Heroes 3.13

[eisoj5]

So...where did Arthur's body go? There was a definite smear of blood like he got dragged out, or he dragged himself out. Dead, or not dead?

(Sylar? Obviously not dead. They love playing with Sylar too much.)

Glad to see Micah in the list of specials....WHERE THE HELL IS MONICA?!?!?!?!??!

I liked Ando getting a power; it's still a sidekicky power, which is a little weird, but he does generally just want to help.

Sylar's mind games? Probably the best stuff out of the ep, though I've really come to hate this constant "I'm a monster!" "You're a monster!" "They made me a monster" crap. ("Monster" can also be easily replaced with "Villain". Uh...let's bring Fuller back sooner rather than later even though Pushing Daisies is dead, please?) I loved that Noah couldn't kill Meredith, or himself, and probably would've just taken it until she exploded.

Angela rocks. Glad she's still alive. :)

And now...the Nathan/Peter stuff. I love, love, love that once again, it was still their love that saved them (um, how cheesy is that line) but this time, it was Peter that had to do something to facilitate it. But WHAT THE HELL, SHOW. I am totally on board with bringing Michael Freaking Dorn on as the President, because That Is Awesome, but GET SOME CONSISTENT FREAKING CHARACTERIZATION FOR NATHAN PLEASE GOOD FREAKING LORD (I swore a lot on an earlier post so now I'm cutting back.) He went from "Visions from God" to senator to "Let's get Dad" to "Now I'm with Dad" to "I can save the world" to "NO I CAN'T JUST KIDDING ROUND 'EM ALL UP (but not me)".

Uh...okaaaay?

Seriously. It's consistent with Power-Hungry!Nathan, but it is NOT consistent beyond that at alllll. I mean, both the Petrelli boys are easily led, but Nathan had enough brains to try to go after corruption where he saw it, and to protect his family as much as he could. And his parents certainly had a ruthless drive and focus; where the hell did that go? Or is that part of Angela's "both my sons were so disappointing" bit?

Anyway. I'm a bit peeved that Nathan had to be the one spearheading this whole "mutantsHeroes baaaad" thing. Le sigh.

Hey, Hiro has no powers. Isn't that a kick in the head?

Magical Negro showed up at the end of the episode. Why? What all did Matt really do in all of this? Uh..........tell Daphne she's a good person? Good job. *rolls eyes*

"Fugitives" better be good. Grah.

Amen to that, CAPSLOCK INCLUDED. I like Heroes, but Nathan is the one character that is so inconsistent, I can't bring myself to like him. (Well, Mohinder a bit too. He's been more than a bit wishy washy lately) And Nathan's behind the X-men internment camp round up the mutants Heroes thing. Doesn't make me like the character a whole lot more.

My big question is that since Hiro destroyed the formula, does that mean the whole season we just watched didn't happen? Maybe it would be better that way?! XD Magical spirit guide man is obviously alive...

In any case, Brian Fuller--the creator of the dearly departing Pushing Daisies--is coming back to work on Heroes, so I'm looking forward to what Fugitives is going to dish out.

The screwed up thing for me, is, Nathan is the whole reason I got into the show in the first place. I wasn't really interested in the show at first, because the pilot episode was so ridiculously exposition-heavy and blah.
But when it was Nathan who flew up and grabbed Peter...that had me sold. And I cried like a freaking idiot at the end of "How To Stop An Exploding Man" because it was all about Nathan's love for his brother overcoming everything else.

But then they kinda ruined him this season. Le sigh. Somebody better fix me my damn Nathan.

Hiro only tore the formula into shreds in the present. He tore it in half in the past, which is why they were looking for two halves of the formula at the beginning of the season at all. So...sadly, it all happened.

(There were some good moments here and there...but yeah. The fact that my episode reaction posts are waaay shorter than they were even last year does not say good things about this season.)

I would really like it if the Magical Negro was alive, because he was amusing. But if all he's gonna do is shepherd Matt around for some boring-ass destiny where he hooks up with Daphne for no good reason other than "he saw it in the future"...bleagh.
