Heroes talk
I have mentioned the new episodes are airing again and making me ridiculously gleeful, yes?
Okay, yes, first, the minor rant that actually has nothing to do with Heroes and everything to do with the person who always ends up watching the show with me because he is incapable of not watching anything on the screen.
My father cannot keep track of anyone. Every single episode, I end up explaining who every single character is. It'd be one thing if he really were just not able to remember, but this is the only show he does this with.
"Who's that?"
"Claire. The cheerleader. The indestructible one."
"Who's that?"
"Peter. He absorbs powers? He went boom at the end of the last season?"
"...How'd he survive?"
"He's also indestructible."
"So he must've come in contact with Claire at some point."
"Yeah, he was kinda the guy who saved her from Sylar. That was kind of a big plot point."
"Who's that?"
"Sylar. HE EATS BRAINS. And Candice. She creates illusions."
"Why are they there?"
"It's an illusion."
"Why does she look like that?"
"It's an illusion."
"Why does she look different now?"
"It's an ILLUSION."
...
"Who's that?"
".....Peter."
"Is he the bad guy?"
His inability to keep anyone on this show straight (augh, they give you the characters names and everything RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN) also makes him ask questions that we don't know the answer to yet, and then he gets annoyed sometimes that I don't know.
To be fair, he does seem to realize that the killer-twins are new characters and we aren't supposed to know anything about them yet. Bleh.
BUT YAY! Heroes!
Claire's New Boyfriend. I do not like his as much as maybe I should? He bothers me rather a lot and I miss Zack. ZACK WAS BETTER. Zack didn't annoy me.
And, augh, West apparently has some sort of vendetta thing against A Man With Horn-Rimmed Glasses, which is almost undoubtedly Noah Bennet (y'know, Claire's father, or at least her adoptive one, whatever). If painting 8 comes true, I am going to have to stab someone. A lot. YOU ARE TOO AWESOME TO DIE!
Peter. Peter, stop hanging out with the Irish-gang and open the stupid box. And put a shirt on (and, yes, I realize I'm in quite the minority in thinking people should keep their shirts on). Nathan is sad without you! And beard-possessing, for whatever reason. BEARD OF ANGST.
Sylar is back! I'm kind of glad, because he's awesome! But he kills people and eats their brains, which I kind of have to disapprove of. Don't eat brains, Sylar!
And now he at least appears to have eaten Candice's brain. I'm desperately hoping that was also an illusion. If it wasn't, the girl was even stupider than I'd thought and probably deserves her Darwin Award. It's not that I'm really that fond of Candice, but that'd be a really bad power for Sylar to get. At least he can't impersonate Nathan and be president, right? Nathan of the Angst Beard and of the Shooting My Own Career In The Foot Because My Brother Went Boom?
AND HIRO NEEDS TO GO HOME. AWEGFYHKL Yeah, sure, it is fun being in the past and watching this new guy with weird healing powers and all but augh what about Ando? That was so cruel, having Hiro almost go home and then change his mind at the last minute.
But I still don't have much to say about the Matt and Mohinder behind Molly's two daddies thing, other than "bwaha!" They are so silly and frighteningly adorable.
Maya, stop murdering people with your walking-plague self. Alejandro, stop getting yourself locked up or left behind. Honestly, you keep this up and it's really going to start feeling contrived. Knock it off.
Honestly, you two are interesting, but if you don't come up with something new, I'm worried I'm going to start finding you annoying. And, actually, breaking yourselves and that new guy out of jail and going off in his car probably counts as something new, so good for you.
Want next Monday!
Non-Heroes:
Jecca's plan: finish That Annoying Thing by the end of the month, and then dedicate November to That Crack-Addled Thing. It doesn't have to come anywhere near 50k words, especially not if her wrists are still bothering her a lot at that point, but it's motivation, right?
... Brain, if you think encouraging me to finish one thing so I can jump right into the next is motivating, you are so, so wrong. But I am trying anyway!
