Heroes
I would love to say something deep and insightful about tonight's Heroes, but really I'm just all about the squee. And if somebody knows of a place to snag Heroes screencaps, let me know, would you? I want to make some icons.
You know, it took me a while to warm up to Claire, but now I'm completely in love with her. God. Just that image of her *literally* pulling herself together on the autopsy table was just so ::flails arms wildly at my inability to express how awesome that scene was:: And then having to walk home barefoot and pretend that everything is normal, and try to fake out her dad, and go to school, and ::flailing again:: And like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
latxcvi said in a discussion on Claire at rivkat's journal, how great was it that she decided to go for revenge on that guy in large part because she realized he was victimizing other women? Oh, Claire, you are completely made of awesome.
And someone else I suddenly thought was made of awesome tonight was Nikki's alter-ego, because DAMN. The heel to the neck! Don't threaten our son! The immensely, unbelievably hot seduction scene! Oh, alter-ego, you're the one who gets things done and lets Nikki keep her conscience! I have to love you for that, even if you are a scary murdering psycho.
And Hiro! Words cannot express how hot I found Future-Hiro, looking so tough and sounding so hot. I like sweet geeky Hiro a lot--well, more than words can express, actually--but it's kind of fun that he gets an alter-ego, too, in the form of sexy hot future actionhero self. But meanwhile, I am really enjoying Hiro's adventures with Ando (where is the slash, people? WHERE IS THE SLASH? Someone must be writing it be now!!) and the comic possibilities of Ando being the only one of the two that speaks English. That scene in the alley with the poker dude was hilarious.
I'm not nearly as taken with the other storylines (except Greg Grunberg's character! Ack! Don't wipe his brain! NO!), but I'm very happy to see them start to intersect more. For example, the politician alternately bored or annoyed me, but it was very interesting to see him interacting with Nikki's character--it definitely humanized him for me. And the intersection of all the pretty boys was nice (though I continue to think that if Mohinder wasn't the most beautiful man in world history, his character would drive me nuts with all the bad dialogue they give him), and I like where they're going in terms of plot development; I suspect I may grow to care about the artist and the nurse and Mohinder more, because they're doing a good job with the slow development of characters and increasingly complicated plots, so I'm happy to go along for the ride, even though I don't necessarily care about the other characters. (To the point, obviously, that I can't remember their names!)
So does anyone think we've seen Syler yet? I don't think he's the black guy who can block thoughts (I think that's Nikki's husband), and I don't think it's Claire's dad, either (though he seems to form a sort of double for Syler, who also steals people's powers, less by eating their brains, which I somehow assume Syler is doing even though I'm unspoiled) and more by some sort of technologically-advanced government stuff. If Syler is someone we've seen already, my vote is Mohinder's pixy-ish neighbor, but I don't know that I have fully formulated theories yet.
Oh, I love this show. Yay! It's been a long time since I've been this excited about a new show, and I've even convinced two friends in RL to start watching through strategic loaning of tapes, too.

It would really creep me out if Syler was really that innocent-looking meek lady hanging out with Mohinder. Holy crap, to imagine that meek little person impaling people with wanton abandon...I love how disturbing this show is but still very funny and hopeful at the necesary junctures.

I wish I hadn't loaned out my tapes of the first few episodes, because I'd have to go watch those scenes with Syler trying to kidnap the girl again and see if time-wise it was possible for Syler to be the pixie lady (who is *way* too innocent to really be innocent--even if she's not Syler I'm sure she has some sinister agenda).
