Heroes is weird

So. First of all, in the Countdown, when I saw Milo with stubble, I thought, "He's imitating Claude!" Totally random thought. I also misheard the narrator and thought he said that Mohinder was gifted with disappearing brain power. I have no idea what he actually said, but I think it's keenly accurate considering the eps. Although he's been like that for ages. But for that, I must go to

Apologies to all Mohinder fans, but the man is a MORON. Idiot. Imbecile. Pendejo. Seriously, what the fuck? If Maya, of all people is the one actually being rational in the conversation (although the was that one bit where she went "Fuck it. Let's have sex with the crazy guy.") this is BAD. 100%, extremely bad. Why is this guy still around?

I don't know what to think about the rest. I really don't. I still feel like I need more to form a proper opinion. I kinda feel like a liked some of it, though I can't really pinpoint what or why.

I do love Angela, though. I haven't liked a female TV character this much in a long time. I'm not sure how I feel about her being Sylar's mommy, though.

With Hiro and Ando I'm split. I liked their scenes much more than any of the measly, pathetic ones they had in the second season, but then there's the whole "You killed me" and "I don't trust you" (What the fuck is up with that?), which I really don't like. So.

So many things are up in the air. I just want Adam to come back on. I got this huge grin when he appeared for that second on the screen standing to some people that I didn't even notice (though I thought I saw Niki/whatever her name is now), because ADAM was there and I love this guy to little bitty pieces and I wanted to screw him right through the screen. God, that man's hot.

About the Mohinder thing -- yeah, from the audience's viewpoint it's incredibly stupid, but think about it. Who wouldn't want to have powers, honestly? Mohinder's been surrounded by people who can do all of this awesome shit and all he can do is be a geneticist and use his blood to cure a virus. I think it's pretty logical of him, from a character development standpoint, to want powers of his own. He's not stupid; he just makes stupid decisions sometimes.

I get that, but what really pisses me off about it is that he's a supposed scientist who doesn't act like one. This has annoyed me since Season 1 when he complained that with his father there were only more questions, never an answer. That's what research IS. You start with one question, then soon you have five, then even if you find an answer, which most of the time is only half of one or less, you end up with five more questions on top of that. Don't go into serious research looking for easy answers. Unless you're extremely lucky, you're going to have to work at it and for a long, long time. He's in the wrong profession if he loses his patience so easily.

Specifically here, a professional who thinks rationally would not have used himself as a guinea pig with this untested substance on the pure assumption that it would work perfectly. You have to test it, look for side effects, check that it does work and won't blow up on your face, like if often does and did.

I think probably all of that just means the writers don't really know anything about real research. XD Big surprise there...

They really don't. Research is a really hairy business. I was going nuts just doing my mini-thesis.
