Claire got no pity from me. The whole Sylar/Elle thing is idiotic. I still can't get back the horrible buildup to really get into Matt/Daphne (the whole "meant to be" motif is really not my thing). Though Daphne’s such a dear. I literally went "Awww" when she hugged her Dad. Hiro as a ten year old is making me dizzy. I had to distract myself by starting the bibliography for the dissertation. I think my dislike of children is a big part of it. And how the fuck was Isaac supposed to come up with all those comics that far down the line anyway? This show really needs to get rid of the prophetic comics/paintings. It's even cliché by this point. Why can't they shelve the season 1 techniques and go something else? But of course since these people ramble around like a child lost in New York without a map, they have to be lazy and have the characters following directions as if they were setting up a stereo system. It's such bullshit.
The only two things I liked were Bennet and Peter. When they were on the screen was the only time I was paying full attention. I love it when Noah gets all Jack Bristow-like. It makes me feel all gooey inside (yes, I know I'm weird. It's a family trait). I want to watch Alias now. And yay for sensible Pete who wants to figure out how to be a hero without his powers. I want to hug him. But why does Nathan have to be such a twat?

True, but on the bright side, sometimes they do regain their awesome eventually: Peter, for one.
Heh, Angela would just shrug and baby him and think his little rebellions are adorable. I think after a point Arthur would just ignore him completely, which really, was probably better for Peter.
Yay! Aww, scared!Peter makes me sad, but still, he deserves a snuggle. I can't wait ;)
From:
no subject
Yeah, he'd give up after some point. And Peter would probably move out as fast as he could. I bet that's how he got his self-reliant, don't depend on the family trait.
Poor guy. He needs Claude love. I do want to know what happens in the next episode before finishing and posting it because of that spoilery pic with him holding a gun. Right now, I'm figuring setting it after thsi volume.

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I figure he was probably half raised by the help.
He really does; even his brother's off being an idiot again. Mmm, good point. Well, either way: exciting!
From:
no subject
That sounds very plausible. No wonder he's so down to earth and nonsnobby.
Ugh, Nathan drives me crazy. And I started to like him, too. Why does he always have to regress to world domination.
From:
no subject
Aww, Peter. I like you so much better when you're being a human being. It's like the minute the main attention shifts away from a character, and they can just be peripheral and doing their own thing, they're a thousand times more interesting.
Because he's the son Arthur Petrelli liked. And raised.
From:
no subject
Very true. And his not having powers is doing wonders for his character. It's bound to bring up all sorts of new existencial angst. First, he was so excited about his abilities, then they became too much and he was going to destroy New York. Then he wanted them taken away and now they have been. Hell of an emotional roller coaster.
Yeah. I kinda want him to find out that his father tried to kill him, though that'd be mean.
From:
no subject
It really is. I like that he's back to wanting to be a hero, but is being somewhat sensible about it. And yes, going from liking that he had powers to having terrible dreams about blowing up NYC from them to losing them...poor thing.
I think he might even already know; if not, Angela seriously should've told him, when he and Peter were at her bedside after she woke up from the coma.
From:
no subject
Peter just has to help people. He's a nurse, (was) an empath, he's so kind and giving even to a brother who doesn't appreciate him. And what is it with Nathan just leaving him there in Haiti? Couldn't he at least give him a lift back?
Good point. They must have talked before Nathan and Peter went off to Haiti.
From:
no subject
He's the sweetest guy, and for once the writers are actually showing that, and not just having all the other characters tell us about it. I know! I mean, yes, he left him with a gun. But...it's Haiti, dude. Foreign white guy wandering through the forest? Not a safe situation to leave your brother. I think he left him mostly just because he didn't want him around to mess things up with his trip to Pinehearst, but seriously.
I would hope, but knowing that family...
From:
no subject
And in the middle of a battle zone. Just because Samedi is taken care of doesn't mean that his soldiers aren't around. At least he's with the Haitian, whose appellation really is ridiculous now that we're actually in Haiti. I think I'm going to call him TH. At least then I can pretend that they're initials.
Deception is their middle name. Seriously, where did Peter come from?
From:
no subject
Yeah, and just about all of Haiti, at some point or another, is a battle zone. God, Nathan, do you just not care about your brother at all? Poor man seriously needs a name, it's true.
I think he came from Angela's hope for a son that could be just hers and not all about Arthur's ambition, and also, being raised partly by the help.
From:
no subject
If it weren't for that scene in season 1 where Peter was dead, I would doubt that myself. Does he remember that Peter isn't invulnerable anymore? Would he feel guilty if Peter was killed?
Each had their own son to manipulate, though Peter got the better end of the deal, I think.
From:
no subject
I guess it's not impossible that he figured that the eclipse gave Peter his powers back as well, but it seems unlikely. For one, if that had been the case, he could've flown too! So...yeah, I think he would feel guilty. He should feel guilty!
In the end, yeah, but between the mother who manipulated events so that her favorite son would blow up half of NYC, and the father who wanted to kill his protege...well, yeah. Tough choice there.
From:
no subject
So far, I'm taking that as a sign that he didn't get them back. He lost them under different circumstances, after all. And if he had then, why would he need a gun in the next episode? TH should go to Nathan, act all aggrieved, and pretend that Peter got killed to see how he reacts.
And she did tell Matt to kill him if he insisted on following Adam. He needs a new family.
From:
no subject
Yeah, it's pretty obvious that he didn't, but maybe Nathan thought he had...? I don't know, I'm having a hard time figuring how he could've just left Peter in goddamn Haiti (which I'm sure has lovely people and things, but not exactly the safest place to take a vacation!) TH should do that. It would serve him right.
He should go live with Claude and the lame duo in London. That would be better for him.
From:
no subject
He said something about having someone pick him up, I think, so he's got to know that he can't fly. Argh, Nathan why do you have to be such an ass?
Ooh, Plaude in London fic. So many things that need writing.
From:
no subject
What he said was, "Go see TK at the embassy, he'll get you home!" Which...where the fuck are they that they can walk to the town that would have the embassy? They're in the jungle! What the hell, Nathan!
Yes. Things that need writing, *cough, cough*
From:
no subject
Oh. Great. Are they anywhere near Port-Au-Prince? Doesn't look like it.
Oh god. I've lost track of how many fics I have on the do list (and that's just from tonight's bunnies). And I have 2 essays to research. Dammit.
From:
no subject
Aww, well. Finish your essays first, you. School is important. Not as important as fic, but you know. Somewhat.
From:
no subject
Yeah, kinda more important. I have to spend tomorrow at the library.
From:
no subject
Bah. That's no fun.
From:
no subject
I know. I really should get to it now (the books I have here, not the library).
From:
no subject
Oh, I know the feeling. There's problem sets I should be doing at this very moment. I am not doing them. At all.
From:
no subject
Very bad. Actually, I do need to read through some of these books before going to bed. It's 1:22.
From:
no subject
So stop distracting you, is what you're saying? I got it. Good luck with the reading!
