Belatedly but Happy Birthday beer_good_foamy!


Sometimes when people aren’t sleeping we have to watch Heroes with the sound down but it’s such a visual show you scarcely miss the dialogue. This episode had the Sylar /Peter deathmatch and future!Hiro’s string history but the most noticeable sight was the expensive garishness of the Petrelli apartment, surely nobody lives in a room with such mustard yellow walls? Although, it probably looks good decorating a magazine feature.

Mr Bennet is the man who won’t be fooled again rejecting fake Claire. He knows his weaknesses now, the location of every rusty pipe and it’s use them or lose them. Mr Bennet wins freedom and an opportunity to cover Claire’s tracks but I think Noah gives up something in the exchange.

Bennet left his contempt for schlubs showing in his interactions with Matt (very middle management, a true contender like Nathan Petrelli wouldn’t care). Nathan also differs in knowing that his emotions make him stronger and uses his affection for Peter to deflect Linderderman’s so-tempting argument of percentage points. Though it’s tempting because he has to believe he could make a difference worth such a sacrifice.

Angela tempting Claire with their likenesses. So she used to be part of the Company but split of from them? Or would like Claire to believe it. She’s very good, I still wonder how she came to recruit the Haitian. S2 rumour has it that (highlight to read potential spoilers) her power is persuasion but it would be neater if it worked as a reverse of his, the ability to highlight selected memories rather than suppress them. It is a big part of what political campaigners aim for, to get people to selectively remember the good when they’re the incumbent, the bad when they’re opposition.

Issac died well, which I’m relieved by because I like being able to like everyone on a show and the thing with Simone had me rooting for his comeuppance (not a good place to be left in). RIP Issac, the future did you no favours but you passed on it with grace.
