Not-Jak post (!!)

Still no gaming time, but I did watch Heroes, so I suppose I could ramble about that. (Am I just looking for an excuse to ramble needlessly after working on really boring homework all day? No! Of course not!)

This is one of those shows I never really expected to like. Random people with superpowers saving the world. Yeah, whatever, nothing new here.

Then again, I never really expect to like anything. I think I like being pleasantly surprised or something. (So, does that make me optimistic, pessimistic, or just strange?)

These episodes jump around a lot, so I'm just going to clump them by groups of people, starting with whoever shows up first, rather than try to follow the timeline of the episode. (I moved one plotline up to sit next to the group it eventually meets up with.)



This woman has internet in her head? That's kinda trippy. (Well, we probably knew that already, but my memory's rather appalling at times, so I had perhaps forgotten.) Poor, sad, radiation man (Ted?). Didn't you already get in trouble? Vengeance is kind of a bad idea.

~-~

I still can't remember the name of the guy who reads minds. Oh, right. Matt. Thank you, dialogue cues! Wait, WHERE DID THAT RING COME FROM? He didn't really buy that!

Right, I didn't think so. From the dead guy. I figured.

Ah, now he meets up with internet-girl and radiation-man.

~-~

Poor Claire. Things are getting so crazy over there. Why is her mother not remembering things randomly and then re-remembering them? Claire, don't give away that you know about the Haitian. HEY CLAIRE. Your mother just passed out, so why don't you call the hospital instead of screaming at her to wake up, eh? Smart? We're smart?

...Your father is not the hospital. (Also, he is trying to kill Peter, who is actually your Uncle, even though you don't know that yet.)

...Well, at least you seem to finally have called the hospital. Sub-dermal hemorrhage killing her memory, then. CLAIRE TELLING THEM ABOUT THE MEMORY WIPING MAN IS NOT NECESSARILY A GOOD IDEA. If your father gets word of this, you are in a lot of trouble, and then he probably will have your memory wiped for real.

Look, I know you're upset, but maybe you need to be careful. You've already almost been killed once and your father is a very dangerous person. At least he's looking out for you, but my God do not make idiot mistakes and decisions like this.

...gah! Radiation-man, mind-reading-man, and probably internet-girl are there in the house! They have guns! And radiation!

~-~

Inviso-Peter, the walking time bomb. Wait, did that guy just tell Isaac to kill him if he shows up? They're going to try and kill Peter again? Wasn't once enough? And it didn't work before.

I keep seeing the Ninth Doctor instead of "Claude," which is terrible of me, because they don't look alike. I mean, yeah, same actor, but facial hair and... act different, and...! Bleh.

AUGH THEY JUST SHOT HIM! (Er, "Claude"-him, not Peter-him.) I think they were aiming for Peter, but they just got "Claude"! Fortunately, Peter's getting some control and stops time. And then kills the bullet-dart-things. And then flies away with "Claude." Escape!

Hee, punched in the face by grumpy invisible man! Wait, "Claude's" running away? No! We like him! He should stick around!

... Hey, don't kill Isaac. Even if he gave away your position and even if he's jealous, I still like him. He's just a little messed up!

Though he should put that gun down befo- AND THAT PROBABLY MADE HIM A LOT MORE MESSED UP. Oh, that was terrible! No! Augh!

~-~

Simone, I really don't think telling the general public about super-humans would go over well. Do not put faith in humanity, because there are a lot of bad, crazy people out there. Don't try and guilt-trip Nathan over this.

~-~

Sylar and Suresh. Sylar, you utter monster. Not enough that you go around eating people's brains, now you have to lie to the nice Indian man so you can travel with him and eat MORE brains. Ugh. Stop pretending to be nice! You're not nice! WHY CAN'T ANYONE SEE THAT YOU'RE NOT NICE?! DX

...and you just melted that nice woman's best wrench. Jerk. And she can hear that you're a freak. Excited to meet someone like you? Yeah, right. You're excited to eat her brain.

Suresh, stop talking to this guy. OH MAN. Did he not know that before? Sylar's the guy who killed your father and now he's right there and now he knows that and augh augh augh run away, Mohinder. RUN AWAY NOW.

Oh, god, woman, run, he's going to eat your brain. DX Don't stand and talk! Not that it matters, since he still gets pretty much everyone, anyway...

...Yeah, Sylar, I HOPE you have a headache, you terrible, horrible person. Suresh, catch on! AND STOP TAKING HIM TO OTHER SPECIAL PEOPLE, YOU ABSOLUTE MORON.

~-~

Yay, Hiro! ...Still stuck in the storage closet. No! You have to go save Ando! Oh! Man lets you out! ...Then he pulls out a gun. Get that gun out of his face! Hiro's awesome! Don't be mean!

And poor Ando, not realizing Hope (ha, assuming that's really her name) is completely not a nice person at all.

NO! DON'T SHOOT ANDO! Augh! Save him, Hiro! Aw, they hide in the luggage compartment of a bus! ....too bad the crazy woman finds them anyway... and tries to shoot them! No! ooh, are his powers back, even just slightly? Or did something else happen? EITHER WAY THEY ARE NOT DEAD. HURRAH!

hee~ Those two are so delightful and adorable!

...oh, no! Don't split them up! No! I am so distressed! No, Hiro, don't get on the bus alone! Nooo!


...THAT IS A TERRIBLE PLACE TO END AN EPISODE.

At least now we know who dies, right? Maybe? Blarg.


Internet works properly again (I, uh, couldn't access a whole bunch of sites most all weekend, and I'm not entirely sure why, but it was very annoying). Not properly enough for me to do my online homework, but hopefully the teacher will be understanding and not kill me. I'd rather like not being killed.

Plans are in place for Top Gear on Friday (again). Maybe this time there will not be a giant blizzard. (I thought it was very, very funny when she accidentally referred to it as Top Gun and was not even aware of doing it and certainly did not know why, because I did the exact same thing. Though apparently Top Gun is a movie or something, and I did not know that.)


...I do not use my "Angry Crocodile vs. Dolphin of RAGE" icon enough. ooh, here is a reason, though!

Haven't talked about Transformers recently, anyway. I've got the Classics line, with the exception of the Constructicons (mostly because they're not out yet, really). But there are images out. But what's this?

There are supposed to be six Constructicons! Not five! Hook has been replaces by some unknown named Hightower? No! AND WHERE IS MIXMASTER?! THEY DIE FOR THIS. No, they won't. I do wish they'd included all six, though. I like the Constructicons.

At least they remembered Bonecrusher. I mean, that's a serious step up for him, considering even the animators of the original cartoon forgot about him sometimes. (Not saying much, really. I'm not sure they knew what they were doing at least half the time.)

Regarding Top Gear/Top Gun mixups: I've never seen Top Gun myself, but [livejournal.com profile] gayjunglefever (also a fan of Top Gear) has, and she made the really rather marvellous mixup of "Hey, what's the name of the song they play during the love scene in Top Gear?"
