Heroes 3x25
I mostly enjoyed this episode. Except for those two things.
--Sylar pwning Danko. *hee hee hee*
--He changed the location of his weak spot. *flails while grinning like a maniac* Sylar is Sylar. Therefore he must be awesome.
--Noah. You turned your back on Danko?! For god's sake, man. You're smarter than that.
--Oh, look,
--Oh, Matt. I'm sorry to inform you, but you're not the Doctor. I know you've probably a huge fan and spend hours fantasizing about going off into the reaches of space in the Tardis to fight Daleks and creepy Cybermen, but it's just not to be.
--Peter is made of awesome. I'm so proud of him.
--Nathan finally owned up to who he really is by flying in front of that politician guy and Peter looked so proud and then there were the "I love you"'s and these two are so cute when there isn't massive loads of drama going on and I'm going to miss that so much, because
--He's dead. And don't ask me to be okay with that, because I'm not. Maybe someday depending on how season 4 progresses, but not now. And I've never been a Nathan fan. During most of season 1, I couldn't stand the guy because of how he treated Peter. But that's the thing. I'm a Peter fan. And this is going to kill him when he finds out. And that makes me sad.
--Inconsistencies. How to keep track of all the inconsistencies in this show? Thinking again of Joss Whedon, there was this one thing in Buffy (probably more than that, but I never noticed) that got a lot of buzz and questions and Joss going, "Oops", but it wasn't even that big a deal. Fandom easily came up with an explanation and while it's not perfect, it's good enough. But this relatively little thing was a big deal. That's what I'm used to. If there are gaffes, they're small, because the creators know we are picking this apart with a fine tooth comb. Yet in Heroes, the writers either don't know or don't care. If there's some previous fact standing in the way of their cool plot twist, they barge ahead anyway instead of trying to work some way around it.
Case in point. Noah was shot dead. Mohinder brought him back with Claire's blood. He informed Noah of this and we know Noah was paying attention because he later told Claire. Yet it never occurred to him to bring up this tiny, little detail when Angela was trying to turn his worst enemy into Nathan, which lets him live, something Noah obviously doesn't want. And with Claire in the vicinity, there was no excuse for that option not to have come up. Other than that the winters hope we have very short attention spans and don't remember season 2. And I don't like to bandy about the word disrespect, but this is just the latest grain of sand in a humongous mound.
Sylar as Nathan creeps me out. Like shivers in my stomach, squirming away from the screen creeped out.
Though not as much as that Sylar/Claire thing with makes me grimace just to write and I want to wash my brain with bleach now, please. Ever since the first episode of this season, I cannot even envision that pairing without feeling incredibly disturbed.

Me too. I have to admit, Adrian playing SyNathan is really good.
And I wasn't much of a Nathan fan even though I enjoy Petrellincest. But I didn't want him dead. Nathan was an ass most of the times, but Peter loved him and now Nathan's dead and when Peter finds out... It's too depresssing to think about it.

Poor Peter. I'm dreading the episode where he finds out. *hugs him*
