May. 22nd, 2007 12:21 pm1. DUDE HOW MUCH DID I CALL IT?
Okay, so it's Peter who has unconditional love for the whole world instead of Hiro. STILL. Charles Deveaux gets a free pass on verging perilously close to Shati's Book icon because I was still screaming about that. And Mohinder and Molly with the whole "it's my blood that protects her!" thing (hi, literalization!) and Claire's "I already have a family" when the Petrellis are doing that slightly skeevy Petrelli closing in and Hiro trading everything to protect Ando and being faster than Sylar because the life of a loved one was at stake (HI ANDO I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE ALIVE AND AWESOME) and the DLikah family, which was pretty much all set up in the last episode too but whatever awesome (HI DL SO GLAD YOU ARE ALIVE AND AWESOME TOO.) Overall: YAY.
2. I loved Team Take Out Sylar. Admittedly, I also found it kind of hilarious, in a Final Fantasy-style video game way - now Matt uses his +10 Gun Power! Oops, it's deflected! Now Peter takes a swing! Now Niki takes a swing! - but so much better than Peter grimly facing down Sylar mano a mano. So, so much.
But I really wish that either Ando, Audrey, or especially Claire had gotten a turn. (Audrey where aaaaaare you!)
3. I realize this is sacrilege to much of my flist, but if anyone had to die . . . I'm glad it's Nathan. He went out in an awesome and redeemy fashion, his death does not ping any sketchy gender/racial issues, and he's not HRG I mean Noah Bennet (HI NOAH LIVE A LONG LONG LONG TIME FOR ME BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE FANTASTICALLY AWESOME. ETERNALLY.)
I also hope Candice is alive and around for S2. Also Matt. For an increasing sarcasm-ometer and Clever Use of Skillz, and yet also for continuing to take the Well-Meaning Stupidity Award every time. "He's a bad guy. I'm a cop." Oh, Matt. There is also the fact that Matt and Mohinder as Molly's two dads = HILARITY. As for Sylar . . . on the one hand, in a story-arc way, I am kind of disappointed that he's alive, because it would have been so pleasantly surprising to wrap it all up. On the other hand, in a story-arc way, Sylar and Mohinder never got any kind of wrap-up, and I would have been very disappointed if he had died without that. Also Sylar is fun to watch. So I'm okay with the Symbolic Cockroach of Sylaritude Living On.
And now, summer hiatus. Won't you be fun.

And I'm like . . .did you miss the cockroach? Did you?
DID YOU?
So.

(Also, it's part of the Mohinder-Sylar ongoing arc! Mohinder monologues about cockroaches in the very first episode. Clearly, their love is meant to be. *solemn*)

Date: 2007-05-22 08:05 pm (UTC)Well, it would be an interesting plot choice if Molly's uber-bad-guy who can see her is God . . .
Played by Alanis Morisette?
