. . . there are no Heroes posts up on my flist yet. Guys, I need to babble! Where are your babble-enabling posts?

Here, I will start you off with discussion points:

- Does Sylar using the name "Gabriel Grey" make it any less likely that Alejandro will be the next name on the long list of dead POC, seeing as he knows by now he can't access powers anyways? *crosses fingers*

- How long will Molly stay out for? Will Mohinder blame Matt for this tragedy in the life of their daughter and leave him, continuing the cycle of Divorced Dads on the show?

- Along the same lines, is the return of Rena Sofer imminent now that Nathan has shaved the Man-Eater off?

- How kickass is Monica? A female character introduced without a rape threat, guys! :D!!!

- How much did Nathan's childhood-memory tidbits about past Angela/Kaito make me crack up? (This one, I can answer for you: A LOT.)

Oh, I'm not arguing that it's lazy storytelling. *grins*

But I guess I would rather just actually see a proportional number of parents and families - which we do, on Heroes - than not see them at all, which is what happens on Whedon shows. I find the array of Heroes issues to be more realistic in that sense, because at least the parents are an actual presence. As a high schooler? My parents were waaaay more of a presence in my life than they appear to be in any of the Buffy kids'.

This is a difference in storytelling preference, though, and I've had this argument with other people before, too. *grins*
