Have you ever seen them in the same place?

Chapter Two: Trust and Blood

WARNING: Do not read if you have not yet seen through Heroes episode 4.2…which is actually season 3 episode 15…?

Ok, so, Heroes.  The premier last week of Part 4 Chapter 1 was good, but predictable.  I understand that they need to set up this new season or whatever so I guess I’ll forgive them.  This week’s episode, Chapter 2 Trust and Blood, was much better, because I cared a lot more about what was happening.  I have a lot to say.

Matt
How is it that Matt can use his future-seeing power way better than anyone else who got the power before?  Ok, in the first episode he drew all those pictures really well!?…when he said he couldn’t draw, and then he couldn’t tell that it was a picture of him and the cheerleader in his apartment by the window about to get shot!?  Really!? I understand that the dead African dude is mentoring him from the beyond but seriously.
I do have to say, handy—Matt can call on his power whenever he needs it, like when searching for the best escape root from the Feds/Nathan’s flunkies.

New rule: follow the man with the creepy white eyes.

Although, if he has such amazing control of his precog powers (possibly due to his previously developed mental control from hearing others’ thoughts, and influencing them) how did he not see that Daphne, a.k.a. my favorite chick on the show, was going to die!?

Up until this point…
…I did not care about this season’s main story arch.  Why should I care if Nathan is being stupid again.  He is trying to help by being über-controlling.  It seems pretty straight forward, he is putting the heroes into concentration camps…its been done.  I’m not intrigued.  I don’t have any questions about why, or how, or whatever.  I seriously don’t see why I should watch…other than Peter Petrelli and Sylar.
However!
When Noah Bennett said to Claire, “Its more complicated than you know.”  I was like, “Oh, snap.  Really? Sweet!”
See I, unlike Claire, trust Noah.  I mean when has he lead us astray?  He is the man when it comes to fighting The Man from within!  I’m just saying.  He knows what’s up, and Claire needs to grow up…and stop having a crush on her Uncle Peter. (I know that’s unrelated but seriously.  Those two have the most intense sexual chemistry.)

So I got back into it.
But why did Sylar used the remote to turn off the tv when he has telekinesis…what the hell Sylar?!?!

Props to running across the ocean, Daphne!

Human microwave…? Is he Sylar’s half-brother?  I think so.
At first I thought the human microwave thing was lame but I have to say, microwaved people, way cooler than microwaved peeps.
Sylar “And I let you live which is kind of a big deal for me” I just really liked when he said that, so I thought I would put it in here.

“I’m not giving you absolution” –Mrs. Petrelli
Um…ok…what? Who cares.  Nathan is boring.  I think Mrs. Petrelli is going to kill Nathan, just like she killed her husband.  Its going to be interesting.  I hope.

But seriously…
As of this week’s episode they have killed off all the strong women on the show. There is only the passive aggressive mother who has premonitions, the whiny slutty politician who can freeze things, and the cheerleader who can heal herself…and just got grounded. The girl who can run fast, the one with lightening coming out of her fingers, the little girl who can find people, and split-personality really strong woman, all are off the show. WTF!?

I do like Nathan’s Matrix/dress coat when he walked away, down the huge hallway and it said “to be continued…”

Next week is going to be amazing because it is sweeps week And because my love(r) Peter Petrelli is going to be leading the fight against The Man, also known as Nathan Petrelli.  Personally I think that if America gave its Vice Presidents more to do then we wouldn’t have this problem.

P.S.  I have gotten MO’B, my roommate, really into watching Heroes with me.  It started because I told her she would fall in love with Sylar—because she has a thing for tall dark and evil men—and I was so right MO’B LOVES Sylar!  At first she was afraid of his eyebrows because they are big enough to eat the world, but then she really liked his evil smile and violent use of superpowers.  Moral of the story: she is in love with Sylar despite the forests above his eyes.

I guess my question is, would she rather he wax them?

It Is Back!!

I watched Heroes and it was amazing.  I am soo happy that it is back and I can’t wait for Mondays now.  This episode was so good that I had dreams about it.  Even in the one episode you think you have everything figured out and then it gets all mixed up.  Also I was so happy about Peter’s new power it total came in handy.  I really can’t wait for next week it is going to be amazing. I love Heros!!!!

:(

Pushing Daisies is officially cancelled.  It might be picked up latter on but for now there is no more.

How I Met Your Mother

When I get older I want to have what Lily and Marshall have.  They do the cutest things and I love it.  Also I really want Barney and Robin to get together, they are perfect for each other.  And as for Ted I hope that we never meet his wife so the show lasts forever.  Okay maybe not forever but a really long time.  Also I really want a book filled with all of Barney’s amazing ideas like the lemon law and how sex is the cause of all political disputes.

Bryan Fuller is the new Joss Whedon…?

Let me go on record as saying that I LOVE Joss Whedon and I want him to be Ruler of All Things.  That being said, I didn’t realize it until recently that Bryan Fuller has given us so many wonderful things.  Bryan Fuller is the creator/producer and/or writer for Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, and Heroes!  He also created a show, Wonderfalls, which suffered from the Firefly Effect; it was cancelled after 13 episodes despite its brilliance.

I watched Dead Like Me after I bought both seasons a few years ago.  I loved it from the very first monotone narration.  Just last night I made my roommate, MO’B, watch the first episode.  That is when I realized Bryan Fuller created everything I love that didn’t come from Joss Future-Benevolent-Dictator-of-the-Universe Whedon.

George is such a relatable character…at least for me.  She makes the show with her uncensored comments and questions, ever curious boundary pushing, and adorable jaded façade.  The absurdity of teenage stubborn behavior is brought to light in an ironic and entertaining way…of course it is only entertaining because there is a TV between her and the viewer.  I absolutely hate her mom, but I think if George was my daughter I wouldn’t be able to stand her either—although I would probably make fun of her rather than yell at her.

This past fall I stole Pushing Daisies on DVD from my Mom…and watched it in one day.  And thank God I did because I ate a lot of pie that day, and I can’t afford to do that for more than one day, frozen pie is expensive?!  And why does it take more time to cook a frozen pre-cooked pie than to bake a fresh one?  I really don’t understand that.  Anyway, I am really upset that the show got cancelled.  It is so pretty, with all those colors and pies, and plastic-wrap kisses!  I think I’m partly to blame for it being sacked; I had class when it was on, so I didn’t watch it.  I wanted to but even when I tried to watch it on the ABC website, it wouldn’t work.  I decided to wait until it was on DVD but I didn’t mean for it to be the last season!  Just because I was loving it from afar does not mean I didn’t love it.  The moment I knew it was true love was when Kristin Chenoweth was cleaning the Pie Hole after closing, and took the opportunity to burst out into “Hopelessly Devoted”.

The last of Fuller’s creative contributions I have come to know—but most definitely not the least—is Heroes.  Over this past Christmas break I watched Heroes from the beginning on Netflix.  The graphic novel style, superhero adventure, made working in retail bearable for my four weeks at home.  The beautiful cast might have something to do with it.  But I’m pretty sure that the epic attempt to repeatedly save the world with help from, and blunders with, the space-time continuum, has something to do with my attraction to it also.  When the season resumes again on February 2nd I will begin posting episode critiques.

I will also be looking forward to Joss Whedon’s new show, Dollhouse premiering Friday, February 13th.

But back to my thesis, Bryan Fuller is not Joss Whedon, Bryan Fuller created TV I love, therefore people other than Joss Whedon can and do create wonderful television.  Also, networks cancel television I love.

Legend of the Seeker

This show I found out about when I thought there was nothing good on and then I found this.  It is based off of a Book called the Sword of Truth. I have not read the books yet but I love the show it has everything I love in a show scifi adventure and a love story.  If you want to watch it it is on hulu.com.  I just spent the last couple of hours watching it from the beginning.

Heroes, Season 3: A Perponderance Of Peter Petrellis

It was a much more social weekend for us than we’re used to (excluding the holidays I guess). Still, I managed to find a few episodes of Heroes, Season 3 on my screen. I agree with MediaGad Llama, that the beginning of season 3 is a bit weird. With all this jumping around in time, I found it difficult to tell if we were in a reality that was really real, or if it was a future imperfect reality that we were hoping to change. Add to that all the Peter Petrellis, including the one put in the body of crazy, formerly imprisoned killer Jesse, and it’s easy to stop caring whether Sylar is good, bad, or just merely wonder about the likelihood of a hero with a lisp like that. It doesn’t affect his ability to be taken seriously, even by all the Llamas, and we’re glad that the world is actually becoming politically correct. Or maybe that’s in the future. I can’t tell.  One positive note,  the annoying girl whose mascara runs and people die whenever she gets angry has ceased. And I want it on the record that my annoyance with her and her brother has nothing to do with ethnicity. It had everything to do with a bad storyline, bad stereotypes, and bad mascara (waterproof anyone?).

Those who have watched before me swear that the season will improve.  All the Llamas say so. I’m keeping the faith.  In the meantime, I just wanna know, how can future Peter Petrelli have a scar if he has Clare’s ability to heal?

Put away your damned rainbows

In our house, when you’re talking about Sark, it’s not the fruity, juicy-living Sark that makes Love Sandwiches.  It’s the dark Sark, the brooding, vile, Sark that makes Hate Heroes.  I just wanted to clear that up.
