really useful.

Loved the photo.

I realize the characters didn't know they were related, but they read, to me, as if they were being test-run for a romance. And there was never a "Gulp. Ew. He's my UNCLE moment," after the reveal. There was just more swoon.

I know this probably isn't the place for this, but I don't have it in me to email you. Am I somehow offending you with my posts, Jon?

Trust my rage

Peter is an interesting character to me. I found him pretty boring initially. I found him a bit too dark, but hot, in the future scenes. I like him now - sort of battle-hardened but not brittle.

And there was never a "Gulp. Ew. He's my UNCLE moment," after the reveal. There was just more swoon.

This was how I read it too - more swooning. It's got to be weird, though, having hot uncle who saved your life and who you know is genetically related to you, but who you met for the first time when he saved. your. life. If I were Claire, I'd be confused.

This sort of reminds me of Luke/Leia.

Not at all. I think, perhaps, that we haven't been getting the gists of each other's posts. Sorry if my responses have come across as harsh -- that wasn't my intention.

Okay, thank you. As long as I didn't give your puppy cancer or anything.
