Heroes, 10/29/07 "The Line" Thoughts.

[dewinged]

I swear, I'm happy I can keep track of the stories on this show. There's a lot going on. Of course, one of the first things we see is a replacement Jackie the Bitchy CHeerleader for Claire. I wonder if cheerleaders feel offended by that?

Heck, they even open up pre-credits with Monica watching gymnastics, and doing awesome things, only for Ugly Man Bob to come in and tell Mohinder that they have to take away their powers. Not even HRG is helpful, which might be out of character for him. I'd rather they didn't take Monica away, and that Mohinder gets over his case of the NoBalls and gets her out of there.

And back to Sylar. God, this guy is annoying. Maya is such a wuss to buy into his story, but he is leaving out the part where he killed all those people. So, does Maya represent that part of fandom that excuses all his evil?

Hiro is still in Japen. I'm cool with that, but I hope to see the fight scene.

Noah's in Russia, shaking down a guy for information. And...the Hatian is still badass. I just wish I understood what HRG's long-range plans were, with specifics. :P

I think doing this as I watch the show isn't the best thing, mostly because I have a lot less time to come up with some wordplay as I go through this.

But I like that CLaire's not completely naive, and...her and West are up to something. No idea what, though.

And yes, Mohinder grew a pair!

The writers want us to dislike West. They're trying so damn hard. Even if it makes the new head cheerleader look stupid.

See, I want this all to go somewhere. Mohinder should have taken Molly, Monica, and even Niki, and busted the hell out of there right after stomping Bob into bacon mist. Hiro needs to get out of feudal Japan, too. I want to see him back interacting with the other characters. And Kensei...I don't like him. I don't know why, but I don't.

Hiro...save spacetime or get the girl? Not bad.

And...what, Maya can't hear Sylar expound on his evil plan? Which was like his last evil plan. His...originality is lacking. A Lot. Well, he didn't have much to begin with. Die, Sylar, die.

And Noah? Damn, that was pretty cold.

And Kensei? Needs to get the fuck over himself.

But Bob? Damn, what's his angle with Monica now? He wants something.

After that little speach, I can't see anyone thinking Sylar is ever going to be 'sympathetic'.

I think rather than the Writers wanting us to actively dislike West, they want to show that not everyone is going to use their powers in a responsible way. Not too much real mischief you can get into with flight, though.
