Heroes - 1x23 - How to Stop an Exploding Man

[ashinae]

HAS THIS ICON EVER BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE? OH MY GOD I DON'T THINK SO.

HOW DO I DO THIS.

I knew, I knew, I knew, I KNEW, that's how it would wrap itself up. I knew. Peter's vision -- he was directly responsible for the deaths of Simone and Nathan. But I didn't want it to happen. As soon as he swooped down from the sky -- I realised, that despite his faults, or maybe because of those faults, Nathan was my favourite character on that show. Hands down. The most complex. Everything.

OH NATHAN.

God, I am incoherent here.

OK, so, thoughts.

· Mohinder's speech from "Genesis"! ♥ With a beautiful montage of our heroes, and how far they've come, and all the newness in his speechifying.

· Aw, Matt & Molly. Look at her SMILE!

· "I will not abandon my friend." ♥ OH NAKAMURAS. You are too much awesome for my pants.

· Please to be making Sylar stop being so fucking HOT. And so now he's obsessed with not only Mohinder, but also Peter, ha ha. Don't blame him. Also -- I love the whole sequence with him painting, seeing the vision in his fully white eyes, and that he's painting without paintbrushes.

· Oh FLYING MAN. He's already sent Heidi, Simon, and Monty away. Also, Mama P? That's some bad touch right there. Runs in this family, dude.

· Christ. I waffle so much on the Niki/Jessica/DL/Micah storyline thing. But I do NOT want DL to die. I like DL and Niki together.

· (I keep glancing up at my icon and wanting to cry some more. OH NATHAN.)

· Mohinder and Phil getting rid of Thompson's body. And oh protective!Mohinder is too hot for me. He's gonna take care of Molly!

· HA HA Peter on the pink cell phone. *cough*

· So Peter's taking them to go meet with Nathan. And reading Claire's thoughts. But he needs his big brother! Because he's scared, oh, woobie. And I like that Peter's over his whole "I'M GONNA ASPLODE" thing and focused on Sylar being the bomb.

· Claire? Honey? Whatcha doin'? -- And now Peter's reading Nathan's mind, and feeling betrayed, as he should, because Nathan's a tool, and Claire ran right off into Mama Petrelli, and Peter's running now too.

· Jesus, Mama P looked downright sinister.

· Also, just like Ted, Pete starts going nuclear when he gets overwrought. OH PETER.

· PS: Dear Angela Petrelli, you're a bad influence on your oldest son. LET HIM BE A HERO. JESUS CHRIST. Ambivalent Feelings Today, ashinae.

· Nathan needs to redeem himself. He needs to help Peter.

· "up and running" -- ha ha. Oh, Matt and Mohinder and Molly. ♥ WHO IS WORSE THAN SYLAR!? OH MY GOD. Is that our season 2 big bad? "When I think about him he can see me." FUCKING CREEPY.

· Aw, Mohinder never got to meet Isaac! :( Who appears to be remaining dead.

· Nathan and Angela are trying to take care of Claire -- but AGH. NATHAN. STOP BEING A TOOL. They need her to stay and help! They need Nathan to stay and help!

· "Not without Petrelli. We need to find him." And Matt's going after Sylar alone. OH MATT YOU DUMMY.

· Ooh, is this the past? Simone and Charles Deveaux! Peter must be witnessing this to see the conversation between his mum and Charles. (Oh, Peter, you poet you.)

· Yup. This is important. Charles bet on Peter to be a hero -- and he didn't want the whole bomb thing to happen. OK SO -- Linderman, Petrellis Senior, Nakamura, Deveaux. -- Interesting conversation, about how one can tell when their kids "manifest", as such. And Jesus Peter's family just keeps on disappointing him.

· See, I'd thought Pete got the ability from Deveaux, initially. But, then, he'd only just graduated from nursing school when he had his first dream/vision (Nathan & Heidi's accident) -- he wouldn't have been taking care of Charles yet. Then I thought his mum. WHO THEN?

· omg Ando omg Ando omg ANDO.

· ... Oh, Sylar. You're so yay. You and your preposterous eyebrows!

· OH HIRO. "I'm here to save you." OH. OH.

· CHRIST, Candace, this isn't nice. I'm over liking you.

· Gee, Sylar's getting lots of gentlemen callers today. Heh.

· "No. He's not on his way. He's already here." DUN DUN DUN!

· Aw. Pictures. :( Nathan, STOP BEING A TOOL. JUST STOP. YOU'RE BEING A TOOL. (Oh, touchy-feely Petrellis) -- GO CLAIRE GO! NATHAN! FOLLOW HER! YOU CAN FLY, YOU TOOL!

· (I wish Hana was in this, being gorgeous and awesome. And also gorgeous.)

· Oh, go Niki! I imagine parts of Jessica will linger, but the ability was always Niki's -- the Jessica personality was just the one who could tap into it, because she was willing to use it.

· Mohinder! Trying to save DL! He's so Dr Batman.

· Oh, Hiro took Ando home to keep him safe! "One day people will tell the story of Hiro Nakamura." ♥ "It is not the sword. It is the man. The man is ready." "Hiro! You look bad ass." And Ando looks kind of lost. :(

· "You needed to hear the truth before you saved the world." Aw, Peter. All you need is love, baby!

· Phil found Peter! It should have been Nathan. :( EXCEPT HIS NAME IS NOAH! OH I LOVE IT! And I get points for it being four letters long, right? Right? (We still don't know what the Haitian's name is, so I'm still calling him GEORGE.)

· Okay, Molly/Micah OTP for YAY. Y/N?

· Oh they are all coming to the same place as in Peter's vision. So Nathan will make his late entrance and...

· I DON'T WANT AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE SILVER SURFER I WANT THE LAST TEN MINUTES OF MY SHOW NBC YOU BASTARD GIVE ME MY SHOW

· "Haven't I killed you before?" "Didn't take." OH PETER. ♥

· OH MY GOD, MATT. OH MOHINDER, GOTTA SAVE EVERYBODY. GO NIKI WITH THE KICKASS OF KICKASSITUDE. And now Peter's got her super strength.

· "Turns out you're the villain, Peter. I'm the hero."

· "Yatta." Holy shit, Hiro. Holy crap. PETER. WHERE IS YOUR BIG BROTHER. OR YOUR NIECE. And the music and the no words until "Do it" and

· NATHAN OH MY GOD NATHAN I KNEW IT.

· "I'm not leaving you, Peter."

· "You saved the cheerleader, so we could save the world."

· "I love you, Nathan." "I love you too, Peter."

· So, Grunberg's four uncertain fates: Matt, Peter, Nathan, Sylar. Three of them are alive. One of them is dead. And oh god it's Nathan. NATHAN. I knew, I knew, I knew, but oh my god NATHAN.

· "Please don't die, officer Parkman. You're my hero." And because wee sweet Molly (Mohinder gonna adopt her? HEE) said that, Matt'll live.

· Is Mohinder in tears? Oh MOHINDER.

· "You've got a plan, right?"

· And Sylar dragged himself away. "End of volume one."

· "Volume Two" -- "Generations."

· Hiro! Where are you, baby? DUDE SAMURAI. SAMURAI! Outside Kyoto, Japan, 1671. -- Dude. George Takei is totally playing Kensei. -- Also? Eclipse.

OH SHOW. OH NATHAN. OH PETER.

OH NATHAN.

So, yeah. Ash had a good cry tonight.

I refuse to believe he's dead!!! Nope, in denial. He could have let go of Peter & flown away. Peter'd survive that. HE IS STILL ALIVE DAMNIT! Oh, Nathan.

I was thinking that Peter got the visions from Charles too, but you're right. He did get his first one before he started working for him. Maybe from his Dad, then? Maybe that's why the dad killed himself? Because he couldn't take the visions anymore?

*sputters* please be stopping with the confusing me! This is so taking more time to get used to than I thought it would be. I keep having to remind myself it is entirely possible that other people can have my name. I'm so used to it being mine, and mine alone though.

Anyway, still a few episodes behind, although I think that hiatus(es?) you guys had gave us a chance to catch up, at least a little. But still behind and I can't keep away from spoilers, naturally.

I was doing a while-watching thing on skating boards and I wrote about halfway through the ep that Nathan better damn well be stringing Mama Petrelli along. Gladdest I have ever been that he was.

So much ♥ for Peter and Sylar and Mohinder. They need to have a quasiEvil!futureverse!orgy.


THE BROTHERS LOVE EACH OTHER. OH MY GOD DID YOU HEAR THE BROTHERS LOVE EACH OTHER! LIKE IN CANON AND STUFF!!! IT'S THE SUICIDE PACT THAT LAUNCHED A THOUSAND FICS!

[loyaldreamer.livejournal.com]

Okay, so my MAJOR thought - you know the future episode? I'm thinking it's still a possibility, w/o Sylar being able to get Nathan's ability. Maybe :)

"Hiro! You look bad ass." And Ando looks kind of lost. :(

I'm repeating this as a mantra: the sword-exchange is a promise, the sword-exchange is a promise...

(I do think we'll see Ando again. It's just plain sense. Frankly, I'm thrilled to death that they're both alive and well, and that they still have each other, even if Hiro is currently in No-Man's Land, Japan, 1671.)

I don't want Nathan to be dead! *cries* Nathan is my favourite character too and I will cry big fat emo tears if he's not back next season.

<--- is finally caught up! Can finally traverse the Internet safely, and haunt the icon comms again!

Since Mohinder's Wardrobe of Fabulousness seems to have disappeared (WOE!), his power seems to have migrated to his hair, because his hair seems to be a differing length almost every episode. I miss the semi-longish curls. Sigh.

When Claire ran off and ran into Mama, I was convinced Mama was actually Candice. Me = wrong.

Yay for Charles!

So.... Niki's actual power is superstrength, ha? And the Jessica thing was sorta... just her psychology?

Molly has the potential to be very, very creepy. (Given some of the closing shots, I can see Niki and DL taking her in and taking care of her. Dad!Mohinder would be adorable, but not the safest environment for one of the most important powers either.)

Where is the Haitian? Dammit. I miss him.

<--- not convinced that Linderman is dead. Yet.

Hiro! Nathan! Peter! ARGH! I don't know who to flail over first!

Also? When you move to Alberta, I should get some musical talent and we should start a band:

Sylar and His Preposterous Eyebrows.

Best band name ever.
